It sounds like someone with an diagnosed mental disorder they should be medicating for.

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.

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.

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.

Guys will be using it to AI enhance their nano banana before they send it to a chick.

I'm waiting with bated breath for someone to suggest an AI filter the reports so the human can work more efficiently.

No one needs to be able to solve anything with their own brain. It envisions a future where it will do all the thinking for humanity.

Just keep it deactivated and only use it on hump day.

Seems like many other smart devices become complete e-waste when their corporate masters lose interest in the venture. You can still use these as actual speakers, even with Bluetooth.

Takes too long to build out. Shareholders demand a return in only a few years.

You can buy a refurb workstation off eBay with an old i5 for the same and get better performance and higher-quality components.

Reminds me of that line from Contact (1997): "Why build one when you can have two at twice the price?", which was about government spending, too.

No one would be complaining if a Linux vendor released a commercial like this to promote their OS. Instead the comments here would be filled with I.T. professionals talking about the CrowdStrike event, and how all the Windows systems were dead in the water but their *nix-based ones were humming along.

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.

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?
