Given the context of what I personally think about the content, the AI is much more accurate than that. (Is it any wonder why people fall in love with bots that always agree with them?)
We should use lead pipes because they are made from naturally occurring lead. Synthetic PEX pipes have to go because: synthetic.
I'd be happier if they stopped using percentages. When percentage points don't consume close to an equal amount of time, don't use them. It's just complete nonsense at that point. It doesn't give the user any useful…
> companies need to attract customers - i.e. make their lives better. Companies need to sell the *idea* of making lives better. They don't actually have to make a customer's life better and many don't despite selling…
FBI: See the problem we face is finding a needle in a haystack. Morons in congress: Oh, we're really sorry to hear that, what should we do? FBI: Give us more hay for the stack.
Hostility, it turns out is "engagement" which is profitable. We went from people organically paring themselves to algorithms steering people towards "engaging" encounters. Where we used to say "don't feed the trolls" we…
Altering the deal is SOP where law permits it. Read any privacy policy or user "agreement" and note that they all have "Darth Vader" clauses where they get to alter the deal when ever it suits them. It's even your job…
Despite the gutting of desktop usability for the sake of being mobile compatible, many environments still have zero presence on mobile. Can I PLEASE have my fucking scrollbar back now? I once spent a lot of my time and…
Depends on what you mean by "stability." The number of crashes is down but UI churn seems like it's at an all time high. Settings reversion is a constant peeve. Seriously, how many times to I have to set the height of…

That's not been my experience with the original Pis. We ended up mounting cards as read only because they wouldn't last otherwise. Syslog and various other processes, even with light IO would render the cards useless…
I'm not surprised Experian's security is shit. Equafax proved that there are basically no consequences. Here's some basic free credit monitoring that you probably already had for free.
Clicking a button from the tool bar that shows a popup of some type (e.g. color chooser) doesn't display the popup. I'm not asking for an exotic behavior. No it's not NVIDIA's fault because I have no such hardware.

It won't run on perfectly fine hardware which manufactures EOL practically as it leaves the conveyor belt. They'd like the solution to everything be to buy a new one. So when Microsoft left it to manufactures to decide…
I went with an Intel 7260HMW BN for $20. Dual band with Bluetooth 4.0. USB 3 can trash your WiFi/BT spectrum as many device manufactures provide inadequate shielding. I got some foil tape and carefully lined the inside…
So few buy used hardware. I got a used Dell laptop and the WiFi card was shit. Dell doesn't always make the right call but because WiFi card was a replaceable PCIe card, I was able to get more life out of the machine.…

Yeah it's kind of weird that people want things to work as well as they do in Xorg. While I completely understand that it works very well for you, the "for you" doesn't actually make it so for me. While I understand…

I thought vitamin D supplements were lacking efficacy in studies and therefore we need to get sunlight. I'm more excited about them reactivating some dormant genetic code that would make tomato spicy like their…
Also SMS not nearly reliable enough. You should have alternatives for that reason alone. My cell carrier was blocking many SMS verification messages for a good two months. It caused me all kinds of problems when my…
