Email is message exchange with a person or group of people. They can reply at any time.
IRC is a chatroom. You go to it when you want to chat. A lot of software have support channels. You probably don't know most of these people. Unless you are saving them somehow, you don't have a history of the chat room.
I've never used Matrix but it's a instant messaging protocol that allows voice and video.
Less keys, more touch bars.
At least the previous version that uses AA batteries, you can swap them out and keep working. Now people need two mice just to continue working...
This is a cost cutting measure to hire less people.
I don't have stats to back this up but most people, like high 90%, don't turn any of that off.
I agree with you that it sucks and is horrible. I wish there were more laws to protect us.
Everything I stated is just a quick summary of why these robot really don't do much for data collection and is more of a money saving matter to not hire more security personal.
Me explaining how they track you does not mean I agree with it.
Your emotional state does not change reality.
They are already data mining you without these robots.
They use facial recognition on cameras. They use OCR on your license plate and scan your toll pass. They use your phone location if you connect to their "free" wifi. They track your bluetooth devices that's constantly looking to connect. They track you foot traffic and see what stores, what aisle, what product you picked it up and how long you had it in your hands.
Google "Target loss prevention" stories of frequent shoplifters that had profiles on them for months and stop them when they can charge for grand larceny rather than petite larceny. There is a reason why Westfield malls are everywhere. It's easier for them to control their own data than to constantly buy or contract out data from other companies.
These bots are probably getting more data but they are more for security. A moving camera is more of criminal deterrent just because it is moving. These bots are so they don't have to pay for more security guards than anything else.
Intel is about 5 times the size of Qualcomm in terms of equity.
i found this article:
Intel's shares closed up 3.3%, while Qualcomm fell 2.9%. Qualcomm, with a market capitalization of $188 billion, is worth about twice as much as Intel.
So based on Intel's shitty stock price, Qualcomm can buy a good chunk of Intel which is enough for voting power I guess. Someone please correct me or add insight to this.
That's true.
I glossed over the worst parts.
So many good episodes. This episodes, "Fifteen Million Merits" stands out. It's really good.
My favorite is "Shut Up and Dance".
Thank you.
