Calling names without understanding what’s actually going on is always a great start.

"Smart" seems to just mean internet connected. Basically all TV watching (at least in my experience) has moved to streaming, so you need a connection somewhere. Either TVs have it built in (and show you ads in the output selection menu – I’ve seen this) or you connect something else to it that streams content. The Fire TV stick was a cheap way to do this, Fire TVs are cheap TVs.

I’ve been using an Apple TV and capped the wifi connection of my TV, works great and no ads.

For anyone just reading the headline, it’s already been deleted:

[…] a now-deleted update to the electric carmaker's terms of service said the firm could sue customers for $50,000 or more if they resell during the first year of ownership without first getting written permission from Tesla. The provision seemed designed to deter scalping for a car expected to be available only in limited quantities after CEO Elon Musk's statement that Tesla "dug our own grave with the Cybertruck."

TL;DR: Humane, a tech startup led by former Apple designer Imran Chaudhri, has launched the $700 Ai Pin, a standalone AI device with a "Laser Ink Display" that projects information onto the user's hand. The device, resembling an Apple Watch, features a detachable battery for a "perpetual power system," a 3D depth sensor, Qualcomm Snapdragon chip, Ai Mic for voice interactions, and a 13-megapixel camera. Despite technological achievements, user reactions on MacRumors are mixed, expressing concerns about practicality and functionality. Orders start in the U.S. on November 16, with a $24 monthly subscription for Humane's network. (via ChatGPT)

Not all changes are always for the better. Is there anything that you liked and is now gone?

Just to clarify:

The Pin isn’t always recording or even listening for a wake word, instead requiring you to manually activate it in some way. It has a “Trust Light,” which blinks on whenever the Pin is recording.

Might not make a difference for people as long as it’s pointing at them and could be recording, but you made it sound like it always is. I also don’t find it desirable in any way, especially with that subscription price tag.

I do get the idea of having a different device form factor for an AI device, but I don’t think we’re there yet for what AI can do. Still interesting through.

And what Facebook TV/camera device are you talking about? The Quest 3? Or Ray ban glasses?

Thanks to Sharun and aeharding for implementing this, I’m really loving it :)

That’s an Apple enthusiast if I ever hear of one. Also, since Apple loves showing Apple Watch related rescues, this might be a good candidate for the next keynote.

I’m sure people will disagree, but it has increasingly felt odd to me that Apple was still selling leather accessories with their environmental attitude. I think the new ones look great and I’m happy they’re doing this. There’s still more than enough leather accessories from third parties.

Also, the iPhone leather cases I had wore off quite quickly and looked terrible after a while, so not a big loss there if you ask me.

Oh no, I was really hoping there wasn’t. I get why, but Apple silicon Macs could have a lot more useful apps without that checkbox.

Not saying it’s sustainable (it isn’t), but Amazon has an insanely high turnover rate, partially because new employees bring a fresh perspective and new ideas. It brings new energy and creativity.

Ofc Amazon achieves that turnover rate by treating people like shit and sooner or later they’ll run out of new people.

For me, the most important ones are probably:

  • Noir: dark mode on any website
  • Vinegar: ad block for YouTube + Pip
  • Vidimote: set the default playback speed for all videos (1.5x in my case)

Thanks :) So since Gitlab can be self hosted there wasn’t a way to make PRs from one instance to another?

I wonder what he’s doing with it. I’d guess just regular work with a mac? Or sitting on the couch watching videos?
