Google autofill overlaying the webpage form's autocomplete e.g. nzpost

Would be cool if google autofill auto-disabled for such forms

Lizard1977: And it really bugs me how people have labelled these things as AI, because it dilutes what would be a truly groundbreaking development.

I got this far through your post and thought "this reminds me of those so-called hoverboards". Then I read the following paragraph. Great minds think alike!

The fact that Google actually censors the internet by virtue of the search results it returns.

Feel free to use Bing or DuckDuckGo.

"Harmless to humans", apart from the heart attack. And judging by the scientific name, it also wants to give me cancer! 😛

Seeing "Henderson" on Vectors hot water restored list on Friday afternoon and looking forward to having a hot shower when I get home.

It appears according to Vector I live in "Henderson South" - a suburb that got added to the list the next day with a "Work currently in progress" label...

My wife has been using DuckDuckGo for a little while now. Every once and a while I hear a muttered curse across the living room, when she's searching for something reasonably straightforward, and apparently DDG doesn't seem to know what she's talking about (whilst Google will return plenty of results). We joked that the reason it's so secure is because no-one's using it...

I personally still use Google. It has the answers I need, and I don't subscribe the "they censor the Internet" conspiracy theories.

I use different ones, mainly Startpage, DDG and Google. If it is not something obvious, I sometimes start clicking two or three pages down to avoid the stuff that is just at the top because it is playing the ranking system.

People who ask for advice here on gz - and when people ask for more info so as to be able to give more accurate advice, you never hear from the OP again.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.

Doctor's appointments. They are never, ever, ever on time. Why don't they just make them a half-hour later?

I used to have a GP, nice guy, but who was always running late, so I started making my appointments to be the first of his day. Even then he would turn up 15-20 minutes late. He would never say anything like ‘sorry I’m late’ and it used to absolutely infuriate me. FFS.

One time this happened and again I was very pissed off. When he took my blood pressure at the beginning, he said ‘Oh, it’s a little high’. I said ‘Well what do you expect - I’m extremely agitated’.

So he asked why, I said “Is there any particular reason that you’re late today?” [No.] “You kept me waiting 20 minutes without apology. You’re always late and this is your first appointment of the day. Do you think your time is more important than mine? I’m a professional person too and time is money to me. I find your repeated lateness high-handed and arrogant”.

He was very taken aback and apologetic and said timekeeping was one of his weaknesses. I only had one or two further appointments with him before we moved house to another area and I changed doctors.

Sometimes I just sit and think. Other times I just sit.
