And I’ll bet if it fails the pump stops too and the whole board has to be replaced for $500+.

My electric toothbrush has bluetooth. How much free time does someone have to track and analyze their toothbrushing?
Sticking it in a toaster reminds me of when LCD clocks first came out. They stuck them in EVERYTHING. Even table lamps had little clocks stuck in them. Then when LED lights came out everything had to have super bright led lights all over them. One to show you it was off, one to show you it was on, etc, etc. Same with everyone had to have a website in the 90s or a mobile app later. Now everything has to be connected to the internet because, well they can. There is no real reason for it except marketing.

Just when I thought we have reached maximum ad saturation. Do they think these ads actually do anything anymore or is it just wishful thinking pushed by marketing execs? I’m waiting for electronic door locks to make you watch an ad to enter your home or car.

“They’re trying to have a CEO press a button that makes a game, and then everyone else somehow buys it without a job. So I don’t see that going anywhere sustainable, and I feel like there will simply be a pop and a reckoning and then [it’s on repeat] unless people do something else.”

To be fair $18 billion is not inconsequential. Meta Platform’s net income for the twelve months ending June 30, 2026 was $68.098 B so that is 26% of their net profits. A pretty severe hit.

I work in IT so I know how important it is to be absolutely, 100% clear about what you are saying. Same is true for things like medicine, engineering, pilots, etc. Setting X to 0 vs 1 can make a big difference.

Eh, I’ve had VERY mixed results. I’ve had it tell me information that I absolutely knew was wrong, and it did so with great confidence, until I copy and pasted the excerpt from the website and the URL back to it. It then goes, “Oh you’re right!” Ughhhh…

I tell folks to take what it tells you with a grain of salt because you can get it to agree with you no matter what, eventually. It will also confidently give you answers even if your question was vague or missing important specifications.

on Cloudflare says humans could become a "rounding error" as bots generate 1,000 times more internet traffic in c/technology@lemmy.world · 9 Aug 2026
You could say anything is human driven if you follow the thread far enough. I’d say if an automated process is cranking out hundreds of requests per minute then even though someone turned it on it still falls under a bot process. There is no human actually monitoring each request or interacting with it.
