  • McDonald’s will stop testing AI to take drive-thru orders, for now

  • Checking in from Iowa and I have the option here too when I hit the customize button. I do have to scroll down a bit?

    You might try uninstalling and reinstalling. If on android, clear your settings before the uninstall. The mcdee app does tend to be kind of unpredictable.

    If that doesn't work, send an email to them. I actually did email on some problem I had and they responded pretty quick with a temp workaround and fixed it later.

  • Everything Apple iOS 18 Will Do, Android Already Does

  • That's pretty cool, I assumed they needed additional hardware. Thanks.

  • And? How many android devices can you name that actually support satellite messaging today? When the feature DOES come on the android side, I imagine it is going to probably be flagship devices as well. Seems to be a silly thing to call Apple out for.

  • LLM is AI correct? If my phone is going to do AI at all, I prefer it be done on device for sure. For privacy reasons if nothing else. But it's not anything I've really looked into. I have the S24 and the only AI feature I use is the Circle to search... which I don't consider to be AI.

  • Satellite messaging is already available in Android 15 beta

    Perhaps in software, but I don't think there is a current phone that has the hardware to take advantage. For now, this is essentially an Apple only feature. It's a pretty good bet we are going to see some flagships released with it in the next year though.

  • Is Your Driving Being Secretly Scored? The insurance industry, hungry for insights into how people drive, has turned to automakers and smartphone apps like Life360.

    Jump

  • Yes. Not like I was slamming on my brakes, but it was a harder brake than normal. It was pretty sensitive imo, but think they are trying to detect people that are driving too closely to the person in front of them.

  • I had one and it definitely beeped if the light turned yellow and I stopped rather than blowing through a red light. It was a frustrating experience because it would happen even when driving a safe speed. You don't get dinged unless you have too many of them, but I suspect in a busy city with stop and go traffic it could be tough. I did end up. With the maximum discount though so it didn't end up being a big deal.

    Trump tells rally-goers not to die in Vegas heat: ‘I don’t care about you’

  • Oh man, I hate trump but it's pretty obviously a joke.

  • Well, it covered every point from the article. So that's good.

  • Like, Firefox really isn't noticeably slower than other browsers in the vast majority of situations.

    I imagine there is a bigger difference on older phones though. An imperceptable difference could easily become unbearable when the phone is a little outdated. I experience it at work using a slightly older PC on Windows 10.

  • ICQ, One of the Oldest Instant Messengers, Is Shutting Down

    Jump

  • I just logged into mine. It asks for your phone number, but if you hit cancel it will let you in. I can't believe I remembered my number. Crazy.

  • The decline of Intel..

    Jump

  • Maybe. In the past they have always been able to rely on their dominance in the PC market. With consumers shifting away from this, I don't think it's so straight forward and in other emerging markets like AI they are way behind.

    At least they are finally putting actual money into R&D. This article was a really good read. Will be interesting to see how and if Intels investments pay off.

  • Funny you should mention that

    Why an engineer would use a "learning algorithm" rather than just use a "never crush something" is beyond me. So poorly designed.

  • Android's new anti-theft features

    Jump

  • If you have a Samsung phone you can try something similar now called secure folder. Search in your options to create. Then you can install apps in there and all the apps and data are sandboxed from the rest of your phone. You can't access the data from the main phone and apps in the secure folder don't have access to your main phone.

    I have one setup for my banking app and other apps I would prefer to be private. Have to enter a password to get access to that area and it is encrypted when locked. It works real well.

  • Help needed choosing a good pair of noise cancelling earphones

    Jump

  • I got the xm5 after I lost my 4's and the differences aren't that great. The bass seemed better on the 4's too.

  • Help needed choosing a good pair of noise cancelling earphones

    Jump

  • Unfortunately, I have both the headphones and the ear buds and I think the cans isolate noise better than the buds. It could be a problem due to a bad fit though. With the buds I could not get a decent fit with the foam tips so ended up getting some tips on Amazon so I lose a little noise isolation there. The size of the buds for the xm5 isn't the greatest for me either so THAT doesn't help - I get a little bit of slipping while eating for example. All said, I still think the xm5 does OKAY, but my link buds surpass it due to a better fit.

    The bose might have an overall edge imo going by their reputation of having a good and comfortable fit. My brother has a pair and says they fit real well. I just can't do the bose because the case is too large for me to carry in my pockets (even the newest model is rather large. The last generation was ridiculous - Bose is kind of crazy with their cases).

    I would make sure you buy a pair from a store with a good return policy so if the fit does not work well for you you can exchange for something else. Everyone's ears are different so there is no way to say how it will fit for you till you try them on.

  • Paid sick leave sticks after many pandemic protections vanish

    Jump

  • The National Federation of Independent Business has opposed mandatory sick leave rules at the state level, arguing that workplaces should have the flexibility to work something out with their employees when they get sick.

    What a dishonest statement. They know the burden put on the employee and that a great many of them are forcing themselves to work sick because they don't really have the option. If employers were flexible with the employees we wouldn't be in this position.

    The group said the cost of paying workers for time off, extra paperwork, and lost productivity burdens small employers.

    Oh yes, let's not treat a person with decency because God forbid there is some extra paperwork to fill out.

  • Kagi silently removed all references to Google's index from their website

    Jump

  • This is disappointing. Due to Kagi requiring an account and billing I would say transparency should be vitally important for a them since privacy concerns are going to be a large reason a lot of people are looking to switch from Google in the first place. It's always a concern brought up when search alternatives are discussed in forums and the "just trust me BRO" is going to start to ring kind of hollow if they play little games like this.
