When I was rooting/flashing custom ROMs I was spending a lot of time tinkering or debugging issues. I could deal with forgoing bank apps, Netflix, etc but I stopped in the end after cyanogenmod had an issue that meant emergency calls would soft reboot the phone. It made me realise my phone was an appliance not a hobby, I need to be able to rely on it and not be wondering if something won't work because of the ROM I have installed or because it's rooted.

Why would it have fanfare? It's the same thing they've done for every generation

When are they going to fine Microsoft for the blatant anti competitive Edge pushing inside Windows? 20 years ago it was a scandal just to bundle Internet Explorer and now they get away with progressively making it harder to switch away from Edge, forcing links to open in Edge rather than your default browser and injecting ads into your browser and OS when you try to download an alternative.

That's because they still think it's a good idea, they just thought that they could get away with it

We had this once with a guy working remotely who decided to move to Poland without telling anyone, which was not allowed in the terms of his contract nor did he have a visa to live in Poland. Only person I've ever heard of getting deported from Poland to the UK

  • it's expensive to run, openAI is subsidising it heavily and it will come back to bite us in the ass soon
  • it can be both intentionally and unintentionally biased
  • the text it generates has a certain style to it that can be easy to pick up on
  • it can mix made up information with real information
  • it's a black box

I find it absolutely mind blowing that people are generally accepting that as okay on most social media platforms.
