Duck and Cover posted:LG C5 has an insane ui that I'd explain but I was only futzing with it briefly trying to figure out how to switch inputs. Now you may be thinking Duck and Cover just press the input button. Sure absolutely good plan. I have an LG C1 and I hate the menus on it. I'm not surprised to hear they're getting worse as time goes on.

I have a C1 as my computer monitor, and I just put a C4 in my pincab. While the menus are mostly the same, they're definitely slower and clunkier to navigate on the C4. There's like and extra second of waiting after every button press in the menus.

mystes posted:I don't want this. Trader Joe's is already borderline too friendly for me (the cashiers seem to genuinely expect that I tell them how they're doing when they say "how are you doing" and seem annoyed if I just say "hi" or nod or something) You're in luck, because nothing will change! You probably have patronized 20 large businesses that have posters about the 10-4 rule in their break room and you didn't see anything different

My strategy whenever an employee speaks to me is to wave vaguely and say "yeah, you too." Asking if they can help me find something? Trying to upsell me? Trying to check my receipt as I'm leaving? "👋 yeah you too" and keep moving

I got new checks cuz I still write checks and the quality drop in the paper is super noticeable. They don't even perforate reliably. Lot of pressure at the grocery check out line.

I have a handful of smart lights and smart lightbulbs around my apartment because I love colored mood lighting and it's cool to be able to switch the colors up often, etc. Yesterday I got a newer model of a standing corner lamp and overall it's great. However it has a feature that the older models I have don't: an "AI" button where I can tell chatgpt how I'm feeling and it will suggest colors for the light based on my mood. The inclusion of AI for something like this is dumb enough but what I'm most revolted by is the number of AI products coming out whose sole purpose is to make decisions about your preferences for you. If the AI bubble doesn't burst then in another 20 years we are going to have waves of Gen Beta adults who are literally incapable of making subjective preference decisions like "what do I want to eat?" or "I'm bored, what do I want to do right now?" on their own and instead rely on a dice roll random AI generation telling them what to think and feel 24/7

the added knock-on effect here is that AI when used this way will homogenize everyone's preferences and personalities and the new business model will be SEOing LLM training data so it suggests your products to everyone. Or more likely just paying to be featured by the AI

It costs money to use AI and that feature doesn’t generate any revenue so I wouldn’t be surprised if it stopped working within 12 months

A friend of mine left for their honeymoon this past Friday and their flight wasn't cancelled, thankfully. We live very close to a major, international hub so odds were good they'd be fine. I'm not 100% sure how they're gonna get home yet though since they're flying out of Alabama but we'll find out this weekend!

Watching a movie last night on Tubi and got blasted with an ICE recruitment ad. I looked it up and it seems that HBO and Hulu are also running ICE ads. Cool.  Guess I can't chill out and forget about the dystopian nightmare for a couple hours.

Unperson_47 posted:never a better time to start pirating media. if you are already pirating, never a better time to start pirating twice as much About five years ago, when the covid pandemic was at its peak, I started a regular movie night with friends on our playstations. Everyone got online at the same time, took it in turns to pick a movie and watched it together. We all had Netflix and Prime. Netflix was the worse option, since we had to count down and press play at the same time, but it was fine. Prime was loving awesome; one person picked a movie and it gave them a code to send to the others, and then we'd all be in sync. Then Prime decided to get rid of that feature. Then both of them decided to introduce ads during movies, and they're all at random intervals so different viewers need to make everyone else pause at different times in order to watch the drat movie together. It is literally cheaper to buy USB sticks, pirate each week's movie and mail them to each other than it is to pay for streaming services. And it's usually better quality, too!

This is genuinely so loving strange. I know those corporate types aren't human anyway but surely they must realise how forced it sounds if everyone is saying the same thing. Nothing can be genuine. Christ id leave a place like that so drat fast if people kept doing that do me. I can handle a "let me know if you need anything", more than that and I'm outta there.

Or whatever Brand/Store executive renames it to to make it sound like they came up with it. This isn't new. Target was more than likely already doing this. It's clearly just attention fishing and 'Dunking' on them is giving them it.

The best store is one where no employee speaks to or looks at me. Ideally, if I ask for something, they will treat me with thinly-veiled contempt. gently caress all the American boomers who want store greeters, small talk, and waiters who refill your drink at 3/4 full or constantly come interrupt to ask if you need anything. Go do minimal work, I’ll speak up if I want something. The best thing in the world is walking into a store and seeing an employee who doesn’t even look up from their phone.
