The article ventured into Mossad territory, so I pointed out the absurdity of such a scenario. Distance or not, biometrics are part of a totalitarian future, and as such are to be avoided. The conversation about passwords will be moribund b

Ha! Are you handy? Try adding a solar panel to this hack. But remember to always face the sun. https://www.theverge.com/circuitbreaker/2021/2/1/22260540/ip...

Something that took removable rechargeable (AAA, AA) batteries, would that be on your list?

Using biometrics is far riskier than passwords at short physical distances. Meaning, if you're in the room with your assailant (alive, sleeping, or dead) then your bio-password is in plain sight. In fact, only your head and/or fin

I don't feel I need to specify pollutants at this point. The smell may be offensive, upsetting, linger. We can discuss potential harm that (along with the general air quality) additional secondhand weed smoke may have on the under thre

I am still concerned. The toddlers have no choice. And living poor, the adult has few alternatives.

I am concerned of a significant drop in the quality of air that surrounds the non-weed-smoking single mom of two young toddlers living in a block of flats encounters when the flats above, below, and to the side, are all occupied by legal we

How do you prosecute a robot that kills the wrong person? It's not possible. Would you then logically move on to prosecute the software programmer? And for what crime? Is it murder? (side note : ios slide to type will not allow the spe

Friendly reminder that CDs are music files, wrapped in a physical optical disc. For downloading, take a look at this list from Wikipedia. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_digital_music_...

No single music download site has 'everything', even mainstream. You have to shop around, maybe a little.

I work with audio, sometimes bird sounds (for interactive encyclopaedias), playing the driest, clearest, sound into the app is often right, but not always. You make a good point about the microphones. Sweeping through a sinewave can broadly

It was a test, appreciate you pointing it out. Stemming from a conversation about different net censorship approaches. It had to be basic (and deliberately crude, hence wording) to compare forum responses to such inappropriate and unsuitab

These apps do not work. I've tried all of them. Every app listed here, and the OP BirdNet, are so ineffectual. They have no idea what they are listening to (unless location is on) and they cannot discern a genuine tweet from a washing

Ultimately, the human pulling the trigger is responsible; no matter the sales pitch or law.

>if you do sell a "Throat-cutting knife" ... you are responsible for that. Interesting thought. I can't find an example in law. I'm not so sure the seller is responsible on any level once sold, even with that murderin

>only an assumption... leaked information could also come from... The first paragraph of the article broadly mentions an alt scenario. "Or, at least, an enormous trove of documents was leaked to journalists."

>London has ~700k cameras A fact that often scurries across my mind when I read about some crime caught in 4k (especially home security cams) for which the police are unable to find the culprits. Are all those cameras actually on?

> I particularly like the fact I can put a pair of over-the-ear headphones on top of them or even a pair of ear defenders if I'm doing DIY. Same here. I work with audio every day and that was a welcome unexpected bonus for me too.

Switch it. Are people, on average, who have never drank alcohol living longer and healthier lives than even those on the lowest level of consumption? This is far more relevant and the answer is likely to be 'depends' due to an ave

Apologies. This isn't how I wanted the poll to manifest itself. I am quite sure I followed the poll guidelines, but it certainly didn't add the "type on/in ear" addition as it should have. Obviously they are meant t
