The Streisand Effect is very rarely understood by the kind of emotional infants Trump prefers to surround himself with.

My personal take is this used to happen to me all the time because I am actually actively listening to the entire content of what the other person is saying, then trying to formulate the next thing to say based on that. Do that and you'll constantly miss your turn at conversation. Just vibe with whatever is being said and then respond to just the last sentence or last few words you heard right before the person stopped talking. Neurotypical people pretty rarely hear/remember much of exactly what someone else had said, they "feel" it internally as the words come at them, pick up a keyword or two from the last few words spoken, and carry on from there. Start doing that and you'll respond in time with their pace.

Yeah it's a cool device, whoever is pitching it though needs to realize why people might actually want one. Cause it's the reasons you said, it's a cute little device that's different, inexpensive, tough, and with features that other phones have taken away. "Teeny low-cost android phone with a keyboard and audio jack" would be way better positioning for them than this "second phone" and "productivity device" silliness. But for real at that launch price I might have to roll the dice on one and see if they actually managed to make something that doesn't feel like baby's first kickstarter blackberry clone lol.

This looks cool but what exactly is it doing to be productivity focused other than having a screen that would suck to watch videos on and a keyboard that never goes away?

The reason the Blackberry was adopted as a work productivity device was because other mobile options you had to type using T9 and with a Blackberry you could get your emailing done on a mobile device. But that's been every phone now for almost 20 years.

So I get it as something nice for people who are nostalgic for Blackberries, but Click's focus on this somehow being "communication focused" while a smartphone is, I guess, not, doesn't make much sense to me.

OMAD or IF works really well for a lot of people. What you eat and when you eat are critical, not just how many calories are going in and out. CICO is far from the whole story when it comes to metabolism and your endocrine system.

They are useful for doing the kind of boilerplate boring stuff that any good dev should have largely optimized and automated already. If it's 1) dead simple and 2) extremely common, then yeah an LLM can code for you, but ask yourself why you don't have a time-saving solution for those common tasks already in place? As with anything LLM, it's decent at replicating how humans in general have responded to a given problem, if the problem is not too complex and not too rare, and not much else.

I don't like to judge idiots too harshly, but if you bought a product marketed as an encrypted toilet camera you deserve whatever happens to you

pressure cook some whole oats (like the kind they sell for horses, not rolled oats/oatmeal), spawn on that in mason jars, then transfer to a bed of pressure-cooked coco coir when fully colonized, mix, cover, and wait.

Yeah this is the kind of shit you literally couldn't put into a fictional movie because viewers would not buy that a first-world democracy would do that to their citizens. You'd need an intentionally over-the-top cartoonishly evil fictional entity like Vault-Tec to even approach a "Moron Corps" scenario in fiction...

And don't forget Gomer Pyle.

Where I live I see mom and dad getting pulled over all the time for going 30 in a 25 on the way to drop Little Timmy off at preschool, so different everywhere I guess. I wish cops would focus on catching people who've committed major crimes rather than being citation money printing presses.

Well good, get it on the books for future historians if nothing else.
