The company loaded it with whatever spyware they wanted and pushed it in an update. Now the app is garbage.
Wait what? I have it too and see no changes at all. How does it spy since the app has 0 bytes of traffic (now blocked it to be safe)?
Thanks for the decimal places on the percentage. Wanna be precise with that one.
Don’t be so hard on it - at least some hands have five fingers.
Thanks for showing us who missed it this jewel of internet culture.
It has been the case for well over a decade but for free web stuff. Philips Hue lights are expensive and still they pull this shit. That’s something that just started quite recently.
At least you can read it without unblocking js. That’s becoming rarer and rarer.
the ads, bloat, spyware, needs to go
They just introduced them. What makes you think this isn’t an integral part of the future of Windows?
Isn’t it ironic how you need instructions now to install Windows with a bearable level of bloat? Kinda like installing Arch just for uninstalling/skipping instead of installing.
I guess they were hinting at an AI dystopia which would be “the worst”.
technology that propels us also further
How does that apply to facial recognition tech? Its sole purpose is surveillance. Yeah and the negligible added convience to unlock your phone without touching it. I guess that justifies it to many.
That’s not so obvious to me. Companies might refer to usage statistics to exclude the ones you mentioned.
AI is also the broader term. It also covers algorithmic approaches and knowledge representation.
So, Chrome and Edge? No thank you.
UX is hugely undervalued, I wonder if one of the reasons is because you don’t notice good UX, it’s not in the way, but you noticed bad UX. So good UX without a lot of marketing is invisible.
I absolutely agree. It’s especially underestimated how hard it is to make actually good UX because what feels intuitive can be highly individual. In addition the typical techie nerd that does the programming is more interested in technical puzzles than trying to view the program with the eyes of an end user (which feels pretty schizophrenic at times since you know how the thing works but need to dissociate from that knowledge).
No. You’re the one with the big claims that the whole industry (or in your other reply even the whole capitalist world) doesn’t innovate. So you first provide some actual evidence. So far your arguments are just “trust me” themselves.
Historically speaking if you actually invented something, you got nothing but a wage or a very small payout.
That’s true for most innovations ever and not exclusive to the US tech industry.
You’re overgeneralizing. Government money is in everything. It needs more effort to prove it’s causal for every innovation there is.
