Considering Discord is building a "teen council" to groom and shape the future of Discord, I've got some bad feelings as to the floodgates of crap that's going to open up. Kids are going to be too impressionable to fre

Of note, having recently shopped at Walmart for a self-setting alarm clock (what I once knew to be “atomic”): Apparently the entity today known as Sharp sells “AccuSet(tm)” branded clocks that “automatically set time”… but they’re just fact

You can do anything you want when you get a bunch of “noctor” NPs on your payroll to rubber stamp drugs for “patients” nonstop.

I’m kind of (un)surprised to see it just be Taboola’s slop from the ages past. I forgot Taboola even still pushes that garbage.

Room allocations - from what I understand, there is a pre-assignment process for housing. Students are “gaming the system” by getting access to buildings in specific locations (to lower their campus commute times) or by forcing single occup

Maybe Microsoft needs to fix the cart before they put the jet engines on top of it and try to kill the horses off. Go back to fixing what’s wrong with Windows, then worry about the AI software running on top of it and where you can add a va

And at the end of the day if the location is a hundred meters off... it might still not matter because it's how you frame it with other evidence beyond a reasonable doubt. Even the article mentions this. > I have served on a jury wh

Carrier* Android and iOS both integrate with RapidSOS UNITE. RapidSOS then processes the rich emergency information from the user's device (enhanced location, videos and photos, etc), and is available to the 911 dispatcher in their dis

I'm actually a little shocked seeing that there was a WebOS variant of the residential proxying SDK endpoint. Does that mean there might be a bit more unchecked malware lurking behind the scenes in the LG ecosystem? Personally I&#x27

Hell, if you're using Teams PSTN calling, your location has to be pulled in by Teams for e911 compliance anyways down to the building. It updates automatically already, even!

Just to revisit this - I actually bought an "automatic setting" clock now that I saw one at Walmart. Unfortunately, Sharp is lying. "Accu-Set(tm)" is them factory-programming the clock IC and just shipping a button cell

People can spin up magic crypto coins backed by other crypto coins at the push of a button. Dirtbag crypto people will spin up a coin in the name of someone's software product, give the project owner a bunch of coin, make them feel spe

Nope, just a normal camera + a lot of infrared light. Even modern fingerprint capture can be done with just a phone camera (but that’s also a feature of Amazon One’s enrollment process - you use your own phone to take photos of your palms

Not really - EV regen is really good. Even on my 4000 pound Fusion Hybrid, I don’t brake as often as I would in a gasoline powered vehicle because I’m able to coast down on the motor braking itself.

What's weird is it seems like for a long time now I haven't seen "self setting" clocks on retail shelves in a while at big box stores. Everyone went back to just manual timekeeping and I haven't seen a self-setter i

That’s kinda what I figured. At this point it seems like they all have the same general configuration of coolers and shelves and the same cameras all angled in the same setup everywhere so I assume it’s all down to one very strict CV model
