Comment Must have been a "required app". (Score 2) 29

Five minutes is plenty of time to remove an app from a smartphone, so I assume this was a feature the owner had to have included in the infotainment package. Would have been nice if they could simply uninstall it and recover use of the rest of their system. A worthless icon on screen for people not subscribed to Sirius.

Comment Can they fix laptop keyboards + fast boot next? (Score 1) 94

I upgraded my Carbon X1 to Windows 11 recently and after that my keyboard does not work on normal boot up from a shutdown state. If I restart it to get a full cold boot then it works fine. I've seen a couple more posts on this issue and the only solution is to disable Fast Boot so every boot is a full reload. Saw some mention this started with a 2024 feature update, so it's been an entire year now with no fix.

Comment Re: All right, but is it any good? (Score 1) 34

I've seen some documentaries on YouTube that are narrated and probably at least partially produced with AI. They might have been interesting, but I would never pay to see them. Most video I see made with AI is just short clips generated from a still frame. Not long enough takes to really see it as "video". Reminds me more of animated gifs.

If Hollywood studio heads think this is the future and they will someday be doing the same thing, I hope they are prepared to start making the same salaries their Indonesian counterparts make, because the business won't be pulling the same revenue it is now.

Comment Are human food delivery people our friends? (Score 1) 49

I've seen enough posts on Reddit about someone getting their Doordash minus part of the food to not trust a third-party to deliver anything to me. At least when the delivery person is employed by the restaurant directly this seems to be taken more seriously, because it directly impacts that business's reputation.

Comment Re: Tipping (Score 3, Insightful) 49

I have no issue with people in the service industry getting a living wage. I think it's great. But it should be built into the price of the product. Right now you just have managers trying to fake their actual costs of business. The people performing those service jobs spend the same amount of time doing the task whether the customer is a tipper or a skinflint. Why should their income be dependent on how big a twat their customer is?
