Maybe it didn't go up as fast because of it

erwan ,

Also you can only use it on roads built by Apple!

erwan ,

Still, self driving and generative AI are very different. Just because they fall into the same big "AI" bucket doesn't mean it's the same.

erwan ,

Airplane mode is no longer about shutting down all wireless communication. It's been for some time.

Now it's shutting down the cellular connection only, wifi and bluetooth stay on.

erwan ,

Yeah that sucks, Signal is my preferred app and I wish I could get rid of WhatsApp without having to convert everyone.

erwan ,

Enterprise can afford more than individuals and all businesses always find a way to make enterprise customers pay more.

For example when you buy a plane ticket, it's much cheaper if you have a weekend between your onward and outward trip. Because business travelers will travel during the week.

erwan ,

Yes, as Linus Torvalds said humans are also thinking like autocomplete systems.

erwan ,

I would think his reference to god would be a sufficient argument to nullify his decision? As you said the US justice system is secular.

erwan ,

Last time I checked BYD prices, they were not cheaper than other EVs.

What am I missing?

Anything is possible, including Switch 2.

Affordable Android Excellence: Best Smartphones Under $200 in 2024 (www.gizchina.com)

While flagship smartphones boast impressive features, spending $1,000 is not a prerequisite for a satisfying Android experience nowadays. If you’re in need of a new smartphone and have a budget of approximately $200, there are numerous excellent options available. Surprisingly, some of the best Android phones under $200 come...

erwan ,

When you say "it's no longer secure", can you point to an actual vulnerability on older hardware and what the exploits are?

We keep hearing how unpatched phones are not secure but I'd like to hear more about what the actual risk is.

Millions of people use older phones that haven't been updated for years, yet it seems to me that scams are more about social engineering than exploiting software vulnerabilities on phones.

erwan ,

Xiaomi phones are a pain to unlock the bootloader. You have to use their shitty Windows app, wait one week after the first step...

erwan ,

The best is not to buy a Xiaomi phone to start with

OpenAI collapses media reality with Sora AI video generator | If trusting video from anonymous sources on social media was a bad idea before, it's an even worse idea now (arstechnica.com)

Fake photos existed before Photoshop, with scissors and glue

erwan ,

"Mark Zuckerberg has a theory" oh great, he's trying very hard to figure out why the CEO of Meta decided to do layoffs? That's great.

erwan ,

Yes, we've seen so called "experts" telling your personality from your handwriting, or stupid personality tests... HR sure can find convoluted ways to reject random applications.

erwan ,

This is not about Google, which have a market cap that corresponds to their revenue.

This is about Nvidia that has a crazy inflated market cap.

erwan ,

Move to EU and pay taxes there. Or buy European products, they pay taxes and some of it go to the EU.

erwan ,

But all my friends are in the shit restaurant!

erwan ,

Maybe it's you who changed, and graduated from sociopath troll to sociable human being?

erwan ,

They lost less than the year before

erwan ,

I don't know, I could see the value if it really looked like the mask was semi transparent.

So it's a cool idea, the only problem is that they didn't deliver and the result is creepy instead.

erwan ,

Who the fuck wears a VR headset walking in the street, let alone crossing a road?

Google’s CEO faces employee questions about layoffs — “Why has there been such an extraordinary effort to limit the internal visibility of layoffs announcements?” (www.theverge.com)

Google’s CEO faces employee questions about layoffs — “Why has there been such an extraordinary effort to limit the internal visibility of layoffs announcements?”::During a recent TGIF all-hands meeting, Google CEO Sundar Pichai addressed what sources describe as a growing morale crisis inside the company.

erwan ,

That's not how relations between employers and employees work.

It's like saying you don't need a democracy if the king cares enough about his subjects.

It might work for a time, but the power balance is such that you can't rely on the goodwill of leaders alone.

    Prostitution exists at all price points.

    Apple’s Vision Pro battery pack is hiding the final boss of Lightning cables (www.theverge.com)

    Apple’s Vision Pro battery pack is hiding the final boss of Lightning cables::The Vision Pro’s battery connector is removable once you press the eject button, and it uses a 12-pin connector that looks like a wider version of a Lightning cable.

    erwan ,

    I believe that's why they make it impossible to remove without a sim card tool, so they can argue that it's an internal connection that the user is not supposed to remove.

    erwan ,

    He only has to pay 20% of his left over after expenses like rent.

    And if the GoFundMe reaches the amount he owes, he'll be a free man.

    erwan ,

    Kinda, Plex still changes my homepage with their ads once in a while

    erwan ,

    So they have to move to an office, any office?

    Meaning they can no longer be remote but don't have to be in the same office as the people they manage?

    That makes a lot of sense.

    erwan ,

    Even if you're giving to a stranger, you're more likely to give to someone similar to you.

    So rich people will have more empathy for other rich people because they have more in common.

    erwan ,

    When needed, they can change it faster than Japan did.

    erwan ,

    It's 1000x easier to redesign the factory around robots than building and operating humanoid robots.

    erwan ,

    That's already the case. Just look at a car factory assembly line, they're full of robots already but none of them look like humans.

    erwan ,

    To be fair, Opera in the 2000's was craming every single feature they could think about in their browser.

    So sure, they got some interesting features before the others but they also had hundreds of useless features cluttering the UI.

    erwan ,

    My fusion drive iMac was rendered unusable by an OS update that was optimized for SSD and put any hard drive Mac to a crawl.

    I had to change to a SSD, which was very fun because I had to unglue the screen and glue it back when I was done.

    Gen Z falls for online scams more than their boomer grandparents do. The generation that grew up with the internet isn’t invulnerable to becoming the victim of online hackers and scammers. (www.vox.com)

    To be fair, cars are becoming less and less serviceable.

    I had a light bulb that died on my car, and tried to change it myself. How hard could that be?

    Turns out the light bulb is so buried under the engine I ended up giving up and bringing it to the shop. And often even independent shops can no longer service cars, you have to bring it to your maker's dealership because only they have the proprietary tooling to fix it.

    Everything bad about LoL is it being a MOBA. I think you can't prevent toxicity in a MOBA.

    In a team with randoms, if you start losing you're stuck in an unfun game where you get crushed by the ennemi for half an hour.

    What's not to love?

    erwan ,

    If you believe the game to be malware you should not play it. Even if it doesn't have a kernel-level anticheat.

    A binary on Windows can do pretty much whatever it wants.

    erwan ,

    It doesn't matter if the kid is smart and determined, parental controls can't be circumvented.

    Unless the parent is stupid enough to leave their phones unlocked or lax enough to unblock the phone every time the kid asks for it.

    erwan ,

    We're not talking about the dumb parental controls from the 90's or 2000's and run on Windows, we're talking about smartphone OSes (iOS and Android) that are locked down to start with.

    erwan ,

    Singapour is also a country reduced to a city, so that certainly makes transportation easier. The US is on the opposite of the spectrum.

    erwan ,

    You can get an ID card from the DMV even if you don't drive.

    erwan ,

    What can a cop do about your driving license if you're not driving when he talks to you?

    erwan ,

    Singapore is just as big as NYC, and almost as dense. Cross border commuters from Malaysia do exist but are not the norm because it's a big pain.

    Also what's true is Singapore might be true in NYC but NYC is not the norm in US, it's the exception.

    erwan ,

    The same could be said of iPhone apps on iPad but Apple still forces you to make specific dev for the iPad.

    erwan ,

    We don't have per message charge in France either but people still use WhatsApp or Signal because you can't have groups in SMS.

    The soda can crushing to "crush the competition" is so cringe... I don't know maybe that talks to sales people.

    erwan ,

    Really? What's left of the Internet beyond the web?

    How many people use Usenet today, rather than forums or social media on the web?

    How many people use IRC, rather than Slack? (Either on the web or in a Chromium-backed desktop app)

    How many people use an email client, rather than webmail?
