apple’s transcription is good enough to know if it’s something you should pay attention to which is basically just like your dentist trying to reschedule or something, though stuff like that is finally often over email

all I need to know is if someone wants to sell me a car warranty, or if they want to lower my energy bill. Transcriptions are very good at detecting that. Everything else is a coin flip.

mediaphage posted:i never listen to a voicemail. i don’t think my carrier supports just disabling it entirely but i’m going to look into it i ported to the "premium" provider in my nation and they don't support VVM by default. if you want it, you have to suffer through a live chat session, you can't just turn it on in the portal they also send you a fake SMS telling you that you missed a call (purporting to be from the number that tried to call you) of course you can't that "feature" or VM entirely if you do receive a VM for some god-forsaken reason, you can't listen to it without setting up a PIN and recording a welcome message absolutely bananas

i stopped using facebook when marissa meyer did the kid thing because someone i knew and was somewhere between friend and acquaintance went on a rant about she didn’t love her kid like a real mother should because she had a nursery installed next to her office rather than staying at home with the child

So when you get this mess age kindly call back on our number that is XXX-XXX-XXXX. the audible version of those alternate letter glyphs

yeah, literally no one should care beyond the impact on the lifespan of the phone. and the article kind of calls that out, it is deliberately confusing to not make it a really dumb marketing point.

mrk posted:Screenshot? I see a couple of ads in my Google Now feed (same feed as you have on Pixels) on my Galaxy, but those ads have "Ad" prefixing the title so easy to know. They are targeted ads though, like an ad for EV leasing since I look up EVs often lol, or a product I've searched on Amazon etc. ads are good, actually, because sometimes they will show you things you like and want

part of that is the advertisers doing poor targeting. from google’s pov targeting too broadly because you aren’t experienced enough is a feature, not a bug

i have gotten a lot of ads for grammarly and lotion on videos for cooking and old object restoration, so I can only assume my adamant doubleclick and adwords blocking is confusing the poo poo out of the platform oh and o'reilly auto parts (yow!) but those are on car care videos so that makes contextual sense

companies may also be targeting a geographic area or everyone watching a specific type of video so you’ll see some very weird stuff occasionally

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2022/03/stadias-pivot-to-a-google-cloud-product-is-official/ I predict a Microsoft xbox 365 streaming platform powered by google stadia No, the 360 was the second generation xbox. No, the 365 is not the 5th generation xbox, it's more like a sibling or cousin to the series x, which is the 4th generation. Yes, microsoft has dumb names for xbox consoles.

what? Microsoft shucks xboxes and puts them in racks to power their own game streaming platform. why would they switch to Google’s weird Linux back end?

lmao quote:"In a program called 'Communicate with Care,' Google trains and directs employees to add an attorney, a privilege label, and a generic 'request' for counsel's advice to shield sensitive business communications, regardless of whether any legal advice is actually needed or sought. lets see how well playing dumb games with the feds goes for google

maybe you just weren't high level enough to get the real training quote:The DOJ provided examples of emails sent by Google employees of various ranks, up to the CEO. "This practice of portraying ordinary business communications as privileged is followed at Google's highest levels," the DOJ said.

every company of a certain size does this. they tell you never to discuss anything potentially compromising over email, and if you’re talking about something that might end up bad CC lawyers and rubber stamp it with privileged and confidential.
