warranties on those devices can be invalidated due to no longer being within the provider’s control.
I don't know if it's different in the rest of the world. And I don't know if it's changed in the 7 years since I last worked in the industry, but in Canada, you cannot invalidate a hardware warranty based on the software that's installed. If your phone's speaker dies, it's a hardware issue and the warranty is impelled to cover it.
Having to wait a few seconds after peeing to make sure that you're really done peeing becaue sometimes there's that little surprise burp at the end that if you put your dick away too soon will be a spot on your underwear. Not a big one, mind you; you're not peeing yourself. Just that last little straggler running to catch up.
This is what it's supposed to be used for. Things like this are where LLMs are a benefit to society. The ability to "intelligently" process incredible amounts of information fast lends itself to things like this. Or helping Air Traffic controllers do their often hectic jobs, or sifting though the trillions of gigabytes of data that come in from space telescopes looking for anomalies, etc... etc... etc...
THAT would make me excited about AI. More...of....this....
But instead they use it make people even more lazy, and make corporations able to make billions more by firing real humans.
As a Canadian living north of the nut-hatch, I wish I had the money to excercise my dual citizenship and get out of here to Portugal, or anywhere else in the EU.
Trump is exactly stupid enough to think kidnapping Carney would have the same effect as it did on Venuzuela, because he's too ignorant to know that that's not how parliamentary democracies work.
That being said, I would hope that there is a kind of dead-man-switch that will automatically trigger to dump all of our US Debt that we own into the market all at once and do some damage to their economy. Not to mention cutting off their power and closing the borders.
Call me when someone puts GrapheneOS onto old unsold Blackberry Passports. I'd be all over that. I think I'm one of the few who LOVED that design swing-and-a-miss.
"Here's a dumb phone to take with you so that you can leave your smart phone at home and not be constantly addicted to it."
Ummmm....have they forgotten that tablet's exist? Just get a dumb phone and use your tablet when you're at home. You don't need another fucking device.
My smartphone has nothing on it as far as games, social media, etc... It's got calendar, phone, email, etc...
The fun stuff in on my tablet at home.
Why the fuck would I need another device so that I can keep TWO devices at home?
This is just idiot marketing departments trying to wriggle their greedy little dicks into a population that is waking up to their own technology addiction. Here...fight your technology addiction with...more technology.
After literally decades of sending manufacturing overseas, there is NO WAY Trumpistan pivots back to domestic production in time to prevent complete anarchy in its streets.
At this point, every single country should be embargoing the US. It's well past that point that we cut them off from the world stage entirely economically.
Kids, especially toddlers, will leave a smell all over furniture. Cleaning becomes an even worse chore due to feeding time messes and crayons on the wall. They also require potty training in order to not shit themselves and then rub it onto everything lying around the house.
