It’s been more than a few months. Also I am getting offers for meta glasses if I switch internet or cell carriers and shit, so I suspect some of those numbers are coming from wholesale contracts and not direct to customer purchases.

This has actually been the one thing I have been using AI for. I tell Gemini I’m going to cook some recipe and walk me through it and then ask questions as I’m going. Most of the time it does a decent job.

You might not notice your OIS is borked until you go on vacation and suddenly can’t get certain pictures to focus anymore. Excessive vibration and drops can definitely damage it. Though I imagine just a basic rubberized mount would help mitigate that a lot.

something that even low-end ANC earphones are doing

Because God forbid you take the fucking earbuds out of your head when talking to someone.

He didn’t even ask permission. He just started cutting the roof and nobody had the courage to ask him what he was doing.

Call me when they invent weed that makes me feel like I’m wearing grade 7 nipple clamps

The original standards developed by NIST were literally called Dilithium and Kyber.

America is fucking broken when it comes to guns. Like I get that they are emotional support toys for some people, but keeping it locked and loaded is absolute idiocy that way too many people defend.

My first computer of my own was a wiped surplus machine my father brought home from work, with a pack of Redhat floppies and an 800 page user manual in a binder. I was allowed to do whatever I wanted on it as long as I could figure it out myself.

So like, now I have a PhD in engineering. Weird how that works.

Schoolwork aside, none of those things are critical. I haven’t used Facebook since like 2009 and I turned into a successful, relatively well adjusted adult. I suppose there was even a good bit of porn thrown in there from time to time.

There’s already plenty of tools out there. Parents don’t use them, but that doesn’t stop them from whining about the problem. You can lead an idiot to water, and all that.

Labour government not punching themselves in the dick challenge (impossible)

I agree that this is probably closer to the truth, but the combination of dismissiveness and assuredness seems inappropriate. Even if this is just a rogue CS rep taking the piss, it certainly warrants a response from Sony.

I reject this PewDiePie redemption arc.

If you want population control, just get some buckets and put some water and a mosquito dunk in them. The mosquitos will be attracted to the stagnant water but all the eggs will get eaten by bacteria.

Radiative IR cooling is still orders of magnitude less efficient than convective cooling. There is precisely zero percent chance that orbital data centers will be less expensive than terrestrial ones.

Which is precisely why this will fail. Christians don’t actually believe anything they preach. They just want to be seen as pious, and a phone carrier doesn’t give them a visible virtue signal.

It’s likely the cloud backups they can read. Encrypted archives are hard to sync across devices while still keeping the same level of security. I always advise against it if you don’t have a good reason to do it.

It’s also all but confirmed that they use on-device keyword recognition for targeted advertising. So if the app can phone home for some keywords, then it can phone home for anything.

The way they are doing it is kind of sketchy though. They are replacing the old search functionality with Gemini and now if you click the search icon in Google photos it immediately pops up asking you to pick your own face. There’s no option to skip this step, though you can still revert to the old search for now.

The creepy part is that when they ask you to select your face, it’s pretty clear they’ve already figured it out, because it’s the first face they show you.
