Siri legit has gotten dumber over the last few years and it only got worse with “Apple Intelligence”.

I used to rely on her a lot more but I can’t trust her for the most basic shit anymore. It’s easier to go into my phone app and pick my contact to call. At least I know it’s not going to do something dumb like call my ex when I said call my mom.

I used to like having the option to tell Siri to “play that album” when playing a random song and she forgot how to do that. Also the whole change to just playing the song instead of playing the song with the album, or remembering my choice to keep repeat on. It’s infuriating because all they had to do was leave it alone.

They might! A lot of the products they offer through Amazon Vine are clearly Chinese products, through and through. Definitely just seems to be small time sellers trying to get their products seen and get some reviews to get a better head start in exchange for giving some people a free sample.

On Reddit, there’s a subreddit for it and people like to show off their hauls. People sometimes get laptops and cell phones and you can tell because they’re usually Chinese, not the standard Apple or HP kind of laptop. But a free laptop is a free laptop!

Though sometimes we get some non-Chinese stuff like I got a $300 water cooler recently that wasn’t from a small time Chinese shop. Probably made there, but not the same type of thing shipped and sold from there.

If anyone is interested in joining, it’s invite only and the invite seems to get triggered when you do enough Amazon reviews. Not sure the threshold and I don’t think they make it public. It’s probably more so a ratio thing, how many products you receive versus how many reviews you do for those things bought and then you sign into their portal and they have a whole slew of stuff to pick from. You’ll see in the reviews a little green badge that indicates if a review has been done by someone who received it in Amazon Vine for free, so you’ll often see a lot of these small time operations’ listings have tons of Vine reviews.

Not sure how sellers post their stuff, they might not even know the program’s name.

That ear scene in Reservoir Dogs was insane but he did his roles so well.

RIP

That’s why Amazon has the Vine program. They give “free” items to customers to review and they are genuine reviews, or should be. And for the purpose of giving new items a chance on Amazon to start with some reviews and other reviewers are aware of it.

I’m part of it and I have to pay income tax on the stuff I get, but that’s it.

I did have one asshole seller recently who said I and other reviewers were lying. The listing showed a completely different product and myself and others stated such and the seller reported us for fake reviews and removed the pictures showing they were lying. Fucking pissed me off and I still get emails telling me about my review getting removed sometimes now.

I used to do the illegal way before I knew it was illegal. A guy from China would hit me up and I would choose a few items off his list and I would order them, give them 5 star reviews and I would send him the receipt and he would send me back the money in PayPal and a little extra, like an extra $5-$7.

I gave everything 5 stars and part of it was adding pictures/videos, but I tried to be honest, in terms of actually talking about what I liked about it.

Only did it like 3 times and got a kids camera and vacuum and a HDMI converter. I still have the stuff so it wasn’t all crap.

I think a lot of these sellers prefer the illegal way because it’s guaranteed 5 star reviews than just exposure, especially when they know they’re selling straight up garbage.

My remark about abandoning support has more to do with their choice to break the game a year ago and never properly fix it than releasing new features/stories like this.

But this is a slight part of it too since Bethesda is going more towards “10 year games” now. This could have been on the cusp or in the last 10 years.

More additions like this would have been a vastly better use of their time than what we got in 76.

Just another example of Nintendo sucking.

I’m so glad I didn’t buy this piece of shit. Keep your junk, Nintendo. I’ll enjoy your games on PC when emulation comes.

Which is funny because I would have been a paying customer. But now I don’t have to!

It sounds pretty cool. Wish this were official, but mods are all we can get nowadays since they seem to have abandoned support.

*lawyers, and then the users

I’m in a bit of a similar situation too.

You just have to move on. Try to remind yourself of the bad memories when the good ones come up. Sometimes that helps.

Unfortunately the biggest way to let go is to find someone new to replace them. She replaced someone else who I couldn’t let go of and now I don’t ever think of that person anymore.

It’s just more multiplayer garbage. That’s all their new news is anymore.

This site is such garbage how they purposely use these vague titles instead of just saying the name of the game.

Pathetic attempt to drive traffic just because someone can’t see the name of the game in the title.

Yeah I’ve had this feature with the Gmail app on iPhone for quite some time. I use it often on that and Yahoo Mail and Outlook in the same manner.

I’m saying I’m surprised that the Gmail app on iPhone had this before Android got it.
