For a while I thought something like a life recording would be awesome ... Using your own cameras and devices at home and away and leveraging public devices to mesh together a record of everything really. Think of the possibilities, you have an argument and insist you did or did not say something...look it up! If you are accused of something like robbing a bank - no problem, my feed and gps and video evidence says otherwise. And when you are an old coot you can go back and watch the sex you had with whomever whenever isn't a negative . Then I realized the storage needs and someone would monetize it so only the wealthy could get a full backup and you got tier 32 ( birthdays and blowjobs maybe ) ... Now years later I realize without our permission they are doing exactly that, only fuck it all because we can build more storage and the intent has changed. It's not to sell you a service. In fact it is much worse.

I grew up in the 1970s air travel wasn't cheap but it was accessible. You were treated well. I (6 at the time) got to go to the cabin and stood right there between pilot and co pilot ... Captain gave me a metal chrome pair of wings (pin with logo and I think a plane) .... I was flabbergasted... Walked guided by the stewardess silently to my seat. There was courtesy and the mindset during those years and up to maybe late 80s was "the customer is our greatest asset". Now profit is the greatest asset and the customer is in the way. No wonder we all go around pissed off. Bags were FREE UNTIL 9/11 and they said we will only charge temporarily until the crisis is over. Asshats and liars.
I'll try again when I'm back on my own laptop.
Small town rural USA. I'm not even out in the sticks in middle TN yet some stuff is a good 2 to 3 hour drive away. I don't even have my car dealer less than 1 hour away.
Sure, but I'd rather have my info safely offshore in China than to give it right to big brother. I also bet far far fewer ads and more fun commercials because you have no idea what they are about. They are currently destoyjng the natural order in printer ink. I support that wholeheartedly. My Epson inks are 90 and the knockoffs are 20 and work just as well. It's always temporarily beneficial when player 2 enters the market.
*Edit it does not like vpns. That's a no for me.
I like this. I'll check it out when I get home or if I hide from work today.
I've long thought that we need a web 3.0 that uses a different protocol entirely and is techie and difficult like getting on bbs'es was in the 80s . For a good 20 years until that one gets enshitified too we have another chance.
I meant more like if I am forced to get another phone before it comes out. I should at least try to put a new battery into my edge and I've done it for several phones but there's always that 10 percent chance you might bork your phone.
I haven't heard of this. Looking into it there's at least a year wait. I'd consider it - though my Edge 2022 battery may not make it until then. Damn thing was crap from day 1.
It makes sense. I'm not spending a dime.... I'm not signing up and giving my credentials out to any other AI ... I already have Google . Gemini is good enough for the things I look up monus occasionally being dead wrong which all of them can do. I don't make stupid memes or videos.
No - at least I'm homest. By your reply I guess they are. Thanks.
Poor guy with laptop chiming in- could even make the crappy laptop a firewall. Linux is cheaper.
