I do have a smartphone. Their web based check-in used to close 3 or 4 hours before flight. By that time, your only option was a hefty fee at the airport.

You can not crash and still be shitty. Your ticket purchasing process can be an immensely frustrating experience, dodging a horde of dark patterns coming at you from every direction. Your check-in process may be a horrible user trap (you mu

Thank you so much for umatrix (I know, discontinued) and UBO, Raymond, and thanks to all the filter list maintainers.

And for half the use cases you still need one. Unless you go full SaaS (which may or may not be an option depending what you are doing, and what's on offer in that field), you still get stuff which needs to be administered, updated, pa

How long until you can feed it a few minutes of video of a random person (e.g. a politician) and have a convincing model you can animate and put in a different context? How do we develop technology to detect such forgeries?

If you have a source model to render, just do that, indeed. This is for doing the opposite - i.e. you input actual pictures, and it tries to understand the shape of things based on how they look different between pictures. Now you can creat

Precisely. An inherently unstable airframe with no passengers and with crew able to eject is perfectly acceptable. An airliner, not so much.

Yes. It has a rather unique style, as you'll soon find out, and sometimes its own lingo, mimicking UK tabloids, but it's quite worth reading. Their motto used to be "Biting the hand that feeds IT"

User A is also "unique", indeed... until more people start doing the same. Then they can no longer be told apart. We should agree on common set of absolutely minimal necessary data (User agent, supported fonts, screen resolution a

How do we help it die then, it's the most unwelcome, undesirable crap I've seen in years. Google used all its power to force it down everyone's throats, but it sucks so badly and nobody wants it. Not publishers, who recognize

As a fellow Italian (also from Roma), I fully support all your points. I often have a cappuccino in the evening in lieu of dinner, and wouldn’t bat an eye at people having it at any time of the day, except, as you write, immediately before&

I have been doing this for well over 10 years and can confirm the approach, with one small tweaks: The address for friends and family should be split in 2 - one for the really technologically literate ones, who will never do stupid crap wit

I add my voice to the chorus of complaints about dongles, but for the record you could also use an inline HDMI audio extractor which is invisible to the OS and requires no drivers for sure. They are also very cheap.

Even considering churches in the middle of the pandemic is, from an atheist point of view, equally warped. Isn't God supposedly anywhere by the way? Why do you have to stuff all the people in a specific building in the first place.

That works for goods, not so much for people. 2 examples: 1) You can't make the train longer than the station (think of a subway station) 2) I don't need 300 more seats on the 6:30 AM train, I'd like to sleep 30 minutes more

Ebay is often touted as her success credentials, but I really see it as another failure. There was no Amazon when Ebay was big. They could have BEEN Amazon. Also she bought Skype, but forgot to check that the IP was actually included in the

Replacing the cost of 1 conductor every 200 passengers is not nearly having the same impact. Moreover as others point out, it has actually been done and there are automated lines. Safety advantages are probably slim - when there's a t

Actually yes, we do. And I don't think this is excessively onerous. While not a legal requirement, it is a legitimate expectation, like having your "Good Morning" returned by someone, and we feel sad when this does not happen

If you use an ESP8266 board, like a NodeMCU or Wemos D1, of course you can - those come with a built-in USB interface. For many other devices, there's tuya-convert - creates a special hotspot which "captures" the device, then

While I agree with you on mandating it, a LIDAR "only" gives you a 3D point cloud. Great for detecting if an object is in your way - but it cannot read a stop sign, you still need a camera system for that - so they still have to h

Agreed, but when the iPad came out with it, I was hoping they'd find a way.

The one feature which would have had me (figuratively) running to the store was touch ID on a button like the iPad. We are 9 months into a pandemic and likely to be wearing masks for another 9, we use Apple pay all the time. Too bad. Nothi

If you keep it compressed, it will eventually cool down, but stay compressed.
