Microsoft Copilot 365. Where do you want to go today?

Corporations don't get "sad" they are heartless beasts fiending for next quarter's profits.

Unpopular (on /.) opionion - I want "smart" appliances. I really do. I want my washer/dryer to tell me when it's done while I'm out mowing the yard. I even want it to sense the "wetness" of the clothes, and continue to run until they are warm, dry and fluffy, rather than a hot and slightly soggy mess.

What I don't want is for them to track how much laundry I do in a day, the weight of said hot soggy mess, what brand of laundry soap I use, etc. I don't want it selling me stuff in my own home anymore than I want the seedy used car salesman two blocks over trying to sell me something in my own home.

Most of what I want can be achieved with an esp32, some sensors, and Home Assistant...if I neglect my family for a weekend.

What I want is probably what most people want... something useful that isn't also a double-edged sword.

I suspect it will get more features before it gets better. Or are Humans going to be extended to fight off the virus?

But I wonder if this is more about making the Government(s) pay for the data, rather than to protect people's privacy.

The Internet surfs you!

I just used Kodi to watch YouTube on my Fire TV the few times I actually wanted to watch something from YouTube on TV. Of course, it will be nice to be able to search by voice rather than having to type in what I'm looking for.

I was hoping the pig was just dead.... but noooo. They had to reanimate the brain of a pig that had been slaughtered. Let's revive the brain for a bit so it can feel the phantom pain of a missing, body. We're either working toward Zombies or Necromancy. I think we should stop in either case. On the other hand, it would be nice to be able to revive dead portions of the brain... but what if the brain damage is really just to protect the rest of the being?

We should make Google a Thank You card for keeping Oracle out of the Smartphone market.

Linus: I'm going on vacation with family, leave me the f*** alone.
Organizers: Is this the fam?
Linus: You understand, don't you? There's no other solution. You won't go away.
Organizers: I will.
Linus: No, you won't. You're just *saying* you will! But then, after I don't kill you, you'll show up again. And you'll do something else to make everyone in my life think you are wonderful and I'm a schmuck. But I'm not a schmuck, Bob, and I'm not going to let you breeze into town and take my family away from me, just because you're crazy enough to be *fun*.

It's the same winner, every time. Money.

haha, my grandma always called mazols - http://www.mazola.com/

....or they should just leave well enough alone!

If he has a weapon and you're already shoving him.... keep at it, and make sure you shove him hard enough to impair his use of the weapon.

It's the first result on Google Search, why would either choose differently?
