My biggest issue with this is, the rest of my family. As many times as I've put a streamer box and instructed my family to use it, they always default to the built in system.
We're bonemaxxing now?

What happened to the last one they announced? Is it just gone? are the preorders carried over?
Re:Muse Spark Open on Friday October 16, 2026 @08:51AM (#50117742)
Man, i just can't keep up anymore.

I need companies to start telling me features instead of "it's better. on benchmarks"

They seem to just say "Here is our new model it's better, but you figure out how"

Maybe I'm old now.

Muse and now Dot's emergence in popularity makes me think Apple's "lil Finder" will be their take on it.
Re:9000 RPM is faster than your screen refreshes on Wednesday September 02, 2026 @10:59AM (#49537348)
i like going to https://makermotor.com/rpm-visualizer/ and bumping up the rate to multiples of my refresh rate and seeing the pattern change.
The only thing keeping me on my apple watch is the wakeup.
.....yeah
I like the way you think!

Fun how quickly i developed my own rules.

Yellow planes always get rerouted this way.

Put red in this circle to stay out of the way.

Thank you for sharing and thank you maker for makign!

I could very quickly sus out what was on FOX news last night by the conversations my coworkers have.

Communist revolution put China behind, but they are realllly catching up fast.

I was gobsmacked when the Amazon share sheet put "or ask Alexa, your shopping assistant for more ideas"
They are floating this so get a pre reaction to see if they should go through with it.
...no shit

One could even argue that Google Search was/is THE platform of the internet. If you're not there you're not anywhere.

Re:Claude.ai down on Monday April 13, 2026 @12:29PM (#47754482)
Is it important to be that self reliant? I wasn't in the workforce then, so I assume if you have an outsourced system with 99% reliability it would be an acceptable risk. Not sure if any AI system will reach that level, but for potential gains it could be worth it.
Re:Just Put It on a Map on Friday March 20, 2026 @09:15AM (#47454076)
Was cool to see a few of the cities, and then cross reference with some searches on pricing to get a better understanding of the actual cost.
It has always felt to me that the LLM chatbots were a surprise to Google, not LLMs, or machine learning in general.

While I don't disagree, that is unrealistic.
Re:The Enchiridion by Epictetus on Tuesday January 27, 2026 @11:12AM (#46781921)
I enjoyed this book greatly, I do not enjoy how Stoicism has become the basic meaning of philosophy.

Meditations is also a decent read.

Re:The Unbearable Joy of Sitting Alone in a Café on Monday January 05, 2026 @12:49PM (#46502078)
For me this is the running I do. No phone accessible (still with me for safety). Just the repetitive sound of my feet and breathing, lets my mind wander and enjoy the isolation.
Re:Micron Announces Exit from Crucial Consumer Business on Thursday December 04, 2025 @10:29AM (#46148727)
100% agree.

A little foil hat conspiracy i supposed, but the big companies saw nobodies become incredibly wealthy over the last decade, and this is the new companies protecting their position by limiting technology.

How do you go about editing via ipad, I'm just getting into this whole world, and am finding it difficult to figure out a system.
