Hah! I had forgotten this ad. Using a mac nowadays is definitely just like Windows Vista in this ad.

Wait so a startup that didn’t innovate much should have a bigger moat? If their work can be copied in 2 weeks maybe they don’t have anything?
I’d argue it’s a superior mouse even with the drift, even though I agree that the drift is annoying and am amazed they have not been able to fix it all these years.
Not sure I follow your reasoning behind his skin color and suicide being causally related

You can legally walk into someones home in your country if the door is not locked? Where is that?
Yes, you get pure fructose which is processed by your liver. With normal sugar you get a mix of fructose and sucrose, so less fructose.

Excessive consumption of fructose leads to fatty liver and is just generally bad for you.

I have been listening to a whole lot of AI music and it is often better than human generated. I foresee an immense unavoidable shift in the music industry due to this. It is already impossible to distinguish what is AI and and what is human generated music.

Why do American corporate PR statements read like a teen drama novel nowadays?
Not sure if that is the case. An insane amount of bitcoin has been dumped into the market by whales.
Re:Euro firms must ditch Uncle Sam's clouds and go EU-native on Saturday January 31, 2026 @01:33PM (#46839279)
I'm missing something. What is the point of this story?
The US controls the oil monopoly, where as China controls battery minerals.

The US can’t compete in electric vehicles solely due to lack of control over the complete supply chain.

The shapes just look like the letters. K’s have sharp corners, B’s are round.
Nearly as effective? It’s significantly more effective!

Would you then argue for Youtube to take the Netflix path and not provide non-paying users anything?
Re:YouTube Is a Mysterious Monopoly on Tuesday September 09, 2025 @04:50AM (#45179334)
I’m surprised to hear that. I just switched from Spotify to Youtube Music and found the audio quality to be way better, even though I had Spotify set to high.

I’m a paying customer, but my biggest issue is that the content and suggestions themselves are still ads. I feel like I am paying to remove ads from within my ads.

The videos I am being recommended are still about how natural McDonalds food is, how this natural supplement from XYZ is disrupting healthcare and how this coffee machine will revolutionize the way I make coffee.

If the recommendation algorithm would be a bit less corporate, I’d be a happy customer. That, plus Apple Watch standalone Youtube Music app.

Is this written by AI or why does this make no sense to me?
To top it off, the issue isn’t dyes, it’s artificial dyes. You can still dye your mint ice cream green, it will just be a slightly lighter shade of green.

Re:Metabolism and diet linked to root of bipolar depression on Sunday September 22, 2024 @02:25AM (#41615007)
I have never been as lethargic as with a ketohenic diet. Eating a lot of carbs on the other hand, has made weight management easy and overall energy great.
Re:Why Is the Web So Monotonous? Google (2022) on Friday January 26, 2024 @01:12AM (#39139422)
Curation is the action or process of selecting, organizing, and looking after the items in a collection or exhibition.

Google selects and organizes websites that comply with their ad infestation guidelines. Looking after them is arguable.

If slavery was legal and about to be made illegal, would you argue the same point?
