I recently got rid of my smart watch when Samsung enshitified it and locked a bunch of features like weather updates behind an account, years after I bought the watch.
Now I have a dumb mechanical watch (quartz crystal, not spring winding) that will last years before I need to replace the battery. Everything it does, it does better than a smart watch. Not having to do the wrist flick gesture 1-3 times to check the time has been amazing. And I'm not constantly broadcasting Bluetooth anymore.
Idk, in my experience that's exactly what Google was useful for. One of the many reasons it was so good around 2010 is it could find stuff without knowing exact keywords. Googling a full sentence question has pretty much always been possible. All the AI data is literally coming from the same place.
These days there's so much noise in the results, I can't find much of anything I don't already know I'm looking for.
Back in my day, you could have just Googled it. Web search is complete trash now though thanks to a combination of Google and AI.
The term "influencer" is about as descriptive as "AI" now, it's way too big a category to really say anything useful about.
Personally I would consider independent product reviewers as "influencers", and companies being able to fake that by paying a real person via strict sponsorship terms or using AI are both a huge problem.
Didn't Microsoft just pull this same thing and now there's all these 0-days getting released publicly as vengeance? I swear, all these companies are sharing the same brain cell...
Most servers you rent are only going to have 1Gbps internet speeds too unless you're paying extra, so if you've got symmetrical gigabit at home, you're 100% good to go, except for maybe higher downtime than a datacenter. My fiber at home seems to go out for a bit overnight occasionally as they're doing maintenance.
Wtf, it sounds like the Tesla was going 60+mph in a residential area... Is this another case of the driver holding the throttle down preventing autopilot from braking? That's what happened on the first case Tesla lost too
