And no-one would be accountable

Please hit Meta with another fine, preferably one that can't be paid off in instalments

Oh, because they're worthless on their own? Noooo, that can't be

Without a disc drive as well. Nah, I'm good

Might as well make myself useful and book an appointment for next week or so...

I hope it'll be brutal for Dumpy

At least be a bit more creative, jfc

I like the name Norbert. Old Germanic name meaning "bright north"; really not that common any more unfortunately.

Hey, I had that problem before I moved to Australia! Now I just need to avoid Adelaide :/

[...] OpenAI is developing a screen-less smart speaker engineered by famed Apple designer Jony Ive.

Does anyone actually think that Jony Ive is a good designer? His style has always been very dystopian and soulless to me. I guess that fits with OpenAI's new marketing approach, though.

I am Proto! Security is my moto!

Cut the kids in half

Pocket was always among the first things I disabled when setting up Firefox and apparently, I wasn't the only one doing that.... I'm sure it had its users but I always found normal bookmarks to be more convenient.

Never even heard of Fakespot, though.

Wow, thanks Sony. Still being cunts about copyright I see; nothing has changed since the SecuROM/XCP days...

It's about time the electronics industry as a whole realises that innovation for the sake of innovation is rarely a good thing

What was even the point of this; what was the intended use case?

I'm serious, I have no idea who this is for. Other than to show people that their AI can badly superimpose pictures of Godzilla over maps.

Who green lit this? I really hope that person gets fired immediately.

The lack of any visual link to ASUS isn't even the biggest problem for me; it's that ASUS rolls out a program that (presumably) puts itself in autostart by default and just pops up without prompt at all.

Edit: There's a fucking setting in the BIOS to auto-install ASUS' bullshit software? And it's enabled by default.... jesus fucking christ

as well as a fee of €95 ($105) for 24 months of access

Ah, there it is. The death subscription.

In two years time Apple, and every other smartphone manufacturer on the EU market for that matter, will be forced to make the battery user replaceable and that one will most likely benefit everyone; unless Apple wants to release two versions of every iPhone to comply with EU regulations which they won't.

I really hope the AI bubble pops soon and takes at least some of these stupid companies with it. They've been operating at a GIANT loss for years at this point, how much longer will this go on?
