These news articles support my idea that Google doesn’t care re privacy. I’ve been using a Samsung phone, which has Android. Android has permissions re cam, location, 🎙 and others, but I won’t be :o if Google can bypass all the privacy features if it wants my data.

We mustn’t enter any private info in a large language model (llm) in the 1st place. The conversations are probably used to train ai models.
There should be 2 disclaimers in all llm –
The llm’s responses aren’t always based on facts. It can say wrong info sometimes.
Users mustn’t enter any private info in the llm.
My Samsung a70 doesn’t get major software updates anymore. I’m OK with it. I’ll use this as long as possible.
1 of the 👍 points that were brought up was artificial gatekeeping. Many techies know it but I guess many non-techies don’t know it. Phone makers intentionally not putting the newest features on the old phones to boost the newest phones’ sales should be widely known. I wonder what the public opinion will be.
I like that the writer thought re climate change. I think it’s been 1 of the biggest global issues for a long time. I hope there’ll be increasing use of sustainable energy for not just data centers but the whole tech world in the coming years.
I think a digital waiter doesn’t need a rendered human face. We have food ordering kiosks. Those aren’t ai. I think those suffice. A self-checkout grocer kiosk doesn’t need a face too.
I think “client help” is where ai can at least aid. Imagine a firm who’s been operating for decades and encountered so many kinds of client complaints. It can feed all those data to a large language model. With that model responding to most of the client complaints, the firm can reduce the number of their client support people. The model will pass the complaints that are so complex or that it doesn’t know how to address to the client support people. The model will handle the easy and medium complaints; the client support people will handle the rest.
Idk whether the government or the public should stop ai from taking human jobs or let it. I’m torn. Optimistically, workers can find new jobs. But we should imagine that at least 1 human will be fired and can’t find a new job. He’ll be jobless for months. He’ll have an epic headache as he can’t pay next month’s bills.

Yes, paper bills if you’re so private. To avoid spyware, use a phone that has a removable 🔋, like the Fairphone 5. Connect the 🔋 only when you must use the phone.
In my nation, Apple pay and Google pay aren’t famous. The famous way to pay with a phone is using a qr code. It’s frictionless too. Paper bills are still famous here too. I think my spending behavior is the same whether I use paper bills, my phone or my debit card. Re using my phone or my debit card to pay, I <3 not having to deal with change.
There’ll probably be no more diskette makers in the future, so the train operator should stop using diskettes. I did a quick googling.
In January 2024, Japan announced it will no longer require floppy-disk copies of government submissions.
I did a quick search on amazon.com too. You can buy diskettes there.
I’m assuming the folks doing the upgrade know what they’re doing. Train operation is key, so to be sure, they may need to slowly move away from diskettes and slowly integrate ssds or whatever the replacement will be.
Is Yahoo news legit? I go to bbc.com for world news.
Were they posting things re laws related to gender? If yes, maybe Instagram treated those as political and maybe those content didn’t reach many folks – due to the limit setting discussed in the article.
When I think of Instagram, I think of selfies, food pics, landscapes, pet pics and other pretty pics.
Political feuds online can be nasty right? There are long toxic conversations. Folks spend much time arguing on the platform. Meta likes that long session. But it seems Meta is promoting positivity? Seems Meta wants a long positive session.
Duckduckgo –
We also maintain our own crawler (DuckDuckBot) and many indexes to support our results. Of course, we have more traditional links and images in our search results too, which we largely source from Bing. Our focus is synthesizing all these sources to create a superior search experience.
I use Duckduckgo for pic searches. I can easily go to the link of the pic. On the other hand, Google takes me to the site containing the pic.
Another concern of mine re Google is –
Say I’m searching re a car. The search results are riddled with carmechanic.com, carexpert.com, moderncar.com, carstoday.com and others. Idk if those are legit. There’s been a lot of misinformation on the Net so I’ve been careful.
Chrome is worse now? What did you experience?
My main browser is Firefox. My secondary is Chrome. I’m still :) with Chrome as a secondary.
👍 article.
Electric vehicles are 👍 if the energy used to charge the 🔋 is from renewable sources. If most of the energy used for charging is from fossil fuels, wide electric vehicle adoption doesn’t aid much in resolving climate change.
A long time ago Veritasium said that vehicle making had a big environmental impact, so it was eco-friendly to use your old vehicle as long as possible. I did a quick search and didn’t find any relevant info. I asked Bing copilot and didn’t get a definite answer. But the joy that a new electric vehicle brings is sure. I may lean on buying a new 1.
I learned that Wikipedia has a “reliable sources” table thanks to this. I’ll check it out.
I can’t recall a time when I went to Cnet to read re tech. I get tech stuff from Youtube and Verge.
The Wikipedia folks didn’t demote Cnet after 1 week of discussion. Not 1 month. Not 6 months. Were they giving Cnet time to change for the better?
This reminds me of Blu-ray and streaming. Movie and series studios seem to prefer streaming over Blu-ray. If I’ll stream a movie, I won’t own it. On the other hand, if I’ll buy a Blu-ray disc, I’ll own it.
Lately I bought a Buffalo 1-terabyte external ssd. It’ll be my backup ssd. The formats of my files are common so I don’t have an issue opening those.
Obviously they didn’t do a Wi-fi intensity study.
About 10 years ago, my usb drive was Fat32 by default. I changed it to Ntfs due to Fat32’s 4-GB cap, which I’ve disliked. I’m still using Ntfs.
