My dad had some old games for his Amstrad computer that needed a Lenslok, to decode the characters displayed on the screen.
IIRC it didn’t work very well at all.

What a fucking world we live in


Tfw you’re such a creepy, unlikeable person that even the secret pedo island doesn’t want you
I think part of the reason it sounds muddled is because they’re trying to keep the anti-AI crowd on board as well.
Can you imagine Apple launching a big new feature and being like, “It’s going to be amazing! But don’t worry, there’ll be a big button so you can completely disable it!”


This must be the fault of violent video games
Not guns
Nope


What were those things we had before AI? “Co-puters” or something? I don’t remember.
Anyway, glad they’re gone. It’d be annoying if we still needed chips and RAM for stuff other than AI.


I really wanted to like it, but it’s already a right-wing cesspit. 🤷♂️ Maaaaaybe it’ll improve, now that it’s public, but I don’t have high hopes.
I know this place is just the opposite kind of echo chamber, but when the other option is being beaten over the head with transphobia and Maga shit, ehh, I’ll take it.


When I owned one years ago, I legit had no idea for the first few months.
The first time I clicked it with the power off I panicked and assumed I’d somehow jammed it or something. 😄


There’s the slow-and-not-very-capable link preview thing… and I could’ve sworn the “what’s new” page the other day said they were adding an on-device model to improve search results or something, but I can’t find the reference to it now.
Maybe they removed it after all the AI backlash. 😬


Every product we build must give people agency in how it works. Privacy, data use, and AI must be clear and understandable. Controls must be simple. AI should always be a choice — something people can easily turn off. People should know why a feature works the way it does and what value they get from it.
Come on, this isn’t Reddit, at least skim the article before you start with the performative outrage.

You’re so welcome! Good luck getting whatever it is figured out!
Assuming it’s the same feeling, it’s such a weird one to try and describe. I think that rings true though: it’s like a caffeine buzz, only it makes you feel sluggish instead of energised. 😅
YMMV, but if it is diabetes, the good news is it probably won’t take too many changes to start feeling better. I just went as low carb as I could bear (probably more Atkins than keto, so nothing too drastic) and cut out caffeine (it can cause blood sugar spikes). For now, that’s enough to manage it without any meds or finger-pricks, and I feel so much better! You don’t even feel that deprived when you’re having rich, creamy sauces on everything, and I’ve lost 32 lbs in less than 3 months, even while snacking the normal amount. 😂 I don’t even really exercise!


This probably sounds stupid, but I just kinda… started feeling diabetic? 😅 Like, how I was feeling matched my extremely vague idea of “what diabetes might feel like”, so I asked for blood tests, and yep.
I don’t think peeing a lot was really part of mine. I just found eating usually made me feel worse instead of better, and I was starting to get occasional tingling in my hands and feet.


It’s the lady with the distracting gaming laptop!

Oh. In which case it still works fine for me, what can I say. 😅
Archive.ph is good, especially because I’ve never met a paywall it couldn’t bypass. 😏
Sounds like maybe they’re feeling rattled. They wouldn’t need people to march for them if they weren’t widely hated.
