  • For both xbox and playstation, right now, with discs, unless your internet if faster than 200Mbps, discs are faster. Also, installing from disc has no bandwidth caps, which is common in many places.

    And if you say “I have faster internet”, good for you buddy. Your experience isn’t shared by everyone around the world.



  • Micromanagement. If you go “AFK” in just 2 minutes… your boss might start asking questions. Where did you go? Why weren’t you working? All sorts of bullshit every bad manager would pull out. In a misguided attempt to try to ensure you give “110%” performance!

    I had a manager years ago, she tried to enforce phone codes. She would then compile a report. Trying to determine when you were on break, when you went to use the bathroom, how much time you weren’t in the phone queue, etc. She was eventually demoted from her position for basically making enemies of everyone she managed. And that report didn’t help any meaningful metric.













  • I never wanted AI on my phone, period. I don’t care which one. The Google Assistant was more than enough, if not too much. Never got asked if I wanted any of this shit, it was just forcefully added into every fucking thing.

    My old ass phone, Google pushed out AI. (I plan to swap to GrapheneOS soon). It’s less useful than Assistant. And features are disappearing.

    My Windows 10 PC… fucking AI added. To be honest, never opened it.

    Because I use Android Auto when driving, technically, thanks to Google, I have AI there too. And as stated, it’s less functional than the original assistant.

    Drive-thru… AI. It’s slower and less accurate than a person. Only upside, because it doesn’t have a budget mic from the 1980’s it’s clearer than a person.

    Work… AI. Co-Pilot for VSCode, as a tool, it’s fine, get’s a lot wrong. But I had some upper manager claim they recreated DoorDash in like 5 minutes with AI (clearly they didn’t). We just had a recent wave of layoffs (I survived). But they are monitoring AI usage to ensure we use enough per month…

    News?.. AI. Both good or bad news about it, I’m just so fucking sick of the exact same things. Trump, AI, Trump, AI, Trump, AI… that’s all it is, all the time. Just how both are fucking everyone.
