You’re in a car. There’s probably a charging port there. Sucks if you don’t have a phone, but it sucked before when you didn’t have change.
Parking has always been a privilege not a right, and if you’re not prepared you’re going to get a ticket.
I get that it’s annoying but if my phone broke and I suddenly had to pay for parking with coins, I don’t know what I’d do either. Everything is cashless now, where would I get coins from?
Yeah but parking has always been bad.
You had to carry change. Meters were always out of order or would just eat your change without issuing a ticket, and the people checking never gave a shit and would give you a fine anyway.
My only complaint is the app, everyone should offer a website or an app, but if you’re going to park there a few times an app does make sense.
Because they’re fucking stupid.
I can pick up a phone in either hand and type on it using only that hand, and I can play games using both hands at once. If I’m using a bracer, it means I can’t do anything else with either hand or use my off hand to interact with it.
The only problem a bracer solves is not having pockets, but even then you still need to wear a bracer.
Then you wouldn’t need to tell people to work more hours.
This is the most famous example, but it’s for phones rather than desktops.
Same with OneDrive.
It’s just a folder of markdown files, basically anything should work.
Tor browser is not Tor.
This is Tor https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tor_(network)
Tor browser is an additional piece of software built on top of it. Using the network(what everyone else means when they say tor) is unfortunately not enough to prevent fingerprinting.
No it isn’t.
And this is really important. If you go on Google tracked websites without tor, Google will still know it’s you when you use tor, even if you’ve cleared all your cookies.
Tor means people don’t know your IP address. It doesn’t protect against other channels of privacy attack.
Just asking questions makes it harder to sue under English libel law.
Look at the difference.
Elon musk is a Nazi.
A clear factual statement leaves room for disagreement. Maybe he’s just an edgelord fascist radicalized by 4chan but doesn’t have enough fashion sense to be a Nazi.
Elon musk is a Nazi?
Perfectly safe.
Hash tables are super efficient when they’re not nearly full. So the standard trick is just to resize them when they’re too close to capacity.
The new approach is probably only going to be useful in highly memory constrained applications, where resizing isn’t an option.
The irony is that if he’d just looked up how to build a fertilizer bomb on YouTube he’d have got much better advice.
It’s about generative AI as it is currently used.
But yeah, the complaints everyone has about Gen AI are mostly driven by speculative venture capital. The only advantage Google and openai can maintain over open source models is a willingness to spend more per token than a hobbyist. So they’re pumping cash in to subsidize their LLMs and it carries with it a stupidly high environmental cost.
There’s no possible end game here. Unlike the normal tech monopolies, you can’t put hobbiest models out of business, by subsidizing your own products. But the market is irrational and expects a general AI, and is encouraging this behavior.
That’s probably more a stalling tactic then anything else.
The longer they can run down the clock, the greater the chance is that Trump dismantles the FCC before the case is over, and even if he doesn’t do that it lets them keep selling data for longer.
I just went looking for this. Here’s a link to the podcast for everyone else: https://pca.st/episode/b8388458-0062-47c5-a259-fae295a45305
It just says can be activated. Not “automatically activates”.
Kill switches are overly dramatic silliness. Anything with a power button has a kill switch. It sounds impressive but it’s just theatre.
The app phones home to access recipes.
Maybe it works without access to the server, but maybe it just refuses to do anything.
It’s all pure CEO bullshit though, and none of it is real.
It doesn’t cost money to send a Bluetooth signal from your phone to a sous vide. Maybe the WiFi server costs money but it’s their own fault for adding stupid functionality that phones home.
I’ve got one of these and I’m prepared to bet money that almost all of their server costs come down to every recipe in the app just being a link to a web page with lots of photos. https://recipes.anovaculinary.com/
There’s a particular joy to going all the way into the office so you can sit in remote meetings all day. Really makes you feel like your time is valued.
Just to remind everyone that this is always what the supreme court does.
They pick the most fascist outcome, and then search for any legal argument that will give them the outcome they want.
