Close. It means to understand a thing or person so completely that you and it/they become one.

That dipshit really doesn’t have any understanding of what the word grok actually means.

This potential dilemma just further highlights that cloud-connected devices should be enhanced by connectivity, not reliant on it.

This should be everyone’s takeaway.

The problem isn’t the company possibly going out of business, its the loss of online service nerfing the device that is the real issue.

Israel can do no wrong because their imaginary friend told them that they’re special, and everyone else sucks. the world can’t get over their guilt over letting Germany murder 6 million Jews. And besides, brown people’s lives are inconsequential, especially if they pray to the wrong imaginary friend.

That’s the point. If your business has to create a mountain of un-recyclable trash in order to thrive, it should absolutely fail.

Oh, I’ve seen that. I’ve had assistant turned off for like 2 years now. It became a security hazard when they took away the sound indicator that it was listening.

google is forcing Gemini into everything and you can’t turn it off,

You can still shut off Gemini as of right now. I don’t know what it’ll be like in the future though.

The fact that there are 256 billionaires is an absolute failure of our society.

Holy shit this is so unbelievably full featured it’s not even funny. This is going to rattle some big names. I wonder how long till they try to shut it down because it’s better than anything commercially available.

The stuffed bra has deferred many an ID check.

Sadly I think this was bound to happen. Zelenskyy has been not only fighting the physical war with Russia but also a prolonged propaganda war and the measures he’s used to fight against the mass of disinformation flowing out of Putin’s bullshit machine were bound to be corrupt by their very nature. You can see the paranoia that has set in as he was not only attacked by the east but now with Trump in office, he started getting it from the west as well. I fear that it’s only going to be downhill from here.

They only show their true colors when the feel that it is safe for them to do so. So this says more about Twitch and our current society than about this asshole.

Are you using the free version of Plex or the paid for version?

It’s the recent “We all hate Plex now” because they implemented a price in regards to the way we access content remotely because it was costing them too much to maintain for free. So anything that smells even remotely like they are trying to make money is getting the shocked and dismayed reaction. Usually followed by a dozen or so people talking about how they’ve ditch Plex ages ago for a truly free platform like jellyfin/Kodi/etc.

I’m pretty sure that duckduckgo browser is based on Chromium. That should work in Chrome’s stead.

Can you not just find and use an old version and disable updates for it?

Literally every cable company is a scam.

This is by design. It’s called a mini-monopoly and our government should have put a stop to is 50 years ago.

Yeah, this is a hard lesson everyone should take to heart.

Edit: to add, most banks will allow you to set up automatic payments to go out to companies. This is a far better method because it doesn’t put your finances in the hands of an unscrupulous corporation. (Well, other than your bank but those are the dice we roll)
