Nectar is especially bad here. I signed up because Sainsbury’s have ‘special’ prices for nectar card users on many items (presumably they increase the price and then reduce it back down for cardholders). But there was no way to opt out of m

I’ve just tried that and it’s true although on my instance searching ‘airplane’ gives good results. I wonder if it’s due to an insufficient number of images in the demo? I also took the advice in the forums to tweak the exact model version

Immich (self hosted Google photos alternative) has been using CLIP models for smart search for a while and anecdotally seems to work really well - it indexes fast and results are of similar quality to the giant SaaS providers.

There are pocketable FF camera with prime lenses and pocketable 1” sensor cameras with zooms. Those old 35mm film pocketable zooms had terrible apertures but a RX100M3 with a 1.8-2.8 aperture has a comparable effective aperture to some FF m

It only works for things where the key is stored on the chip or phones where the key is stored in a TPM or equivalent and relies on a PIN to release it, as opposed to typical use of encryption where the full key is entered to unlock. An att

Assuming they use different embedded keys per camera (which is unfortunately unlikely) instead of the same key on every chip, this can be defeated by demanding to see the intact camera before accepting the signature. Ion beam assisted probi

This completely misses the point. Lockdown wasn’t a top down imposition. Boris and his advisors were extremely sceptical of lockdown and initially refused it. They only imposed it after polls showed the public were hugely in favour of a mor
