I flat out refuse to let an app go through my contacts, there is just no reason for it. Photos is always what I select and never full access. etc. So when one of the social media sites recommends someone I may know, have no other contacts w

I can no doubt see the value in this, even being a big skeptic of AI the ability for a computer to just pull up details from throughout the day or interject is genuinely a powerful idea (if it works in practice is another question). However

I am honestly surprised the fine is not more. We need to see more of these come out as AI is shoved dangerously into places thanks to the ability to use it with little to no technical knowledge. Especially when you are really just shoving d

Neither of those things are happening here. Microsoft is charging higher license costs for Windows server on competing cloud providers (but not all competing providers) than on Azure. For the exact same software. This isn’t an axe to grind

True, I was mostly trying to tie it into what the OP had said then really a valid example. Maybe should have added "and s3 was software that was generally available outside of the cloud" or something like that. Mostly trying to po

Not the same in the slightest, this would be like AWS allowing you to run S3 on Azure but charging you 4 times the same licensing cost in Azure as you would pay in AWS. A cloud having exclusive software and features is expected.

Am I misremembering or did Oracle do this exact same thing to try to get people to use their cloud? Struggling to find anything on it now, but were they sued?

I am struggling a bit to find information about BIMI that isn't some marketing crap. But from what I can tell most major email providers (except Microsoft for some reason) are on board. But are other providers adding this checkmark? I

I was confused by that wording as well and had go to back and forth a couple times and still confused. I would think that them needing to press the button themselves would be enough to distinguish between euthanasia and suicide?

No, you very much can criticize something that is diverse because there are aspects outside of that. Like Concord. You could even criticize how it’s diverse. If it’s done in an insensitive manner for example. Maybe they changed a character

So educate me. What exactly is the critics definition of “woke” that somehow is anything other than diverse?

I guarantee you that was not the actual problem with this game. The more inclusive part of this game was barely talked about because most don’t care and have realized they the world is bigger than their narrow view. Most games today are div

Don't get me wrong, a better battery would be great. But the only time I ever run into issues with my apple watch dying is when I am traveling and my routine is messed up anyways. Otherwise I am just in the habit of waking up, sticking

If it was purely a business one, they would not have put it on the Apple Watch 9 which is no longer available. Putting it on the 9 doesn't do anything for sales. There must have been some hardware difference.

I do see a possible downside of being able to re-use parts from a broken iPhone. So parts that were never able to be unlinked while the phone worked. Unless since it sounds like this is a remote database (and not something stored on the par

I think there is a middleground that to me it seems like this over simplifies both sides of this. For many of the "complex" things like lambdas there are frameworks like Serverless that makes managing and deploying it as easy (if

Tastes better but also has a better texture. For me it got to the point that I would rather have deli meat less than get more of some cheaper brand.

As more has come out about this, it is quite disappointing. I used to swear by Boars Head and would choose the store I am going too based on if they carried it. A mistake happening and causing a serious problem is still obviously bad, but i

I get the concern over what using the word hallucination implies, I also think it is a fairly fitting word. We need something easy to explain when these systems are straight up wrong. Something that a normal non technical user will understa

They are in a strange position, but I don't think they are going the way of Sega right now. The market is very different now than it was at that time. We are applying the status quo as the only possible way to run game consoles when th

I see it as expensive mostly because we have not had any drop in price this generation. For example, take last generation. The Xbox One launched at (all USD) $500, $400 without Kinect once that was an option. PS4 launched at $400. The PS4 P

This has been such a weird generation of consoles from a price standpoint but I know a lot of that is just due to pricing of things being weird anyways. This is expensive, I am struggling to really justify it at the moment (and I have a 409

That kinda sounds like a thing where a big improvement to the Focus feature to lock you to a specific app (or disable apps instead of just removing them from your Home Screen) would address this problem?
