Can I just call lossy compression AI and use this as a defense?

Is GN going to put Google on a Performance Improvement Plan like they did with Asus?

Yahoo is still around in some form or another.

Alphabet has enough money to persist well after they lose relevance.

Anyone else have this happen after grabbing a coffee?

I grab a cup coffee from a shop and it's ruined because the barista is wearing cologne or perfume that inevitably has gotten on the cup and it's all I can smell when I take a sip. I guess 2 things, this means 1 they haven't thoroughly washed their hands, and 2 I can't drink the coffee because it smells so bad and I have to...

I've had that happen with what i assume was a hand lotion because there was a particular part of the lid that smelled.

I don't know why other people are treating you with so much disbelief. This absolutely can happen with people not thinking about how their habits impact what customers are consuming. With how many millions of coffee beverages that are served every day, it shouldn't surprise anyone that some small portion are handled improperly with poor hygiene. It also shouldn't be overly surprising if you've had it happen multiple times because you likely visit the shops near you. Such an event isn't random and is the result of someone's bad habits.

No, never. Current charging rates already get close to thermal constraints. Hitting those charging rates either requires accepting much lower power density or using way more metal per cell. This research might inform design changes to improve charging rates, but we'll never see high capacity batteries charging in a minute.

The researchers know this and only mention wearables and iot devices applications. The article author erroneously makes the leap to high energy density devices.

If you don't care about energy density at all, ceramic capacitors can already charge and discharge in microseconds.

With an ad blocking dns.

https://adguard-dns.io/en/public-dns.html

Go down to the configure manually option and follow the instructions for iPhone.

I think next guard is also supposed to be decent, but they won't let you use it without an account.

The nice thing about the dns approach is it works for more than just your web browser. There's a bunch of Android games that are essentially unplayable without an adblocking dns.

As a disclaimer, a bunch of sites are ramping up requiring enabling ads or they won't let you load the content. I'm ok with just hitting back and not viewing those sites, but my MIL just asked for help removing the ad guard dns because her news sites wouldn't let her in.

You can only find a screwdriver by first releasing your intent to use it.

Because the way you probably raise your foot toward you when putting on your socks ends up with that spot pointing toward your eyes.

As to how that helps before you've actually got the sock on, you'll have to ask the designer.

Did you miss the Sci fi shows that taught us that we have to let the tech tycoons enjoy new technology exclusively for a good decade or so before it can be sold to the masses? So your smart contacts are probably in Tim Cook or Satya Nadella's secret lab in a mountain valley.

They can quit anytime they want. In fact, they've quit 4 times this year already.

I thought I had gotten rid of cheques, but I had to get a book specifically to get my passport.

Fermion ,

Remapping gpio pins doesn't require changing wiring, but it might require tracking a unique firmware revision.

Then you find out that while the new place doesn't have the problems the old place had, it has a whole new set of problems.

Sometimes the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.
