If you wanted to decrease the cost of homes, one thing you wouldn’t do is put a flat tariff on your main source of timber.
I know this sounds weak, I know it. But kindness is one of the few things we carry that can make a difference for each other. We can’t undo all this hate, but we can still make life a little easier for others.
How to turn off Gemini AI in Gmail: • Go to "Settings" • Go to "General" • Scroll down + unclick all boxes labeled "Smart Features & Personalization" (For me there were two boxes to unclick) Once I did that I rechecked Settings & found that no less than (10) different categories deployed AI 🤢
