  2. "The Rubik's Cube has been reimagined as a $299 tech gadget featuring 24 mini IPS screens, a gyroscope, accelerometer, speakers, and Bluetooth connectivity."

  3. It is so aggravating that every phone update, I have to spend ten minutes uninstalling unwanted apps, checking to be sure settings haven't been altered, and squinting at whatever AI features are being pushed to make sure I'm opted out of them all. Makes me miss DOS, so it does.

  4. This is why we need #tech literacy. This recipe site wants you to pay $2.99 USD to “print” the recipe.

    To print. The recipe. That’s literally on the web page. For free.

    Super+P and “Save as PDF.” You’re welcome.

    Wut? Am I missing something?

  5. Holy crap this looks like a privacy catastrophe from the moment you put this data miner on. There is no need for this technology. It solves no pressing problems.

  11. FFS! I use my phone to text, listen to podcasts, check social media on the toilet, take the odd snapshot, and, on rare occasions, make phone calls. I don't need or want whatever $1,500 worth of phone buys me.
