Saved me a click through, I'm not mad about it

I use it every day in the same way I used to use Google. It's great for quick syntax reminders or low stakes 'searches'. If I want to know where to go in a video game, I'm always going to get an answer faster from chatGPT than Google, and it's not the end of the world if it hallucinates, although that has never even been a problem for me yet. Meanwhile Google just indexes 'recipe blog' type articles where you have to scroll past dozens of ads and drivel before you get to the actual info you're looking for.

If you treat it like old Google with a healthy dose of skepticism it's a very powerful tool. My only complaint is that it doesn't source it's info so I can't follow up or dive deeper very easily.

trackball mice

But why? These were never more popular than traditional mice

Sounds like you're a millennial with gen alpha kids. The latest generation is struggling to read and write, while millennials are the best typists

This happens to me when I add a word to the dictionary but it happened to be the first word of a sentence at the time I added it, so it got capitalized and now the dictionary thinks it's a proper noun

T9 just adapted the earlier lettering that phones already had on the numbers. '1-800-COL-LECT' Never intended you to type it as '1-800-222666555-555332228', you'd just dial 1-800-265-5328. but that's what you'd have to do to write it with T9.

They're delisting in regions without PSN. The irony of Helldivers is they backpedaled on PSN requirement but left it delisted in those countries. So people who already bought it can still play but new people can't buy, so the player base is steadily declining.

I'm glad they put the real headline in the URL so I don't have to click the bait. I hate the Internet now. It's like they want us to stay exclusively on the big platforms

I didn't see a single hitscan weapon in the entire trailer. Even the sniper was leading shots. Chaingun seems to be back for all weight classes instead of a dozen different 'assault rifle' weapons with short mags. Maybe they actually learned their lesson on how to make a tribes game this time.

It was severely mismanaged as early as the closed beta. I think they failed the execution so heavily that honestly the best option was to sunset it. The big blue update or whatever was actually a pretty pro-consumer move all things considered.

I might be ready to forgive them if they can execute this time. No f2p seems a little too reactionary especially in the current climate of fortnite, Apex, overwatch 2, Valorant, cs2, etc, but I'm cautiously optimistic for now.

I'd be happy if I could land a web dev role for 40k at this point

I don't know where you got that idea, there's definitely a mic on the bottom. The top mic hole is just for noise cancellation. Google even has an interactive diagram here https://support.google.com/pixelphone/answer/7157629?hl=en#zippy=%2Cpixel-pro
