We've been without a lot of things for millennia

No, they just include libarchive in Windows

I've only gotten that when I've mistyped the encryption password. They really should improve the handling of that.

This is something that Rust is specifically designed to prevent.

Not sure if Google Lens counts as AI, but Circle to Search is a cool feature.

Not to the point where it's worth having a button for it permanently taking up space at the bottom of the screen.

On a lot of phones you can hide the navigation pill, but Samsung started forcibly showing it when they added Circle to Search. Fortunately I don't have a Samsung phone.

They're also generally lower quality

A big blocker that the article surprisingly doesn't talk about is tons of IoT stuff that uses 2G and 3G. Stuff like alarm systems, emergency phones, street light control, cars etc. Here in Sweden there was recently a report that thousands of elevators have emergency phones using 2G and 3G, and if the network is shut down you would no longer be allowed to use those elevators. And since 2018 all new cars in the EU has to have eCall, which alerts emergency services on a crash. Many of these use 2G and 3G, and if it stops working the car won't pass inspection so you'll no longer be allowed to drive it.

It's not even that, there are multiple languages spoken in the same region. Webpages should just use the language the browser tells it to use.

A robot doesn't need to be anthropomorphic, an assembly line robot is still a robot. It does however need to be able to perform some actions autonomously, for which a vibrator hardly qualifies.

Yes, it says so in the first paragraph

Still doesn't allow background playback though, so it's useless to me

I don't think there has ever been a PPU on the GPU. It did originally run on PPU cards by Ageia, but AFAIK PhysX on GPU:s used CUDA GPGPU right from the start.
