At the top of the quick settings panel there is a power button.

You can blame crypto, you can blame AI, but when it comes down to it everything is worth what people are willing to pay. Clearly companies are pushing that further and further and people keep paying.

There was a generation where it was true at the launch of the console. That’s the period I’m talking about. Beating a 5 year old machine is hardly worth bragging about.

If they were, then you could build a PC for cheaper.

I only knew one person that had one. He worked for Microsoft.

That was a brief period when consoles were way over priced for the components they had.

So, even better argument for auto climate control. Set it once when you first get in your car and are still parked, then leave it. However, yes buttons please. If this meme is about buttons vs touch screen, then I strongly agree with the meme. My vehicle not only has the auto climate, but also it is using buttons. They’re stupid capacitive touch buttons that Hyundai has since switched back away from, but at least they’re always in the same spot and I don’t have to change any screens to access them.

Yeah, my gf does something similar, but opposite. She doesn’t like it going full blast so she turns down the fan which turns off the auto. I think if she had the version I did she would actually use it correctly.

Hard disagree with this. Climate control has become a must for me since the early 2000s. Set and forget is always better than fiddling with things. And now my current car has three levels of automatic so it doesn’t go full blast at the beginning, it’s amazing.

That can certainly depend on the lunch. Usually in the morning I would do idling tasks like checking email and just simple stuff. I would be hungry and mostly just waiting for lunch. Thinking about that now, I wonder if it would be different now that I’m taking GLP1. That’s that “food noise” that gets muted. I would always take the earliest possible lunch and then come back ready to knock some stuff out.

Nah, I was most productive for maybe a few hours after lunch.

Correct. That’s why successful boycotts usually only happen because the company was already in decline. I would argue that the Disney/ABC situation was that.

I can’t find the source. I’m recalling a recent episode of TBOY podcast that talked about this. They cite their sources, but I’m not sure which episode it was. So, yeah without actual sources feel free to ignore what I said.

Sorry, the vast majority fail.

The majority of investors now are “retail investors”. Just regular people on apps like Robinhood. These people are investing in memes or making political statements.

Boycotts don’t work.

You keep trying to throw out all the data because some is bad. I don’t think these companies would be paying that much for all bad data. You seem to really want to justify some bias you have. It’s really weird.

At this point we’re just speculating. We don’t have evidence either way of its mostly good or mostly bad data.

No, I’m not. I don’t care at all if they’re successful or go under.

Sure, but again it’s not likely to be most. You don’t seem to realize how hard it is to get data that is already classified. That stuff is gold to people developing AI. Most of the work in data science is cleaning data and getting it into a usable form.

Okay, but it is those niche subs that are the most valuable.
