Matt Risinger’s channel was pretty good when he first started but the last few I’ve watched seem like nothing but commercials. I haven’t watched his stuff in a while so I gave it a shot on a recent video and remembered why I stopped watching.
I came here to say the same thing. It’s especially bad with streaming services. Row and column after row and column of options is overwhelming.
That’s what I’ve suspected all along.
How long before they’re on prison being used as slave labor?
I agree that manned space programs are unnecessary and unmanned should be very limited. Starlink shouldn’t have been allowed. Unfortunately the US government let telecoms off the hook when it came to serving rural areas.
That’s because tech peaked a while back. Tech news is basically about the next hustle to keep the funding coming in while producing nothing truly useful.
The only way we watched is on my wife’s Ipad and it was because we weren’t watching live. We were about 10 minutes behind the live stream. I tried to join on my Google TV and Netflix would crash.
Best summary I’ve read.
I never tweeted myself but I liked to follow a couple of local news outlets and out local government agencies for public notices and emergencies. I gave up when stuff from Elon and a bunch of right wing stuff populated my feed. I rarely saw anything of interest. I started using Facebook for that. At least the local stuff pops up in addition to the crazy stuff.
Ageeed I’ll never do it again.
I really don’t understand the hype about AI in it’s current state.
I definitely agree about the vibe being different in the mid 90s to the early 00s. Lots of passion and energy about the tech. I don’t think it’s all gone but it’s definitely nowhere near as intense.
Very few people can recognize that level of dissonance. They have twisted stuff in their minds so long it’s impossible to see it.
I have so many questions.
This is way too accurate.
Agreed. M is definitely the sweet spot for tech right now.
I’ve never heard of pigeon management but I have heard something similar described as playing chess with a pigeon as someone who “knocks all the pieces over, shits on the board then struts aroind like they’ve won”.
So would I but good luck getting your average local sheriff or office of emergency preparedness to use RSS. Most of their “IT” staff is the deputy who is “good with computers” meaning they can open a PDF file.
It’s a shame because Twitter is a perfect platform for the kind of one-way communications required by a news agency or local government agency. Maybe Mastodon or Bluesky will fill that void.
I work in telecom. Currently I’m working with the group that pre-wires large apartment complexes. When we first started doing this everyone was all about the Zip systems. I’ve noticed in the last 18 months they’re all back to normal OSB and house wrap. And it’s like “Zip- meh”. It was so hyped 6 years aggo. Risinger was one of the firat I swe hyping Zip and like you said its only gotten worse.
