I had the same assumption about myself before 2020. Turns out I'm way less distracted at home because I control the things that would distract me. So I'm much more productive. Was actually a huge surprise to me.

California has an indepenent committee that draws the maps. This action will require a statewide vote to temporarily override that committee's maps for this purpose. I don't think the vote would have succeeded before Trump won. Remains to be seen if the vote will succeed now.
Seconding a vertical mouse. I like Evoluent's mice, been using them for years.
I don't know that I would say "much worse." But it's more than incrementally worse, which is what most of the updates to Win10 have been over its lifetime. So straw, meet camel's back.
I was at a protest in DTLA where they were firing them. Some cops were flinching when the rounds were fired. So I'm going with both incompetent and malicious.
I know someone who died of fast colon cancer, and I'd be okay with ICE agents going the same way.
I would believe that it only currently works in English.
Yahoo did pull this shit. I had to dig through privacy settings in my account, not just the email setting, to turn it off.
I'm not super bothered by Tue copyright issue - the copyright system is barely serving people these days anyway. Blow it up.
I'm deeply troubled by the obscene power use. It might be worth it if it was a good tool. But it's not.
I haven't gone out of my way to use AI anything, but it's been stuffed into everything. And it's truly bad at it's job. AI is like a precocious 8-year-old, butting into every conversation. And it gives the right answer at about the rate a ln 8-year-old does. When I do a web search, I then need to do another one to check the AI's answer. Or scroll down a page to get past the AI answers to real sources. When someone uses it to summarize a meeting, I then need to read through that summary to make sure the notes are accurate. And it doesn't know to ask when it doesn't understand something like a proper secretary would. When I go looking for reference images, I have to check to make sure they're real and not hallucinations.
It gets in my way and slows me down. It needed at least another decade of development before being deployed at all, never mind at the scale it has, and it needs to be opt-in, not crammed into everything. And until it can be relied on, it shouldn't be allowed to suck down as much electricity as it does.
My understanding is that Samsung uses an odd standard that means they can't quick charge from Anker devices. That was at least true a few years back. Would be great to know if that's changed.

I loved mine! Did exactly what I bought it for, emulation on my TV and playing media from my server. Replaced it with a Shield eventually, but don't regret backing it on Kickstarter.
