  • Banana Republic? I wasn't even aware that brand was still around but I'm really confused how that relates to anything... What did I miss? Guessing they supported Trump?

  • I have a Google doorbell and it's night vision is terrible. I've taken the garbage to the curb during the winter when it's the darkest and the doorbell didn't register anything not the noise not the motion. Even knowing what I was looking for I barely show up in the video feed, it looks like a ghost.

  • Yep, just looking at it screams thin client. This will have just enough for networking (wifi/bluetooth), running three monitors (no gaming), some 3.5mm audio, and usb 2.0. If it's business focues, probably some remote mgmt stuff, and maybe a default VPN client.

  • Imo, could do with a bit of beans. But regardless looks good.

  • Burger King will use AI to check if employees say ‘please’ and ‘thank you’

  • I already wasn't eating BK. And this makes me want to even less. The fake/forced "friendliness" I personally find off-putting. It's like Chick-fil-a they have to say "my pleasure". Just some force creepy cult vibes (for some very mediocre food). Idk, maybe it's me, but knowing someone is being micro-enslaved (sorry, "managed") just rubs me the very wrong way.

    Plus side, my hatred for AI and all these places forcing it on customers, I've spent WAY less money eating out and have been eating way better. So silver lining I suppose.

  • Yep, whole lot of people echo what they read in they're social media echo chambers. Feelings and opinions thrown around like they are facts.

    Granted this problem has always existed but I believe the overuse of the internet and social media has made it worse.

    Prime example, bunch my friends who would definitely be Democrat voters (just bring it up as they are very much not maga supporters), despite me bringing up research showing the very clear negative side effects that Facebook had on people even 10+ years ago... Every last one of them ignored it and each one thought they were the exception.

  • There are a bunch of lithium ion chemistries that have come to market more recently

    Like what? [Citation required]

    If you think rechargeable battery R&D from 10 years ago isn’t making it into mass produced products today, you’re just not paying attention.

    Please provide examples.

    I mean, as much as a person who doesn't work in research and development of energy storage, or work in industries directly related to it, I personally feel I've kept up. The day Donut Labs announced their battery I was watching review videos about it, and I want to believe, but until I see it for purchase, I'm not going to call it a win.

  • I mean, I love how it's programmed YOU should feel ashamed. Like, ghost being some peeping-tom voyeurs... I think is the real problem. Like, granny not adverting her eyes is really not a me problem. Catholics really got start teaching "When you dead, please stop doing creepy things"

  • Na, I'm looking at the RAY-BAN META GLASSES and they look strait out of some 1970s/1980s "I work at NASA/IBM" movie. Still dorky.

  • Weird, I didn't know Lithium-Ion batteries were still in the lab. I thought for sure we were using those already. I thought the batteries in the labs were various solid-state batteries like graphene or like this sodium-ion battery, where there's been a rise in patents around it but not a lot delivered

  • I wanna make sure I got this right. They used $20,000 in fees in 2 weeks to make a compiler? Also, to what end? Like what's the expected ROI on that?
