Echo Dot

Because they don’t have a clue how technology actually works. I have genuinely heard people claim that AI should run on Asimovs laws of robotics, even though not only would they not work in the real world, they don’t even work in the books. Zero common sense.

Pretty sure it’s also going to tell people to alt f4 as well.

It reminds me of that guy that gave an AI instructions in all caps, as if that was some sort of safeguard. The problem isn’t the artificial intelligence it’s the idiot biological that has decided to ride around without safety wheels.

This article is so stupid rmdir isn’t some magical military grade file eraser. It literally just flags the disc space as available, that’s it. Claiming these files are unrecoverable is like claiming that you have snapped someone out of existence, when you just delete them from your contacts.

The user in question was using AI to delete files, it probably took them longer to ask the AI to do it than it would have done for them to have just gone into the final browser and deleted them themselves, so they probably don’t know how to use data recovery software, that’s all.

I also find it intriguing that rather than using the AI’s advice and stop using the drive so they don’t overwrite data they decided that the best course of action would be to make a YouTube video about it. Which is probably a massive file and is probably overwritten previously recoverable data.

What a pillock.

If it isn’t, it never will be.

Linux has everything going for it in '26, people pissed with Microsoft, Apple still not doing anything in the space, no one cares about CoD any more, and Valve have their computer coming out.

I mean it’s not like they can make it any worse.

We used to have dell workstations at work and they were terrible. At one point we wanted to remove the heat sink on one of the systems because it was full of dust and was overheating, doing this was made virtually impossible by the placement of the screws. I assume Dell made the computer they had access to transdimensional screwdriver that can phase through matter.

Just wrap your car in tinfoil. Bonus is that it stops the government from reading you mind while inside.

Just got a dishwasher and it doesn’t even have an app. How can that be?

Why not do cars need internet access in order to start?

I understand having auxiliary services the network connected but surely the failure mode should just be an error on the screen but otherwise the car should still function. It’s not like operating without internet access is dangerous or anything.

Also, why don’t we just do that, cut Russias internet access, it seems like it would cause utter chaos.

The 8/16but style is overused I feel. Don’t get me wrong I liked the look of it, but every indie game out there uses it.

The SVG style is still relatively new and it’s much easier to animate.

If you’re going to stick with pixel art aesthetic then you want to do something to differentiate your game from all of the others, such as having more animation frames and going for the Prince of Persia look.

If you’re looking at a website designed at any point in the last 10 years it will be able to adapt the layout. Fixed layout were a relic of the past even when I was working in the industry 15 years ago.

It’s really not. The screen is 4k OLED. It’s a perfect display. The tech had one tiny downside when it first launched which wasn’t the crease was relatively noticeable, that’s a long since fixed issue.

The only people who think folding phones are a gimmick are people who have never had them. Or and apple users who want one but can’t get over the fact that Apple doesn’t make them.

Who wouldn’t want a phone that can change size on demand. How is that not a useful feature? Sci-fi is full of transparent screens which are objectively terrible, but folding is useful.

People at work send me bug reports by email, teams chat, taking to me (the worst because I forgot about them instantly) and the crappy corporate social network thing that Microsoft pushed on us. Very occasionally they will use the actual ticketing system, but only by accident.

I don’t think github has billions of users.

Yeah but what does the corporate world do when Microsoft implodes and releases “Windows 12 agentic AI” the operating system, co developed between AI and athletic employees?

I’ve never even heard of Zig before today and it’s right out of the gate with drama, cat fights, and public spats. Got to love the programming world.

Your first mistake was buying a Dell machine.

But we don’t know what the false positive rate is either? How many submissions were blocked that shouldn’t have been, it seems like you don’t have a way to even find that metric out unless somebody complained about it.

The problem is a lot of this is almost impossible to actually verify. After all if an article says a skyscraper has 70 stories even people working in the building may not be able to necessarily verify that.

I have worked in a building where the elevator only went to every other floor, and I must have been in that building for at least 3 months before I noticed because the ground floor obviously had access and the floor I worked on just happened to do have an elevator so it never occurred to me that there may be other floors not listed.

For something the size of a 63 (or whatever it actually was) story building it’s not really visually apparent from the outside either, you’d really have to put in the effort to count the windows. Plus often times the facade looks like more stories so even counting the windows doesn’t necessarily give you an accurate answer not that anyone would necessarily have the inclination to do so. So yeah, I’m not surprised that errors like that exist.

More to the point the bigger issue is can the AI actually prove that it is correct. In the article there was contradictory information in official sources so how does the AI know which one was the right one? Could somebody be employed to go check? Presumably even the building management don’t know the article is incorrect otherwise they would have been inclined to fix it.
