We need a new “law”, like Betteridge’s Law, that says if an article talks about something making a comeback, then that thing is absolutely not making a comeback.

See also “landlines are making a comeback”, “teens are going back to flip phones”, or “teens are using paper maps”.

It’s all bullshit clickbait with zero basis in reality.

HA Voice Preview is cool but it’s a toy compared to Alexa. It’s not loud enough and doesn’t pick out the wake work well enough. Incredibly cool pipeline and ability to tweak it, once the hardware improves I’d love to replace all my Echo’s.

It’s a bribe, go look at how much the movie paid to her. It was like half of the overall movie budget.

I’d argue the cap on reps in the house is an even bigger issue. What kind of representation can you possibly have with the crazy ratios of elected official to citizen we have? Once you’ve gerrymandered your district to pick your voters you can easily ignore the minority, they are just warm bodies no matter how they vote, it doesn’t matter.

Yep, all I lost was Alexa control so I had to open the app and dim my lights like a caveman 🤣

I’d use HA Voice if it was closer in quality/ability to Alexa (for shouting into the air to control my house) but it’s not quite there yet.

I mean it makes sense, the Pro 2’s JUST released a little while ago and some people will want to go full USB-C as soon as the iPhone does. In fact I’m a little impressed with Apple, we will see if the Keyboard and Mouse follow suit.

As if we needed another sign that ZDnet was trash…

I fucking hate these obviously bullshit articles. “Gen Z is using feature phones”, “Gen Z are using paper maps”, “Gen Z is doing XYZ”.

No, they aren’t. At best some sad excuse for a journalist found a handful of tweets and wrote a whole article on it like it’s a “trend”.

Look, I know “journalists” are being squeezed to produce at an unreasonable rate but if you write drivel like this then you have no business calling yourself a journalist, hell I don’t even think you can call yourself a “writer” or “contributor” either. It barely passes as writing and you are contributing nothing to society.
