I regular question experts. I literally walk up to them and ask how they get that go and every single time the "trick" has been an approximation of "I do this a lot" and by a lot they mean more than everybody else. If yo

Next time buy open hardware for less, e.g PineTab (or PineNote but that is more expensive iirc), donate the difference to an open-source project of your choice and don't support closed ecosystems in the first place?

Coincidence but I just started to listen to 404 media podcast on tracking rare books being scanned in AI facilities thanks to just a cheap AirTag. I find this a good illustration of how easy it is to find something if you know how to look f

Somebody who doesn't know what they are doing, sure. Somebody who does, and maybe even enjoy doing it, and the challenge of it, will surely know about it simply because they are maybe two dozens of types of smartphones out there. Andro

It is totally different to be able to do something versus actually doing it. It is not because you can install and run apps that you have to.

that's the interesting part : forges are being abused. Sure AI workflows might be a non-negligible share of all that usage but still the point is that initially forges existed to help developers collectively share a state then solve pr

I did buy flagships few times and to be honest I did not regret them. I kept them longer and I was able to do more... but that was few years ago when phones were getting more powerful for a reason. Cameras were getting more megapixels to ge

Who cares, Musk will soon solve also those pesky problems by putting data centers in space, it is easy. Also next year FSD but for real this time. /s

Realistically speaking with another phone in front and imagining how close one has to be for it to work reliably (as it is not a 64x64 pixels image) I think it would be really hard not to notice. The same way you whisper to say something se

Indeed encryption should not be hard yet which situation do you have in mind where simply pulling away the emitting phone would not be enough? AFAIK the normal scenario is two persons in the same physical space so I am not sure what encrypt

My point isn't so much about the work ethics of one or another but rather than systems, even interconnected ones, are rarely as genuinely interdependent as science fiction drama lead us to believe. Yes there can be terrible catastrophe

I remember (sorry can't give a proper quote) a biologist interviews about the fear of lab grown "super" seeds escaping the lab. They chuckled basically saying that nature is a very VERY challenging place. There are plenty of

If you copy/paste code from a teaching book, you will probably not learn as well as if you type it. Typing itself is irrelevant, it is the timing spent, even if only seconds, pondering at what each word or syntactic element is and why

With pleasure, ^i in a textarea or even input element brings your text in GVim then saving brings you back. Really handy feature to bring regexes or text navigation to any Webpage.

Im typing this in GVim thanks to Tridactyl using my new mechanical keyboard running a ZMK firmware I just built via Github actions (or directly via ZMK Studio). This is ridiculously complex to just type a few paragraphs. Nobody in their r

To clarify a bit due to the downvotes : this is not a research paper from a startup or a public frontier lab, it is just PR from a corporation, thus yes an advertisement. Downvote all you like it's still of no value.

I don't think that's the economical definition of monopoly. It's not about 1 single actor owning the market but rather about unilateral change. Obviously a single actor owning 99.99% will be able to shape the market ... but a

You can already adb connect in dev mode then install .apks, e.g. termux, Fennec and change some settings. It does seem rootable but I didn't try.
