What?!? I've been wanting a fairphone forever and couldn't find a place to send it stateside. This is great.
Okay so after skimming the article I saw that they developed what they call a "family of shapes" that were optimized for minimal heat transfer--but they didn't provide any visuals? The images they showed in the article were of commonly available glasses instead. Couldn't they sketch one up based on their models?
Seriously disappointing.
Fair enough. Maybe my concern is more with newer cars in general.
I don't really care for this given the trend of newer car design.
I want to support the environment and all, but an EV car is going to be even worse than an ICE car with having everything controlled by touchscreens and collecting data that the car companies sell off to the highest bidder. It's harder (if not impossible to customize or repair since the whole thing is based on proprietary software, and the average mechanic isn't a software engineer.
Why can I just have an EV with a damn button for volume and AC controls?
Whenever I see this quote (or others like it) I hear it read in Bill's voice from Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure.
Bill : Socrates [SOH -crates]- ' the only true wisdom is knowing that you know nothing.
Ted: Dude, that's us!
I have a withings and I really like it. Their privacy policy made me feel better about allowing my info on the cloud. You can run it offline (it sends weight via Bluetooth to the app but won't show 7-day trend an scale screen without wifi). I don't mind that, so I leave it disconnected. I don't use a home assistant though so I can't speak to that part.
I have the withings watch also, so I use the app as my catch all health tracker which works well. it's nice to have everything together. Can't speak to any others but I'd recommend withings.
OH MY GOD PLEASE STOP CONSOLIDATING GAMING STUDIOS. I don't want all my games to come from Sony and Microsoft.
Not a lawyer, but it seems like changing the ball throwing mechanic is an admission that they are taking ideas from Nintendo. Maybe they are trying to minimize the damage but still seems like they are weakening their position.
When I worked in the federal govt I was horrified by how much contractors charged for everything. And the govies didn't even bat an eye at paying for it; it was like they just expected things to cost 50-100x market cost and didnt argue with any of them.
How realistic is it that any of them will actually get rejected based on a background check? I mean, the public information on these people is bad enough and they still got nominated. Is the GOP rank and file really going to battle their great leader on these nominations?
The article says one of the main claims in the suit is that OpenAi is violating RICO (racketeering) laws. I don't get how they came up with that but I'm happy someone is turning the screws on them, even if it is Elon.
I love these games. I replay them both every few years and they are still fun. I'm still pissed about what happened to Arcane Studios and what could have been had the big corpos not done their usual bs.
