Yeah mine is the same. Plan to keep it that way. I don’t know how it got that way, probably saw an article like “opt out of all these AI features” and then did all of them without even thinking.

You missed a third option that already exists. At the supermarket I go to, I pick up a scanning gun with a screen on it when I walk in. As I shop, I scan things and place them in my bags. At the end, I press a checkout button on the scan gun, and it makes a little bar code on the screen. I head to tge self checkout, scan my barcode, pay, and walkout. It’s fucking seamless and amazing and should be the standard in every supermarket.
The only thing that sometimes ruins it is when there is a line of idiots at the self checkouts with full carts of groceries and I have to wait for them. There needs to be a dedicated lane for scan gun only people. Self checkout is for people with like 10 or less items, not a week’s worth of groceries.
“And the president said he plans to name an “AI czar” in the next three or four days.”
It’s probably going to be fucking Kid Rock or some other unqualified Trump simping cronie.
Every few years? Brave of you to assume that after owning them for 6 months or so I haven’t sent all of my wireless earbuds through the wash because I didn’t feel them in the pocket when doing laundry.
Now I’m using over ear wireless headphones because I can’t mistakenly wash a huge set of cans.
Side note: I can wash your mom’s huge set of cans

I was basically forced to buy one many many years ago when cases with no optical drive bays first came on the market. The motherboard I got with that build had the drivers on a CD, and that included network drivers. I had no secondary PC to download them with. I suppose I could have used my phone, but back then the internet wasn’t built for phones very well, and I remember it being a pain in the ass. Since then I have used it quite a few times. It’s always been a great thing to have just in case I need it.
“the people responsible will get sway with it”
Not only will they get away with it, but they will make massive profits off of it. They will be buying up foreclosed houses, colluding with their friends to short stocks of businesses they buy up and and run into the ground, buying the dip, and still having more than enough leftover to live how they are currently living.
Every time there is one of these recessions or economic crisises, the rich get a lot richer. To them it’s just “buying season”. They have enough money to wait it out.
