They couldn’t pay me to take a Tesla. No resale value.

But they can’t sell fewer than zero! Egads, Tesla has found a way to never shrink their business anymore!

It has sponsored results though.

That era is still alive and well, unfortunately. I had to use a browser without an adblocker the other day and I’m pretty sure it gave me PTSD.

I assumed because of the headline.

Knox just displays a message when you boot the device. You can still install a custom ROM. I’m typing this on a Samsung tablet running LineageOS.

“Assuming it doesn’t draw more power” has got to be the problem here, right? I don’t know much about wireless technology but from a purely physical stabdpoint, faster signals means higher frequencies, which means higher energies, which means more draw from the battery. Yes, shorter active time means less draw, but it’s like that swiss cheese joke:

Swiss cheese has holes.

More cheese = more holes

More holes = less cheese

Therefore,

More cheese = less cheese.

Does Zen Browser even include the AI shit from Mozilla? I know for a fact that neither Waterfox nor Librewolf do.

Surely you jest.

And I would think that before releasing the feature they’d have to get it to stop constantly crashibg cars into large stationary objects.

It’s probably vibe-coded.

Kristi Noem wasn’t working with the government back then.

Another potential reason to buy a PS5 now, I guess?

I also want to know this.

The biggest problem is training all the employees to use the new system. Even if they’re still using the same programs, 80% will complain just because the Start Menu logo is different and the other 20% will complain about something only slightly less irrelevant. Then there’s the IT department having to change their workflows (their complaints are actually valid). Then there’s the downtime during the transition and the sunken costs of whatever support packages the company had hired previously… Yeah, transitioning a company to a new OS is hard.

Why are you assuming that the infotainment center in a car can take over steering at all?

“Cool while it lasts” is still better than “terrible now and forever”. Hopefully Waterfox survives long enough for Ladybird to get off the ground.

Exactly my case as well. There are several Firefox-based browsers better than Firefox itself without the bullshit: Zen, Mercury, LibreWolf, Floorp… All are good options. But the dev behind Waterfox made a public commitment to keep this AI crap out of the browser. That sealed the deal for me.

Now if only I knew the best Android replacement for Firefox…

And what say you of the preliminary evidence suggesting that using AI is making people less capable of thinking for themselves, or people becoming emotionally attached to AI girlfriends/boyfriends, or people who killed themselves either intentionally or accidentally by following LLM advice, or the fact that an overwhelmibg majority of companies who made AI a crucial part of their functioning are losing money or going bankrupt? These are part of the social cost and they all point quite strongly towards it being a very bad idea to rely on AI for anything.

The social and environmental impact of AI training and use is what I’m referring to.
