Next time I need a screen protector I'll remember that my @dbrand prism installation experience was so good that I felt the need to tweet about it

As far as I can tell, @OpenAI's ChatGPT 4.5's advanced voice mode is the same as 4.0 except it asks you "does that make sense?" after everything it says even after you explicitly ask it not to
