AI spreadsheets: excel, but sometimes were going to fuck up the math.

That should say, "...so your real CC number is NEVER actually used"

1. The ApplePay system is more secure because you have to initiate the payment. Nobody can just walk up and press a payment terminal up to your card.
2. Additionally, the ApplePay system uses a rotating number in the background, so your real CC number is actually used (from what I understand)
3. In my own personal experience, the tap-to-pay system on my card is much less reliable than my phone or watch. I don't know why or how; it used to be better, but then I got a new card and now it's terrible.

I use my card when making large purchases that require a chip-and-pin. I would actually go so far as to say that NFC should be removed from cards because of point 1, and they should only be used for chip-and-pin transactions, while phones take over all tap-to-pay transactions.

I don't understand QR codes on smartphones, but apparently they're popular in other countries because they can be used by even extremely cheap dumbphones.

You European socialists LOL

Americans have no idea how badly they're being ripped off by corporate ISPs here.

Comcast in Northern VA would drop almost daily during congestion times. They'd have to drop WAY down in price before I'd ever consider switching back

Could be worse, in Virginia, they literally made it *illegal* to have your town provide municipal Internet unless:

1. it's not priced lower than any existing for profit offering
2. it has to prove it will be profitable in year ONE.

Just insane regulatory capture by Comcast and Verizon.

Historically accurate and I love me my Brother printers....but, they've started requiring chips in their cartridges which is the first step down the path to evil.

Rented an Ionic last year and it most definitely defaulted to lane keeping being ON.

Rented a VW earlier this year and it also defaulted to ON.

Suggesting that you just keep fighting the correction to stay to one side is a hilarious way to over correct and end up off the road. Yes it will eventually 'defer' to your inputs if you want to CROSS the line but now you have to manage your extra push with how fast the car stops pushing.

I'd wager it has it's own data connection you're unaware of.

Saying fucking asshole things. They're tired of having to pay skilled labour what it's worth, and AI isn't going to actually take the jobs, so they have to make everyone scared by saying things like this and laying off hundreds of people at a time.

Funny how such easy to predict actions aren't being threatened with being replaced. As more than one other person has said here, CEOs are ripe for replacing; nobody would even notice the difference.

that puts the risk where it belongs, the users running janky unsupported hardware.

leaving the old unsafe drivers available through windows puts every windows user at risk.

very noticeable in NY, Since 202 you don't have all the trash stuck at every fence line and wooded area

yep. the 9/11 bombers emails *were* monitored and they still entirely missed them. b/c the wiretaps were for things being *sent/received* and not for drafts so the bombers just wrote each other drafts on the same email account.

Giving up such fundamental security to the gov't makes no one secure.

I mean, it sounds like you have bad neighbours. I live in a townhouse, and my neighbours (co-owners, really) are great. We help each other out. I can ride my bike for a few minutes in any direction and be out on a beautiful trail or out by the lake. Don't get me wrong, I've very deliberately selected a city to live in where access to nature is trivial. That was a priority. But I'd be happy enough to live in an apartment here if I needed to, the only thing that stopped me in the first place is the rules/laws surrounding pet ownership (I had 3 cats at the time, 4 now).

I'm much more in favour of being communally rich. Whole forests and lakes are available to me, not just a yard and a backyard pool or whatever. There are lots of ways to have peace and quiet and beauty, and only a few of them are living out in a field, isolated from everyone else. I'm a pretty introverted person, but when the park is big enough, you don't have to talk to anyone to enjoy it.

I think to be fair, it has both a problem with not enough taxes and bad priorities. Unless one of the priorities you're talking about is corporate welfare and low taxes on the rich. Certainly it is the case that they (and Canada) could raise enough money if they would actually just enforce their tax laws and implement wealth taxes on the ultra-rich.
