The moment this shit appears on mine I‘m buying an Apple TV.

Until the first few break down and you need to buy new ones, just to realize they are different from the ones you have by now (or discontinued outright).

Yeah, considering it’s such a major update none of them will work this seems a very prudent thing to do.

Total Commander. Has been for two decades on PC and near one on Android. Not beautiful, but so useful.

It doesn’t check the stuff it generates other than on grammatical and orthographical errors. It’s not intelligent or has knowledge outside of how to create text. The text looks useful, but it doesn’t know what it contains in a way something intelligent would.

Which means it does need outside help (even passive help).

I’m totally a bot

Vox Media was the owner since the beginning. The founders of The Verge went to the owner of SB Nations after leaving Engadget. It is part of Vox Media since the beginning.

Standards can be updated. Like the EU standard was from Micro-USB to USB-C. It happens all the time in all fields of technology.

So? Reddit has about 10 sizeable Subs that are just a variation of “Ask Any and All Questions”. That’s not even counting speciality subs like “MedicalQuestions” or “ITQuestions” or “DermatologyQuestions” or “AskTrangender”. Or the different language ones like “FragReddit” (German). In the end 1-3 will become the major ones, all will be a bit different and everyone will find the ones they like most.

Cargo shorts are back in style since last year by the way. Part of the general Nineties revival.

This has nothing to do with EV, it has to do with extremely overcharing customers. A BMW fender could run you 5000 just for the part. My fiancee worked in the automotive sector so she has the gross prices: under 100 Euros.

I have apparently 200 I never knew about.

Sans the tomatoes (from the Americas after all) Pizza has been around at least 2000 years ago: https://www.reuters.com/lifestyle/pizza-painting-found-ancient-roman-ruins-pompeii-2023-06-27/

We also have a written account of Persian soldiers using their shields to bake a flatbread with cheese and dates on top from the 6th century BC, which one could count as Pizza.

It has been around for 10 years and 4 phones by now, and only gaining in popularity and market share. No reason to predict an early demise yet. The Fairphone 1 controversially only received 3 years of updates, but since then it’s 5 years.
