Well, at least they tell you to not trust it for production in it’s current stage I guess.

They seemed reasonable for people that like fishing and the like (ignoring the huge privacy issues).

Right, know of at least one new grad that was looking for a job for a bit and after some months got hired for some company leveraging LLMs and was mentioning how they were on the companies “top AI users!”, which managers liked. The only thing I could think of was how they would be seen as a scapegoat once the costs started to increase and they could find themselves with the people already looking for a job with more experience due to “AI” lay offs.

Generally accompanied by crickets to questions a out the project and on some cases some large list of vulnerabilities on some projects that got popular enough.

Pretty sure they are starting with older people and you would need to be a Mexican citizen to begin with (?).

It would be somewhat ironic if actual side walks were implemented to support these things on those affluent car dependent neighborhoods and people discovered cars should not be the focus when designing roads.

Agree, Google used to be able to turn a light on and off if you enunciated it very clearly. Used to. Before the Gemini “upgrade”.

I have a 12 year old ICE car @ 172,000 miles and it needs none of those wheel bearings, axels, suspension and HVAC fixes. I would not bundle regular car issues with EV issues since it varies from manufacturer to manufacturer (and even model & year).

The high cost of a battery replacement compared to the cost of the car after a few years is a concern which is seems very relevant though.

And how sarcastic replies with high vote ratios like telling someone to add glue to their pizza so pepperoni doesn’t slide around get through.

Or if your job wipes your browser preferences for whatever misguided security each time it closes and you end up on the default AI BS page at the start of each day.

IDK if accountable is the right word. More like made an example of.

I know in California its common to:

• Revert your car to stock emission standards during the biyearly smog inspection to avoid detection for people dedicated enough
• Pay someone to pass the test without testing the car (not sure if possible on new cars with electronic serial number stuff?)
• Register out of state
• Etc.

You only have to barely look at some of the modifications done in California based YouTube channels to see the cars meet one of the above criteria.

This seems silly in terms of value unless it is bringing in some larger investigation home for large offenders that were already targeted by some other investigation and are being cross referenced.

Edit: for the record, I think this is a waste of money and resources as others have said. Plenty of more meaningful things to do if you actually give a shit about the environment or road laws.

Can’t wait to continue not using them since they suck as a search engine now. At work I go straight to the vendors’ docs and stack overflow since Google offers only regurgitated (mostly outdated) slop nowadays. This is for Java development.

The only product of theirs that still seems functional is maps for now.

Even gmail started half assing search results which only include the past few weeks when you type into the search bar until you physically click the search button. Not sure what idiot thought that was a good idea since it misleads you to think it already did the search when it lists partial results.

I tried to use it about 3 years ago on an apple tv. It tried finding the server on my LAN and never could do it reliably, so I found it more annoying.

With Jellyfin/Swiftfin I do have to punch in the hostname or IP, but it works fine for me and the people in the house. The only annoyance is getting signed out every few months, but I’m not sure of that’s a server or client issue on Apple TV and happens infrequently enough that I have not bothered to look up the reason.

Edit: should have said that I used to use Plex before ~2012-2018, and with more ease that after the updates that dumbed down the interface. Maybe its changed and better now, but no reason for me to care.

Why would they do that when they can make an extra $0.03 this quarter? </s>

If they can literally steer and accelerate the car with a computer, they could surely detect if a door or latch was opened at any point.

Hobbyists have been doing it for cheap using home assistant and cheap sensors, I’m sure a company valued at 100+ Billion could too.

The ones I had you could do it over the air, but some do require access to the pins. Even with soldering experience it is not approachable as bulbs are not packaged to be opened, it is part of why I check for offline or flash compatibility before buying as even the same “model” could have different hardware revisions. No info = avoid.

As an alternative, we have found bulbs that can run tasmota with the MQTT integration to be perhaps the most reliable part of our smart home (as long as the hardware already had a descent CRI). I’ve heard good things about ESP home too, but we have not tried it.

If someone has some light bulbs that are laggy (due to cloud integrations) or a pain to use due to software, its worth checking out of tasmota or esp home can be installed on them to locally pair with something like home assistant. It turned a regretful purchase into a nice addition.

With that said, we don’t buy connected devices any longer without checking internet and cloud requirements first.
