Microsoft shuts down Cortana, Apple should do the same with Siri by rockrit in c/technology@lemmy.world

I’m kinda glad it’s over. Cortana killed the very useful voice commands on Xbox (alongside the size and price of the Kinect).

Instead of “Xbox On” you had to actually instruct Cortana to turn it on. The same for the quick screenshot or changing the channel on TV or whatever. It was so good, my whole family was using it and this was in 2014ish when voice control was still fairly new. Cortana ruined all of that for a virtual assistant that barely worked and made Siri look like AI.

Why Ben Sulayem pushes on with new team process despite F1 criticisms by rockrit in c/formula1@lemmy.world

This is interesting too - potential legal action if one of the successful bids to the FIA is denied

“What if one of the applying teams take us to court? They can, if we say no to them,” said Sulayem.

“It's not about me. I am only implementing the rules."

I really hope that they get at least one of the new teams on the grid. Despite the protests from the current teams, I think it will help grow the sport, provide more seats for drivers, and more jobs in motorsport, and it will just be super interesting to watch
