Apparently something that lifts files off the user’s drive. /s

Funny how at first I had to look from one to the other to switch my perception of it, even though they’re exactly the same.

Both are hungry.

A relatively popular YouTuber who happens to bear the same name.

Also a bunch of laughing emojis put in a written joke are kind of like telling the joke and adding “you should laugh here”.

Yeah, but look at how many extra comments that generates. I’m starting to think that intentionally bad grammar is sometimes a good social media tactic to create engagement on top of what you’re already doing, but I’m not excluding people being just plain illiterate.

Doesn’t need any more JPEG

Yeah, but without the correlation that this particular fella is living there. That vacuum might’ve been the missing link in someone’s data collection.

Because it has to be hooked to a subscription, duuh.

Yep. Yet another useless flame war over dietary preferences while missing the original joke.

Cool, thanks. TRMNL looks good, with the only thing I dislike is that the ready made kits ship from the US (I’m in the EU). I see that there are EU resellers stocking DIY kits, so I might have a go at those.

I don’t really like the idea - I don’t have an old one to use for that, but even if I had, I wouldn’t leave it plugged in 24/7 with an aging battery inside of it. I’m looking for something that’s either meant to be plugged in constantly or something that can last a few weeks on a single charge.

Can anyone recommend a similar type of device that’s not ad-supported? I don’t care about voice, but would like to have a desk clock with a synced calendar.

I’m also in the market for one. Can’t give you a recommendation from experience, but from what I read some smart TVs can be booted up and operated in “dumb” mode, which I think would be a good compromise - you might wanna look into that, because dedicated dumb TVs seem to be next to non-existent.

If they give you a “no ads for me at all, thanks” option, it’d be fine, but I highly doubt that this would happen.

It’d be interesting to watch said AI girlfriend leaving you and taking your apartment.

Without defending one or the other, as long as you have proprietary closed software running on the device itself or on the backend of the services it syncs with, all you can have is assumptions and reasonable doubt about how the data is used. We’re trading convenience for someone knowing something about us.

I obviously don’t know your situation, but using your own phone for work is a bit of a red flag. If you’re required to use a phone for work, ideally the job should provide you one that meets their requirements.

Things generally want to keep you engaged - and a native mobile app, even if otherwise functionally the same as a webpage, has somewhat more of a chance to get you to accept push notifications to spam you.

Yeah, that’s what I’m referring to as well. If one sentence doesn’t make sense on its own, then it shouldn’t have a period at the end. Maybe complex sentences are too difficult for some people…
