I always use virtual cards for any subscriptions these days. If it takes more than a couple clicks to cancel a service, I just delete the virtual card instead.
Yea, sure. They're unwilling "active users" because they accidentally click on some copilot garbage that's been shoved into every inch of Windows. While I see plenty of folks using various AI tools, none of those tools are copilot.
100%. Work in IT, but have worked on cars as a hobby most of my life too. I was messing around trying to figure out how to disable telemetry at a hardware level on mine, so I pulled the fuse for the telemetry module to see what would happen. It bricked the entire vehicle.
The 90s were peak. Reliability and low maintenance of electronic fuel injection, but would keep on running if any of the ancillary crap failed.
I think it is useful with a constrained dataset. Like using it to summarize things about a dataset, or dumping documents into it and asked getting info about it (like Gemini in Google Drive).
It is not useful for general question using the whole-ass internet as a dataset.
Also I wish it was called something other than AI...it's just a word guesser FFS.
I'm probably being too optimistic, but they've gotta have a switch in dev settings to disable this check, right? I really hope they're not truly, full stop, not allowing you to side load apps that don't meet this stupid requirement.
FFS they just had that awful Pixel 10 launch event where they talked about Android being open and what not.
Game Boy Advance with a Pokemon Sapphire cartridge that I don't think has been removed in over a decade. Every time I turn it on I always wonder how I spent so many hours staring at a screen with no backlight.
Fallout. I like the premise and I'll watch other people play it, but I just cannot get into the mechanics of that franchise. Something about VATS is just not enjoyable to me.
Maybe if you didn't split settings into that half-baked settings app, then leave control panel in place with the remaining settings, but make control panel increasingly difficult to get to, we wouldn't need a stupid AI agent to help us change settings.

They're still around? I thought they'd long went bankrupt.

I remember my first build with SATA and being really confused when I couldn't find the jumpers.
A Corvette topped IMSA GTD Pro this year...I'd have to say they do pretty good on a track.
It doesn't perma brick the car. Just stick the fuse back in, drive it a bit so it realizes the telematics module is fine, and it's back to normal.

Cool guide. I'm going to do this over the weekend. Thanks!
Made cookie brownies (brookies?). They were pretty good.

I found a little cart by a farm in the middle of nowhere with a load of pumpkins on it for $1. Best thing I've spent $1 on all year.
This strangely made me feel a better about the concept of death.
Sometimes I think about it and fall in a few seconds of existential dread. But this kinda...makes it make sense?

Proceeds to pave over the Rose Garden.

Requires wifi. Sends gigs of data back to the manufacturer everyday. But it has pretty chime.

GUYS I FOUND THE WASTEFUL GOVERNMENT SPENDING
