Echo Dot

The way I look at it, I know it’s probably going to end up being shit in the end, but it’ll be a few years until that happens, and it will be fun in the meantime.

Just because you know I’ll have to leave at some point doesn’t mean that you don’t enjoy the party while it lasts

The same happened when everyone moved over from Dig to Reddit back in the day. It’s really annoying for like 2 weeks with everyone talking about it, and then it calmed down.

I’ve noticed quite a lot of devs are moving over to blue sky. I feel like there’s some blog post I’ve missed or something which everyone has paid attention to. Why are they doing it now? Twitter has being shit for ages.

The f is silent

Unless you have a custom privacy build of Android.

That’s kind of my thing really about Android yeah sure the basic model probably tracks you up the wazoo but at least you can work around it.

US food stand has been what they are, we can’t rule out that it’s not the same product.

The onion is a satirical takes on the news. Infowars is just utter nonsense.

Infowars could claim that immigrants are using teleporters to enter the country and its readership would believe it.

A good example of this is their insistence on using the comma, to mean “the”, “of” or “and”, leading to some bizarre headlines.

Midland, Baker, Roz, Mazda, convicted, fraud

Which despite the fact it just sounds like a list of random words, is in fact a valid sentence. Or at least it represents one.

There’s a program called “Everything” which is basically just a functional version of Windows search. It’s one of those programs that really should be integrated into the OS but isn’t. The other one being Fences.

I want to be able to label chats. I don’t know who Sammy Gupta is, I know we must have spoken to them at some point but it was 2 years ago and I don’t remember who they are, what their role or responsibility is, or anything about them.

Your laptop caught fire while running vs code it had nothing to do with it, it doesn’t have a “burn my laptop” function.

Doesn’t the electric F-150 meet all those demands?

I can’t get one as they are not sold here but from the specs they look like exactly what you’d want. I assume since you mentioned it you can buy them where you are.

I’m pretty sure the EU banned them on the basis that they are death traps for their drivers, other road uses, and pedestrians alike.

Why don’t they just fix it and then release it rather than releasing it for 15 minutes and then recalling it again?

It’s missing basic features. The stuff that any normal human would assume it can do it just can’t do. It’s absolutely terrible if you use it in a large organization where you have to speak to multiple different people.

For one-on-one conversations I guess it’s okay but the moment you try and get anything more complicated than that going on it becomes a nightmare.

VS Code. That’s it though.

Slack

I do not believe anyone at Microsoft actually uses it because if they did there’s no way in hell that they would have let it be that bad.

It literally keeps every single conversation you’ve ever had in a big long list on the left, with absolutely no way to organize it, categorize it, order it, or in any way manage it other than deleting history, that’s it you can delete history.

It literally doesn’t even function half the time.

There is absolutely no way in hell that the components inside a router can possibly add up to $500. Beyond a certain point things that are more expensive are just more expensive because they are, not because they represent better quality.

Routers are commodity items, there is absolutely no way that a router costing $500 is demonstrably better than a router costing $100
