For me it’s branding something as “AI” as a buzzword. Almost all product marketing is full of AI hype these days.
The Year: 2092
The Problem: Timezones are annoying
The Solution: Space mirrors! A series of mirrors in space would rotate to keep the entire planet under a single time zone. A perfect global time system is born!
Sounds like a great idea! With the best of intentions. What could possibly go wrong?
Any front engine rear drive car going in reverse, lol.
There is always the Wikipedia style link to the definition whenever such word arrives. This is what browser tabs are for.
I like being able to rotate 90° one of my screen because sometimes it’s just the best way to work.
PL setups are the best.
If that ever happens, I would start bringing duct tape to flights, tape a magazine to cover the screen.
I remember having a conversation with a former friend a while ago, and he, as a guy who worked for a certain company that makes most of its revenue from delivering ads, spoke about requiring use of front facing camera and using eye tracking technology to ensure you’re actually watching the ads and not going somewhere else while the ads play. If you aren’t looking at the ad, it will play another ad afterwards.
He spoke about it as something he is looking forward to, since it would increase revenue. Pretty sure he was pitching this idea to his boss hoping to get a promotion.
If these are signs of being old, I was born old.
They did win because of how the electoral college works. Both Trump and Bush lost the popular vote and won the election because the system is designed in a stupid way.
At least 60% of my internet time is YouTube. I rely on it for entertainment, news, education, discovering music, technical help, ETC…
Could I live a meaningful life without it? Probably, people have been living meaningful lives before the invention of the computer in general… But I wouldn’t give it up because there is an immense amount of incredible content there that genuinely makes my life better.
I think it depends on how good your sense of smell is. Mine is really bad, so if I had my eyes covered and was wearing noise cancelling headphones, I wouldn’t be able to tell if there are people in my area unless they haven’t showered in a while… Being able to distinguish between people? I can’t even differentiate between the smells of popcorn and peanut butter.
On the other hand, I know someone who was able to smell a “coppery” smell on someone which no one else notice. Eventually she convinced him to see a doctor and they found a rare condition that I can’t remember which.
I only used it to follow some artists I like, that’s it.
I stopped using it when squacker stopped working, though I don’t think I’m in that statistic because I never had a twitter account.
You can easily pull the bones out and eat it without touching the wing with your fingers. It’s only hard to do when you have overcooked chicken. I always assumed these people never had proper wings before.
I know nothing about guitars, but I’ve seen Ichika Nito with these ibanez guitars. They don’t have a head, and the strings go all the way to the other side, making the guitar more compact.
So this is the new Lenovo Yoga line… Nice.
Interesting, I never heard of the EyeTap, just searched it right now. I didn’t expect someone to make something like this is 1984.
Exactly, it can even give you functionality, like your calendar/reminders/transit schedule/ETC… There is so much potential for customisation.
I’d seriously worry about not having immunity to whatever diseases exist in that world, and the people of that new world not having immunity to whatever I might be carrying from my world.
Probably try and figure what the skills of the other survivors on the train to assemble a team with the goal of survival and information gathering.
