That is the joke of the meme, is it not?

Always has been (this wide spread) 🙂

Fair point.

Although it does have the biggest exposure to Google addicts.

I have never met an expert programmer with this particular issue.

Git gud.

… I just had to verify my age …

No you did not. You chose to do so.

I have not used WhatsApp in 10+ years, Windows in 4+ years, Google services in 2+ years.

It is a choice, stop lying to yourself about having to accept things.

You mean the hand terminal?

It depends on how close to the fictional device you mean it to be. For instance, it would appear they are just “dumb terminals” without local processing power. So the offloading of the processing power to the cloud should be possible today, but there probably isn’t a use case for it yet.

Actually making it look like that shard of glass that shows you information on the screen? If you equip AR glasses it could potentially already be done, but again, I assume no one will build it as the use case isn’t there.

It’d be an awkward device as per today, so would not be a commercial succes as of yet.

Recently, a major ISP in the Netherlands was determined to be streaming metadata from within their customer’s networks to Lifemote, a Turkish AI company.

Here’s a report in Dutch: https://tweakers.net/nieuws/245620/odido-router-stuurde-analyticsdata-naar-turks-ai-bedrijf.html

This is just the latest one to get caught doing it, but determine how comfortable you are having your internal network exposed to a 3rd party.

I’ve used personal/non-ISP modems and routers for 25 years because I’m not comfortable with it it. At all… But hey, you do you.
