That will never happen unfortunately. Kickstarter got rid of NSFW because Visa and Mastercard are run by American religious extremists who want to criminalize porn.

You’d need a whole different international payment system that isn’t run or influenced by religious extremism.

America has a monopoly on payment processing worldwide. EU needs to step up their game

That’s not a user story. That’s a personal anecdote from over 5 years ago. The complaints you mentioned are not valid to the current hardware that is available to consumers right now. VR headsets are excellent for physical fitness. I use a VR headset for cardio and boxing games. I get a great workout and I don’t get bored. Qualcomm’s recent SOCs negate the need for a connected computer.

VR is also a game changer for racing games and flight simulators (all of which are seated and stationary and require no additional room).

The vast majority of people I work with in my organization have absolutely no idea what Firefox is or that there are other browsers. You, me, and everyone here is living in a bubble.

The Canadian government announced that there was no logical reason for RTO, and instead it is due to a philosophical belief. They don’t care. People don’t care.

I plug my S25 Ultra into my work dock and use my mechanical keyboard and ergo mouse to pay my bills. It’s honestly such a wonderful feature. I have like 5 apps open at the same time in small windows and it’s just so much nicer.

Install sunlight on my gaming desktop and then moonlight on my phone and now I’m playing AAA games with almost zero latency on my work setup. All powered by my phone. Very nice.

No worries! I did find employment not too far after but it definitely doesn’t pay anywhere near the same or provide nearly as good benefits but given the job market, I’m lucky to be employed.

On the bench takes me back to Accenture days. What a horrible time.

I’m sorry for your bros :/ I hope they find something soon. I’m rooting for them

Had you read all the words in my comment, you’d see I’m no longer at that job.

Nah I’m sorry you’re dead wrong. My last job we straight up got rid of 95% of our HR department and all of our interns and were replaced with ChatGPT Enterprise licenses. Then they laid off the graphic design department and left just the head of the department and 2 staff. Then I was laid off alongside over half of the IT department.

It’s Telus.

I steal your wife and if you get mad, just get another wife.

That’s great to hear.

My team has been asked like 4 times this year by other teams management if we could leverage copilot to do more or less that. Check the amount of windows they have open, check if their KPIs are being met based on their work, check if people are idle or are opening up non work tabs, etc.

It’s a chat bot it can’t even understand the words you type in. Nobody seems to understand that “AI” is just a chat bot.

Technically ya. Every single query any member of your M365 tenant has asked can be accessed through the admin section and Purview. But fortunately the higher up in rank you go, the less ability to understand computers.

We will hit peak stupid. I’m just wondering how many more years it will take for it.

No but I definitely should have haha. Would have improved my metrics.

One of the KPIs of my job is how well I integrate AI into my team. My boss automatically gets my AI usage from reports on the admin centre of our M365 instance. I was asked last week why I had 2 days of zero Copilot queries. I had to type up an explanation lest this gets recorded as me being non compliant.

Thinking I will need to build an agent that does some tangentially related questioning daily so that I don’t get written up or cross examined again.

I quit Spotify when I found that half of the music on random jazz playlists I’d listen to were all AI. My whole family told me I was full of shit and they’ve never encountered that haha. Caused a lot of drama since we have a family plan.
