More like the .com bubble but much worse.

Personally, I see planned obsolescence as the same thing. It’s all to force you to buy new stuff whether you want to or not.

What I meant is there is a separate overall setting to turn it off. I think it is an app specific setting. If you just turn them off in the settings for the show, it will only affect that session.

Also it’s sad to hear they’ve gotten worse. They were bad enough before when they were dub dialog only.

CC is a separate setting from the subtitles. There is a place to turn it off but it’s so unintuitive I can never remember it. All it really is, though is dub dialog. There was no attempt at proper closed captioning.

That probably is not so comforting when one of them is in control of half a ton of metal, plastic and glass in public.

This struck upon one of the greatest wishes of all corporations. A way to get work without having to pay people for it.

They’re not getting revenue from you either way. That’s really more effort than I would want to go through for what amounts to a display bug.

Not to mention most didn’t see a corresponding drop in revenue from views.

I’m not sure about Korean laws specifically, but they’re usually has to be actual damage to win a defamation case. If accusations of summoning demons caused them to lose business, it would count.

They planned on having it automatically order more milk for you, but I guess Amazon wasn’t offering enough kickback for that. So we get ads instead.

The ads are new. Research wouldn’t have revealed them.

Well, unfortunately some people are using nuclear as an excuse to argue that we don’t need any renewables at all and that they should be banned entirely. They do this because they know that nuclear faces extreme regulatory and societal challenges and it would allow coal, diesel and gas to continue unabated.

So it creates a backlash where renewable advocates feel they have to fight nuclear to survive.

Solar isn’t the only renewable choice, though. It’s just the easiest to do on an individual level. Also, there are plenty of areas for which weeks of gloominess will never (on human timescales) be an issue.

*Downgrade

Win 11 is a downgrade.

Most people wouldn’t be able to notice the difference even with the best possible equipment, but there is a difference.

Yeah, because there’s no way remotely brickable cars could ever be abused by the manufacturers.

Jimmying a lock is a lot more skill and effort than vaguely waving a device in the general vicinity of a car.

It’s not just ltt. Pretty much everyone I watch that talks about their metrics is complaining about the drop in views. Some also a loss in income.

LLMs weren’t out of left field. Chatbots have been in development since the '90s at least. Probably even longer. And word prediction has been around at least a decade. People just don’t pay attention until it’s commercially available.

I think first we have to figure out if there is even a difference.
