Isn’t the Cybertruck steering wheel called a squircle?

I thought it was a 2 seater with no controls. Lemme guess… It’s a fleet of Model 3s.

I work for a mid size telco. VoIP has been the predominate method for voice communications going on 10+ years it was just behind the scenes.

For the case of your job or school you either use what is required or you need to find another job or school. That might not be popular but it’s the reality. Other relationships don’t have that kind of pull. Maybe RCS could fix some of it but given what happened with XMPP I’m doubtful.

As the only Android user in a social group of iPhone users I felt this way too much.

The only one that is difficult to replace is Facebook. It’s still the best way to keep up with family and friends from all over. I also like Facebook Marketplace and haven’t found a substitute that is as good.

Is this sucking up or just finally feeling free to show their true self?

It’s not just younger people. A lot of my fellow GenXers only communicate via Facebook messenger.

I use the Realcalc scientific calculator app at least 5 times a week. As others have mentioned GPS functionality for driving is great. I also use my phone’s GPS to get waypoints for the location of fixtures for my job as a telecommunications facilities designer.

Having a high quality camera is also handy for work and personal stuff.

Same for me. I got DSL in the summer of 2000.

I work in telecom. Currently I’m working with the group that pre-wires large apartment complexes. When we first started doing this everyone was all about the Zip systems. I’ve noticed in the last 18 months they’re all back to normal OSB and house wrap. And it’s like “Zip- meh”. It was so hyped 6 years aggo. Risinger was one of the firat I swe hyping Zip and like you said its only gotten worse.

Matt Risinger’s channel was pretty good when he first started but the last few I’ve watched seem like nothing but commercials. I haven’t watched his stuff in a while so I gave it a shot on a recent video and remembered why I stopped watching.

I came here to say the same thing. It’s especially bad with streaming services. Row and column after row and column of options is overwhelming.

I agree that manned space programs are unnecessary and unmanned should be very limited. Starlink shouldn’t have been allowed. Unfortunately the US government let telecoms off the hook when it came to serving rural areas.

I’ve met very few people in the US with more than a passing interest in AI and everyone in my friends and family circle has left X/Twitter. #ven the hardcore conservative folks.

That’s because tech peaked a while back. Tech news is basically about the next hustle to keep the funding coming in while producing nothing truly useful.

Isn’t this exactly what happened with the tariff on washing machines?

I use it for the same reasons as you and I also follow local news outlets and local government since Twitter went to crap. I follow a few special interest groups but political posts, probably by bots is making most of these groups unusable. I couldn’t care less about the content. I go to other platforms for that

I’ll read the article if it’s not behind a paywall. I often don’t finish them because most articles are poorly written.

I never tweeted myself but I liked to follow a couple of local news outlets and out local government agencies for public notices and emergencies. I gave up when stuff from Elon and a bunch of right wing stuff populated my feed. I rarely saw anything of interest. I started using Facebook for that. At least the local stuff pops up in addition to the crazy stuff.
