May be they should use with Nest Hub Max because whatever powers that "Assistant" feels like something from 2023-2024 at best. Half of the time it can't understand you, the other half just fails to output information... By subscribing to Gemini AI Pro subscription hoped I would get assistant at the level of Gemini app on my phone and instead got something that Qwen 3.5 9b beats.

Microsoft EEE at its best: gobble up all game studios and then kill them.

Microsoft needs to be split, it should been split years ago, but now more than ever.

Can I also have an option to block/disable all YouTube Shorts on AppleTV and Samsung TV apps? Shorts is the biggest disservice to civilization - promoting time-wasting behaviours.

Also, promoting 10-20 minute videos with 2-5 minutes of content is also wasteful. Most videos are extended to 10-20 minutes just to be recommended by YouTube.

Finally, videos with AI voice, which I hope can be easily detected, need to have a label clearly visible and I want to have preferences to hide those completely.

Seems that if you are into photography you still have to wait until M4 Max based Studio is out and wait out Mac Mini Pro. 2x graphics performance will accelerate many GPU-based tasks in tools like Topaz Photo AI, Lightroom and Photoshop, Luminar, etc.

Reading this on 2017 iMac 27" - is the first 5k iMac that couldn't be used as a monitor after the computer inside is irrelevant. I hope EU will push for some law that requires all AIO computers to work in monitor-only mode if internal hardware is no longer good enough or no longer supported by software updates. I love the 5k screen on this iMac but the CPU is too old for photo or video editing as software got so much slower over the years. I could have used this screen for many more years, but now it will hit landfill... Apple is only "green" in their presentations - in reality they care more about inifite sales only.

Netflix has a problem that the front page is now filled with "B-rated" rather than "A-rated" content for more money than before. The amount of content that they spent money on in the past is hardly discoverable, genre search is barely exposed in the interface. You have to rely on 3rd party sites to find links to category selections, say Epic movies based on true events... good luck finding what they have in this category in the AppleTV or Roku apps. They also don't allow to exclude content that one is not interested in, I want no superheroes, no animated stuff, no dei, etc - and yet every time I launch the app it is there front and center and I just hate this. And if I watched 2 WW2 movies it doesn't mean that's the only thing I'm interested in in the recommended section. I want to exclude producing studios as well, like Vox, let me tell Netflix what I don't like.

So if you start looking outside of their interface - why then not just finish and get the movie elsewhere?

Finally, pricing is not flexible, what if I want infrequent 4k UHD streaming on a single device - why do I pay for 4 streams as if I'm streaming 24/7? At this point, I'm better off with Netflix Pay Per View (if this was offered). I keep paying for this service just because I can and just because I might watch something - but I find it more and more frustrating to watch something...

Tax laws as well as other laws, need to have a requirement to be rewritten from scratch and re-approved every 10 years or so, such that no law or regulation is complex enough that an elected official can't describe it in full before voting on it.

Would love to see one day AI used to read annotated text with multiple voices, so each person in a novel gets his/her voice and also narrative voice. Would be epic and actually better than most audio books read by a single person attempting to pretend to speak in different voices.

Was always frustrated that Kindle was barred from reading books, it is such a natural progression of capabilities. Leave up to the buyer to decide if they want to pay for the person, but default TTS should be allowed for all books, such that if I read book at home and then can continue listening during a walk.

I hope this case will fail and establish a good precedent for all future AI litigations and may be even prevent new ones. Your code is open source - irregardless of license, one might read it as a text book and then remember or even copy snippets and re-use this somewhere else unrelated to the original application. If you don't like this, don't make your code open source. This was happening and is happening independent of any license all over the world by majority of developers. What Copilot and similar tools did was to make those snippets accessible for extrapolation in new applications.

If these folks win - we again throw progress under the bus.

Was following CNN on Twitter in 2008, out of an old habit mostly. Then it was only breaking news feed, and they were posting mostly relevant things. One day they posted something about Britney Spears there and then again. Stopped either watching or following CNN from that point on. Lots of good news sites were still at that time like BBC (which took the same path as CNN in later years) and still follow Reuters and Al Jazeera.

Really hope CNN one day will become a news source, like CNN International that is a joy to watch when traveling outside of the USA and Canada (at least it was the last time I watched a few years ago). Will follow CNN once Harry and Meghan or some pop stars will not appear in the headlines for at least a year.

I thank Go team, that the major version was not increased. You can't imagine how much wider adoption of generics will be as compared if Go went to version 2.0 There are thousands of under-educated and overly-cautious software development managers who would prevent their teams from upgrading to a major version of Go until it is "proven". When it comes to developers there are two types who read changelogs and would know their tool well and take advantage of every small change in each minor version and then there are those who are there for the money, they will find out about a new feature only if manager instructs them to use it.

Does anyone know if Pfizer CEO and all of his relatives (including children) have 3-4 dozes of the vaccine? And also all members of the board of directors and C* suits and their relatives? Is there any verifiable documentation for this somewhere?

I know about the state of Fitbit, but I would have preferred any other company over Google to buy them, including Samsung or Amazon.
