Alternate alternate title: EVs’ cost of ownership too high compared to ICEs.

erranto , to Technology in European Union set to revise cookie law, admits cookie banners are annoying

I bet they will keep adding loopholes to keep websites bullying their visitors.

why bother making legal frameworks when you can't enforce them, there are hundreds of thousands of website including very prominent ones that hide the "reject all cookies" button after a second screen prompt. or flat out force you to opt-out of every second cookie category , just so you give up. they haven't been fined. and they know EU authorities aren't bothered either, so they keep infringing on the GDPR.

Exosus ,

My biggest qualm is that usually these sites won't save it when you only allow necessary cookies. So they will ask you for every single session until you give in.

GrayBackgroundMusic , to Technology in Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games

Ah, my hard line stance of "never buy anything ubisoft" is still working out for me.

Duamerthrax ,

Ubisoft, epic, ea, Blizzard/Activision...

I wont say Bethesda because I'm hoping for another Doom or Quake.

MycoBro ,

_EA is the fucking devil. They bought my favorite game, Ultima Online, and ruined it. _

fluckx , to Technology in Gamers enraged at Ubisoft for injecting ads into the middle of video games

Can we boycot the companies that do this already.
I get the AC IP is nice, I've certainly enjoyed my fair share of their games.

But the ad industry is completely getting derailed. What's next ? Watch a 15s promo video every time you want to open te fridge? Watch a promo video before you can open the door?

Have your walls randomly show you ads?

Stop buying their shit. Regardless of how decent the game is. Punish them for the predatory practices. Demand refunds.

But no. People will likely be outraged, and then next game angry and then the next game they'll suck it all up and complain about the good all days.

dmonzel ,

I always thought the cyberpunk genre was a warning, not a blueprint.

Kerb , to Technology in Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated
@Kerb@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

id say its like the dotcom bubble.
yeah its incredible new & emerging tech,

TimewornTraveler ,

What's the dotcom bubble?

someguy3 , to Technology in Over half of all tech industry workers view AI as overrated

Best assessment I've heard: Current AI is an aggressive autocomplete.

blackwateropeth ,

I’ve found that relying on it is a mistake anyhow, the amount of incorrect information I’ve seen from chatgpt has been crazy. It’s not a bad thing to get started with it but it’s like reading a grade school kids homework, you need to proofread the heck out of it.

hushable ,

I just reviewed a PR today and the code was... bad, like unusually bad for mycoworkers and left some comments.

Then my coworker said he used chatgpt without really thinking on what he was copypasting.
