Is it only through the skin? I could see it being useful for some sort of implanted medical device/monitoring system.

That way you have something subcutaneous but the power source is strapped to the outside of your body so you can remove for short periods of time to wash/recharge it.

Why not both?

You mean waking up in the dark to a loud alarm clock to waking up in the morning to sunshine and fresh air?

I had a phone with one on the back and currently have one with it on the screen. Personally I had absolutely no issues with its functionality in the screen and do prefer it over the back. I like that I can unlock my phone without having to pick it up off the desk or while its still in the mount on my vehicle dash.

Seems to work perfectly fine to me but maybe it’s a quality issues with the brand of phones. Mine is a OnePlus and it’s almost 4 years old now, still works fine and never had any issues.

Yes I know, but I was just trying to put into the perspective the person I was replying to.

Except the lifetime of the universe is quite small when compared to infinity, so it doesn’t really convey how large infinity is because it’s so much more.

That seems… Inefficient?

New Social media pops up every other year or so. Do they need to meet and vote to add new ones to the list every time?

I used chat gpt, mostly because I absolutely hate how widespread and pushy every company has been about using AI and throwing it in my face so I stubbornly refuse to use any of it.

Sometimes it’s helpful if I’m having trouble making a specific excel formula

One solution could be during PC initial setup, a list of all browsers above a certain user count is given and the person chooses which to install and use as default with the ability to change at a later date.

They should have little nozzles to disperse a cloud of pepper spray around the vehicle in emergencies.

Perhaps due to the reasons that executed prisoners need to be injected with a suspicious cocktail of drugs. No company wants to be connected to the death of a person. Perhaps they are worried they won’t be able to supply parts and components once the news gets out about what their product does.

It’s only a matter of time before Google doesn’t give you directions for the shortest and most efficient route, but rather plans your route to send you past the stores that pay the most in advertising.

“You could get to your destination by going down smith street fastest, but Glover Street has McDonald’s so we will send you down that road”

It shows little popup logos on the screen where the places are located, like a McDonald’s logo a few street over as you are driving by in your commute. I had it show me a Toyota logo for a Toyota dealership yesterday. Like, why do I need to know there’s a Toyota dealership there unless I’m specifically searching for it? Toyota probably paid them to show up a certain amount of times.

It’s pretty stupid to introduce ads on the pause screen. Usually I would pause something because I am either:

A) Being interrupted and need to focus on something else like a phone call or a family member talking to me, and wouldn’t be paying attention to the screen anyways.

B) Need to leave to go somewhere else like the fridge for a snack and wouldn’t be paying attention to the screen anyways.

Or

C) Just want to take a break and want to do something else which involves opening another window or program and wouldn’t be paying attention to the window with YouTube open.

In every scenario where I pause YouTube and add playing would not provide any value to the entity paying YouTube to play the ad.

And in every scenario, if an ad began playing when I pause youtube it would cause me to mute my sound and/or turn off my monitor and just cause me to get super annoyed at YouTube or at whatever product is being advertised and how to never buy it ever.

Lol, YouTube

Might sound stupid, but perhaps then they shouldn’t be offering services like Disney Plus and instead simply offer a car that lets you download any streaming app you have your own subscription for.

Products that change the service they offer after you purchase it should also be eligible for a full refund (plus a % on top for the hassle). Such as offering a service through the product for free at the time of purchase but then moving it being a monthly subscription paywall later on, or just removing the feature completely.
