@microsoft.com used to have newer, better codecs for video and images that you could install for free.
Now, they falsely claim that it will not work on your computer, despite meeting all the requirements.
Also, MS you suck for not allowing the highlighting of text in the MS store for copy & paste

Installing a stove and found a paper block on the terminals.
I asked LG if I could remove it, but the answer seemed awfully ai-like.
It also contradicted some of their sample install videos.
What do you think?
#LG #appliance #oven #electrical
I will post excerpts from the chat

This is terrible UX. I have no idea what the second option is.
I was prompted when my phone updated.
I assume the second is "Opt Out" forever, but I thought I already tried that. Need an "opt out forever and never ask me to change my mind" option.

Someone claimed we're not heading toward an ai bubble, but this response is spot on when comparing it to the dotcom bubble.
dotcom companies tried to sell something and failed. ai companies (at least main providers) have the money & user base to force ai into our lives, and count us as ai users.

The “Snap, Crackle, Pop” slogan was in use as early as 1929, with “New! A cereal so crips it actually crackles in cream!”

Bluesky moderation needs to toughen up. This is not intolerance. This is empathy (/s?) for how someone feels because that someone has never been held accountable.

It has limited examples, fake examples, and some of the docs are for as-of-yet unreleased features. The latter makes for a terrible experience when trying to implement their tools and being gaslit that something exists when it does not. 🤬

#Qdoba has a deal, but the terms are weird
In summary, "Purchase $45 in gift cards, get $10 digital bonus."
Immediately after that, it says you will receive $10 bonus for each increment of $50 you purchase in gift cards...

Trying out Relic Hunters on Xbox, and was greeted with a very bright screen.
But then I saw in the options (pic 1) that they have dark mode! Nice. It toned down the title screen.
It suggests I play the intro story to get a feel for the game, so I said yes and was immediately thrown into Pic 2

not sure when these settings dropped in windows 11, but disable it. seems to control the recall garbage. (probably won't be able to do it in an enterprise scenario, but you may be able to see if they're snooping.)

It's quite hilarious how they say you need their branded spyware in order to do something we've gotten from many capable tools over the years, including gimp and vs code. (I could name another well known brand that's paid, but they're ai-batty too.)

I asked before, never got an answer. When I look on the MS Store page, it revealed the answer.
Snipping Tool uses AI, not OCR, and now I have to stop using it.
I assume it's for the text actions, but there's no warning. Just that stupid rainbow border crap that other vendors use.

don't forget to disable the agentai preview in #Postman.
the stupid feature wouldn't let me close its stupid dialog until i searched for "close this stupid window," then it still wanted me to agree to terms of service.
no thanks
