Polls: Technology & Internet

Okay Guys... it's happening.

Female Robots are now available.

Which of their capabilities is most important to you?

GAG and reddit appear to have a "similar" system, in terms of upvote/downvote and going anon. Differences depart from there, however. Entirely different layouts one from another, and different features.

For instance, reddit permits alt accounts, but GAG does a better job at encouraging posting without fear that hate and downvotes are going to alter the way you post or what you think. GAG has benefits for what you're able to do at higher levels and a proper profile page, without asking you to pay anything. Reddit is very dressed down, but has tons of features, like avatars, dark/light mode selector, and premium paid features. And of course, GAG has a slant toward relationships, culture and fashion, whereas reddit is kind of a free-for-all.

It seems like each might have opportunities to learn from each other in some ways, but (as is) those of you who've used both reddit and GAG, do you have a preference on which you like best, all features considered? And if there is a fave, what's the feature or aspect of it that sells you as being superior to what you get elsewhere?

When I look at the snowball effect of technology that has been occurring and how it continues accelerating, I wonder if we will... someone... will "lose it" or consciously decide society is not ready for all this, and try to set us back a few centuries to slow it down.

A lot of the technology progress can be good. Trouble is, can hit on our worst issues... security, trust, fear.

Quantum computing, artificial intelligence, bio engineering, space... to name a few.

We are in a massive time of social change pushed by technological discovery.

Will someone try to throw sand into the cogs and slow it down?

Wars, plagues, social uprisings?

Do you think those in power might try to "pull the plug"... if it looks to be getting out of control?

Granted... often wars lead to new technologies. But what if many of the top physicists were retained by Germany and wiped out? They've done this in Cambodia and China and Germany before... terminating people. This time... it's global.

Mine is Don't Fear the Reaper

Mine used to be Google.. but these days I prefer Bing

Lets hear it... owned one? thought of buying, test driven. what's your view.

Test drove: I wanted to like it, but so much I did not like. Given the other factors of... they don't go as far on a charge as lied in the information, not as good in the cold, if battery damaged it's an explosive hazard and last but not least... very expensive.. I'm not interested.

I've had my gaming laptop since January 2020 and the past half year, it's been bugging out on me and slowing down in all sorts of ways. I can't exactly afford to buy a system that would surpass my current PC in all metrics, since that's exactly what I'd need and want in order to fulfill my wants in gaming and content creation, along with my needs in programming and AI (for my startups). I was thinking maybe instead of reinstalling Windows 10 and thus having reinstall all third party software, how about I switch over to Windows 11 before the security updates of 10 are discontinued and not have to reinstall anything?

I am aware that certain programs will probably either stop working unless I rely on extreme configs, mods, workarounds, etc., and also the new GUI will piss me off and also make me more happy too. I do have my stuff backed up through multiple cloud sources along with an external hard drive, but my internal SSDs are fine too. I would make the switch to Linux, but my PC uses Nvidia GPU and while I know that Proton, Wine, and DXVK exists, I don't wanna have to deal with that for now; not to mention the fact that my laptop has certain proprietary features like keyboard backlight and fan software that might not work in Linux.

I have automation (AI, robotics, IoT) and social media, as well as a side hustle involving tech consulting
