It used to be better. I've been running Android custom ROMs since Gingerbread days, on HTC HD2. At that time, I'd be flashing nightlies, switching between CyanogenMod and Paranoid Android, kernels, getting bootloops. Setting up th

On Android of course it depends on the configuration. I am running LineageOS 23 on an older device with 6GB of RAM as well and it would kill basically anything (making e.g. paying with a credit card a pain when you have to switch to the ban

The incentive for the drivers would be to press the button every 30min, regardless of actual overtaking need. And when overtaking has to be done, the button would probably be in cooldown, solving nothing.

Nothing underrated about acting with Godwin's law.

I'm tired of 2FA. Absolutely the worst when setting up a new phone after losing the old one. A whole bunch of mixed methods, in 2 hours between installing all the apps again, getting text messages, installing authenticators, scanning I

That sounds more like an attempt to fight with unemployment - any job, even if unnecessary, is better than no job for both finances and mental well-being.

Funny how they just handwave it like it's a totally normal thing, like the insane situation with banking apps. Most people don't care as they run with whatever's available without modification, but we still should fight for t

If not for my job, I would never have a need to type a single line in a Linux terminal. I don't know what does that have to do with modern world.

I think he might have gotten too distracted. Yeah, in an academic setting, in higher education, it might make sense like he mentioned. Still a personal preference. for me a laptop will never beat taking notes by hand on paper.

It's interesting to see, a happy, albeit a naive hope for the future. Things we wished for maybe, but in some cases what we have now is the monkey paw version; automatic synchronization of everything with personal data is in reality a

There's nothing tricky about this - the only winning move is not to play.

The agent will have to fund its own tokens somehow...

That's alright though. Recent devices still have manufacturer's support. LOS is a godsend for the older devices, often not as powerful as the new ones, that really need the lightweight, bloat free Android for smooth operation.

Exchanging messages with your contacts isn't really that hard that you really need to prepare for it.

Funny to see this article not too long after finishing The Right Stuff - a stellar book about Project Mercury. It's an interesting tidbit and I learned something new. While it seems that the concept worked, more or less, on one occasio

That sounds like hell for new businesses. No wonder Europe is stagnating in innovation.

Warfare yes, but that's all warfare that's terrifying. Similarly you can make a point that for $10 you can buy a knife that can be used in all different morbid crimes. FPV drones as a fun hobby in the rest of the world has had, in

I have no idea how you came to the conclusion that liberalization (giving ever so slightly more freedom) would increase foreign UK influence post handover.

Two choices - one of prompt, one of the result, versus hundreds or thousands from the subject and composition, through the medium, to every single brushstroke, where one may have a significant meaning. To be improved upon when your skill im

I've never had a car suddenly and autonomously speed up and drive itself into a brick wall.

Yeah but what was wrong with the previous implementation that it had to be redone?

That's not only adding to cost but also doesn't solve the issue of why you would buy a new phone - warranty.

It's a worldwide issue. Even the OP link was to an UK-based subreddit.

Of course cassettes were all around me when I was younger; even my first car had a cassette deck. They seemed like an old relic in that time already - with the drawbacks mentioned in the article, so it was easy to put them away seemingly fo

That's extremely subjective, but I'd rather save that $14 a month towards retirement. And if YouTube was only available with ads... well, that's no videos for me, maybe for the better, I would waste less time.

That sounds amazing, what you can get away with while still shipping a product and getting paid. In some way probably the engineers there are unwilling to do any automation in fear of becoming redundant, and the company is still fine with t

Seems like an apt comparison; it was a massive money sink and a regular person gained absolutely nothing from the moon landing, it's just the big organization (NASA, US government) that got the bragging rights.

The style is the easiest thing to catch for people; GP has said that the technical issues can be more difficult to find, especially in longer texts; there are times where it indeed are caught. Passing even correct information through an LLM

I would be okay with being "stuck" with a replacement battery and a 3.5mm jack. That's a compromise I'd be wiling to take; but at the end of the day it's all about profit.
