It likely includes stuff like timezones, timers, alarms,supports multiple languages. The update could be fixing a typo in Hungarian translation for all I know, or fix layout for displaying timezones on ultra wide screen 🤷‍♂️

Software development is complex, even for seemingly most trivial things.

If you take one look at the app on the [windows store](Windows Clock - Free download and install on Windows | Microsoft Store https://share.google/4wV9U8aDXtMySbd0j) and see the screen shots, you’ll understand it does more than display time.

All apps need updates as new features are added. The problem on windows the updates are slow and UX is poor.

Nobody’s complaining about android clock needing updates, because they’re seamless.

+10.i like technology itself, although a lot of time it’s executed /implemented poorly.

AI is a very broad term that includes more than machine learning. Assuming you mean LLM

The differences are:

• it does not learn from experience like humans do. They learn by training, which is separate from conversation where context window is limited
• they only learn from text (thus name Language Model), so they do not understand other inputs like touch, sight, sound, taste, and many others
• they do not think critically, take all input at face value, particularly that LLM cannot corroborate input information with experience from real world

Also if you cannot tell difference between real human and AI it’s only because your interaction with AI is limited to text. If you can meet it like a real human, it’ll be obvious that it’s a computer not a person. If the image is blurry/pixelated enough, you couldn’t tell a car from a house, that doesn’t mean cars have become indistinguishable from houses.

Electric kettle is used more frequently than the coffee maker, and takes up less space. It’s faster too. I think it’s 2kw, while microwave is 800w. There are more powerful kettles too, up to 3kw i think.

That’s cycling distance. A nice bike ride to pickup shopping.

“change plans to watch the movie”? As in, i planned to watch it, but now I won’t?

Because most places you’d use it already has free WiFi (home, office, train, coffee shop, etc), and everywhere else you can just tether from the phone, so there’s no point paying a separate bill just for the laptop.

But you can still get a laptop with lte, it’s an option if you need it. My x1 yoga has a sim slot. Or you can get a usb dongle.

If you answer in the language you know best, it’ll be easier to others to understand or translate, especially if it’s English.

You could translate your message to match the language of the comment, but if you don’t know the language, how can you know if it conveys your message correctly?

Overall, I’d say it depends on the specific community. If you try to inject yourself into a conversation in a Japanese language community, it may indeed come off as rude or ignorant.

The best solution may be to post in both languages?

Most people just use the web interface

The thing about email is that the software is proprietary. Each of these providers has their own implementation of the interface, features, and integration with their tools (Google drive, photos, etc).

As long as lemmy servers run lemmy software, this won’t happen, or at least won’t be an issue as you can move to another server and not have to change your usage habits.

However if some server owners decide to fork Lemmy and develop their proprietary server, overhaul the UI, add features and attract users, it will start to become a problem.

Notably, roomba vacuum cleaners use cameras instead of lidar that other robot vacuums use. I bought a high end roomba a couple months ago and it was crap at navigating my home, while my old xiaomi with a lidar works perfectly fine. Needless to say i returned the roomba.

Someone made a mural in Brazil but it was removed for safety.

Obvious it’s blow dart

In Ireland it’s common to say “not too bad”

If you’re buying on ebay and use PayPal, PayPal provides the consumer protection. That’s been my experience anyway.

In the US it’s called “tipping”

Beg for food, and then not eating it, letting it go to waste.

I’m pretty sure those games and movies are age-restricted.

A lot, but Putin doesn’t care
