It keeps getting better, too! The new update makes the S5 basically the same as the newer model (except that it's louder)... I had the original RoboRock and it worked really well. We replaced the battery and gave it to my wife's

I leave it in the guest room, so it rarely gets much use, but for a short while I was using an Android TV and it was the best of both worlds. You'd have the Chromecast support in every app, but you could still use the Android TV remot

I really don't send many emails through Gmail, but when I do it is INSANELY accurate in its suggested sentence completion. Sometimes simple stuff like an address or whatever, but it can get really creepy when I'm sending something

My issue isn't so much with the ads being prioritized; it's with when the ad link goes. For example, I often search for something vague because I can't remember the name or the site. When I use Google, the first or second ad

I worry about the implications of the blank space idea. For example, if I owned coolstuff.com, when should I expect for my standard search result to be shown below the "blank space". Today, if someone searched "cool stuff&quo

I just think you're assuming these search engines are using way fewer factors than they actually use. It's probably exceptionally easy to tie your search behavior to someone else who's much more like you than "the averag

A lot of this does, in fact, get solved through machine learning. If one search query is conducted a hundred times by different people with otherwise similar profiles, the machine learning can constantly modify the results until the hundred

Feels like a perfect opportunity for you to try out search engine keywords. On Chrome, it's under Search Engine > Manage Search Engines. This allows you to type (keyword) -tab- (query). For example, my work computer (on which I can

DDG also uses Bing. I've never used Ecosia before, but it's interesting to me that the experience would be so dramatically different when they're both using the same source. Must be some interesting factors involved in DDG&#x

First off, if it's overwhelming or if it goes overboard, people just won't use it, so your example of advertisements on every surface and excessive tracking of what users are looking at and doing at all times will likely either no

Yeah, but I think his issue is with the anti-cheat software. If the anti-cheat is sandboxed, it can't see any other memory or processes that are running. It's a fair privacy concern.

I wonder how much success there's been in hiding the version information from visibility by any software... Obviously the cheat developer could just hash the game files directly and halt if there's a discrepancy between the known-

Yep, but now we refer to chips by their cost, instead. AMD Threadripper 3990X : $3990

I've been in law enforcement for about 5 years now, the first 3 of which were spent entirely on felony-level criminal investigations. They teach a great deal at the federal courses on how to conduct interviews of Suspects, Victims, an

Out of curiousity, are the emissions numbers you're quoting for solar, geothermal, hydro, etc accounting for the carbon costs associated with their construction? Additionally, don't those all require at least large-capacity batter

> Safari is still the best mobile browser available... This is nonsense. Safari is the only mobile browser available on iOS, so if you're sorting by mobile available per platform, then of course it's the "best [of one]&quo

I understand your point, and I agree that it's easier to keep your television viewing habits hidden from your internet viewing habits, for obvious reasons, but I'm just pointing out that there are still ways to aggregate data to t

In most cases, this isn't true. The dossiers and maintained very closely by Facebook, Google, etc in order to leverage their knowledge on a target to produce the most effective targeted ads. If they sold the dossiers, they would lose t

> This, like TV, doesn't require tracking of individual people who haven't consented to such. That's a stretch. How do you think they determine any information about the "known" audience? Obviously, they do all s
