My old HTC one had an ir blaster. It was great.

Wait are we talking about this one?

If so, I just looked it up…I mean, its there.

Ugh, the car!

I live in the heat. I have to start to car before hand, just to make it so the family doesn’t melt to the seats. It connects. I switch it back to my headset. I go back in the house to get stuff to load up, and I go out of range. Get back in range. It connects again. I switch it back to the headset. I forgot something…

Rinse and repeat like 5 times before I’m good to go. Whole time, I’m only catching every 10th word of whatever someone is saying to me on the phone, thinking it lost service, or they hung up on me.

I hate auto connect.

Maggots, Michael. You’re eating maggots. How do they taste? You piece of shit.

The original Frito Burrito!

Pretty sure Ted Bundy had a long time girlfriend. Didn’t she turn him in?

BTK was married and cub scout leader and president of his church.

The Golden State killer was married.

John Wayne Gacy had a wife for a bit. He was definitely murdering during his marrage. The wife couldn’t figure out the stench from the crawlspace.

Canadian serial killer Russel Williams was a colonel in the army and married.

5 out of how many? Ok, maybe op has a point.

I mean, they still make pop rocks…

More like he needs to know when to take a break when she’s most fertile so they can procreate. He’s already gone by the time she’s having “her time of the month”

Personal experience bets gen x.

Kava. I thought it was the way I was describing it. But they’ll go straight for hard liquor that tastes like shit.

Supposedly, if you deleted it during the blackouts… any sub that was down at the time of deletion, didn’t delete comments.

It’s still free for them. In their mind, that’s all that counts.

Can’t tell you how often I get a reminder to keep my eyes on the road, just because I repositioned my head, or tilted it down to stretch my neck. My eyes are on the road damn it. Now my car will turn off in the middle of the highway if i get a stiff neck…great.

Also, I had no idea subaru did this. I saw a recent article that mentioned a few big named car brands, and subaru wasnt included, so, i was naively hopefull. Plus, I realize im being recorded anyways, in an infinate amount of ways, but i didnt realize the car was in on it too. Wow, that sucks. I need to pay better attention, no pun intended.

You have a point. I sometimes definitely forget to consider the flip side of the coin.

Not at all. Back to that educating the public bit.

I’m not a tech wiz, but I do know my way around basic functions of a computer. If i have no* idea how it works or what it’s capable of, how are people who know next to nothing supposed to figure it out?

Well, shit. This explains a lot. But also, what chucklehead thought that was a good idea.

I know, now that you mention it, I vaguely remember something about how they didn’t think it should be kept only by some corps or something. Which is commendable but at the same time, ugh.

I have no problem with everyone being able to use it ,but there should have been an introductory period, if nothing else. Jeeze.

Whelp, fake everything here we…are.

Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I feel like anything produced by AI should be somehow watermarked at the source. At this point there’s only a handful of companies. It wouldn’t be too hard to have them all insert something into the final product that is easily identifiable. Something like a microscopic signature in a corner, with model info and date produced…idk. Not anything that ruins the image, but something that can be seen by anyone, if looked for.

If nothing else there should be a large push to inform the public of telltale features to look for (i.e. too many appendages) to help them determine if it’s created by AI or not. While not fool proof, if it can discount even a portion of the misinformation, imo, it’s worth an effort.

To me, it seems irresponsible of the companies running the AI to just unleash it upon the world without training us humans to understand what we’re looking at. Letting us see how realistic everything is while letting us know its been produced by AI, at least helps us to comprehend the scope of the matter and adapt to the situation at hand. Esp for those who don’t fully grasp what AI can and cannot do.

Which part is untrue? Didn’t they change the rules of bankruptcy like a decade ago or something?

It used to be that you could get all your loans discharged and in essence just end up with a really bad credit score. I thought they changed it so people still had to pay their debts off even if they declared bankruptcy.

Unsure if it applied to corporations though.

Apparently Bangor maine has a big outdoor backyard, is probably relatively cheaper than other places along the east coast and is supposedly pretty lbgtq friendly.

Although that is not south of Maryland. Nevemind.
