Specifically, the Blackwall.

Pretty crazy how prescient Cyberpunk (and Neuromancer, etc.) are looking right now.

I use the Boost app and it includes an option to filter out posts which includes specific words. Really handy and I set up exactly the same filters.

The answer is “no”, because the market they serve (K12 schools) cares about security, but they don’t care enough (or have the budget) to actually pay for it.

Story time!

Yeah, who is there to compete with? (The somehow-way-worse) NetSuite?

Not OP, but I have an Emerson Sensi. It was free after rebates from my local electric company. I like it, though admittedly I wasn’t ever looking for anything fancy.

I can control the temperature from my phone and see simple stats like how much time it’s been heating or cooling each day. It lets me set up schedules, too, of course. It doesn’t do anything flashy like learn my schedule or connect to Google home and whatnot. The app is lightweight be it doesn’t bother me with ads or notifications to buy more junk.

I’ve come to really enjoy a slow Saturday morning where I drink my coffee by the fire and maybe read a little bit.

It’s a nice way to search for content or answers without all the ads that websites have nowadays. Of course, it’s only a matter of time until the AI/LLM responses are surrounded by (or embedded with) ads as well.

And MORE prominent brands, as Sony still makes them and Panasonic still makes the best ones.

For real. I use Boost and I set it to block “trump” and “musk”, which instantly made Lemmy 100x better. Probably time to add “bluesky” to that list.

Because we all hate corpos.

Most likely, they simply thought the machines would live long enough to be the next guy’s problem.

Wouldn’t the business license say still be for Twitter, with a DBA “X”?

Well, that’s it, boys. We’ve gone full Blade Runner.

Yup. Could’ve been a future where they went from Xbox 360 to Xbox 720 to Xbox 1080 and so on. They probably got scared that some of the audience would have thought that the Xbox 720 would only do 720p, then crapped the bed.

That’s literally the sales pitch to investors, and has been for decades.

Haha! Physical media has been “slowly going away” since before UHD existed as a format. Just keep buying whatever format you like and distributors will keep it going. Look at all the catalog titles and niche (often limited special run) titles still being added to UHD.

“You won’t believe character #3!!!”

Star Trek stuff
Autism
Cats (I’m a dog person - fight me)
Anything about furries that shows up in All

Oh, and any post with “Trump” in the title

Unless these people paid a premium for this kind of “smart” device vs. the cost of a basic version.
