I’ve seen other shitbag companies like Atlassian start to do this. You’ll have a paid subscription or whatever (In my case JIRA) that they force some garbage AI into which they claim is now totally integrated into the product, so “whoops! We can’t disable it.”
Drives me mad.
I permanently muted the mic on my home max speaker, but still use it for casting music, works well.
I do have a home assistant voice speaker for the timers though
I don’t like Foxconn necessarily, but the plants they started putting those nets in were basically cities with tens or hundreds of thousands of people. I don’t think you can put all the blame on the company since any group that large is going to have some suicidal people.
It’s the same in cities that build nets along the edges of bridges, or gates along train platforms. Doesn’t mean that the city is a hellscape, just reducing risks for suicidal ideation.
The trial was never about if she killed the kids or not (everyone is in agreement she did it), it was about if she was legally insane when it occurred.
This is such a gross move from MS, that will inevitably create more e-waste, just like their dumbass TPM 2.0 requirement.
Having said that, if anyone is looking for a solution (that isn’t just switch to Linux lol), I was able to turn my ancient Canon laser (with very tricky driver setup), into a driverless airprint model by using a raspberry pi as an intermediary.
You can connect your usb/wifi printer on the pi, and through cups/ avahi, host an airprint server on your network for any devices (desktop, laptop, phone, or whatever).
I think I used this guide before: https://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-airprint/
