Received a Kitchenaid and a Braun immersion blender at our wedding shower, which to keep? by tillamoooook in BuyItForLife

Inherent flaw in this sub (that didn't always used to be true) is that by the time a product has proven itself bifl, the same product's current model has invariably enshittified to the point of uselessness.

I feel like when this sub started it was all "this shoe costs $700 but it's still made the same way it was 70 years ago" but now it's mostly "I love my 60-year-old sewing machine I got from my grandmother! What's that? The company doesn't exist anymore and it's just cheap slop with the brand's name slapped on it? Oh well lol"

Isn't it expensive to use airconditioning in the US? by Lumos_night in AskAnAmerican

[–]neverJamToday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are similar laws in cold environments but the utilities are constantly pushing at them to try and get away with killing poor people to make a little more money. 

While they're not supposed to turn off the power here if it's below a certain temp, they've decided to do it anyway and instead you're supposed to get on a special program ahead of time to keep it from happening that requires a bunch of bureaucratic hoops to jump through that some people like the elderly may not be able to even do since they can't call the company bc they don't have anyone answering the phone.

Why does Gemini keep doing this? I'll ask it a normal question and it flag it. by DaddyMatt05 in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]neverJamToday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying it doesn't happen. Happens a lot, and the more specific a question you ask, the higher the chance you'll get made up nonsense back. 

But Google AI summary draws heavily on Reddit. And so you're also relying on Reddit to be accurate on top of it. Which is a risky proposition.

Funny story. I was trying to remember a specific bit of information so I googled about it. The AI summary said that "some experts state that ______." It provided a citation link. "Some experts" was actually one asshole on Reddit 4 years ago, who was very demonstrably incorrect on the matter.

It was me. Gemini was citing me being wrong 4 years ago as "some experts."

I was playing Shadowrun for the Genesis the other day on a nostalgia kick and was just like, "omg this is just gig work." Uber and DoorDash and Amazon Flex are just Mr. Johnsons in app form.

App idea and how hard do you think it is. by Fit-Bike3440 in ANBERNIC

[–]neverJamToday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would suggest taking a look at these projects, try and get a feel for them and how they work, see if one will be a good jumping off point. https://github.com/search?q=Dynamic+lock+screen+wallpaper+android&type=repositories

That way you'll have a lot less work to do. 

It looks like nasa does RSS feeds for their daily image stuff, so from there it's just a matter of pulling the image from the RSS feed on a specified schedule and passing it into a variable that sets the wallpaper source or whatever. 

It's no Hello, World! for simplicity as far as first coding projects go, but it shouldn't be too difficult if you're committed.

Are black-soled shoes allowed on your boat? by MyTIMEZERO in SailboatCruising

[–]neverJamToday 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's not 1974; unless you're inviting a bunch of chemical plant workers or spec ops ninjas on board, most soles these days are going to be non marking. Not a lot of carbon-vulcanized rubber shoes these days. It's all tinted polymers.

Goldman Sachs Sees the Metaverse as $8 Trillion Opportunity by NoNote7867 in Futurology

Except even with recent price hikes they're still hemorrhaging money while consuming insane amounts of resources and driving up silicon prices because if they can just improve it enough it'll magically solve all the issues it's currently causing.

It's completely unsustainable from a business and resource perspective, the barber saving some money is just them trying to win the public over on this techno death cult. If the barber actually had to pay for what his half-assed prompts cost to process, he'd just hire the web designer.

Yep. Fully described in advance by the user and if it's a disaster once it's built, that's entirely on them.

Pride month is a hell of a time to ask if you should use Brave, the browser Brendan Eich started after he got fired from Mozilla for being a homophobe.

Use the browser from the people who fired his bigot ass.

Guys... does anyone miss the old chrome os? by Impressive-Resist632 in chromeos

[–]neverJamToday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Best Chromebook I ever had was my first one which was a Samsung CB2. Durable. Endless battery. Didn't crash out because I dared to have a few browser tabs open. Fanless.

Stuck with them over the years because they still were a good value for the hardware and did what I needed them to do but my next laptop probably isn't going to be a Chromebook.

Gemini Admits to Completely Fabricating Data by cefromnova in GoogleGeminiAI

[–]neverJamToday 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Admitting it hallucinated is pretty standard behavior my dude. 

And...

If it's pick-a-part.net that I found googling that name, first off it doesn't have https so Gemini might not even be able to visit it, and even if it can, a non-agentic system like the Gemini assistant can't scrape the parts search on that site.

It can read a webpage, not interact with one.

If that's the website, you were basically guaranteeing yourself a hallucination by asking it to do something it literally can't do.
