   So they refuse to report anything useful rather than make use of the single battery level. Amazingly every other brand of Bluetooth earbuds manage to report a useful battery level despite them having a separate battery in each side.

   From what it says, a rooted device is required because Apple made them behave differently depending on the host. Apple wouldn't have needed a rooted Android device to support all the features.

   What comes across as creepy about the techniques is that the approach doesn't seem to involve personal consequences; it seems to be sterile, like a game with no negative effects if it goes wrong. Normal people have all sorts of anxiety

   Good point. I was thinking why he didn't just do the V20 etc. on the FPGA, but then a software emulator would be more flexible. Having a real hardware interface that has the right timing is something software would have to work very ha

   The page background slowly fades in and out with a blue color. At first I thought my eyes were playing tricks on me.

   And it might have been exactly what the user wanted, to make everything larger so it's easier to see, not just text.

    If they had gone ahead and blocked local installs, and forced every apk to be signed by a registered developer, I'm assuming there would have been a strong push for a viable Linux on these devices.

    I've had success limiting the number of words output, e.g. "max 10 words" on a query. No room for fluff.

    So they can be less evil to more people rather than pushing people to a non-evil platform.

    Let me guess, a warning box that requires me to give permission to the app to install from third-party sources? Is that not clear enough confirmation that I know what I'm doing? /s

    Somehow I think having to use ADB instead of something like F-Droid with automatic updates would put a damper on things.

    A good portion of emails are basically a unified notification mechanism. Delete those once dealt with.

    What if businesses issues their own penny coupons that could be used in future purchases? If you bought from there regularly you'd on average only have a couple of them.

    And whenever tax is added it's usually a fraction of a penny as well. Rounding has been with us for a long time.

    Except they're backed by something of value (worth even more than a penny).

    Things have always been rounded (tax). There's just a change in what multiple it's rounded to.

    Try to be more mature. I was suggesting that cop cars that don't draw attention (except with lights on) do better at surprising criminals. I've seen plenty of dashcam videos (which is real-life) for example where someone doesn&#x2

    I meant that the benchmark sites could wait to show data for new hardware until multiple readings are logged from different accounts.

    Agreed. Author is trying to mix paradigms. Simplest approach if they want local handling and non-propagation of errors is to just have the file holder not check for open success, and check that manually after construction. Then you get guar

    It would have been comical if someone had altered the kill switches to instead alert someone to put extra scrutiny on the location when enabled.

    Don't publish benchmarks until a few data points for the same model come in from different sources, and are roughly the same?

    That's why you have to salt the + portion (look up an old email from the service if you forgot the alias).

    LLMs seem best at creative brainstorming, coming up with ideas to check that you hadn't thought of. Their weakness becomes a non-issue because ideas are just things for you to check the viability of, because they could be completely un
