Because they said it did. I don't like being lied to. If I don't know what type of TV it is I can't assess all those factors you mentioned in the first place.

If they say it's a quantum dot TV, I'm going to look up how long quantum dot TVs last. If I've been lied to I'll make a decision based on incorrect information.

If their claims don't matter, why do they make them?

Unlikely? Isn't this a pretty normal thing?

People. We're people, and as such we get to make moral judgements. And it's obviously and pretty straightforwardly not okay to force women to cover themselves head to toe.

This particular example is not even difficult to deduct from some pretty basic axioms of morality, mainly that disadvantaging someone on the basis of their sex is wrong and that people should have personal freedom so long as it doesn't infringe on the rights of others.

It seems like they could just give you a notification reminder once a month that apps have that permission, without forcing you to grant it over and over

How can you possibly believe that? The first weekend I had my model 3 I drove it across two states, since that's where I bought it. It's got every bit of utility my previous ICE car had.

I truly believe that once Linux solves its app packaging problem it could go mainstream for casual use on home laptops. (Office machines obviously are a different beast, needing Microsoft Office\365 support, etc).

We're 99% of the way to being able to hand an everyday person a laptop with Linux on it and have them have a decent experience - but they need to be able to go to a website and download a program without screwing around with package managers and wondering if someone's even made a package for their distro. Flatpak and Snap are great, but then you still have to worry about which of those, if any, your computer supports. That's fine for anyone on Hacker News, but it's not fine for my parents or most people who don't take a special interest in tech.

If they do that, 2078 really could be the year of the Linux Desktop. But in the meantime we'll all have been using Steam Decks anyway.

Tho if it does become mainstream I do admit I'll miss feeling special and smart.

Article would have been good with a picture on someone's face. Seems important given the title. I'm the kind of nerd who would wear high tech shit that makes me look like a dork if it was cool enough or the utility was big enough, but even I have my limits - and being able to see expressions and make eye contact is a pretty big deal with humans.

Thankyou, as someone who's done hobbyist programming and wants to switch into it as a career, I was looking for something like this. My work computer is blocking it since it's an unknown site, but I'll have a look at it some time when I'm at home.

I work with this type of scientists, supporting them in an IT capacity. Many of them do try to learn Python, I've been quite impressed by it, but realistically Excel isn't going away any time soon regardless. Sometimes it's the right tool for the job.

God I hate this argument. This is such an unhelpful, useless thing to say. It doesn't provide any useful or practical suggestions, it's just a way of shutting down conversation.

Let me guess, they won't be reducing exposure to "body positivity" videos that encourage teenagers to be as fat as they want?

Crazy we got this not long after Ulterior Motives was found

What next? We uncover the Zodiac Killer?

There is. Threads. Also Mastodon.

I don't think I've ever disagreed with a post so strongly.

The article is rather vague, could it be just doing it while any apps owned by Meta are open? Instagram, Whatsapp, Facebook, etc?

I was going to say - I didn't think it was plausible that anyone had the capability to manufacture competitive chips, without the world knowing their foundry exists.

Would have been funny if it was real, but was actually a 486, or something. Probably not possible due to motherboard compatibility\pin configurations or something, but still.

On desktop you can use YouTube Clickbait Remover for that

You don't ever need to slam on your brakes or speed up for yellow lights, that's the entire point of the yellow light existing instead of just going straight to red.

How do you think they should do it? What's the alternative?

"Something very bad" meaning a legal problem. A bad accident killing a handful of people wouldn't make them change it.

I'm willing to trade off a very slightly increased chance of my fully insured car being stolen to be able to remotely activate my air conditioning.

"How is Boeing so consistently terrible nowadays?"

They are a publicly traded corporation. The enshittification is inevitable.

They already killed a few hundred people.

Google authenticator is absolutely horrible. Until recently there was just no way to back it up, at all. If you were getting rid of your phone, well, tough shit.

Does the DMCA apply in New Zealand?

I don't know, but I've noticed another pattern: They don't like leaving any empty space. Every area has to be busy, filled with objects. They can never leave any empty grass, or walls, or anything. Everything is full of objects.

Will this include Apple's own screen recording and sharing tools? If I share thru Facetime, or my Mac screen to an Apple Vision Pro, will that prompt every month too?

Literally the whole point of comparing things are that they are different. If you could only compare things that were exactly identically equal, the concept of comparing wouldn't make sense.

There is no reason for a smartwatch to be round, ever. It badly hurts functionality. Why would I care more about holding on to a hundreds of years old skeuomorphism than your device actually functioning well?

Round smartwatches make no sense and I don't know why anybody is making them. Scrolling content needs a constant-width display. If there was a square android watch I would get it.

Android Wear is pretty much abandoned, which is ridiculous considering they're still putting out new Pixel Watches. It's insane that this OS has been around for a decade and pretty much not improved at all. The software still feels the same as it did in 2014 - slow, laggy, and badly designed.

Don't get me started on the insanity of making round smartwatches. You wouldn't make a round phone.
