Setting the climate control remotely is handy, and it needs its own modem to do that.

I still use it. I use the Pulsar music player on Android which has an Audioscrobbler built in. I have my entire mp3/flac collection extra compressed into opus files, so that my 120GB of music is only taking up 43GB on my phone. When I'm listening in the car or on the train I really can't tell the drop in quality.

If you use Firefox, then you can add chatgpt as a search engine with keyword gpt. Then you can type "gpt how to centre a div" into your address bar and get the same thing without routing it through Kagi, or needing Kagi.

Might help to find the right video though

These days I find Gemini often recommends me a youtube video that's just an AI voice reading out a reddit post that was chat gpt generated full of emoji.

Did you feel similar when Wikipedia was created or Google or when you first got access to the internet?

All of these tools have made digging into subjects and learning easier. I find the same with AI. I love it when a random thought pops into my head and I can explore it with an AI such as Gemini. Then ask it for the sources it used so that I can read further.

AI is just a tool, much like StackOverflow. It doesn't prevent creativity, it just makes it easier and more accessible.


> AI is just a tool

You are forgetting that AI can also use tools.

And those AIs can be used as tools as well by other AIs.

The moment you start working on something, someone else is already automating the exact thing you are doing now.

Good. If a machine can do my job then I can work on something more interesting. Perhaps a more interesting problem to fix is having the people working on something getting told about the automation.


> If a machine can do my job then I can work on something more interesting

Oh my god, you don't get it.

The more interesting thing? Someone else is already automating doing that exact interesting thing you are doing now.

All the way down.


I haven't even subscribed yet

If you're researching which fridge to buy on Gemini, then an ad might be helpful. So long as they've got the data to answer your questions such as how wide it is.

But only if that result contains all the facts, and doesn’t show only the fridge that they have an ad for while there also other fridges that fit.

Advertising really only helps in two scenarios - it makes you aware of a class of product you had no idea existed (perhaps searching for toilet paper shows you a bidet ad) - or it makes you aware of a brand you hadn’t considered before.

And even the second is on shaky ground because by design it won’t tell you really where it stacks up.

I suppose you could argue that making you aware of sales/deals is “helpful” but that’s closer to what I’d classify most advertising as - zero-sum.

(Advertising of a different kind has a use, allowing companies to “sponsor” activities they like in a way the shareholders won’t revolt over. The more you consider companies to be feudal lordships the more it all starts to make sense.)

This is not an open model


Looks like they have a browser extension! https://www.capsolver.com/products/browser-extension


> 8. Ryanair says you can check-in on their website: https://help.ryanair.com/hc/en-us/articles/12888891271953-Ho...

Last year I could check in on their website, but needed the app for the boarding card. They might have changed that, but that article doesn't make it clear.
