👍 point. The high-power appliances must be more efficient.

I’ve preferred toughness.

My Sony wired earphones broke.

Some dislike Marques.

My most negative stuff re him has been his seemingly overpriced Atoms. $ 189.

But his 📱 awards are still 👍.

He picked the iPhone 17 as his 📱 of 2025. Some will disagree.

He picked the iPhone air as his Best design. Some will disagree.

Yes this isn’t a new thing. Weeks ago I read a headline talking re a Microsoft ad in the Windows lock screen. I didn’t have ads in my lock screen but I can imagine the annoyance for those who had ads.

Windows 11 didn’t enable Onedrive in my Documents, Pictures and others. I’ve used local storage since I bought my 💻. I hope Windows 11 won’t suddenly enable Onedrive. Folks will riot if they’ll do such a 💩 act.

No. The promotions annoyed me but not extremely. Anyway, it’s been 👍 to know I could always switch to Linux. There’s @level1linux if I wanna know more re Linux. I think Wendell’s an expert.

When Chatgpt 1st shook the tech world, I said thanks and please. Then at some point I stopped. I’ve just wanted to enter my prompt very fast. Grok 3 and Claude 3.7 sonnet (extended thinking) have been my go-to llm but when in a hurry, I just use the Gemini voice assistant or Meta ai – I have the Messenger app.

Me too. If Chatgpt is like this, it won’t be as controversial as Google’s glue pizza.

Lately I viewed Close encounters of the 3rd kind. Hasn’t been my cup of tea. Boring plot.

But I’ve liked the time dilation aspect. The previously missing didn’t age. Maybe their velocity was so high relative to Earth’s velocity before landing on Earth. Maybe they were near a supermassive black hole. Maybe both?

It’s a flick so maybe it was magic, not time dilation.
