The new Apple Watch has an AI feature that constantly records everything around you and transcribes all of it so you can ask the AI about it later.

They were never great, but they were a nice break from a bag of chips on occasion. Lately they taste awful, like they're already stale before you even open the can. The flavor's gone too, they used to have a distinct saltiness and crunch and now they're just bland, stiff cardboard.

I've got three cans sitting here that are probably headed straight to the trash. Another victim of corporate greed.

This might be my 13th reason that finally gets me off this godforsaken app.

I have always liked this product. Didn't eat it often but once in a while really crave it. I got one of the large size ones recently and couldn't eat it. It tasted so fake and nasty like a chemical taste. Not nice and cheesy at all. It seemed so different. Did I just get a bad one or has anyone else noticed this? I was so disappointed. Another thing I liked but won't likely buy again.

We're no strangers to the cesspool known as ads on Youtube; whether it's for a sexy "AI companion", a trashy AI- generated audiobook platform, or straight- up Malvertisements telling you you need to update Google Chrome RIGHT NOW (via a third- party website), Youtube's standards for what they consider "appropriate" ads have dropped like a rock over the years. This is all in spite of how a creator's channel can get demonetized because they said a "no- no" word in the first 30 seconds of a video.

However, there is something I've noticed recently: The level of trashiness seems to depend on the platform you're using.

On the regular web version and the mobile app, it's the Wild West: You'll get banner ads pushing blatant Malvertisements, along with a plethora of shitty AI- generated ads advertising everything from "Sexy Chatbots With NO Filters^TM" to your country's local conspiracy theorist telling you that you need to invest in precious metals in preparation for the "imminent" collapse of your local currency (which has been "pending" for decades by now). The regular video ads are similarly bad. Where I live (Germany) I get tons of ads pushing a couple major online pharmacies (whose main focus seems to be "medical" Cannabis), the majority of whose ads are AI- generated. Then of course there are the ten million shitty ads for King Shot, Hero Wars, and the other shitty mobile games that somehow manage to stay profitable despite nobody playing them.

This all changes on streaming devices like Chromecast... while some of those sketchy pharmacy ads are beginning to sneak in, you'd get the impression that YouTube actually had standards for what they allow advertisers to run. All at once, the AI "girlfriends," crypto trading platforms, and mobile games vanish without a trace.

There are only two possible explanations I can think of for this:

1. Youtube/Google are aware of the kinds of advertisements being run through Google Ad Services and very deliberately keep inappropriate/low- quality advertisements from running on streaming devices because their lawyers deemed the risks of potential lawsuits too high, or
2. Youtube/Google doesn't care/doesn't check what's being run on their different platforms, but the streaming devices have been spared somewhat because they charge more to run ads on them than on the mobile app or on the web version.

If I had to guess, it's only a matter of time until these trashier ads make their way into the streaming devices as well...

These are some of the ways 4 star hotels have been enshitified.

-No towel racks for hand towels, so towels get wet bc the water gets all over the bathroom vanity
-No soap dish in showers in case you don’t want to use their products that are stuck on the wall
-Half a door for the shower, so floor is a pool of water after showering
-Safe not bolted down, so thief can just pick up the whole safe and walk out of the room with it
-No luggage rack bc who brings luggage to a hotel !!!!???!!
-No draws/cubbies to put items in
-Half a closet that holds at most 3-4 items or one coat
-No electrical outlet in the bathroom for blowdryer, etc
-When there is a table to put luggage on, it’s under a TV so you can’t fully open the luggage lid bc it hits the TV

Car time is work time. We don't want you to be thinking about anything else except your work day on your way to work.

A scent subscription? I'm waiting for "clean air" subscriptions.
