<p>Even without price sensitivity, taste is a thing.<p>Been in plenty of meetings where lunch and drinks are catered. Either you order enough variety that everyone can find something they'll like, or you take individual orders.<p>"AI, bring me ${food}" is too nonspecific to ever get you what you want. And as soon as you have it present options, you're now in a flow that would have been faster done manually.</p>

<p>This is the one thing I'm rather excited to use the touchscreen for. Would be genuinely useful to me right now. Beyond that though...... I can't see using Touch much.<p>I hope this sells well enough that they might later go the EXTRA step to a Pencil supported 360-hinged MBP.<p>I'm a hardcore iPad Pro + Pencil lover. And 
I'm very tired of carrying both a MacBook for the full OS + keyboard, PLUS a whole separate tablet for sketching, illustration, annotation, etc.</p>

<p>Yep. Clown show.<p>> The hackers said they were able to access the Android system on the camera, and found two partitions—sections of its hard-drive, essentially. A few of these were unencrypted, the hackers said, including one called “vendor” and another called “media.” The latter contained an encryption key that unlocked another part, which contained much of the media—think, the videos and stills—the camera took.<p>> In early 2025, security researcher Jon “GainSec” Gaines reverse engineered a Flock license-plate reader and documented flaws that could be used to gain root-level access. After Gaines disclosed his findings, the company acknowledged the findings but downplayed their severity, writing that the flaws required physical access to the device and that even someone who gained access to a camera “would still not be able to gain access to footage” because images remained on the device only briefly after being transmitted to the cloud.<p>Source: <a href="https://www.404media.co/hackers-stole-flocks-camera-software-revealing-how-the-company-tracks-cars-and-people-2/" rel="nofollow">https://www.404media.co/hackers-stole-flocks-camera-software...</a></p>

<p>In general I agree. I like having a State, whose definition is more or less the (hopefully judicious) monopoly on such violence.<p>But the State seems to be doing an end run on restrictions against unreasonable (warrantless) search which we've agreed it should be constrained on, by giving private entities carte blanche to lowjack the entire population and sell that data to whomever they like (so long as the State gets to cheat by buying from them too).<p>And so far, the most notable uses of this workaround by government seems to be..... cops stalking women for fun.<p>All in all l, I'm not particularly happy with the government having this power while it is clearly not being used responsibly.</p>

<p>A frequent argument made in Flock's favor is that if you are in public there isn't an expectation of privacy. That Flock can see where you go just like any other driver. Particularly since Flock is a private entity not the government. This is the Other Driver behaving antisocially towards one driver EXACTLY as Flock does to all drivers.</p>
