This reminds me of the movie WALL-E where are the humans never leave their la-z-boy type chair and watch videos on VR while scoffing food.

^this.
every day it is "tung tung sahur" in our house

This is not my words but ChatGPT generated:
"Tim Cook made a terrible decision at Apple - one of the worst! Once a great company, now losing its edge because of bad leadership. Sad to see what's happening to an American icon. People are tired of overpriced phones and bad ideas"

Quick funny story from this weekend:
on a pacific north west ferry we watched as an owners car alarm was going off due to the vibrations. He could not use his phone to enter the car nor turn off the alarm (cell service?)
I assume he did not have a physical key either as it was never witnessed by us.
after a lengthy phone call with someone (car vendor?) he was able to turn the alarm off.

This is the exact opposite of what made the Jeep great.

genius! funding please!

you are not wrong but I want to point out one thing. I have owned an echo 5 (?) for years and about twice a year the ads silently get automatically reenabled.
Its been feeding me ads for about 2 years I think, maybe a bit more.
I gave up turning them off and after reading this article I think I may finally unplug the echo. It primary use is "what is the weather forecast" and "set a timer for..."
in addition to the setting being buried at least once -> Amazon moved this setting between menu branches!


2nd point to note: the ads between Amazon music are feeding us border line inappropriate things for our kids - example: "watch this crime TV show" and then it goes on to describe murders.

I am impressed: there is a government is able to log all requests, assign severity and action on a *daily* basis

Thanks, I actually laughed out loud.

Its funny because when I read the Slashdot title, I was like: "This is a whole other world that does not apply to me, charging my Porsche"
must be nice.



nothing against the post. in fact I learnt something new.

I think its time we make this term more popular
