PCR has been around since the 80s, though it has continued getting more efficient and cheaper
I don’t know about hardware, but they marketed that you’d be able to interact with an AI that would use your apps for you, via what they called a Large Action Model. None of those apps currently work, because they all are likely getting defeated up front by Captchas and other roadblocks companies put up to stop automated usage of their services.
As with most of their good products
I used to like Shaq, but he’s been involved in promoting a lot of seriously sketchy stuff. He will put his name on literally anything if they pay him enough. Few celebrities put their name on more stupid scummy crypto bullshit. He lost my respect with that. I bet he had a financial relationship with Univ of Phoenix
The Pebble UI was also just plain fun while also being so functional. I loved the timeline concept.
Apparently it can. I think I tried it once when they had a promotion but hard to remember.
I believe PayPal can do it IIRC?
It is nice to generate generalizable code examples, to give me clues how stuff works. I find that my work (marine biogeochemistry) is obscure enough that there’s a certain level where I am still on my own. Which is a good sign for my future employability!
The thing is that the mainstream aspect will burn out, like most fads do, but the people who really love it will keep loving it, and some (usually small) amount of the new influx will also stick around permanently and enrich the community. It’s just about surviving through the fad part that is hard.
Same with leaded gas: it is a wonderful fuel additive; very effective and engines ran so well as they covered the world with lead microparticles. And CFCs: a really great refrigerant but it just also loves reacting with stratospheric ozone! Oddly enough, both commercialized by the same dude https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thomas_Midgley_Jr.
Some portions of the far right are allergic to being called “political”. Even outright Nazis often claim to be moderate. Part of the reason they end up having those beliefs is from a profound lack of awareness of self and others. They thus can convince themselves that they are the moderates, and everyone else is extreme
You are one of the blessed minimalist ones. I feel most users are drowning in tabs.
I know time is relative but that’s going a bit too far
Might be talking about Sidebery. I like them both and switch back and forth
I used Panorama a lot. Was sad when it went away
Yeah, whatever floats your boat! Firefox password manager is fine, but I have some devices where I don’t use Firefox, so I need cross-platform. Plus, Bitwarden can save other stuff securely like notes, and the features it has for secure password generation work very well.
I’ve used Bitwarden because it’s available everywhere I need it, including a good Firefox desktop extension. The only thing I worry about how they raised VC funds in 2022, and hope that doesn’t lead to enshittification. Fortunately I’m prepared to switch to self-hosted alternatives if that’s the case.
