They only spy on you most of the time!

lol, just kidding, that part doesn’t turn off

I work at a full MacBook shop and literally nobody uses xcode 🤷‍♂️ weird reason to be against it

Why would they need to listen? That’s a lot of processing power

But… why would they care? It’s your energy bill, not theirs.

It definitely totally happens every single day but nobody ever manages to get a piece of hard evidence.

Are you just lazy and in denial? There is traffic sent from both Alexa and Google Home every time it detects something that it considers speech, regardless of whether the wake word was detected. This is not debatable, set up your own tests.

I bounced off when he described “the one piece nobody had thought of” for the third time without actually saying which piece. Fucking keep-watching-bait bullshit

It’s not, but the people who are asking are often not tech-savvy, and any amount of self-hosting will be hard for them

The heavy-handedness of that absolutely terrifies me, but at least it asks for confirmation first.

alias fuck='sudo !!' is probably the best thing I’ve ever added to my profile

Basic assumptions are why the Challenger exploded. Hopefully nobody ever hires you as an engineer.

lol

Every time you say “obviously” to an assumption, someone else gets the job.

It wasn’t intuitive before, either, without making an absolute ton of horrible assumptions.

• Are the wires even connected?
• Does only one switch control the light?
• Did the light start on or off?
• Is the light bulb in arm’s reach?
• Can I bring my friend and just yell to each other?
• Can I just leave the door open and see whether it turns on or not?
• It says I’m allowed to visit the bulb room once but never actually mentions the switch room - do I start there? Can I go back after visiting the bulb room?
• And, as you said, what type of bulb is it?

Anyone who doesn’t explore the assumptions should probably fail that particular interview question.

Yeah, you listed lots of the valid reasons that I was talking about. There’s no need to dilute your argument with idiots like this

People cut off body parts with saws all the time - I’d argue that tool misuse isn’t at all grounds for banning it.

There are plenty of completely valid reasons to hate AI. Stupid people using it poorly just isn’t really one of them 🤷‍♂️

People can safely use Windows 10 online for the next decade as long as they follow basic online safety.

This is a fucking braindead take. A few months, a year, maaaybe? But a decade? No chance in hell.

I still have a FAT32 external drive that this (very) rarely still bites me 😫 there’s nothing important on it, so I’ve been lazy

It’s so much worse than it was. AIs have absolutely murdered entry-level positions

Yeah, mostly agreed. In my experience so far, an experienced dev that’s really putting time into their setup can greatly accelerate their output with these tools, while an inexperienced dev will end up taking way longer (and they’ll understand less) than it would have if they worked normally

Did plex do something again

If everyone on your team of 6 is 20% faster, you don’t necessarily need the 6th person. Maybe you put that towards more work, but that’s not very American, these days. Cut costs, cash out, fuck 'em

I’ll be honest, I thought Plex Pass was always a requirement for this 😅
