I also had the Nexus 6P, great phone, loved it. Had some phones after that, but a few years ago I “upgraded” to a Pixel 6 Pro. That phone was a lot shittier in many ways, like no headphone jack or SD slot. But also Googles own software felt kind of buggy. My Nexus had very little problems with USBC but my Pixel somehow was a magnet to dust. I needed to do a tooth pick cleanup every other month.

The article states that’s what the privacy policy sais samsung can sample every 500ms and LG every 10ms. It doesn’t really mean they are, but it’s definitely possible. A very basic way of detecting content is to take a 1000 pixels evenly spaced out over the screen and store the color values. That gives you something you can match against a database. You don’t need to process a 4K screenshot for this.

99% of what we watch is from streaming (Netflix, YouTube, etc). A dumb tv with a Chromecast probably isn’t any better.

Family chatgroup, signal Work chatgroup, signal Half of my friends, signal

Won’t be very long until I remove whatsapp from my phone. That one friend that doesn’t want to switch, call me I guess…

Thats true, I once had to repair my washing machine and I could only find 1 video about the same model and same repair. It was a large Russian man that I could not understand (this was before auto generated subtitles).

Anyways, I just looked at the video and copied everything he did and I fixed my machine.

I pay for nebula, they have a lot of educational content and the price is low enough that I don’t mind it

Yeah true, but these are more business to business. RHEL support is pretty expensive, and in my experience Oracle support (maybe not really open source) is both terrible and ridiculously expensive. Maybe this will create a market for more consumer like support. Maybe that could even create new business models for open source software.

Or and I know this sounds crazy, we (I actually mean you) collectively agree on laws that gives everyone a couple of paid vacation weeks a year.

So here’s a way to long story that is barley relevant but I’m sharing it anyway.

Our office has a bring your own device policy. Great, I have a phone, I can buy the laptop I want, cool.

Now on my laptop I run Linux, have been using it as my only OS for about 15 years now. On windows you can read your email with outlook, you just have to login once and use that authenticator once. On Linux they blocked Thunderbird, because somehow in their logic window is more secure!? Now until today I would just use my phone to get emails and I also had teams on it for basic questions (like when I’m not working but a simple answer can help a coworker out).

Literally today they blocked both email and teams on android (not iPhone) and you can only use it when you install some MS company portal app, where my office gets remote access to my personal phone.

I did not install this (they can’t make you) but now the only way to read email is logging in via web outlook that sucks in Firefox.

So I just set a auto response to all incoming emails, that from now on if you need me you can reach me on teams during work hours or call me.

Not really sure how they (management) are going to respond. I hate email, especially when you have so many obstacles to even receive it.

Thank god in the Netherlands we are not and we did not elect a far right party as the biggest party, oh wait…

I hostely fear for the next 5 years, with far right (and anti science, anti woke, anti freedom, anti any progressive idea people had after 1950s) gaining more traction.

I first thought you wrote boolean float, not sure if that’s even worse.

I can only watch it with revanced and sponsorblock, otherwise I’d just watch some of my old downloaded stuff.

Also don’t promise stuff you just can’t deliver on. Like how a Tesla would be full self driving in 2014 but next year, or that amazing truck that would be the end game for every company moving stuff, or the new roadster from 2017

Yes and even if he would be smart, I know really smart people that would probably suck at running the economy. Having 0 experience doing something makes you a n00b by default.

The weirdest thing is that people expected a buch of real-estate guys to somehow be good at international diplomacy.

I don’t expect my butcher to also be good at cutting my hair!

I’m getting pretty old so I have experienced multiple waterfall projects. The comic should be

You want to go to mars You spend 3 months designing a rocket You spend 6 months building a rocket You spend a month testing the rocket and notice there is a critical desing flaw.

You start over again with a new design and work on it for 2 months You spend another 6 months building it You spend 2 months testing

Rocket works fine now, but multiple other companies already have been to Mars, so no need to even go anymore.

Hungary is definitely not going to be part of NATO2

To add to this, Putin can recruit from the poorest regions for a while, but at some point he needs to get men from the larger cities. The last thing he wants is protests from Moskou etc. The average person from Moskou hadn’t had that much negative effects from the war yet. But if you, your son or father is forced to the battlefield it’s a different story.

Pretty easy to find on YouTube, but to me (non native speaker) the audio is not good enough to really hear it. https://youtu.be/OjMFTagD7k0

Let me give you some real advice, buy a Casio G-SHOCK, pick a version with tiny solar panels. Seriously, they will last a very long time, no need to change a battery or synch it. Strapped my watch on like a decade ago, still works without any maintenance or anything.
