No country wants to build a tech infrastructure that they don’t control.

I don’t know if it is purposeful. It just seems to be a side effect of the market going all in on AI.

Even during the halcyon days of CD sales in the late 90’s, there was a decent amount of filler on a lot of albums. It didn’t help that albums were the product while singles were what were advertised.

Yeah. My previously covered medication now has a $10 copay.

That hasn’t been a thing since 2001.

It was a great way of showing off YouTube talent. There were meaningful trends on YouTube for a while and these videos were a way to celebrate what went viral for the year.

That these videos are harder to make speaks a lot to how YouTube has changed as a platform.

Other EV’s have this problem too, so it isn’t just a Tesla problem.

I think the main issue is what happens when software support ends. There are tons of industrial and medical equipment with outdated software that work well today, mainly because there is an air gap between their computers and the Internet. That air gap may need to be enforced onto cars as default in the future.

The person is writing from a business prospective. If people are replacing their phones less often, it means that fewer phones are being purchased each year. If your company makes phones, that means adjusting to a shrinking market no matter what your company does.

The problem is that both creators and consumers see value in algorithmic suggestions. For RSS feeds, users have to find the feed to download the podcasts. In contrast, a walled garden provides most users with an ability to discover new podcasts which gives creators more exposure.

An iPad is a tablet.

The problem is that most people use tablets as a media consumption device, so the need to update is far less than a phone. Even then, the smartphone market has cratered as justification for flagship phones have dropped. As tablets have a lower demand than phones, that market has completely dried up.

In this case, private equity isn’t the only villain.

Print journalism has been decimated over the last generation as it has become the expectation that the articles should be free. The money that used to support journalism is mostly gone.

The writer is focusing only in their own experiences, but the industry as a whole can’t support many people who blog as is it is their job.

I don’t know. A lot of us here are autistic.

Amazon, like a lot of other tech companies, has also been cutting product lines as increased interest rates has put a cost to money and a push to profitability.

That said, there is likely some use to AI, even if it is error prone.

Yeah, but you also put together an argument that addressed the key issue.

You’re right, it has gotten worse. Thanks for providing the appropriate evidence.

I described a shift over time and your rebuttal was arguing over a single point in time.

I feel more like we’re in a golden age where people can express their stupidity with a larger microphone they were ever given before.

And as much as people complain about the stupidity of people, the population is probably the most literate and productive in human history. We’re just seeing people use a new tool poorly when that use would not have been recorded previously.

Windows 10 reset a lot of UI from 8 to 7 that a lot of users wanted. Some changes were added, but the muscle memory learned since 95 could be used with little modification. Windows 11 broke a lot of those workflows without providing anything better on the higher end of usability.

I agree that 10 started adding things that people don’t like about 11, but 11 actively broke things that people liked about 10.

Part of the reason why MetLife Stadium in New Jersey won the finals game is because of the superior transit to the stadium and nearby cities over AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.

Taylor Swift is also one of the top pop artists of all time.
