I loved my original Fitbits. They were life changing for me, and really helped me through some severe health setbacks. But then they got in financial trouble, and Google came along, and it's all been going slowly to hell, on both a hardware and software level. Sounds like it not over, and time to consider other options for my next watch.

I really like liverwurst, though I rarely eat it for dietary reasons. But I'm old, and I suspect the market for this stuff is aging out. Lots of once common products and dishes have all but vanished in my lifetime. Sometimes this is a good thing, but I worry that instead of eating healthier, things are trending towards more processed foods as a staple. Give it a couple of generations, and people may be eating nothing except "chicken" nuggets.

I'm guessing this would be a long solved problem but for "genius" Elon and his single-mindedness. Visual self-steering is unnecessary and over-complicated for this application. A "soft" track, perhaps in the form of a coded center-stripe, and some new code would fix this. But proving the imagined "perfection" of self-driving is more important to Musk. This is like his "no flame trench" debacle at Starbase all over again.

I'm convinced at this point "AI" stands for "Artificial Incompetence."
Also, the image for this post evokes the movie poster photo for the infamous horror movie "The Human Centipede," and given the subject matter, this may not be entirely inappropriate.

I really hate this bullshit, and want no part of it on or near my computer. REALLY starting to wish I wasn't stuck on Windows for my office machine. Pretty much everything they do to it makes it worse.

I stopped eating at Chuk-fool-a at least 20 years ago, when I became aware of their discrimination against LGBTQ+ people (before the term existed I think). I've got queer kids and family members, and I couldn't support that.
As for finding people to fill their streaming service, I hear there may be a lot of out-of-work Trump staff members soon. Seems like their belief systems should be compatible.

Any product that requires an app to work doesn't belong to you, no matter how much you paid for it.

I fail to see how anything could go wrong here. (Goes back to watching 1968 "Star Trek" episode about computer that starts shutting down important systems to steal power to get its work done, and shortly after starts killing people).

I'm just old enough to recall
Polio and wards full of children in iron lungs (Look it up, kids!). Remember, Republicans are disease carrying vermin. By choice.

Feels like "thinness" is a marketing buzzword that Apple's marketing department got addicted to years ago, and just can't kick. Somebody needs an intervention and a trip to rehab.

Amazing how many companies, in the rush to stake some kind of AI claim because "latest marketing buzzword," and especially ones like this that SHOULD know better, are shooting themselves in the foot to get there. Of course, Adobe has a long history of taking its customer base for granted.

I'm full-blown diabetic and my doctor just put me on Ozempic to bring down my recently rising A1C. Would be terrible if a tag team greedy drug companies, Tiktokers, trendy stars, and fashionistas ruined this for people who actually need it. Not to mention maybe toppling the entire health-care system, bad as it is in the U.S.
