I think they’re banned in the UK. Too big for the roads in a city that was built for horses.

They make pretty good stuff, too, and it’s often more affordable. Had several Xiaomi products in the past, and so far I’m very pleased with my Huawei watch.

UK. It’s great, mostly. However it is underfunded which means you can have long wait times for non-urgent stuff. If a hospital referral sees you in a week or so you can take that as a sign that you are fucked. But it’s amazing not to have to fear financial ruin if I get sick. I think most UK taxpayers wouldn’t mind paying a little extra if it was ringfenced for the NHS. We need more medical staff and they need to be paid a lot better.

Edit - dental care can be pretty expensive though.

Yeah right, my laptop supports usb c charging, but it came with the usual power brick that I use if I need a faster charge.

Yeah, it’s starting to look as though their monopoly is not as secure as they’d assumed, so they might bend a bit, for a while.

Maybe by ‘true gamer’ they mean someone whose identity is defined by gaming? Not for me to say whether or not that’s healthy, but it’s certainly extreme. And then going further to link this identity to gender is just weird. I mean, who cares? We’re all just text on the internet to each other, what difference does gender or sexuality or race etc make to gaming? Unless it’s a game that explores those themes, it shouldn’t, but here we are.

I don’t get much screen time - work and other hobbies - but I’ve somehow got over 300 hours in cyberpunk. Also, I’m fairly new to it at the mo, but I could see myself putting a lot of hours into mewgenics.

I’m told it’s great in VR. Never tried it, but if the steam frame ever appears. . .

Oh I know it is. I just kinda suspect lemmy is beneath their notice. If it becomes popular we’ll see the bots come creeping in.

Is this a Firefox extension?

Many of us here stopped a while back. For me, it was the API thing a couple of years ago. But it’s still useful to check reddit website for info - there’s just so many answers to so many questions on there. But fuck using their app.

Lol you think there’s a CCP botnet on Lemmy?

I think it means like hanging around. But I guess they thought a ‘Hanging around’ charge would be hard to take seriously in court. Land of the free, eh

I just took a shit that would beg to differ

Same with alien

Splat!

“Beautiful, clean coal!”

I’m curious what exactly this means. . . Are they taking raw materials in one door and finished cars out the other? Because that seems unlikely, would be impressive tho.

The fact is, it can be a very useful technology when deployed sensibly. Yes, it’s going to inflict massive harm on society in multiple ways - but just dismissing it as shit is putting your head in the sand. We need to be figuring out how to ensure that the harm it does is minimised and ideally that it’s used in ways that benefit us all. Fuck knows how though.

But it’s not just going to go away, no matter how much we might want it to.

Can we give Darwin awards to companies?
