At least Europe rarely uses WhatsApp for business porposes. It’s worse in Asia and South America where WhatsApp and Facebook are literally the internet, including the enterprise space.
And the reason it’s less the default in the US isn’t because people are so forward-thinking to use signal, but iOS being so uniquitous that people use iMessage.
People everywhere are just somewhat lazy and just don’t know better.
They can’t sell them that cheaply. They don’t have the numbers compared to big brands, and they make a real effort for sustainability which is a huge problem with cheap-ass phones.
93% after 1.5 years works just fine for most users who do not prioritize longevity or sustainability over convenience, unfortunately.
Or the Mobo has on-board graphics… is that still a thing?
Don’t worry. They confirmed it’s highly effective with a third LLM.
It’s mostly to achieve higher IP ratings, and people with expensive phones also tend to pay for things like cloud storage upgrades and expensive bluetooth earbuds.
The people who internalize this would never engage with a chatbot in this way in the first place. To them this is another intelligence they’re conversing with, where you get what you need by following social decorum, and enforcing your will amounts to abuse.
This brings up the question if it’s only about size, or if e.g. dry cereal counts as “uncomfortable”.
The point isn’t to absolve people of making bad decisions, but that doesn’t mean the companies whose tools provide dangerous advice in a friendly and factual manner should be without accountability.
Consider that people in all possible situations and mental health conditions have access to these tools.
Wow. I was so engrossed by the narrative that after one hour of listening to it, I genuinely felt betrayed.
You use your tablet as monitor? How does that work, KDE Connect over WiFi or something?
80% of the utterly ass things that Apple pushes on people are on iPhone. iOS is a purely consumer product, while macOS has a decent chunk of the prosumer market which has a lower tolerance for enshittification.
Yes. The top comment says Google Pay, not Google Play. The sandboxed play API has worked well for me personally.
FYI there’s scripts that will fully activate windows, not via any local modifications to the OS, but via the official Microsoft activation servers.
That’s a new sentiment. Most games try to occupy as much of their players’ time as possible.
Which would that be?
So in short, this question could have been used in all sorts of ways to provide an answer that clarified the commenter’s position.
I mean, in the way it was asked not really. It was explicitly asked, or rather condescendingly demanded, as a simple binary choice stripped of all context.
That’s not how you engage with someone when you actually want to get their take on a complex issue. That’s how you engage if you want to score an easy win for upvotes. And I for one am done with that kinda hostile “debate bro” culture / popularity contest that’s defined many subreddits over the years. It shuts down any chance for an actual exchange. So let’s not act surprised at the result.
Yeah it was asked in bad faith and framed in a manipulative way.
That’s not a good thing and should be called out, no matter if you disagree with the person it was directed at. It’s called integrity.
Same. I salute folks willing to do this, but it doesn’t actually bother me enough to join them even though I’m a regular touchpad user.
