        Google has released a new feature which will allow people to search the internet by taking a video.

        Seems like an awkward way to search for porn but ok.

            Didn’t society already reject this shit several years ago? I seem to remember they coined the term “Glasshole” for people wearing those things. I think they would be useful though.

                Trust me, the government likes their backdoors. I may or may not have heard about that program before.

                            We’ve had 3 Roombas and they always break. It’s just easier never to vacuum.

                                And god forbid you leave a phone charging cable anywhere in range. That’s 30 minutes of fun fixing that.

                                      If Android is split away from Google it will die

                                      If Android is split away from Google it will die

                                      Nobody is able or willing to lose money on Android.

                                      Agree with most of the above but, even though he later dismissed it, the suggestion that maybe Mozilla could take over Android and make a go of it is laughable IMO. Maybe a decade ago.

                                          Google could, let’s say 10 years ago, afford to do anything, because almost anything would eventually bring in more search users and ads revenue. And so splitting up Google means killing all the individual parts and making practically all parts of the internet be a walled garden of someone’s own. It’s not that future is all rosy without breaking it up with entshittification and investors trying to get money out fast to spend on yachts and AI bets, but breaking it up would be genuinly terrible and it’s IMO crazy this is being discussed.
