I watched a bit of Michael Alm’s video on this, but noped out when I saw all of the little boxes of consumables appearing. If regular printer ink is already exorbitant, I can only imagine what these proprietary cartridges will cost.

So many hours sunk into this game…

The auto-complete in VSCode is one of the few AI use cases that I actually find useful. Passing a whole bunch of args in a python class function call to set instance variables just becomes that little bit less tedious. Lots of little things like that add up to nice time savings.

The “ask copilot” features are absolutely terrible though.

“Here are your tablets and here is a box to piss into for the next week while you’re on antibiotics.”

I’m not disagreeing with your point as such, but implementing an entirely separate sewage system is probably impossible and the alternative is kinda gross.

As I said in another comment, the real solution is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.

All medications should be disposed of separately to other waste. I’m not sure how it’s handled worldwide, but my country allows disposal in community pharmacies.

Many antibiotics (e.g. pretty much all penicillins) don’t get broken down significantly on passing through the body, so a major source of contamination is coming from human waste and inducing bacterial resistance in the bacteria in the wastewater system.

The real solution here is to reduce unnecessary antibiotic usage.

Stranger still to make the headline about one small paragraph in the middle of the piece that was clearly an aside.

Don’t forget paying with phones and watches!

E-LIM-INATE!

Contactless payments more so than credit cards.

This is the main reason I switched to Firefox on Android.
