Mostly when driving or not being able to hold the phone. E.g. things that don't work: open my garage door using an action in an app; yesterday I wanted to send an address stored in Gmaps to a contact via messaging app; using controls currently displayed by Android Auto without having to touch the screen.

I always ask myself why Google's Gemini integration still feels that bad despite the company having full control over Android, the Play Store, and the Pixel hardware stack. If one could fully operate any feature on the phone with Gemini (and combine actions into workflows and tasks), that would at least for me be the next evolutionary step in "smart" phones.

TL;DW: Some LG PC monitors (increasing models - also older models) auto install adware via Windows Update as soon as they are connected. Additionally, LG TVs secretly listen in and send pretty much all data back home.

Thanks for the link. I will make sure never to buy any LG product ever again.

Unfortunately, it is almost impossible to buy a TV (65"+) that isn't a "smart" TV (where smart == exfiltrating data and/or showing ads). If anyone has any recommendations, I would be grateful.

I'd choose Cambridge, as I am sure that it provides the opportunity to meet a lot of influential people that you might be glad to have in your contacts later on in life, as well as a masters from there will open a lot of doors alone.

This clearly is a copied response from Claude for something like "Summarize RESULTS.md so that i can use it as a comment for HN."
