This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
Is it too much to ask for an app that just does one single thing. Everything doesn't need to be an advertising platform.
But line no go up.
Google is definitely turning into IBM where they just exist because of inertia and not because of anything they actually produce.
The only line I care about is the line that takes me from A to B
They need the money for the next quarter earnings report.
So do I :((
Are you willing to deliver them consequences if they don't do it the way you want?
I stopped using Google maps so I guess so
What do you use?
Apple Maps. It sucks lol
Looked pretty good the last couple of times I looked at it. What sucks about it?
Those AI electricity bills don't pay for themselves.
Yeah... we pay....
Interesting to observe how our intuition is failing us while dealing with digital products. When someone gives you something for free on the street, naturally you get suspicious and start asking yourself "where is the catch?" But when there's a free app - no second thought. Everyone is using it so it must be ok. Well, Google and Facebook are nothing but glorified advertising agencies. The whole reason of their existence is to make money on ads. Edited: typos.
