Sure. But would that be convenient?
I hold nothing against buttons if people really want them, but many others would just prefer a larger touchscreen, and this seems to be the target audience here.
Because buttons take space, reducing space available for the screen that has, well, the book.
The good sensor is the answer, IMO. I only wonder how should it turn on and off, then.
Almost Half of US Data Centers That Were Supposed to Open This Year Slated to Be Canceled or Delayed
Of course not! Something getting cheaper for retail is a tragedy for the markets.
Some players take the mask off straight away:
Always were. They simply have to come up with more ways to squeeze the rest out of their userbase to justify investments.
Was the plan all along. You gotta pay the same price, but now also watch ads and have it all gone once you stop paying for subscriptions.
There's not one, but plenty of terrible jobs.
I've been at the slaughterhouse, and it is indeed one of the most horrific experiences I had. The smell of stale blood, the heat, the constant repetition, and normalized violence. It takes a mental toll.
And working in delivery (which I also did) takes a physical one - especially when you're a walking courier, which these things are aimed to replace. Back problems, damaged feet, severe calluses, chafing, muscle pain, high risk of all sorts of traumas...the list goes on. Add to that that the rates paid often force these people to overwork way past their healthy physical limits, and you get a recipe for disaster.
Students choose it, because they need an unqualified job that can adapt to their study schedule. Gig work does that. But the rest is pure exploitation, which finds its reflection in health issues, lack of time and fulfillment, and, in case of students - a fall in academic performance.
Eliminating terrible jobs may come with new, somewhat less crushing ones.
The reality of the labor market on its lower end is that plenty of jobs are unnecessary and artificial. They are meant to generate employment while not reducing working hours or (re-)educating people to take jobs that are actually in demand. It is a simple band-aid, that is easy for the government and good for capital (as it gets both incentives from the government and a pass on building a gig economy).
The more terrible, crushing jobs we eliminate, the more the government is forced to actually do something meaningful about the labor.
To be fair, the delivery robots I've seen (made by Yandex, which is known for bleeding-edge developments in self-driving technology) made good job to be as unobtrusive and predictable as possible, while also avoiding humans in quite a large range.
My only issue with them is that these are camera-equipped devices rolling the streets and likely sending all that footage to their Big Tech daddies. Besides that, they do their job well, reducing the need for hard human labor.
Okay, I don't like AI much, normally, but this one is pure gold
Never expected it to roast even barely known sites with such level of detail and taste
How do people tolerate this? Just looking at this pic makes me want to turn it off and throw it out the window.
Literally nothing about the interface is about the user. It all screams everything except what you might want or need. Well, maybe the Zootopia tile is good, of all things, but not much else.
Maybe
