This might be easier than refusing permission every time - it sounds like I can just not click it. I really dislike location permission things. I don't know what location will be shared, I don't use anything that needs a precise

This is very narrow AI, in a subdomain where results can be automatically verified (even within mathematics that isn't currently the case for most areas).

Try finding a new 1080p screen small enough to count as high DPI; there aren't many! Using 218ppi from elsewhere in the thread as the threshold, you'd need a 10 inch 1920×1080 screen to achieve it, so a 1080p computer screen is a

I think your volume per bill should be 6.14 * 0.0254 * 2.61 * 0.0254 * 0.00011 ≈ 1.137e-6 m³. That means about 227 m³ total volume, or about 2800 wheelbarrows.
