Seems to be a decent answer considering the source.

I’ve seen XSearch recommended a few times but I’ve never used it myself:

It was terribly overpriced for the feature set. It also felt uniquely unpolished software wise.
All of this convinced me to give up on moving all my accounts to their service and just use the iCloud service I already pay for. Trying to get away from GMail and Google’s privacy policies, but it felt like these moves indicated greater change coming to a service I was sincerely optimistic about prior.
I’m surprised more brands aren’t simply defaulting to Threads. You still see links to their Xitter profile instead of Threads.
I prefer Mastodon, myself, but I get why major brands would prefer a centralized network.
Nicholas Cage is about to have access to that Travolta fortune.
Thank you. I had to click through a few pages but it got me to an actual contact form.
I mean is this stuff even really AI? It has no awareness of what it’s saying. It’s simply calculating the most probable next word in a typical sentence and spewing it out. I’m not sure this is the tech that will decide humanity is unnecessary.
It’s just rebranded machine learning, IMO.
That’s odd. Were you using Pro? I find pro to be less reliable, oddly enough. I always check the citations which is why I like their approach.
Read this a week or so ago and it’s a fantastic summarization of the core problem. I almost never use Google search anymore. I go between DuckDuckGo and Perplexity.
I have experience on the reseller side of the electronics business. I will tell you that most big resellers (Amazon, Walmart, Best Buy, etc) will do more in situations like this than the actual companies themselves. I’ve seen it a lot. Sure, it’s anecdotal evidence, but I’ve also read a ton of complaints over the years on Reddit of similar situations.
These first party manufacturers are manufacturers first and retail shops second (or third) so they put less effort on that side.
Never, and I repeat NEVER, buy directly from most manufacturers. For whatever reason, their customer service on the consumer purchase side always seems to suck. Buy from authorized resellers who care more about the relationship with their customers.
We called this the “swoop and poop” in a previous job of mine. Definitely not something encouraged or enjoyed.
Everyone’s experience and usage is different, but I have a base M2 MacBook Air with 8gb of RAM and besides web browsing, streaming/air playing some videos, and typing some documents, I don’t do much else. I never feel the need for more RAM.
You can also use it to start a load while you’re at work when you didn’t want your clothes sitting after washing all day. True, there’s old school delay functions but this gives a little more control.
Not saying it’s worth it, but a feature I haven’t seen anyone else mention.
AdGuard works well.
For Best Buy "Fiscal ‘24’ is February 2023 to January 2024
Fiscal '25 is February 2024 to January 2025.
It’s dumb, I know.
The irony of their efforts is that it only proved to show that they could easily begin influencing users which is the key argument being used against them.
I’m still not sure what my feelings on the subject are. I don’t use the app myself, but besides its connection to a company in China and, therefore, the Chinese government, it seems to do the same exact tracking and algorithm manipulating that every other social network does.
That is an absurdly large QR code. I recently switched to MacOS (I know Linux exists and it’s not for me) so I’m glad I’m away from this kind of nonsense.
General buying advice: 70” is a size used by manufacturers on budget units that use panels from prior years.
Go with 65” or 75”. Now, to find a balance of size and performance, 65” might be the better option.
