Can you imagine the ridicule Apple would face if they released an iPod without a headphone jack? This seems like a heavy-handed but natural progression of a certain unfortunate series of recent hardware decisions. :(

Minus being able to listen while charging (or dealing with more adapters), losing your adapter after you pocket it when you want to use your headphones on any other device, etc...

The most obvious problem, though, is that it seems like you're out of luck on older/new/temporary/public/borrowed/reset/etc devices, which is a big change from just being able to log in wherever you need w

Slack and their magic links are probably the most common exposure your users will have to this model. I can't speak on behalf of them, but I absolutely loathe sites/services that require logging in through email. It's fine if

I'm sure the ACLU is doing good things, but I've been outright harassed and insulted by their people on the street far too often to ever support the organization now.

This is pretty par for the course, though. Who else is incentivized to determine what is "good enough" wrt user experience/safety on Google's platform? Microsoft, Apple, Canonical, Samsung, Steam, Amazon, etc are all the

The difference is that the store includes any amount of heuristic tests meant to scan for malicious activity, and directly installing an APK has no such safety net. You can argue that the testing Google does is bad or minimal, but it seems

This seems necessary and good. There are occasional bad actor apps that slip through Google's app store review process and there are good apps that get sideloaded, but sideloading entails literally zero review. It's entirely up to

Well, it's effectively face-swapping but also includes hair and other non-face features of the head, so it seems strictly better than simply swapping faces. Therefore, the intended use is probably a superset of face swapping uses. With

Yeah, both seem odd. I get different results between them on many of my accounts. I'm not sure how they'd even check for some of these without authing as your account.

One small note on the screen (especially wrt travel and/or OP's requirement for a good battery life): "worse" screens will often give significantly better battery life. I downgraded my 4K/60 to a 1080/60 on pur

Would definitely second Razer. The build quality and touchpad are the best I've ever used and the only real downside is the price. But if it's in the budget, I'd definitely recommend.

>You touch and interact with a laptop far more often than a video game console. While is this true, the number of console wars spawned from comparing physical controller feel might bring the parallel back on track.

Razer's a bit overpriced (a la Mac) but I really like the build quality and the specs are typically great. My current Razer Blade Stealth was about $2000 and has worked flawlessly for about a year now (and my previous RBS worked flawle

Based on their incident report, it sounds more like someone gained access to the OAuth tokens used to authenticate with linked GitHub repos, which would actually be both read _and_ write access to all source code of repos linked to Heroku a

Same with the Chrono Cross remaster this weekend: I'm already inundated with content farms spewing (bad) rehashes of tutorials from 20 years ago. We've come a long way from text-only 200-page gameFAQ .txt tutorials to more-ads-on-

I switched from Heroku to AWS, then eventually back to Heroku. Heroku to AWS was for cost reasons (cut monthly costs by roughly 35%) but wasn't enough savings to justify hiring a devops person. As soon as there were too many issues I d

Yeah, there's a lot of 2D assets that this model would be great for (textures, materials, *maps, etc) that would definitely improve the asset-building process for game devs. I've already used VQGAN+CLIP for some low-res skill and

I think there's an interesting parallel between your John Deere harvester and the Nvidia GPUs that can-but-restricts crypto mining, which people have, indeed, largely complained about.
