That's just bullshit. You can check for how many uses a usbc plug was designed and tested for.

So apparently Mark Suckerburg reacted to it and 3000 other people.

Anyway he should probably go to Google for this. They look way more advanced than all others.

And not sure how much money he has but there should be ml involved and that costs a pretty penny

I would have said that the companies who would most benefit of this is also be the company who should not outsource this.

Yeah as long as gcp doesn't has a clear budget protection, I will not add my credit card to it as a private person.

I was talking about voice assistant in it's current context.

Why would that be hard? Distributing a limited amount of static content around the world sounds reasonable easy to me.

Our subway is good. I'm using it every day and just because one train is canceled doesn't mean anything because 10 minutes later the next one comes

It's a user interface shift.

A smartphone is an complex always on device with its own internet connection, microphone, GPS and camera.

We are not trading low risk UI with high risk UI. We switch or extend it to nodevice/voice control.

And I personally find it very impressive and subtile.

It just makes sense to use it in your kitchen, bedroom or on the Couch.

It is the same with Philips hue. Do I need it? No. Is it worth to me? Every penny. Why? Because it's a completely new level. Now you can combine lamps which had not one switch like your ceiling lights with a standlamp in the corner and you put your ligjtswitches where you actually are using them.

That was never possible before.and it's great for creating lightsettings. I'm using different lightsettings constantly.

For example our light is much less bright when I go to the toilet at night and it is motion detection based which I really love for our floor.

There is always context and interpretation and what you think that the Autor ist missing is actually you who missed it.

That's just utterly wrong.

I have Alexa's and one Google home at home.

We now have cheap and good enough multiroom audio, voice controlled. It's used daily

We use very regular the weather forecast and timer and control our lights with it as well.

The future is here but it will probably go more in direction of offline assistance.

The integration in Philips hue, with more av receiver etc. Will just become even better.

I'm right now notperfectly happy about the streaming situation but it is much better then ever before.

I don't cancel Netflix because I don't mind anymore. There have and still are a few really good shows which would have cost me much more money what Netflix costs me.

Keep the hot stuff on a nvme.

Your archive on bigger drives next to it. Problem solved.

If that's not enough use zfs with a nvme cache and add a few more sticks of ram I to it.
