I can't tell about windows - never used autocorrect there - but GBoard became laughable. I don't think I was able to use its suggestions since a few years. For instance, it will NEVER but really never put a uppercase I when I'm talking about myself. Never. I could select it from suggestions if I feel like, but I kinda gave up (this is written in Windows, that's why you see capital Is). Or my name, used quite often right, is also never spelled correctly - although it's there in the suggestions. I am using a yahoo email, GBoard knows the username, but it will ALWAYS suggest a gmail extension, which simply doesn't exist. I don't know any other keyboard which can properly handle multiple languages, so I'm stuck with GBoard, but it's nothing to be proud of.
I have the same email @yahoo.com and @gmail.com (one is mostly for online shops etc), and the amount of time GBoard thinks it needs to recommend @gmail.com, it's obnoxious...
But the correction offers are still okay for me, I can mash keys around my email username and one of the corrections offered will be my username...
No it cannot. SwiftKey has exactly two "languages": one is French, the other is German/English/Italian/Romanian. Yes it's a mash of all four, which makes the default swiped word and the suggestions exactly useless. Who the hell thought that was a good idea... only Samsung keyboard offers separate languages as well, but it's kinda worse in suggestions than GBoard.
Creating chaos in democracies is forcing the elected politicians to focus on the interior, thus leaving them less resources (or public interest) for stopping remote invasions.
Based on the aggressive reactions all across the billionaire board toward the European wrist-slap initiative, I would guess Europe is moving in the correct direction with it and the slaps would correctly hurt.
On which grounds would you punish some companies which are using a fully legal platform? If you had beef with the ad contents, you'd punish them already for that. But if you have beef with the platform algorithms, punish them for exactly that. Not over proxies! As long the algorithm was designed for creating dependence, than regulate that - exactly like you (should) regulate other substances creating dependence. And some countries are going exactly this way: not only Australia but also Finland, Spain...
Ok, imagine a law punishing a platform comes out. How will it be enforced? You can fine the companies but they can just close presence in europe. YouTube will continue to work even if all the YouTube's servers in europe are gone.
Or should the only outcome of the law be that the police could confiscate phones from kids? punish parents for allowing social media?
Laws are not useless, at least teachers and parents will have a clear call to action. But still
You'd be surprised. I'm already sorry if I sound condescending, I just don't know how to rephrase this: please but please look around how effective is nowadays all that internet, dare to say more and more effective, in pushing "alternative truth" for the obvious goal of covering dirty businesses, wars, and even more crimes.
I'm using Jetbrain's AI Assistant (Junie, with different LLMs), and it also has frequent agent crashes (bye tokens) and sometimes is unreachable - albeit never longer than minutes so a few retries suffice. And even with the default Gemini 3 Flash I can easily burn through 10 or more bucks over a normal coding day (which is not every day, sometimes there's more reading). Do I still get value? Definitely. But it's not the easy life either.
