Google AI making up recalls that didn’t happen
  • I had to do a presentation for work a few weeks ago. I asked co-pilot to generate me an outline for a presentation on the topic.

    It spat out a heading and a few sections with details on each. It was generic enough, but it gave me the structure I needed to get started.

    I didn’t dare ask it for anything factual.

    Worked a treat.

  • On self-driving, Waymo is playing chess while Tesla plays checkers
  • I wonder if they’ve thought about having an extra long car, like I’m talking fits nearly 100 people. That way instead of having 25 cars self driving, you could have 1 driver.

    You could even put it on tracks so you don’t need to worry about steering. Just go /stop.

    Brb gonna patent something…

  • Streaming services are now getting out of hand
  • I live in the Uk. We used to have a DNS workaround to give us access to the US Netflix. It had everything we wanted. I stopped torrenting and was happy to just stream box sets & movies.

    Roll on 10 years I now have a server with Hetzner that is my own personal Netflix of the high seas. Now rather than giving Netflix / Disney / discovery / Amazon etc a piece of my £35 a month I can curate exactly the shows and movies I want.

    They brought this on themselves and I have zero regret.

  • Florida’s 6-week abortion ban set to take effect this week
  • My wife and I lost our baby at around 10-12 weeks. There was some sort of medical reason my wife needed a d&c due to excessive blood loss.

    Is that life saving treatment also banned under those new laws? If so, it seems even more barbaric.

  • Unsmart a smart TV
  • This comment reminds me of an episode of Pawn Stars when the son bought a very rare and expensive bike to fix up. The dad gave him hell saying if the bike is so rare and expensive, where are they going to get parts!?

  • iOS Updates - Creating additional Home Screen icons

    When I update the app via the settings menu, sometimes (not all times) it’ll create two additional Home Screen icons. One named Voyager and another named vLemmy.

    I have previously had the app on my Home Screen with both these names. I’m guessing it’s weird legacy config from previous installs.

    How exactly does the update feature work? Why, if it’s a web app, do I need to update at all? Doesn’t it just auto update when you load the app?

    What is this witchcraft?
