So, what your saying here is that the A in AI actually stands for artificial, and it’s not really intelligent and reasoning.

Huh.

Next you’ll tell me that cat’s aren’t white meat either…

Just checked and you are right. I’m so used to hearing “Pork, the other white meat” that I mis-understood.

Except that salami is typically made of pork, which isn’t a red meat. Most cured meats and sausages are pork based.

Target didn’t figure out a teenager was pregnant before her father did, and that one article that said they did was silly and bad.

Had someone in a restaurant ask the manager if they could turn down the music playing, they were in a business zoom meeting.

The Feeling of Power might be close enough. It’s an Isaac Asimov short story from 1958. Basic plot is that people have become so reliant on computers, they can’t do basic math or counting. It’s about what happens with mental decline with making machines do all the thinking. (There is more, and the link explains the story but I feel that I shouldn’t include spoilers, even for a 50+ year old story.

If you want, you can read the scans of the original here.

Also, Dad’s Nuke touched on this kind of subject with people having get together and they have to make their own food and come with things like Jalapeno Pie/Cake(?) and other interesting dishes which indicates that people are already losing the ability to do basic cooking.

DOGE already defunded that government department.

I’m curious what CPU was in it, as there aren’t any CPUs listed from 2019 that aren’t supported.

Things have changed since then. Steam not only has a Linux client, but also has Proton which loads most Windows apps (it’s marketed for games, but in reality it will work on Windows apps).

Most games that don’t have kernel level anti-cheat tend to work.

Have you tried to play the games or did you look them up on a site? I’ve found that unless you are looking at a popular new game, a lot of the games listed are saying that they don’t play, but we’re last checked in 2023, and they do work now but no body has updated the new results.

Congratulations on the downgrade. You’ve gone from an OS that will support your hardware from at least 10 years, to maybe 7 years of support.

On a serious note, what can’t you do with your Pixel? The only issues I’ve had is I can’t access networking functions. Beyond that, not much limits in most things I do. And with Android 16 allowing for installing Linux apps (not just terminal ones, but full graphical ones like VS Code, Blender 3D, etc), there is little I can’t see it not being able to do. (No Wireshark though, but that’s networking, the only painful point for me).

Krita is also available on Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details/Krita?id=org.krita&hl=en_GB

From the article: “In October, students at Assumption University in Massachusetts allegedly lured a 22-year-old man to campus, called him a predator and chased and attacked him when he tried to escape, according to a police report. After reviewing the man’s Tinder messages, officers said the man had thought he was meeting an 18-year-old student, not a 17-year-old, as the students had alleged.”

Thats how. You lie.

Possibly the fact many customers don’t want it. According to three Apple CarPlay site:

With digital car keys and the already seamless experience of Apple CarPlay, there are more ways than ever to take your iPhone on the road. With car keys, you can unlock and start your car with iPhone. And CarPlay gives you the ability to safely use what you love about your iPhone while you drive.

I don’t have an iPhone, so from all the marketing blurbs, it’s pretty much saying “Spend a ton of extra money for something you can never use.” I’ll pass on spending $1000+ on that useless"upgrade". And since Apple is notorious about locking iThings to Apple only hardware (or just not having full functionality when they do allow it), I doubt I’m alone in this thought.

So you went from a 10 year upgrade cycle to a 7 year upgrade cycle?

Hey, when it’s literally different, then it’s different. This isn’t both sides are the same.

This tired whataboutism… Really? Just stop.

It’s the same answer as always, the iPhone/iPad was marketed and sold as a “do all” device (“IPhone, there’s an app for that” and the iPads “What’s a PC?”). Game consoles are sold as a limited functionality device. These aren’t the same at all.

When it falls into false advertising in every market that the iPhone is sold, it is.
