For most of these events an internet connection isn't necessary at all.

My machine shows the time that is needed for the program when I start it. I know when it will be finished right from the beginning. There's no surprise, no message necessary. If I tend to forget the time, then I can set a reminder in my smartphone.

I can program the machine while I load it to start the washing later. Why load the machine but then program it from a distance? Makes no sense.

Detergent is filled in before each washing cycle. There's nothing to be depleted.

A maintenance or problem alert would be the only thing that could be worth a message function. But: My machine works without problems for 15 years now. So: what should it be messaging me? We can really live better without these useless electronics that only push up the price and the distraction.

I didn't say there's no difference in the technology used. But the results are quite comparable at the moment. Maybe that can be changed and further developed in future. But is much much more dangerous to implant than to put a cap on your head. So I say don't be fooled by the marketing of Neuralink.

I say in every art form you'll find more copies than originals. Literature, cinema, paintings, photography, music... Everybody who's creative is copying and reusing and recombining and sampling and synthesizing ideas.

And that's true also for computer generated art.

The difference is that it's hardly possible to claim ownership for a picture or a video that was automatically generated by algorithms.

He's obviously desperately trying to revive the image of being a genius again. But everybody knows what kind of charlatan he is.

This isn't a problem if you're still using Windows 7! ;-)

They sell ink for higher prices than champagne. And make it impossible to use third party ink.

It quite clearly seems to be some kind of public beta test product and enough rich people seem to be happy to pay for being the test hamsters.
