  • Louis Rossmann is suing Samsung after firm offers $330 refund for defective SSD while selling the drives on Amazon for $949 — spat over 4TB 990 Pro SSD is headed to court

  • DoorDash supplanting meals on wheels is terrible. I don’t mean to argue otherwise.

    I think awareness of the options was really low, though. And that’s probally what I’m speaking to. And I expect my ignorance was shared. I see your point though. And I can see how I was speaking from ignorance there.

    While maybe more people are aware of a way to deliver food and basic supplies in the era of DoorDash, I never really meant to defend them. It just made sense to me that the pervasiveness of DoorDash is improving access. But it’s definitely not improving affordability. Not at all, holy shit.

  • Pizza every day isn’t great.

    And those other contexts were not as pervasive as DoorDash has become.

  • Well, it’s definitely tangential. The only overlap is how their refunds don’t actually fix anything and there is no path to actually addressing the original customer intent. A new order would be more money, and a gamble on the same error happening (maybe even intentional neglect by the people at the restaurant). And having to go out and get it yourself breaks the whole reason you engaged with the company at all.

    It’s a very broken customer service system they have. And it has to be that way to keep their margins.

  • It’s like DoorDash giving you a partial refund and not actually getting you what you ordered when there is a fuckup by the restaurant.

    How satisfied are you with your customer support? I didn’t get what I fucking ordered!

  • woof. Why can’t platforms just be themselves.

    Also, Twitter tried this under Elon and recently changed their minds after, I assume, it didn’t work out like they had hoped?

  • Kevin O’Leary says he will shrink his Utah AI data center project after political backlash / The “Shark Tank” mogul said he would cut the 40,000-acre project by roughly half in a letter sent Thursday…

  • lol, and it’s probally because someone got through to him that most of these projects look impossible to finish in a reasonable timeline. And that there is not yet proof that the demand will be there for what they are specifically building at the end of the timeline.

    He gets to act like he’s making a compromise when really he’s just covering his ass.

  • Tech giants are spending $700 billion to make AI a utility — but they can't even get the power turned on. AI could become even more ubiquitous.

  • 3D video isn’t a stepping stone for VR. It’s just one application that VR excels at.

    It’s like saying photographs are a stepping stone for screens.

  • For the 3D video one, VR headsets perfected it. It’s actually awesome now. And looks the best on the newest devices like the Vision Pro.

    But, VR devices are slow to catch on.

    Anyway. I say this to just note that 3D movies and video has continued to improve despite the format supposedly being dead in the eyes of your average consumer. Apple currently has the largest 3D movie selection ever assembled from one vendor. And it’s the only place to watch 3D in 4K. Blu-ray does not have a standard/specification that supports it.

    3D movies have been around for many many decades. And only recently have they become “perfected” from a visual fidelity POV. The hardware form factor needs more refinement though. I’m just reinforcing your point about how at least one of the technologies has not and will not go away.

  • Any of the companies framing it as a utility hope you don’t think too deeply about it.

  • GitHub just switched Copilot to metered billing, and developers are watching months of credits vanish in a single day

    Jump

  • I guess so. But the original definition was useful and encapsulated a specific thing. And then everyone discarding that definition is a bummer. But it’s not like there is anything to be done about it. And Doctoro has said he’s not too annoyed by it himself.

  • I’m not talking about ignorance here, just one of the facts about how Microsoft was being shitty.

    Are you defending Microsoft’s choice to be shitty? Or just excited to share how you knew better?

  • Spot on. And pointing at AGI or the singularity as the boogeyman instead of the handful of powerful men trying to capture a tool of authoritarian control is really obnoxious to see. People like Sam Altman and Elon Musk just want control of information flow. Among others.
