It may be their branding but anker has gained some trust despite some issues… I ordered a battery bank that was recalled, sent it back for a new one. Then a few months later the replacement battery bank was recalled which is not great. That being said I do trust they will recall a protect and notify me when there are issues with their products which is reassuring.

I think this concept could be adapted to a wider audience. Personally I struggle with routine. Body Doubling (doing something with another human holding you accountable) helps me a ton.

I would definitely use this if instead of the parents as the reviewer it was possible to have a friend/multiple friends approve, rate and comment on tasks and vice versa. Like a sort of social media for mundane routines.

does anyone know if this affects the older versions of kindle for pc? You’re able to download your books from there still currently.

This really sucks. I do think you can still download books from an older version of kindle for pc. Hopefully they don’t axe this feature as well.

It’s great this was patched, but would love an open source way to remote start my car, without paying for subaru’s subscription.

i’ve been looking for something just like this to make my website. I’m a graphic designer with light coding experience and this looks perfect. I would love to see a way to self host this as that is the only thing holding me back from using it.

if your talking cloud backup Wasabi (which uses S3) is the cheapest i could find it’s pay as you go and they don’t charge for upload/download. The pay as you go is $6.99 per TB which would be pretty pricey at 28 TB, but it’s super cheap for my 4tb NAS.

to get real answers from humans and not marketing campaigns I constantly put reddit in my search. I feel like 5 years ago that wasn’t necessary.

This reminds me of the murder bot book series by Martha Wells. The main character (an advanced ai robot) started really enjoying human media and even used media as a bargaining chip to work with other bots. One striking moment was when the main character was discussing a rogue and violent robot with a transport bot.

“ART said, What does it want?

To kill all the humans, I answered.

I could feel ART metaphorically clutch its function. If there were no humans, there would be no crew to protect and no reason to do research and fill its databases. It said, That is irrational.

I know, I said, if the humans were dead, who would make the media? It was so outrageous, it sounded like something a human would say.” -Martha Wells, Artificial Condition

Although fiction, it’s very thought provoking in evaluating where a truly sentient AI might place its motives. On one hand the research transport bot (ART) is motivated to protect its humans because it would be functionless without them. While the main character (a security unit, who is typically treated badly by humans) sarcastically but partially truthfully places its motives to not kill humans in funding its curiosity of TV.

Would implementing curiosity in a sentient AI act as a safeguard possibly?

Would curiosity arise as a byproduct of sentience without being directly programmed?
