  • My personal take is this used to happen to me all the time because I am actually actively listening to the entire content of what the other person is saying, then trying to formulate the next thing to say based on that. Do that and you'll constantly miss your turn at conversation. Just vibe with whatever is being said and then respond to just the last sentence or last few words you heard right before the person stopped talking. Neurotypical people pretty rarely hear/remember much of exactly what someone else had said, they "feel" it internally as the words come at them, pick up a keyword or two from the last few words spoken, and carry on from there. Start doing that and you'll respond in time with their pace.

  • The Clicks Communicator stumbled by marketing itself as a "second phone". It has everything I want out of a "real" phone, no AI push, and it's small. I'm going to try it as my next (only) phone.

  • Yeah it's a cool device, whoever is pitching it though needs to realize why people might actually want one. Cause it's the reasons you said, it's a cute little device that's different, inexpensive, tough, and with features that other phones have taken away. "Teeny low-cost android phone with a keyboard and audio jack" would be way better positioning for them than this "second phone" and "productivity device" silliness. But for real at that launch price I might have to roll the dice on one and see if they actually managed to make something that doesn't feel like baby's first kickstarter blackberry clone lol.

  • This looks cool but what exactly is it doing to be productivity focused other than having a screen that would suck to watch videos on and a keyboard that never goes away?

    The reason the Blackberry was adopted as a work productivity device was because other mobile options you had to type using T9 and with a Blackberry you could get your emailing done on a mobile device. But that's been every phone now for almost 20 years.

    So I get it as something nice for people who are nostalgic for Blackberries, but Click's focus on this somehow being "communication focused" while a smartphone is, I guess, not, doesn't make much sense to me.

  • How do you successfully maintain a calorie deficit over the long run?

    Jump

  • OMAD or IF works really well for a lot of people. What you eat and when you eat are critical, not just how many calories are going in and out. CICO is far from the whole story when it comes to metabolism and your endocrine system.

  • Idk, I just don't see the use case

    Jump

  • Other than "not seeing the use case" I think the meme is right on. People hate Windows but don't want to deal with Linux, people hate being trapped in the walled gardens of Microsoft or Sony consoles, but don't want to deal with a full-on gaming PC. Kinda like how when iPads came out people where like, this is worse than a phone and worse than a laptop, who are these things even for?

  • In defiant flyover, U.S. F-18 fighter jets enter Venezuelan airspace for 40 minutes

    Jump

  • Trump is trying to get an F-18 shot down, just the same as he was praying a nat'l guard member would get shot down, so he can justify doing whatever the fuck he wants.

  • I Went All-In on AI. The MIT Study Is Right.

    Jump

  • They are useful for doing the kind of boilerplate boring stuff that any good dev should have largely optimized and automated already. If it's 1) dead simple and 2) extremely common, then yeah an LLM can code for you, but ask yourself why you don't have a time-saving solution for those common tasks already in place? As with anything LLM, it's decent at replicating how humans in general have responded to a given problem, if the problem is not too complex and not too rare, and not much else.

  • ‘End-to-end encrypted’ smart toilet camera is not actually end-to-end encrypted

    Jump

  • I don't like to judge idiots too harshly, but if you bought a product marketed as an encrypted toilet camera you deserve whatever happens to you

  • pressure cook some whole oats (like the kind they sell for horses, not rolled oats/oatmeal), spawn on that in mason jars, then transfer to a bed of pressure-cooked coco coir when fully colonized, mix, cover, and wait.

  • YSK about Project 100,000, when the US conscripted people with mental disabilities to be used as cannon fodder in Vietnam, suffering triple the casualties of other soldiers

    Jump

  • Yeah this is the kind of shit you literally couldn't put into a fictional movie because viewers would not buy that a first-world democracy would do that to their citizens. You'd need an intentionally over-the-top cartoonishly evil fictional entity like Vault-Tec to even approach a "Moron Corps" scenario in fiction...

  • Where I live I see mom and dad getting pulled over all the time for going 30 in a 25 on the way to drop Little Timmy off at preschool, so different everywhere I guess. I wish cops would focus on catching people who've committed major crimes rather than being citation money printing presses.

  • Democrat announces articles of impeachment against Hegseth

    Jump

  • Well good, get it on the books for future historians if nothing else.

  • Don't crucify me

    Jump

  • Oh yeah, I was not even considering trying to jam everything in that tiny case and getting the cooling and cabling sorted out. I would for sure skip that and just go with a standard mid-size tower, were I going to try this (I'm not)

  • YSK about Project 100,000, when the US conscripted people with mental disabilities to be used as cannon fodder in Vietnam, suffering triple the casualties of other soldiers

    Jump

  • Maybe he's referring to the fact that McNamara, the architect of this and all-around terrible person, was an Elder in his Presbyterian church during the time he was also conceiving and running this program. IDK, that's the first direct connection I could find. That, and a lot of this was under Kennedy, who was famously and publicly and proudly the first Catholic president. So I agree it's not a great look for Kennedy in terms of his Catholicism being a major part of his identity, to have allowed his SecDef to run this program on "the least among us" if you will.

  • Don't crucify me

    Jump

  • Well first we don't know the price, other than "like a PC" unless I missed something.

    Second, sure, someone like me, who already has the background and experience building gaming PCs, maybe (maybe) I could replicate most of the specs at the same cost, possibly even improve them in a few areas. But economies of scale, the labor on my end, shifting market prices... Unless Valve is marking these things up like 50% or more I just don't see how an individual is going to compete on cost once you include labor.
