Or I ask to go to Costco, and where Assistant previously would route me to the nearest one, Gemini sends me to one 80 miles away

Fortunately, at the farmers market, you can usually look up the farmer. Eg, visit once or twice just observing, seeing who gets visited by regulars, Google the farm name to look up details and reviews, etc

It is depressing, but I try not to forget we are seeing a sort of survivorship bias of stupidity on the former Twitter at this point. The cohort of remaining posting accounts is dumber and dumber on average. And this dynamic is magnified in the replies, because they are paid blue accounts at the top. Eg, self-selected losers. (The top account has likely just hidden their checkmark)

Edit: PS, are you still using Nitter? I thought it had died?

Many supermarkets are enshittifying/rent seeking too though

And drink verification can

Yes, this is the problem. Not much choice, and most of the corporate ones are moving to various shitty practices. Oddly enough, many of the big corporate chains are now closing locations en masse, such as Rite Aid

Some stores have started requiring the app to get your prescription. Happened to me. They actually made me install the app before they would fill my Rx. I stopped using that store and went to another neighborhood.

This is interesting timing! I was considering trading in my Pebble Time, since Samsung was running one of their “trade in any smartwatch, any condition” deals. But I couldn’t do it. I found myself reconnecting the watch and setting it up to connect to the third party Rebble servers and putting apps on it like the old days. It’s remarkable how well this device aged, and its interface is still so much more fun and endearing than anything WearOS can offer. So I wish them the best!

Yeah, the article discusses it. It was unique here, though, that everyday Subaru employees have a way to see at least a year of location history for all customers, with no restrictions

Andy Greenberg is a great security journalist and Wired is not a rag. It’s a legendary technology magazine with a lot of great coverage. Journalists deserve to get paid. The article has a lot of broader context and interviews with the security researchers, Subaru and other experts. Plus, it’s not even a hard paywall. Delete your cookies or find one of the myriad other ways to read it such as the link above. Or don’t. Your loss

They want a raise. I expect they also want more headcount. Go to a Costco warehouse in a major city and it’s absolutely wild how overrun they are. People are buying from Costco because buying in bulk is the only way to make it with current food prices.

It’s just another mask he wears, and I think even the gullible trumpers aren’t really buying it (yet)

It’s my right to say it’s shitty behavior and I look down on it

I have a 2018 XPS 15. I really like the machine but have also had more problems than any other laptop I’ve owned. The chassis fell apart spontaneously because an internal screw mount snapped. 1 month repair. Had to redo the CPU thermal paste to resolve overheating issues. Had driver issues with audio coming back from sleep that took me a year to figure out. Had to turn off Thunderbolt to get USB-C back functioning. Memory card reader keeps unmounting itself. Doesn’t have TPU, so I had to jump through hoops to get W11, which I need for some work stuff. Just a lot of drama. The screen is still wonderful to this day, and it has a nice keyboard, weight, and performance with 32 gb ram and faster SSD, but I don’t think I’ll get a new Dell. If I’m going to spend so much time tinkering with the laptop, I’d rather have a Framework that’s fully designed for tinkering

They seem to pathologically not be able to help themselves, even with products that don’t need to be promoted that way. I used Outlook for Android for years because it was actually quite good. Had a multi account inbox view, true dark mode, Galaxy Watch compatibility when those were all rather unusual features. But then they started trying to put Bing search in my long press menu system wide, using Outlook as the Trojan horse to do so, and I just found that too obnoxious

I could see the strategy making sense to release something as the current cycle dies down. His previous expose of the color blind glasses happened over several months

MegaLag has other videos coming. I would assume Honey is also selling a shit ton of purchasing behavior data

I did a double take at first- PiHole, how could you!!

Yes, as mentioned in the first sentence of the article
