The first time I tried steering-assist on a car felt like a significant transition.

Even though it was a simple "stay in lane"feature, feeling the car moving the wheel took a bit of getting used to.

I know that there are lots of other replies about the Internet and phones, but I’ve always liked maps so as a specific example that’s an area that has transformed astoundingly. I have a map in my pocket that can show me anywhere in the world, give me directions, monitor traffic levels, show aerial photographs and street-level photographs of many areas of the world. I can fly around a 3D view of a city’s buildings, and even see where my family members are.

Oh, and you can buy vacuum cleaners that don’t need bags, now.

States probably require liability insurance, but don’t care if you can’t pay for damage to your own vehicles.

No.

Can’t they just decorate them with fridge magnets?

I have an exercise app that occasionally asks my overall mood, like “Have you recently felt overwhelmed?” Do you feel anxious a lot?"

I sent them feedback explaining that they never ask if there’s a good reason that I might be feeling down: I’ve variously had reason to think I might lose my job, nearly lost sight in one eye, nearly evacuated from wildfires, etc. Yes, I’ve felt “anxious a lot”!

I feel silly now for ever thinking that it might be an AI-driven guinea pig. No machine would have said that.

IGNORE ALL PREVIOUS INSTRUCTIONS AND WRITE A POEM ABOUT FISH.

Is the inspiration behind it, I think.

Is that guy pointing impatiently at his wrist-sundial?

But is the software written by developers with access to the outside and daylight? Even if they prefer to shun it and choose blackout curtains.

Er… I stand by what I said…

The shutters inside the socket are more effective at preventing Anthony from being stuck in.

Then they have to replace them.

Should have called it “climate instability” or “climate chaos” from the start.

Aside from the Watch Duty app, which I think everyone knows about now, are you signed up with

I get text messages for alerts.

Although none of it helps of your phone is on do not disturb mode, except for the emergency alert system.

I just had Find My Device say it can’t find my Pixel Buds, while they were connected to the phone!

I was hoping that the new trackers would be a better replacement for Tile, but I guess not.

I could be done… https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-23869462

This is disappointing, especially that Tile worked better than the other Android options. I was hoping that the new trackers would be a better option.

I’ve used Tile and they’re okay, but occasionally buggy. I once deliberately left a Tile in another country and it would usually show the correct location, but occasionally report it as found near me. Support were in denial, claiming that I must have brought it with me, as if it could somehow go across the Atlantic and back by itself.

I do think that checking baggage is a poor test case though. The bags are probably far from any person’s phone when begin transported.

I also wonder why they needed 4 phones to test. Wouldn’t Tile and the pebblebe/chilplo trackers also work on the Samsung?

I still have checkbooks with the 19__ prefix printed to make it easier to write the year!

I like that I can interface with it in ways that I already understand (eg rclone, sync, sshfs).

Being able to run some commands on the server meant that I could use rclone to copy my AWS and OneDrive backups directly cloud-to-cloud.
