Plagued Consoomers / Consoomer Culture - Because if it has a recogniseable brand on it, I’d buy it!

A tech reviewer called an AI device shit. Here's a pretty funny reaction by [product]'s white knight who's mad at him for doing his job by telling the truth.
Tech bros really are some of the most obnoxious consoomer faggots. Always willing to simp for new products no matter how shit they are as long as they have new tech. Back when Google Glass was coming out, these same retards were willing to spend more than a thousand dollars on what was clearly just a prototype.
 
You ready for AI-powered academic dishonesty? You bet your ass alpha gen is going to use Chat GPT for essay writing.
A teacher friend has already switched to all hand written and in class only. Her eyes are bleeding because these kids have atrocious handwriting though. She says she's just waiting for IEPs demanding AI assist for speds. Must suck to be a teacher in this era.
 
When it comes to technology the only winning move is not to play. We hit a peak where our intrinsic humanity and tech were in a proper relationship roughly in the mid to late 2000s, and everything afterwards has been either gimmicks or completely worthless and equally harmful surveillance tools under this or that guise. This AI grift is no different. Seriously, just check out from tech. It's meaningless to buy or consume any of it. Many tech companies will probably go under or consolidate to a profound degree in the near future because everything worth inventing and having has already been done. This is why gimmicks like AI, that Apple VR googles shit and so on and on is being pushed by the companies. The gravy train has run out, it actually is over and that's great.

I feel strongly about this. I have an old IBM Thinkpad (R500) from circa 2011 or so with 2Gb of RAM and a Centrino Duo CPU with Linux on it and I sometimes use it just for shits and giggles, and it works perfectly as a multimedia and Internet machine. There is literally no difference whatsoever from my Acer running Ryzen something-something and 16Gb of RAM I bought last year. There is nothing theoretical about this to me. Unless you're a genuine retard who still uses Windows and plays vidya your tech journey is essentially over and AT WORST inexpensive to a profound degree. We're in an Apple situation, the Iphone situation, where only the dumb will "upgrade" like the stupid cattle that they are and buy new hardware when Microsoft or some other grifter company demands it.

Looks like the thing he's reviewing is the Rabbit, which was showcased at this year's CES back in January. In this article from The Verge the author says the one device the company had on display didn't actually do much of anything and blamed it on "spotty hotel Wifi". It was a piece of shit back then and surprise surprise it's still a piece of shit that basically does everything that Siri or Google Assistant does except somehow worse.

Agreed, this is an issue of quantity that has turned into an issue of quality and the excuse of "well we had [technology] in the past so this should be no different" doesn't work anymore
How much piss in the pool is acceptable? How much piss before the pool is majority piss?
 
One of my customers has the AI pin and the fact that he literally can’t set a timer on it is batshit insane.

You can build a device that can connect to the internet, send photo data to be analyzed in near real time, project its display onto your hand, etc, but you literally can’t set a timer on it. Those sort of basic features are crucial and just not there.

He def has buyers remorse.

I think the more advanced these gadgets become and the more disconnected people become from the world, the more they straight up forget about basic functions because they don't use em

>OOOH IT CAN CONNECT TO THE INTERNET YOU CAN WANK TO PORN ON THE TRAIN AND-

>What the hell for?
>To boil an egg?

The irony is he bought it to use in his kitchen at work as a chef. All the hype for how it could look up recipes, identify ingredients by sight, stuff like that…. That’s what sold it bc it sounded like the perfect hands free device in a phone free environment.

But in all that hype he just assumed basic features would be included.

Not to mention the lag makes using it with an online timer app of some sort near impossible. It takes it 15 seconds to figure out what time it is when asked.
 
I'm taking she has rich parents or something since that shit cost a lot. It's always nice seeing parents wanting to make their kids happy, but there has to be a line between making them happy and buying them junk they will eventually sell on eBay later.
They could at least buy them a bed vs having a mattress on the floor. Just your usual weeaboo slob.
A better talk piece than.. baseball cards?
Wheaties boxes were kinda a big deal back in the 80s - 90s if your local team and/or star player was featured on them. There's people around here that still have the boxes when the Twins won the world series in 87 and 91.

I am reminded of the scene from Spy Kids where the kid gets that cool spy watch that does everything except actually tell the time.
 
How do you have a computer-based device, that calculates to work, with no calculator?
At least in the good old days, back when devices like watches had specialized processors, not all of them were capable of general arithmetic in hardware. Believe it or not, all of addition and subtraction, and especially multiplication and division, aren't innate to computers. Digital computers really just manipulate patterns of digits, and these can have any meaning.

Unfortunately, I can't find the document describing an interesting processor that could only increment numbers, so instead I'll share some information about an IBM machine. I only knew it as the IBM CADET, this was apparently a joking name for the IBM 1620, meaning Can't Add, Doesn't Even Try, this name was given because it had no hardware addition instruction; it just took both digits and indexed into a table.

Still, that's no excuse for a piece of shit that was probably running Android.

Oh no, it is a grandmaphone (like a worse version of mid-2005 phone, but new, usually 2 sims), they have their own oc's.
I got few due to stuff. Two have variants of same OC, one has calculator, other does not.

And thanks for cool info ^^
 
Is this a storage capacity issue with the Switch? Like he needs all those devices to have all those games on the ready?
I'm guessing it's the fact that Pokemon release 2 games per gen that are virtually identical and he wants to play both on different Switches to use the multiplayer features. But that would explain the need for 2 Switches, so my theory is it evolved from there.

He actually doesn't. Pokesperging a bit, but Pokemon Home stores and transfers pokemon. He could have kept them on a single switch and just swapped them that way. The only reason he would really need a second switch is to do trades for those who evo when traded and even then, there are discords for people who do that for free. He just wanted a second switch.
