No, you can't film people in public restrooms, but that is an exception. There are limits to freedom of speech. You also can't yell "fire" in a crowded theater if there is no fire. But yes, recording in public is general

You can hate it all you want, but it's the first amendment that makes it legal to record in public. I'm honestly glad we have the right to record in public, else the government would be able to hide some nefarious shit that the pu

It's part of the same first amendment that gives you the right to free speech. Go look it up. There is no such thing as privacy in public, and if you feel like you have a right to privacy in public, then you need to read up on the firs

To me this looks like a solution in search of a problem. And I can't imagine it's fun to hold out a tablet at the end of your arm for very long.

Great, so they just have to spend another ~$10 billion on new hardware to save how many billion in training costs? I don't see a path to profitability here, unless they massively raise their prices to consumers, and nobody really needs

I use a few utilities to tame Windows 11 and make it work more like Windows 7, 8, and 10. It should get rid of that "Remind me again" thing, I haven't seen it in a long, long time. No ads, no crap from Microsoft. https:&#x2F

"AI" autocomplete has become a damn nuisance. It always wants to second-guess what I've already done, often making it worse. I try to hit escape to make it go away, but it just instantly suggests yet another thing I don'
