I'm about the same in, and I can now read (or get the gist of) most French signs and posters, and generally understand simple written and basic clearly spoken French. It's what you make of it. That said, I've clearly hit a wa

Your LG C2 is a dumb tv - if you dont connect it to the internet. You can even buy a $10 IR remote control on amazon and use that to switch inputs. Or, in my experience, all of my external devices support HDMI CEC and auto switch when i use

I suppose "so few" is relative. While they still exist, it's nothing like 10 years ago.

It's a mild inclusion of a luxury car brand. I don't think it really hurt nintendo.

Sure, but there's so much open, empty, and underutilized space. With some more aggressive building and well implemented transit policy, we could really fit a lot more people into the area without creating a decrease in quality of life.

Some early mobile networks, especially those that had out of band signalling like some of the early euro specific ones, supported short messaging as a first class feature. However, aside from attaching a modem to your cell phone, it was not

I don't think the new siri is intrinsicly tied to the device. I think that as part of remaking siri, they're using the new platform as a rallying cry and story as to why it's important. (it's hard to justify features suc

Homepods have U1 chips. They can position airtags within your house. You can put an airtag under, or adjacent to, a lamp and link it to a smart switch. Your apple watch has gesture detection (still in beta, tbf), as well as U1 and real time

Honestly, I think it's because they believe anyone with a macbook should have an iphone - their easy and transparent tethering works embarrassingly well.

Maybe, but they were looking for a phone that'll last a long time, and I hope my answer makes them reconsider. The Android OS-updates situation is seriously dire, and it seems very difficult for Google to fix.

I hate to say it, but get an iPhone SE. 5 years of updates /from when the device was last sold in stores/. If you sideload any Android apps, you'll have to wait in a cold until the latest pixels are patched, and then get one

"Figure out TLS." Is this sarcasm? A joke?

by parker_mountain 4y ago
Android pretty effectively enforces TLS as well. Also, aside from the surface level issues of a vuln like this, an attacker now has a serious foothold on the device, which is still very bad.

I don't think it's so simple. A few counter-notes - Google translate and its ilk have already significantly cut down the number of translators required for multinational companies. Google translate in 2006 is also a bad example, i
