both forced to only consume AI generated slop Let’s force them to eat food that looks like the food does on the AI generated menus, with the weird tire shrimp and all

Windows 8 was where Microsoft went all-in on optimizing Windows to run on low-power tablets to compete with the iPad. It's mostly remembered for the terrible tablet-first full-screen "start menu", but also continued the work to trim away all the Vista bloat that had started with Windows 7 (where the motivation was to make it work on netbooks so they could finally stop shipping XP)

Whoever inside of Netflix pushed for this, you're fighting the good fight!

The screen died on my wife's iPhone, fine I have other spare iPhones aplenty she can switch to. But at some point she had accepted a prompt on the iPhone to switch to eSIM so we couldn't just move a physical SIM over, you had to go through the "transfer eSIM" menus, which we couldn't do because the screen was dead. The only option the carrier gave us was going to a physical store. I'm never switching my main carrier to eSIM, what a PITA for absolutely no upside. (they're great for throwaway travel SIMs though)

$30/mo for 10 Gbit here in Japan. They just started offering 25 Gbit in parts of Tokyo this month for $200/mo

What happened to Second Life anyway? All the gooners are on VRChat now and they seem to be doing fine

My parents came to visit my over xmas and installed Airalo to get a local SIM. Activation failed, the support AI bot re-issued the eSIM, activation failed again, it got escalated to human support, they asked for a refund, and 12 hours later randomly the phone popped up an "eSIM activated!" message. That would have sucked if you actually relied on needing the SIM on landing.

The EU is still poorer than the US

The poor parts of Eastern Europe like Romania are awash in cheap, fast internet though

Hasn't the Prius also generally used NiMh batteries rather than the Lithium-based chemistries?

What kind of sociopath makes phone calls

Why would a parking lot need to be “torn up” to add a power outlet
