I expect there will be more talk about unionizing software developers in the near future. 

Like I need another device in my pocket.
In few months the company will pivot to a service without hardware, lay off most of staff, and few months down the line it will sell the “assets”.
This could have some tiny chance if it was a watch replacement, but probably battery is a limitation.
And privacy implications are…

That is very easy, just make really small production runs.

Yes, I use Google Assistant to set timers, reminders, turn lights and other stuff on/off and and play music. Usually with 95% or better accuracy. I dread the moment it will switch to actual AI and start interpreting my commands more liberally.
I am not saying these Siri, Alexa or GA aren’t useful. They are just not the…

Oh I see, poison tipped needles are clearly labelled.

AHAHAHeffinHA
It is like “Dumb and Dumber”, “So there is a chance?”

“online party shooter” sounds like something that should involve shots of booze.

Wait no more FF remakes for me to waste my money on?

I haven’t found it particularly playable to begin with.

Siri will be smarter any day now after they add AI to it as well so it will become unusable as well but Apple doesn’t kill products (or they would…

But now every BU needs to show profit otherwise they get RIFed.

Alexa spell “I cup”. According to my kid.

There is also paid alexa for kids. Thank you for reminding me to cancel it.

The article does not describe Google search. It describes product search on Google.
Which, granted is what makes money. But it is not all that people search for on Google.

iFixit has a good supply of genuine parts of multiple generations of Pixel devices.

But why do I need it? My TV is out of the way by the wall and never bothers me at all. This is a solution searching for a problem.

You should try yellow wood sorrel. It spreads from tiniest seeds and also has underground bulbs and grows everyeffinwhere.
