Toshiba used to sell a laptop (IIRC the model name was R500) back in like 2008 that had a mirror behind the screen, meaning that bright sunlight would be reflected back through the LCD and always respond to external lighting conditions no matter how bright. The image quality and color was shitty, but you could use it in the sun. Battery time was also extremely impressive.

Typical Linux distributions are almost objectively harder to use than Android. I'd be surprised if anyone really disagrees with this. When someone complains about Linux being hard to use, it's the POSIX-based Linux distributions that must support arbitrary hardware (often poorly so) that they refer to. I don't need to care about installing NVidia drivers and whether they're compatible with EFI handover when I buy an Android phone.

I downloaded more RAM in the 90s. It was a product called RAM Doubler for the Macintosh. At that time memory had to be pre-allocated for applications through a setting in the resource fork, always used exactly the amount you set, and couldn’t grow beyond that. It was static, making it hard to run multiple programs simultaneously. RAM Doubler did wonders to work around that OS limitation.

That would be fine if parts like the battery, charger port and microphone were replaceable.

The article says “sometimes provide less-accurate and less-truthful responses to users who have lower English proficiency”. This is what I was commenting on.

I mean… isn’t it just logical that if you express yourself ambiguously, you are more likely to get a poor response? Humans and chatbots alike need clarity to respond appropriately. I don’t think we can ever expect things to work differently.

I'm unsure how most of what you said relates to the parent comment. Did you forget to drink your coffee before commenting?

Space Quest 3. Wonderful story, funny, good music, and it always gave me this wistful feeling for some reason.

Only ignorant people. I had dreams of visiting and maybe doing a road trip, but under Trump I’m definitely not going there voluntarily. Even if my job wants me to go there on business I’m refusing, I’d rather find another job than cross the US border.

Here we often don’t get receipts at all. The kiosk also shows the number on the screen, but for some reason they designed the UX so that when it can’t print a receipt the number is only shown for a fraction of a second before it’s hidden by a message saying “unfortunately we can’t print a receipt right now”.
As a developer myself it makes me feel like I want to stab whoever thought this was good enough.

Addiction is always an escape from something. What you escape to is happenstance, and people who have a tendency to get addicted often just find another addiction after leaving one, unless they can face the thing that they’re escaping from.
But habit is also a strong force. Whatever you do repeatedly will train your brain to return to those thought patterns automatically. Find other associations with your daily events.
