Kind of my point. Neighborhoods that aren’t zoned for hotels shouldn’t have hotels in them. Companies are buying up residential homes and basically turning them into hotels without following any of the existing zoning laws.

If the owner doesn’t live on site, it’s not a BNB. It’s a hotel. And it should be taxed, zoned, and regulated as such.

Because they waste the income they have on crap like adding AI, and CEO bonuses/raises.

You can reset the tv and set it up without internet. It still works as a “dumb” tv.

True. It will be interesting to see if Apple:

• continues to work on the API
• releases the API in other regions (like North America)
• eventually moves their own AI to this API (eating their own dog food)

I think Apple got caught in a hard place where they had to start over and get things up and running quickly to head off any lawsuits about not meeting advertised promises about “new Siri”. Their first try didn’t work in iOS 26. They were aiming for 15 to 18 months to get the API working/tested. Let’s see what happens in another year or two.

Also Apple won’t be the only one in this predicament. WhatsApp is already having the same problems with DMA.

Here is Apple’s statement. They designed an API called “Trusted System Agent “ but the EU rejected it.

I hope all these employees are actively looking for other jobs. Stop wasting your talents at Meta.

I doubt this. Technology is continually improving. Computers get faster and run cooler every day. HVAC systems continue to improve efficiency as well. By 2030 who knows if AI as we currently know it will still be around. Maybe we will have switched to light-based circuitry by then as well.

Only a couple of species of mosquitoes actually bite human beings. At least one of those species is not native to the United States. We can safely kill those species and it should not impact the diet of birds and other things, sincere will still be plenty of other mosquitoes to go around.

They’re retrofitting existing cars. Leaving the steering wheel and pedals means they don’t spend money removing them. It also means they can remove the lidar bolt ons, and resell them as normal used cars later.

For more than three passengers, they’ll probably retrofit a larger vehicle like a van or an suv.

Mine doesn’t. Because I set it up with no Internet connection, so it’s just a dumb tv now.

Two wrongs don’t make a right.

Yeah, I’m more concerned about the invasion from the “smart glasses” fad filming fucking everything than I am this pie in the sky prediction.

Amazon should never been allowed to buy Goodreads.

They are dying because they have horrible leadership. They are solely focused on subscription revenue now, and everything else is just left to rot. They’ve pretty much lost any urge to do anything creative with their money and manpower.

You didn’t miss the “mobile wave”. You purposely gave up. Idiots.

Just like we all ran out and bought 3D TVs. Right? And Meta smart glasses. Any day now!

Good thing I don’t have Netflix then.

There shouldn’t be any “optional bits”. Thats part of the problem. Either it’s part of a standard or it’s not. Either you meet the standard for that version number, or you don’t.
