Re: No, I Won't Buy You A Coffee

Weighing in on the buy me a coffee debate between HakkerBlog and Gordon McLean, I land somewhere in the middle: they feel dated and a bit tacky to me, but I'm not bothered by them on other sites, and I skip them on mine because I'd rather use the space for something that actually matters.

It took a few years, but Apple finally made its AI look useful. Now millions of iPhone users in Europe are being told they won't be getting Siri AI anytime soon, if ever - and Apple wants them to blame the EU.

🔗 Apple wants Europe to blink

Ha ha ha I'm not sure if I'm out of touch or if Apple is out of touch but do they really think the masses are chomping at the bit to get AI inserted into every aspect of their digital lives??

📺 Star Trek: Strange New Worlds S3 (2022)

I just finished Star Trek: Strange New Worlds Season 3

I enjoyed this more than I expected. It takes a while to warm up to Billy but he grows on you.
