lmfao no, corporate greed and “shareholder value” is ruining both AI and reddit (and pretty much everything else) for everyone.

amazing! i’d love to see a picture if you’ve got one!

and if you refuse to work?

lmao what happens of you don’t pay?

absolutely reasonable, and may be a good excuse to learn kintsugi, if you still have the pieces.

was just going to say this. anyone who thinks this is new didn’t pay attention in history class, or that history class conveniently glossed over or romanticized our many, many atrocities.

Gator on a traitor!

I want a watch that does all of the things a laptop and a cell phone could through peripheral devices that connect to the watch wirelessly and operate as things like laptops, phones, televisions, w/e else. The “phone” part is just a touchscreen that operates off of the watch. Same for the “laptop”; just a screen and keyboard that connects to the watch. These things do not /cannot operate without the watch being present, and don’t store any data themselves. Any screen or laptop can connect to any watch (with a secure pairing), meaning screens can be loaned and shared between watch owners without the same fears one might have letting someone else borrow, or even hold your phone.

I guess I don’t want less devices. Just a consolidation of all my computational power (save for servers, i guess) into one portable, connectable (castable?) device. No more carrying around my cell phone and laptop if everything is on my wrist and I can just use any cheap / borrowed/ community “laptop” or “phone” wherever I go and still access everything I need.

Are you really on Lemmy to advertise?

Fuck off.

I’m no programmer (not a good one, anyway) but it seems to me that the beeps are all in the same tone, or very similar. I wonder if one could write a program that listens for that tone and simply mutes it. Could be setup as a Firefox extension or something.

My next phone will run Linux, even if it is inconvenient.

As soon as this phone is paid off, I’ll be changing from Google Fi as well. Which sucks because it’s hella cheap.
