I wouldn’t trust it to tell me if something is or isn’t a banana.

You want a “commercial display”. They are dumb TVs for signage and whatnot. You won’t be getting the cutting edge display technology, but you still get a great display and no smart functions.

My pi-hole was getting hammered by an LG smart TV.(Phrasing)

That TV no longer gets internet privileges and I definitely won’t be buying an LG again. I strayed from Sony and regretted it across the board.

It’s 2024, madness rules these times. Witness the fall of Rome, heralded by a blue “e”.

I’m not saying we should have gulags, but if we did, I have some suggestions for permanent residency.

Your calves are defined and your bank account can barely hold a comma?

Sounds like a successful product launch, good enough to justify a second product in the line.

The rich flexing inspires desire. People don’t want a Lamborghini because it is the best car, they want a Lamborghini because they envy people who have one.

Valid point, but have you considered “Apple”?

Sure, it still won’t have genuine utility for everyday use, but it will have a rabid fandom who want to be cool to the point of justifying overpriced hardware with weak arguments that reduce to “because I just lile Apple.”

They aren’t stranded because there is the emergency capsule to get them back.

Classic corporate doublespeak and half truths.

Good thing he stopped using it a few weeks ago.

You asked if headlights emit IR because you didn’t think they do, they emit IR.

IR is heat, so headlights produce a a lot of IR. Laser headlights emit less IR with the visible light, but radiate heat.

Maybe it is the ease with Dex mode compared to other phones that don’t have a native desktop mode?

Absolutely, they need a better filter and on-board processing. It is like they are just gathering and transmitting for external processing instead of cherry picking the data matching an action that is previously trained and sending it as an output.

I’m guessing they kept the processing power low because of heat or power availability, they wanted to have that quiet “sleek” puck instead of a brick with a fanned heatsink. Maybe they should consider a jaunty hat to hide the hardware.

Gathering all the data available has future utility, but their data transmission bottleneck makes that capability to gather data worthless. They are trying to leap way too far ahead with too high of a vanity prioritization and getting bit for it, about par for the course with an Elon project.

I defer to hubris in most of these cases.

I am guessing that the people who made the decision to train on Reddit had no idea what type of place Reddit actually was just a short time ago. Maybe they heard of Reddit, maybe they noticed how useful Reddit was in search results, maybe they browsed Reddit and only saw the facade; what they definitely didn’t do is be a Redditor for years.

Any Redditor on that team either kept their mouth shut because how funny the end result would be or was ignored.

She can do rails of pearl while I new deal her dust bowl as long as you call me Peepaw when I take you to museums.

Is she single?

We need a real show of performance, “how many chrome tabs can it have open?” Is the real test.

I will have my Grandma use that Gigacomputer for an hour, we will know the number.

But can it run Crysis?

I am not trying to be insulting, but I am going to give you my perception of you bluntly. I don’t believe that you are socially aware/intelligent enough to see interpret her behaviors to understand her motivations and handle the situation without issues.

If she is equally socially oblivious/ignorant, that complicates matters so much more because neither of you have any clue what the other is doing or thinking, which creates a big grey area that gets so much more messy than just one person being oblivious.

On the worse side is if she is very socially aware and intelligent, doesn’t respect your relationship at all, and is wanting to manipulate things in her favor. She may just be with someone just so she isn’t alone and he is just keeping her occupied while she waits for you.

People giving statements about their morality should always be taken to have an “unless…” tacked onto their statements. “I would never go after someone in a relationship, unless…” You may be an “unless”.

The smart move is to never be alone with her. It sucks losing a friend because they have feelings, but keeping someone in the friend zone without feelings getting hurt or intentions misunderstood is hard enough when you are socially intelligent and aware, basically remote robotic rocket surgery while blindfolded if you aren’t.

It is great that your girlfriend and you have an open dialogue about what is going on, that helps her feel more trusting of you and helps build confidence in the relationship and your fidelity. Talk with her and ask her what you should do about your friend.

I know I wouldn’t be comfortable with my socially inept and oblivious girlfriend spending time with a guy who has made a move on her before and invited her to romantic activities alone on my birthday, but at the same time I would struggle with asking her to stop being friends with him. I would want them to stop being friends because I am insecure and have been cheated on and feel threatened by their friendship for fairly valid reasons.
