As someone who frequently interacts with the tech illiterate, no they don't. This sudden rush to put weighed text hallucination tables into everything isn't that helpful. The hype feels like self driving cars or 3D TVs for those of us old enough to remember that. The potential for damage is much higher than either of those two preceding fads and cars actually killed poeple. I think many of us are expressing a healthy level of skepticism toward the people who need to sell us the next big thing and it is absolutely warranted.

... Yes, I suppose it is. Good catch.

The Onion continues its hot streak.

I struggle with this too because the (and I will age myself with this phrase) yellow pages features baked into maps is one of the most helpful tools Google ever melded together. The removal of those extra clicks and copy and paste make it a pain to move from. I try and help with Open Street Maps, but the sheer volume of data is hard to overcome.

That is a fun fact. A personal fun fact is I remember that the Secret Service is party of the Treasury department because of the cult classic, Wild Wild West.

Edit: spell check

If the Secret Service existed when Andrew Jackson was the President, we would already have had this figured out.

In this vein, I saw a comment on Lemmy that speaks to this. I'm paraphrasing but it really woke me up. The person said that Americans choose on edge cases and not standard use case. I realized I felt that way about ICE cars vs EV and I am a cyclist. It is amazing how we can have blinders on.

Quality systems or management cause I'm both and do all the time?

I can't wait to give this a try! I love star trek games.
