    Can you tell that to my pair of AirPods Pros? The amount of times only one of the in-ears decides to connect to my phone or laptop is just plain infuriating. All those devices support Bluetooth 5.0, but reliable is not the word I’d use to describe my experience.

    Same for stuff like file transfers between my phone and laptop, I’m sick of that generic “file transfer failed” message without any helpful hint as to what went wrong this time. A cable is reliable, Bluetooth is definitely not in my personal experience. Sorry.


  • But they are still using Bluetooth right? That’s a hard nope, it must be my personal dark aura or something, but Bluetooth devices just refuse to work reliably for me. I just don’t want to deal with that anymore.

    I really miss the good old jack port, not only does it just work, you can both charge your phone and listen to something at the same time as I do often in the evening. Having the charging port double as the headphone connector is such a step backwards.

    A singer in our country had the agreement that he would only sing on an event for Jewish kids if there were no political statements being made during his performance. So of course the first thing he noticed was a stand handing out pro-Zionist pamphlets.

    He got on stage, explained that that agreement was violated, therefore couldn’t perform and as a result got called anti-Semetic by one of our political leaders. Which resulted in the artist having to go into hiding, as he now started receiving death threats. The, in my opinion, gigantic piece of trash that called him out insists she did nothing wrong. Because taking responsibility for your actions and words is only something others need to do of course.

    So… Insisting agreements with Jewish organisations are followed: you fucking anti-Semite.


  • Musk maintains that camera-only technology is the most “human” way to approach self-driving, since people use their eyes to navigate the road.

    A few years ago I was driving on the motorway, came up on a bend in the road and was greeted by a dense freak fog bank out of nowhere. I immediately let go of the accelerator to reduce speed, at the same time my dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree and a collision alert started blaring. That gave me enough time to apply the brakes and prevent a collision with the first and only traffic jam I’ve ever seen there.

    I see no reason to not augment our own capabilities with radar and lidar, to see what we as humans can’t.
