Considering when I first upgraded to a phone that included it, Gemini was incapable of setting a timer, I do not have high hopes for this.

This is to say, when I told it “set a timer for X minutes” it produced a UI on the phone that suggested it understood I wanted a timer, but failed the critical step of actually setting the damn timer. I immediately switched back to assistant, as there’s really no coming back from a fuck-up that comprehensive.

Two minds on this one.

You wanna buy an overpriced, terrible vehicle that’s the brainchild of the mastermind who was too weird even for Jeffrey Epstein. Knock yourself out buddy.

That I have to share the road with these chucklefucks, having seen how feverish they are to let the clankers take over driving said giant piece of shit vehicle? I would be lying if I said I didn’t have concerns.

The indifference ends at the point where I’m unable to opt out of participation in their bullshit.

Without having read the article, lemme guess… Electron.

Maybe now that no-one can afford RAM these companies might get motivated to do something about that. Hell, I’d accept them just feeling shamed into not being the worst memory hog on your system at this point, over any altruistic reason.
