It looks pretty ig

I’ll just use Safari

Makes me feel slightly better to know I’m not the only one living in a country (United States) where foreign bought phones are a hit or miss on the networks. wish they could create a better system though.

Well, I’m just not going to agree with the LLM then

Part of what I’ve hoped about Gemini is that Google would actually take advantage of its Cloud infrastructure and build Gemini in a way that makes it truly cross-platform compared to the Google Assistant with a consistent set of features across the web, the speaker, and anywhere else they choose to cram Gemini into.

Instead they choose to channel everything through WhatsApps Android app.

I don’t want more app stores I just want something like a cross platform version of obtainium

The ministries want you to think not, but they probably can.

I use Bing. Partly because it’s the only real option if you want to search from the windows start menu. But also because I do like how it presents info a bit better, and also like its knowledge graph a little better than the one Google has.

That being said, the engine does have a lot of issues with relevancy. And its image search is almost unusable. So I often find myself needing to go to. Other than that, I’m fine with changing it to my default across everything I own. I just wish MS would fix its most blatant issues instead of bullying old people into using it.

Bing images is simply terrible

It’s like Google and starts off by showing you the most relevant answer you wanted through an info card. But then it goes on longer and longer under things that are less and less relevant.

Like, one of their examples is “What is a spaghetti western?”, And it starts with the answer you were probably looking for

A subgenre of western films produced by Italian filmmakers

But then it just starts going on and on with increasingly less relevant things like “History and origins”, “Best and most influential movies”, and then “Music and Soundtracks” before then getting the actual search results.

It’s literally designed to keep you from leaving the site. And all the sources seem to require quite a few clicks on mobile.

Consumer disapproval of AI use in customer service is unlikely to keep firms from deploying the technology as the cost savings are just too great

So much for the market determining what goes

Many people now use ChatGPT like they might use Google: to ask important questions, sort through issues, and so on. Often, sensitive personal data could be shared in those conversations.

Okay but what about app compatibility?

Our router doesn’t support it (it’s the V2 model)

Unfortunately, it’s not so easy or useful if you don’t have a powerful machine to host it with

I frankly wouldn’t care at all had MS not truncate your home folder to 5 characters when using a Ms account and also didn’t make using remote desktop impossible when enabling a passwordless account.

These are so easy to root, I dont know why not everybody does it.

Probably because not everyone has a valid reason to root. What about people who use GrapheneOS? Rooting does involve valid security risks that doesn’t make it suitable for every single person.
