I wouldn't have minded quite so much if they made everything voice controlled. But all my speech recognition system can do is just call and text people. It can't turn on the AC, you can't even navigate to a destination with the GPS unless you go into the GPS app first.

Also it would be really nice if the activation phrase was something other than the word "hey", you know perhaps they could go with a word that isn't said 5,000 times a day anyway.

If VW made a car that randomly exploded every time it went over 40 miles an hour they would still sell it if in some way that saved the money.

US and EU regulators announced last year that cars with touchscreen controls could get worse safety ratings.

Yeah that's the real reason they're moving back it's got nothing to do with the complaints from the customers because they've been ignoring those for over a decade. They just know that people won't buy their cars if it receives a substandard rating.

But hey I'll still take the win.

Right but who has like three grand just sitting in a checking account, that shit in a savings account because I'm not Bill Gates and I need every penny I can get from the interest? If they're not going to tell you at the time that you pre-order when they're going to bill you, then they need to contact you ahead of time or that's going to keep happening.

Oh right, so you do realise that you sound like a pathetic incel. At least you've got that going for you.

Why would you put up with that? Why wouldn't you demand a replacement.

I'm a little miffed with framework actually.

I had a order with them that they chose to cancel because they just randomly charged the account one day months after I had pre-ordered something, and there wasn't enough money in the account because I didn't know when they were going to charge for it. They didn't contact me or anything, they just cancelled the order. Thanks guys.

Edit: Deleted an extra word

I often wondered this about potatoes. Wild potatoes are extremely poisonous, so who went, the last time we ate one of those we all got sick and a few people died.

Let's cultivate them. I'm sure in just a few thousand years we can turn it into something useful. Of course until then it's kind of just wasted effort but our children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children's children will thank us.

Then it should be renamed to Microsoft office -1 because I never started paying for for it.

Also they can release "Microsoft Office 365 Co-pilot app business plus pro platinum edition, with Azure" for 3x the price and no clear business distinction.

Is he?

No one is buying the Xbox, quite possibly because no one can tell if it's a new generation or not. I don't think any AI company has yet posted a profit. Market share for Linux has increased in the last 2 years and most of that is from people moving away from Windows.

I'm sorry I'm going to need a 15-minute video with lots of cheesy very unfunny jokes.

 

When you reveal a spoiler the black rectangles go away and it then renders the text in white, but on a white background (light coloured theme) The text renders is exactly the same colour as the background and so you can not see it unless you highlight the post, this renders the background of the post as light grey and there is just about enough contrast difference to now read the text.

When spoiler text is revealed it should render in the same colour as normal text. I'm not sure why it's white.

See images below for demonstration.

spoiler text is hidden

spoiler text has been revealed but is invisible

text post is highlighted and now you can see the spoiler text rendered in white
