The issue is, they’ve raised prices faster than inflation and still expect people to tip. Not only are we expected to tip, it pops up automatically on the screen at 25%+, so we actively have to choose to screw over the cashier and look like an asshole if we want to change it. And that’s for pickup! Why am I tipping…

I use Alexa extensively to control lights throughout the house, but most of them are following daily schedules (outdoor floodlights coming on at night for security), or controlled by motion sensors, all of which I set up as Alexa Routines. Most rooms of the house I have motion sensors turning lights on and that works…

Aliens just wanna fuck in their holodecks, not be bothered by a planet whose superpower is about to elect a sociopathic manchild a second time.

90% of my usage of Alexa is in some form of light command. “Alexa, turn on the lights”. “Alexa, set the lights to 50%”. “Alexa, turn off the lights”. When the grandbaby is here, we might occassionally use “Alexa, play <insert song here>” but that’s mostly through Spotify. I don’t really need my device to be any…

Is it?

Ahhhhh, I had thought both took place at the same general time period. Thank you for the correction! That’s helpful because I had been generally wondering why no one was talking about the Nihil or Drengir. But I’m still in the phase 1 stuff so I don’t know what comes next so couldn’t judge if that was weird or not. 

Did anyone else notice it looked like Plo Koon was in a background shot?

That actually happened a few months ago. Unfortunately don’t know why it happened either, though I too hope the next place Gizmodo ends up will have avatars back.

I was on a flight last week out to California sitting next to a gentleman who wore his Vision Pro the entire time. Did it look goofy? Yes. Was I intrigued? A bit. Do I want one? No. I’m waiting to see the technology build up and actually show value in it’s use. Right now, I feel the Vision Pro is this generation’s…

Gizmodo was recently bought out by a separate company that now owns us and not Kotaku, so yeah we’re gonna be covering gaming news separately now. 

Everybody keeps talking about new Doctor Who. I keep checking PBS at 10PM on Sundays and it is not on there??!!

This isn’t CNN you dumb fuck. This is a blog, and they have been injecting their personal views since forever. Either you’re ignoring that, or you somehow didn’t notice that.

Hopefully it'll pull a Hi Fi Rush and come over to PS before XBox closes Machine Games too

Same here, but I did see this recently: https://www.theverge.com/2024/2/4/24057433/microsoft-bethesda-indiana-jones-and-the-great-circle-ps5-release

She wants time off to spend with her friends:

She played Kate Austen, not Kate Bishop. Kate Bishop is Hawkeye.

Apple ditched the click wheel in 2010.  Sad to say but an 11 year old is going to look at that like its ancient tech.

All the government workers didn’t take time out of their day to show up, it IS their job to show up every day.

Another proposed solution, just set proper speed limits. None of this “People drive 10 over, so if we want them to go 75 we set the speed limit at 65“.

I love VR and play games / use apps in VR almost daily , and I too can enjoy never being able to play this either!
