Ultimately, yeah. The article points out that the way they want to do it is with unique designs, carbon neutrality, and transparency in the production chain.

I agree that we shouldn’t jump immediately to AI-enhancing it all. However, this survey is riddled with problems, from selection bias to external validity. Heck, even internal validity is a problem here! How does the survey account for social desirability bias, sunk cost fallacy, and anchoring bias? I’m so sorry if this sounds brutal or unfair, but I just hope to see less validity threats. I think I’d be less frustrated if the title could be something like “TechPowerUp survey shows 84% of 22,000 respondents don’t want AI-enhanced hardware”.

I remember reading that class is/was/has been one of the largest predictors of relationships lasting long.

I MISSED THE EQUIVALENT OF PLACE IN LEMMY? Does anyone have context?

Ah! You’re getting at something interesting in human psychology: the existence of knowledge (‘knowing’) versus being able to use that knowledge across situations (‘transfer’). Do you know the phases of learning, sometimes simplified as superficial (knowing-that), deep (knowing-how), and transfer (knowing-with)? If you do, how does that apply to this situation? If you don’t, I linked to a video but I’m happy to explain it 😊

Thanks for the tl;dw!

Thanks for your reply. It’s down to earth, compared to my speculation 😅 . I checked the DKIM signature (as well as the rest of the header) and it appears to be a genuine Microsoft message. Now, as to the old account theory, it might not be true, because I tried logging into Microsoft and was told there was no account associated with my email address. I suppose this also reduces the probability of the confused/mistyped address, since that person would’ve gotten the same ‘No account associated with this email address’ message.

That is why I lean toward the spearfishing campaign. Of course, I could be missing something and I just haven’t noticed…

Dead Cells! Made by a worker cooperative 🥳

I agree that avoiding Microsoft is a good measure. However, my fear was that someone had successfully hacked my email or had somehow set up a Microsoft account ‘on my behalf’. If someone opened a Microsoft account with my email and impersonated me, I wouldn’t be able to safely ignore the emails 🥲 But I get and agree with the broader point that we should stay away from Microsoft!
