If not here, I don’t know where. If you don’t understand the technology is being overhyped, it’s just a silly joke that doesn’t reflect reality.

Well, if i had any interest in answering phones, I wouldn’t have dismantle them in the first place. Or, for younger folks, the risk of losing contact for installing a custom OS in your phone is not that big.

I’m sorry to jump in out of nowhere, but this argument can be used against your top comment in this thread. Some people listen to single tracks, others to whole albums. Am I missing something? I thought you two were just comparing points of view, not trying to decide who was right.

I finally realized that all the fact checkers that were fired in other places are now probably working at The Onion.

Lower ports are reserved, so they don’t want to create more issues when users apply the lazy solution. If problems start days later, people will remember they followed some weird instructions, buy they will forget weeks later.

Do you think that’s universal or only applied to the USA? And how does the article support your opinion?

Police on high alert, woman appears with a gun and is not shot dead on sight. She actually goes back inside to get someone else without being shot again for moving. Not impossible, even credible if what she was carrying was not a gun.

Please, don’t take this to a private conversation if it’s not a private matter. The topic you were discussing would benefit others and being open offers the chance for someone to jump in with a unique perspective.

Now, about the way you expressed your opinion on the assault received. I don’t have a degree in psychology, but I believe you shouldn’t so nonchalantly analyse someone’s behavior after just one interaction and you definitely shouldn’t treat it with levity (“to die on”). Also, personally, I think you should only advise people to seek help when it’s for their on benefit, not because you don’t approve their behavior. You might have had the best intentions, but the language you use is important.

You didn’t ask the same thing.

I’ve learned people adapt really fast when you take away something they really want to have. In Brazil, WhatsApp blackouts were met with a rapid adoption of telegram. Meta knows for sure they can’t pressure the government through the population here.

I’m very sorry for you. People might not realize how traumatizing having to deal with it can be. It definitely shouldn’t be the responsibility of people without proper support or training.

I’m pretty sure this is one freedom US people won’t let technology take away in the name of safety and ease of use. The roads and the culture are the problem. You can go fast and people will say going as fast as you can the whole time is the right way to drive.

Headphone manufacturers need access to system functionalities such as proximity auto-pairing and automatic audio switching.

If Apple were a restaurant, they wouldn’t provide tableware for free and would charge you for bringing your own while tying one of your hands behind your back.

Hey, as long as the competition is reasonable, you can be as unreasonable as you want and say the customer has options. Curious they never say their customers appreciate what they do as a defense.

Considering you can’t sell platinum for money, you could add complexity by converting it to another currency when exchanging hands. No value lost, exact same ratio. You buy platinum, you spend it on the store or it decays when you give it to another player. Platinum carries real world value, decayed doesn’t. Would that work? The only reason for doing that would be to obfuscate the fact platinum has real world value. The players being constantly aware of the fact might mess with the economy.

Honestly, their monetization is really something I could never criticize.

Only the best minds can make them look good. Lesser institutions shouldn’t be able to get them.

Reading the discussions and some of the disagreements, a correction is needed to be more precise.

Some XX people will be Assigned Male At Birth. Some XY people will be Assigned Female At Birth.

My cynical take is that Facebook wants the money from ads target at children, but not the responsibility of vetting the apps they might download because the trust the platform they are in. Google and Apple just want to pass the responsibility to developers and create laws that punish them for misusing tools they want to provide so other people deal with the complaints.

Still being cynical. It’s not that big corporations can’t do anything. They just can’t do anything without using their own money.

The conflict that people that hate both copyright and exploitative AI had just got resolved. It’s nothing new, but I still get surprised by how shameless the justifications can be.

“Your honor, if I hadn’t stole all that money, I couldn’t be investing to make myself more money. Think about it, it was so much that I had to hire people to help me, so I created jobs.”

Google control the browser most people use and that browser could be defaulted to use a different search engine, which controls what you see when you have a question. They can take control from google and allow a real ally to buy it.

I think that is a little backwards thinking. Common folk are at these events taking the pictures. Common folk are producing high quality content. I’m pretty sure the celebrities themselves wouldn’t have as much information on their peers as the collective of researchers do. Far from mere spectators.
