Iridium, Globalstar, and Inmarsat aren’t falling out of the sky because of this, and they don’t even fight over the same spectrum. Not to mention terrestrial cellular deployments still continue to get cheaper, now including self contained r

The point is that it was broken on purpose until they finally had to cave to pressure because it was such a pain in the butt. Being able to choose a picture to upload from a phone wasn’t new or hi-tech, and could be done just fine on featur

So I’m not allowed to watch content specific to my country just because a person in another country says so?

I know this advice is like 10 years too late, but if you leave the lid open on a MacBook in a dark room it will be able to use the light sensor that controls the screen/keyboard brightness to also dim the power indicator light.

I’m confused, you are searching for, specifically, a local phone number and you are upset that the machine interprets that as you looking for a local result? That’s what most people expect from a local number search. Perhaps the incorrect t

That may have been true in the past, but the game is now over 75 years old. There is just absolutely zero chance that the inventors of the game would have been more motivated to invent if they were given a longer exclusive term. Since the s

The security threat models are wildly different though. A “no-code” solution won’t be convinced to export private data with the right conversational English smooshed into the username field, for example.

It’s really fun asking/showing those people how much estrogen is in cow’s milk. After all, milk is meant to be consumed only by babies.

One example that made the rounds recently after a Consumer Rwports…report was Honda’s privacy policy which explicitly states they can do whatever they want with the contents of your text messages, including analyzing them a d selling them.

I have a shared iCloud folder with my dad with a few .mp4s in it that will consistently cause a hard crash on any iOS device by just…viewing the folder in Files. It crashes so hard that the entire system locks up and you can’t close the app

That’s something weird with your setup, GitHub works just fine on Firefox for everyone else.

I still don’t understand why that’s an argument against government spending.

Can you explain how your statement follows from the parent? To me it reads like a slippery slope type statement.

I will. Customers benefit from features. In this case the feature is using light to measure blood oxygen, which has been done for close to a century, and was invented before the company trolling Apple was even formed. Unfortunately our brok

Ok, then what was the point you were actually trying to make while listing minority groups with high specificity? Let’s start from a point of common understanding: I agree that it is a bad thing to oppress minority groups.

Can you name one non-democracy that isn’t doing exactly those same things?

For the same reason we still do: it’s incredibly profitable for the people who make weapons.

Based on your statements here, it sure seems like you care. What motivates you to claim otherwise?

I just took a 24v AC wall wart power supply and shoved it in the same terminals as the hot and neutral control on the smart thermostat. The A in AC makes this arrangement work just fine to allow the battery of the thermostat to charge witho

From what I’ve gathered talking to people who work there about 80-90% of the tech is a gig worker in Africa or Asia diligently watching a bunch of cameras and typing stuff in that gets rebranded as AI.

You missed the second half of the equation. For the long foreseeable future, solar will still require the use of natural gas for many seasonal events. Nobody seems to worry about storing the waste from that but is very concerned about the t
