It’s a good point/observation.

Makes me wonder how different things might be if the mainstream media were more neutral and less prone to sensationalising everything and stirring outrage.

Social media just adds another layer on top of this.

This would be a win for Facebook and Twitter/X.

Damn, haven’t thought about that book for many years.

The concept behind the story seems a lot less fictional/unlikely than it used to 20yrs ago!

“Analyzing several high-profile accidents involving complex and automated socio-technical systems and the media coverage that surrounded them, I introduce the concept of a moral crumple zone to describe how responsibility for an action may be misattributed to a human actor who had limited control over the behavior of an automated or autonomous system. Just as the crumple zone in a car is designed to absorb the force of impact in a crash, the human in a highly complex and automated system may become simply a component—accidentally or intentionally—that bears the brunt of the moral and legal responsibilities when the overall system malfunctions. While the crumple zone in a car is meant to protect the human driver, the moral crumple zone protects the integrity of the technological system, at the expense of the nearest human operator.”<

Great. Humans taking the fall for technology.

Thanks for sharing.

All too often the free and open alternatives (or these days even just the non-subscription alternatives!) involve compromising some features or convenience.

But not always.

Same as Australian carriers. Mine is $A10 /day (about $7 USD). If you’re travelling for a long time the cost can eventually add up and it’s possible to get some cheaper travel sims. But it’s just so much easier to not do anything and use your phone as normal.

Big improvement from the old days of roaming.

For me, I think adding Projectivity Launcher over the top of it took it from a good device to a great one.

It’s let me customise the thing just how I want it.

As for voice, I find it handy rather than typing text with the remote when searching in YouTube etc.

It’s long, but well worth the read.

Sounds like you don’t want to do this, but I am loving my Nvidia Shield TV Pro.

I’ve installed Projectivity Launcher on it and all the apps I want. It’s such a smooth, clean experience.

Whether it’s Netflix, Tivimate, Kodi or Plex, it all runs super smoothly, no stutters, no ads. Highly recommend.

The backlit, voice capable remote is really nice too.

Totally agree. Wish I hadn’t chosen the dream home perk

1. Because it’s empty and I couldn’t be bothered mining resources and making stuff

2. Because that house is in the middle of nowhere

3. The Vanguard quest gave me a free penthouse in New Atlantis which I like better

But of course that penthouse is also empty and I don’t even have the option to make a double bed for some reason (sorry Sarah!)

So I just use my room in constellation as home.

Only kids and teens? Pretty much everyone around here has their head down starting at one.

Is this a surprise to anyone?

This was already my understanding when I got the first pre-release one in 2014.

In that time, it has mainly learned how to"dim the living area lights to 50%" and “set the AC to 22 degrees”. That is about 99% of it’s use.

Wonder if that’s helped it’s AI much…

Nice, I’ve been using it for years and didn’t even know about this feature!

Train goes onto ship, ship sails out, train continues on the other end :)

I’m not the OP, but I had wondered the same thing. After already seeing up the other *arr’s I couldn’t work out the point of Prowlarr.

Re your comment about resource constrained, I have just started using Sonarr and Radarr on a Pi4. They seem to work OK. Had installed but not set up Prowlarr yet. Hopefully that wouldn’t slow things down if I used it to sync the other apps.

• Skyrim
• Mass Effect
• Assassin’s Creed
• Witcher
• Cyberpunk 2077

Yeah, I’m guessing I’m the right audience for Starfield :)

That said, I liked but didn’t love No Man’s Sky. Wandered around and got a bit bored. Tried a few times to get more into it but couldn’t.

I’ve never had a Facebook account, I’ve never had an insta account, but I do use WhatsApp.

Pretty much everyone I know whether old or young uses WhatsApp. When I was travelling, a lot of apartments, hotels and booking services used it too.

Seems to be the one messaging app that cuts across all generations, countries and also the Android/IOS divide.
