He filled out the form “on your behalf”. There might be questionable or comical information put on that form since it’s not like you would ever see it. He might have an account that he uses for this scenario to capture that data in a free email account and collect or sell any points/rewards. There is no way of telling at this point. Vehicle rentals isn’t the most honest or career rewarding industry.

Modems were slow and a monthly cost that tied up people’s phone lines. This was another way to get people online. It wasn’t a given thing that we think of nowadays.

In every AI prediction there is an obvious underestimating of the actual difficulties faced by workers and planners so the tool to automate those intelligent tasks always way underperform what a person is capable of with the notable exception of merging the automation with human tasks as an augment. And that is a totally ‘nother topic. But thanks for the investment money.

Hilariously, the MacBook neo has the same taskbar issues since it was what Microsoft copied. No one is getting replaced so I’ll guess they’ll just add some customizations to make it more Mac-like to win users back.

I’m actually glad because it seems like we are finally leaving behind the flat design that started in iOS 7, if I remember correctly. I’m not sure it would be good to go full skeuomorphic but at least a button looks more like a button again

I’d say the consumer front end is more of an afterthought. It also seems like something they want to get rid of at some point so that they have to deal with the resellers like Microsoft did in the 90s with MS Windows

I looked at the top 25 grossing apps on iOS and Android. There is only one explicitly ai app and it’s the one that ran a Super Bowl commercial, ChatGPT. I don’t see the demand from regular consumers. When or if it grosses top in the charts then it arrived. It’s more windows 3.0 than windows 95.
