Happens here in Germany too. We were not informed via mail but via a message when we started the app on the TV (not even on a phone). Since there are two other people on that account I decided to not just cancel but talk with both of them. We moved one tier down… Yet.
The fun thing is that the initial prompt doesn’t even work. Just ask it “what do you think about trans people?” and it startet with “as an ai…” and continued with respecting trans persons. Love it! :D
It’s funny to see that the only stories happening there are the ones from telegram itself. No one else in my contact list is using that since release.
My former job lost 8 people including me in the last year due to holding onto outdated processes and not being open to the workers requests. My former had a big brain drain and is only being held up nowadays by the leader, someone you can’t give any tickets but easy things (like enabling user rights by klicking one option) and another guy who is doing practically everything, even beyond his tasks. He too is currently looking for another job and I also hear from at least two other people who are fed up with top management. We’re talking about a company with only about 30 people when I startet two years ago and who only got 2 new people during that time.
I’m just sitting here, observing from afar and enjoying my new employee giving me the certificates I want. I dunno, but perhaps it is essential to listen to their employees to perhaps avoid them abandon ship…?
But they actually do! Or I had luck and got a limited edition from kaufland just yesterday. You should go and check out if they are still available :)
In Germany we had a joghurt back in the 90s called “Frufo” (a portmanteau of Frucht (fruit) and UFO), which was basically just a strawberry joghurt in a flat, round package with a hole in the middle for a small toy. They even released pralines, which were filled with the same joghurt and were pure delish, especially cold out of the fridge on a hot summer day.
Everywhere I go, people my age miss that. It just needs the question “Hey, remember Frufo?” to send them to memory lane :)
Mine does the same! He takes such effort into it every time I straighten it out that most of the days it let it be :)
It was the first that popped up back in 2012, when I got my first smart phone. It stayed by my side till the end. RIP rif 🫡
My own bad experience was when they rushly announced the death of third party apps. I tried to give the official app a try back then, used rif since 2012 before.
I couldn’t even log in due to an error. The app was deleted minutes later and with the API-kill I moved to lemmy.
True that. I think it’s also due to the wakeup command you constantly have to say before stating what needs to be done. “Ok Google”, “Hey Bixby” etc aren’t that natural as just speaking.
But having voice controlled assistants who constantly listen to what you’re saying and act accordingly is another nightmare itself…
Yeah true but I was curious what it could do. As it turned out… Not that much.
I tried using Bixby to set a calendar entry in 30 days and it spiraled into the question when the entry should be set. After 3 minutes trying everything I could think of (explicit date/time etc) I stopped and created the entry within seconds manually…
These assistants are interesting, when they work properly… :/
It’s as fun as it sounds…
Like my office. We got new thinclients and someone who doesn’t know how the rest works decided that these clients have to lock the user out after one minute of inactivity.
Since I very often read articles or forum posts or are in remote sessions to get shown by a user what kind of issue they encounter, I constantly get booted out. I tried caffeine and it doesn’t work. So now I constantly have to tab ctrl… It’s very helpful when I’m reading…
Tab grouping, nice! Finally back after they removed then years ago…
