Dealing with customer service is about to get stranger. Google's new Live Avatars let companies create human-like AI chatbots. But that's not all. Companies could also use their fun, cute intellectual property to "help" you. #google #googlegemini #ai #gemini #pcmag #whyisthis youtu.be/rM66-iymZ8Q

I will write like the old person I am: Foldable phones are my JAM, people. MY JAM. So, the Apple iPhone Duo has me wondering whether I should jam one in my pocket. Watch this. Share this. Whistle a tune. #iphone #apple #iphoneduo youtu.be/f2a00ORT5nI?...

After years, I'm quitting Evernote. Exported all my notebooks and deleted every one of them so I don't go back. I can't justify the price for the features. Its last plea below pushed me over the edge.

When I went to law school, I learned about the Supreme Court, and how cases are decided. The current Supreme Court isn't just making terrible decisions, it is flauting the rule of law and abandoning its ethical code of conduct.

Galaxy S27 Pro will seemingly join the S27, S27+, and S27 Ultra. This new phone would be on par with the Ultra in a smaller body and other modifications. Watch this video! Share this video with everyone! Comment away! youtu.be/DvF6ehSCkjQ

Google's new AI-first approach to Search is an issue. Instead of giving you links to sources, it builds answers for you. But, this brings up a lot of questions. Let me explain: #Google #GoogleSearch #Search #Ai youtu.be/mXtKmLflGZo

Things I bought that I thought I'd use, but don't: - Ninja Grilli - Spark Amp - Cheap Fire tablets - M1 iPad Pro - Early WearOS watch (cheap) The lesson? I've got to force myself to use these things or get rid of them. (Fire tablets are already recycled bc I couldn't stand how slow they were).
