Screen sharing? Hold on, those extra-advanced features could wait. Microsoft should focus first on message delivery (notifications may be delayed for hours), showing media in chats (picture and videos fail to show most of the time) and just

That's basically how "AI detectors" work, they're just ML models trained to classify human- vs LLM-generated content apart. As we all (hopefully) know, despite provider claims, they don't really work any well.

Sure, but that's the point of an end-to-end auditable system so you don't have to trust whoever implements it. The whole idea is that no crooks can make math work any differently than it does.

No party in the US seem to fight for a secure (end-to-end auditable) voting process. I've yet to hear any politician talk about anything like that, a process where no voter has to trust the system and can be still confident (assuming t

LE Audio now has GMAP (Gaming Audio Profile) which supposedly solves the problem with HFP/HSP crap. However, almost no hardware out there seem to support it - the only one I’ve read about are some Creative earbuds (Aurvana 2, I think)

Sorry, I absolutely appreciate the explanation instead of a snark remark, but I don’t understand. What was tired or supposed to work out? Not ostracizing is not exactly a solution (grandparent comment haven’t made suggestions as to what to

It is incredible, because a lot of people dismiss it so eagerly. Let me try to phrase it differently: ostracization rarely yields positive results, and is more likely to lead to opposite of desired course of action through future radicaliza

Ads and “scammy” tactics were always like bread and butter. The whole point of industry is to just increase the numbers using whatever means possible except for what the industry deems unquestionably unacceptable, after all. So, naturally,

Oh, well, forget all that bullshit please. I can see how that "smart" is utter nonsense no one possibly wants. If you need an app and Internet connection to operate a home appliance that's stupid , not smart. Crapware vend

Disagree. Smart can be good, if you're actually in full control (whenever you contract the implementation to a company or own it). The real problem is, there's not much on the market that respects the consumers in this regard. Ask

Mild/high-functional autism, as far as I understand it, is not even an illness but a variant of normalcy. Just different.

Fair point, thank you. In practice - yes, that could happen I guess. I lived in Russia, I've seen a lot worse "creativity" from the courts. Ideally, though, such "creative legalese" shouldn't be a thing, as it

One surely can be charged with anything. What I'm trying to say is that tampering or compromising safety of the flight are IMHO highly improbable charges that are very unlikely to appear, and even less likely to stick. Hell, I strongly

I don't understand the argument here. Both can be true, as those two statements don't really conflict: 1. Longer sentences could have no effect on crime rates. 2. Persecuting people for crimes lowers crime rates. Honestly, to me i
