Finally, a sane response. Of course they'll "sound similar" because they're both female voices attempting to come off as friendly with an American accent.

I'm more on the side of opposing AI implementations but people are really reaching with this one. I'm assuming it was pulled just so they can get their legal defense in order.

This will be another case like any other, where they take it to court, and there is no real basis for anything

Because then they'll give up whoever it was that they used to voice the AI and it'll be mostly over. The thing is though that if they rush into a lawsuit too eagerly, nobody's going to want to work with them under a similar contract.

What are the job titles of the people on these teams? I would suppose physics and CS. How are those job sectors looking in terms of vacancies? I'd think that there are more workers than jobs and that this is a ploy to get less experienced people for cheaper but they're trying to rehire the same employees.

Nobody wants to make and maintain an account for every place they want to pay something for.

They could have replaced "check" with "cash". Same idea.

by up to 45% on SSDs

Excuse me, what!?!

I wonder where the average is for the performance reduction. Probably something I'll look into but I'd be pissed if I bought a drive and instantly lost even 20%.

Luckily, I'm not on Windows so I have nothing to really worry about but damn.

Most definitely. They were complaining about them not making a profit, and they really thought blaming the few people using an Adblock made sense.

It's all to get more Premium subscriptions. The ads are an intentional problem with the "obvious solution" being advertised right there on the homepage.

The data being generated now sure, but there's still the years of actually useful data there.

Then add on the remaining half of comments that are from sensible users and it's a decent, and still fairly unique, dataset.

Google just doesn’t know what the fuck they are doing

Can you send this to Google:

"See Apple Pay and the Wallet app on iOS."

I really don't understand how they can see another company doing things right and still be this lackluster. Copying the good things their competition does it a good thing sometimes.

It still irks me. I guess it's just me having rinsed my entire life.

I've heard both, but I can't not rinse after brushing. Any taste of actual toothpaste in my mouth is unsettling to me.

Even if you buy it(which I do support more and more), pirate it. We're at a point where it's just far easier to use the pirated versions of a lot of digital items and you also don't have to worry about someone "taking it back" afterwards.
