nice

Spooky Phijkchu May 7, 2025 1:49 PM general

I think every? one of their technology areas is falling behind and their market share has nowhere to go but down

Spooky Phijkchu May 7, 2025 1:50 PM general

now, part of that's because they have such absurd market share and profits to begin with

Spooky Phijkchu May 7, 2025 1:50 PM general

but I really do think their complete failure to make inroads with AI will be their undoing

Spooky Phijkchu May 7, 2025 1:51 PM general

More than Ads, Search, Cloud, Android, Content delivery, Smart Homes, etc.

Spooky Phijkchu May 7, 2025 1:52 PM general

ChromeOS is probably their only positive rn

Spooky Phijkchu May 7, 2025 1:53 PM general

Max will probably think of something I'm forgetting

Spooky Phijkchu May 7, 2025 1:54 PM general

Will be interesting the angle Google takes, if they can't get their AI to catch on

taxes May 7, 2025 2:09 PM general

i do think the AI angle on literally everything is also hurting some markets tho

taxes May 7, 2025 2:09 PM general

I'm tired of seeing shit that has nothing to do with AI have AI on it or be AI compatible

taxes May 7, 2025 2:10 PM general

they're marketing monitors for "AI PCs" AKA if your pc has any AI in it, look this monitor works with your pc!!! because it has an hdmi port and they connect so its like... enabled!!!

taxes May 7, 2025 2:10 PM general

google will be fine

ChromeOS is probably their only positive rn

If chromeOS is your most positive thing going, you've got massive, foundational issues

why can I get 4am deliveries now?

Spooky Phijkchu May 7, 2025 7:07 PM general

in case you need it early

Spooky Phijkchu May 7, 2025 7:08 PM general

idk, I don't understand how their logistics network makes sense, unless people are willing to work for slave wages

Regi May 7, 2025 8:20 PM general

4am is first delivery shift

legorhin May 8, 2025 11:31 AM general

taxes May 8, 2025 11:43 AM general

in middle school

taxes May 8, 2025 11:43 AM general

i would use a gum wrapper

taxes May 8, 2025 11:43 AM general

and stick it inside the led on the front

taxes May 8, 2025 11:43 AM general

to turn on the other leds

taxes May 8, 2025 11:44 AM general

so my chromebook had any led color i wanted by using a gum wrapper foil.

taxes May 8, 2025 11:44 AM general

(unironically a fire hazard)

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:44 AM general

you had chromebooks in middle school?...

taxes May 8, 2025 11:44 AM general

im 22

taxes May 8, 2025 11:45 AM general

my county was one of the first in the country to adopt chromebooks

taxes May 8, 2025 11:45 AM general

to be clear

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:45 AM general

I forgot that's a thing now. I'm remembering now my cousins' children have chromebooks that they take home as well.

taxes May 8, 2025 11:46 AM general

Replying to taxes #tzfi

my county was one of the first in the country to adopt chromebooks

iirc google first offered it heavily in the east coast like virginia, nc, and maryland

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:46 AM general

I had chromebooks in like 5th grade

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

I think

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

I'm still really not a fan of giving kids chromebooks. I guarantee you there's no way they're paying as much attention in class when they have a computer in front of them

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

Maybe 4th

taxes May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

yeah around then is when they spread pretty hard

legorhin May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

is there any data supporting chromebooks having a positive benefit on standardized test scores?

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

They did WHAT?>

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

Replying to Rusp #rusp.

Maybe 4th

pen and paper is retarded

Dialga May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

when i was in school we got Macbooks

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:47 AM general

I promise I am not a child

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:48 AM general

pen and paper is dumb, I never took notes in class either, but I still had no other distractions, so I actually did pay attention sometimes.

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:48 AM general

Well, the way we did chromebooks was there was a cart

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:48 AM general

and you put it in there at the beginning of the day

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:48 AM general

and you can only get it out at alloted times

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:48 AM general

Which was usually more when we were doing things that actually required computers

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:49 AM general

IE some sort of website, "typing practice", kahoot

taxes May 8, 2025 11:49 AM general

chromebooks dont support internet explorer though

computers were never needed in anything outside of advanced science courses for me

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:50 AM general

Yeah, back in 5th grade I needed them for my astrophysics and shit

Yeah I really did not need a computer until I was using specific software for classes, like simulation projects.

legorhin May 8, 2025 11:52 AM general

chromebooks are just more overspending on students for likely no measurable improvements

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:53 AM general

I think the idea of getting kids used to computers makes sense

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:53 AM general

However a chromebook isnt a computer

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:53 AM general

Back in my day, we had a day where we would go to a specific computer lab to practice stuff like typing!

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

We had that too

legorhin May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

I hear about zoomers not knowing how to navigate directories

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

why did you have that AND chromebooks?

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

For when the computer lab was in use

taxes May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

its not about typing, its about being able to check your own grades and a list of assignments and seeing them assigned and communication with teachers in real time/from home thats

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

ALSO we had to take the chromebooks home for homework

taxes May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

the big benefit imo

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:54 AM general

it was so people who didnt have computers couldnt say IM TOO POOR

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:55 AM general

Do not give poor people an out, based!!!

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:55 AM general

I don't remember ever having any assignments that required a computer until college

legorhin May 8, 2025 11:56 AM general

I had to type some long reports in high school

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:56 AM general

We would have do reports and such on google docs

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

It's good for the environment to not use paper

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

Have you no heart

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

I do not!

legorhin May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

paper is such a fake environmental thing

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

Even if I typed a report, I still had to print it out and submit it in person.

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:57 AM general

We had to do that for reports

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:58 AM general

Homework we just sent in

TinyBomby May 8, 2025 11:58 AM general

yeah all my homewrok until college was hand written

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:59 AM general

I need the smiling friends clip where the guy says "you're so old where are your kids"

Rusp May 8, 2025 11:59 AM general

It's okay though, no matter how old you are you are certainly younger than Spooky
