While I agree being shitty is a human problem, shitty people are using AI to be shitty faster.

There's a new pebble? Wow!

I've only heard of Perplexity because I got a free year from my cell provider. Also does anyone else feel like this article is missing punctuation or something?

I lost mine in my house. Looked for it in April, couldn't find it. In September I found it and the battery was at 56%.

Also you can't read a tablet in direct sunlight.

Yeah Amazon and I have a pretty adversarial relationship about what I should be able to do on my Kindle, and my next device won't be from them. But in the meantime I'm loving having my jailbreak back, and I made sure to prevent updates properly this time. Koreader is great and the thing even has a Gameboy emulator!

My (half-) brother has Huntington's. It killed his father, so he knew it was possible and he's not having any children. He's just turned 30 and just had its presence confirmed, but apparently he'll be symptom-free until about 60. Hopefully we get more good news like this in the next 30 years.

What did you replace Defender with?

I struggled with this. All I wanted was an eight inch tablet with a stylus. I eventually settled on the Samsung Galaxy Tab Active 5, which I managed to source from my cell carrier. It's rugged, meaning it's approaching 9 inches with the thick bezel. Not one of my desired features, but I have small children so this is still a plus. All the pictures on the Samsung website are dudes wearing hard hats and reflective vests, and you can buy a rack for charging five of them at once, that's how aimed at construction workers it is. Also it has a push-to-talk key which I've bound to turning pages instead. Anyway, it fits in my (admittedly very large) pocket and I use it everyday. Oh, and you can easily replace the battery (if you don't live in Canada) but battery life isn't great. Performance is great though.

Better for mobile applications, which I realize TVs are typically not but sometimes they can be mounted onto a cart or something.

I just stopped using Connect to Windows to test out Sefirah. I haven't used it enough to form an opinion on it, but it's open source.

A fascinating read. It inspired me to look further into the StarCraft voice integration. Other games have tried it, using voice commands to direct computer companions as an additional layer of realism. But I'm not aware of any game that's done it well. Might be nice for applications like picking from a long list, sometimes "build unit X" is way faster than paging through buttons, but again we have keyboard shortcuts for that. Keyboard shortcuts wouldn't work for dynamic menus though, and voice commands do.

Sorry for the stream of consciousness.
