The AI generated car ads are just awful, I made a post about it:

Libre Office too ironic for a prison library?

God I hope not…

Quality through obfuscation… make it harder to use. If the dimwits can’t figure out how to use it…

I think the trick is that the normal PS5 is already $450 (no disc drive) or $500 (with disc drive).

So do the features on the Pro version provide an extra $200 to $330 worth of value?

So far, as a PS5 owner, I’m not seeing it.

Also explains why they raised the price on the normal PS5 - “Well, the Pro isn’t THAT much more…”

Not really, it’s not their network. No way to prohibit it. All you’d do is plug it into power.

They don’t want you plugging in your own gear to their network, fine.

Get one of the “5G Home Internet” services from T-Mobile or Verizon, plug your router into that.

Not on their network, they have absolutely no say over it.

Not sure how this is a crime… breach of TOS, sure, but a crime?

What law is being broken here?

If his fake bands are being paid for bot clicks, that’s a problem for the platforms to figure out. They need to examine their TOS.

Lemmy.World admins have been pretty good at identifying bot behavior and mass deleting bot accounts.

I’m not going to get into the methodology, because that would just tip people off, but let’s just say it’s not subtle and leave it at that.

Challenge accepted…

Sounds like Patreon with extra steps.

Never aged well, Commodore Amiga cost less and did more from the very start.

Curved monitors.

Less concerned about Crowdstrike since it’s not their product.

More concerned about Copilot:

Every other company:

“Hey, we’re hiring…”

Everyone Sucks Here

I hope so too, but I’m not expecting it. :(

Here’s a story… the last heart attack, in January, was in the middle of a snow and ice storm. The hospital needed to get me to another hospital for the stent because they couldn’t do it, but because of the ice, the ambulance couldn’t get there.

So I wake up the next morning and I’m fiddling on my phone, modding lemmy, such as you do.

Nurse comes in and he goes “Were you asleep about an hour ago?”

“Yeah, why?”

“Your heart stopped for 8 seconds.”

“. . . Um… thank you? I… don’t know what I’m supposed to do with that information.”

So I have an implant now, it calls out through my phone if my heart stops again.

Considering I should have died already a couple of times, sure? Why not?

Edit Googled it, ran it, it’s about as accurate as one of those “Which Lord of the Rings characters are you?” quizzes.

Do you smoke?
Do you drink?
Do you exercise?
Do you eat processed foods?
Do you have a family history of major health conditions?

That’s it. Came back with +20 years for me. Unlikely since I’ve had 2 heart attacks and have other major medical issues.

My expectation is another 3 to 5 years, tops.
