I agree with your principles but I'm not strong enough to stick to them. I just installed the addon YouTube Clickbait Remover, which uncapitalizes titles and replaces thumbnails with a frame from the video.

I was very sad when I got a Galaxy Note (R.I.P. Note line) and Elite Beat Agents was unplayable due to audio lag. It makes sense, but it is a shame.

Should be easy to implement, will have a pull request ready tomorrow.

Edit: wait, I can't use strcpy?! Screw that, then I'm not open sourcing my AGI!

I was more getting at that if they aren't interested in the US market they're unlikely interested in the other ones I mentioned either, rather than commenting on sidedness.

Yes, technically it's easier to bring this car to other RHD countries but I'm assuming Honda has plenty of manufacturing capacity to do that if they want to. It just seems like they don't want to.

"Just 100 cars will be made available with the technology in Japan, and they will cost the equivalent of $101,900. None of these Legends will make their way to the U.S."

I'm assuming if it won't come to the US it won't come to the UK, Canada or Australia either.

Is 100 units really a "production car"? I don't agree.

Also:

"It does all this with zero input from the driver, who Honda says can "watch television/DVD on the navigation screen or operate the navigation system to search for a destination address."

and yet:

"Please do not overestimate the capabilities of each Honda Sensing Elite function and drive safely while paying constant attention to your surroundings. Please remain in condition where you can respond to the handover request issued by the system, and immediately resume driving upon the handover request."

I'm an idiot, I read the headline and thought these were banned from Git entirely. As in, you couldn't commit them to any repo using Git, at all. Thought that seemed a bit harsh.

Turns out you just can't use them when you contribute code to the Git project. That makes sense, and seems reasonable.

They've unfortunately conflated "must have" and "spelled exactly", which aren't the same thing.

I'm on your side but like "bimonthly" this is a lost cause.

I'm never buying another MacBook with a Touch Bar. Ever. I've learned that lesson the hard way. I refuse to pay 3,500$ and have to put up with something actively hindering my work.

Getting rid of the Touch Bar might be realistic. If only it were realistic that they would add a USB-A and HDMI port back to it too...

I agree, but I think it's sad that we have to "escape" the Touch Bar. It drives me insane and I'm considering switching from a Pro to an Air just to get rid of it. But that doesn't say anything good about Apple.

How often are you little in this situation that you need a fake phone call...?

Oh wow. They should choose a different image. I looked at that and thought it was using an actual segmented LCD display, not an eInk display simulating the look of a segmented display.

I've spent the last year vegan (only eating meat again this week because I'm in quarantine and can't get vegan food) and I:

- Firmly believe that lab grown and plant-based imitation meats will be the thing that makes the world vegan, not somehow convincing everybody to stop eating meat and dairy

- Would invest in lab-grown meat for profit if I had money to invest - it just makes sense to me that it will eventually become cheaper to manufacture than traditional meat for obvious reasons, and when it does, the McDonald's marketing machine will be out in full force to convince everyone that lab-grown meat is the manly masculine option (completely different to being one of those 'pussy vegans', right!?) and will succeed massively

Beyond is a plant-based imitation meat, not a lab grown meat (which I think will make more of a splash due to their variety and authenticity), but I still think it has its place and wish them success.

Even if you don't are about the animal cruelty, animal agriculture is a huge contributor to climate change - far bigger than international flights - and not eating meat is usually the best thing an individual can do to lower their contribution.

Do you have a source for that? Gaming latency is noticeable in the ~100ms range, and humans are highly sensitive to small adjustments in speech.

I would've thought it would be closer to the 200ms range, but I don't have any data to support that.

I spent the last year and a half living about as far from my home city as possible (Melbourne > Edinburgh) (Currently in quarantine) and the latency of phone calls drives me nuts.

The huge gaps between people speaking, and the complete change in conversation flow since you have to speak in huge continuous paragraphs. The constant "go ahead" , "no you go" etc... Ugh.

But I agree with you... nobody seems to care except me.

A password can be stolen by looking over someone's shoulder, a fingerprint can MAYBE be stolen with advanced technology and high-resolution photos of the person's fingers

I've always wondered why they can't just build a fingerprint sensor into a capacitive touchscreen. After all, a fingerprint sensor IS just a really high density capacitive touch sensor right? Or is that not right?

Google gives me no answers and I assumed it was not fundamentally impossible, just that it was two separate companies with two separate production lines making touchscreens and fingerprint sensors so it was hard in practice due to the realities of supply chains.

Many existing fingerprint sensors, like TouchID, were glass, and I wonder why they can't just make it bigger and put an OLED under that glass (even if it was only dense enough for fingerprints at one spot).

Yet here we are, 4 years after the downgrade too FaceID, and still not a single phone in existence with a capacitive fingerprint sensor in the screen.

Am I wrong about the technology or what?

Spotify... Isn't meant to be used while driving. Nothing on your phone is. It's illegal. You're not supposed to be doing it at all, ever...

I do think that it's ridiculous that Spotify hasn't improved their app in the 5 years I've been using it and is still missing really basic playback features, but when the competition is Apple Music, they're still by far the best music service that exists.

But I don't see the complaint that it's not got to be used while driving. Phones aren't supposed to be used while driving altogether.

"I don't know if the problem is hardware, software, or both"

The gulf continues to be so big that after so much time of nobody else even appearing to try to compete, I assume it's patents.

I'm sure jedberg will be very interested to find out about this Reddit thing

The whole point of Firefox existing is too be an alternative to Blink.

This is like asking why Pepsi doesn't just copy Coke's recipe.

I wonder if this problem could've been solved easier with a USB extension cable and simply taping the receiver to the keyboard!

I even saw a power-plug > AA battery adapter on YouTube yesterday they could use if they really wanted to make it fully wired.

50/50 chance they pull a Quickster and undo the rebrand I reckon

Blu-Ray is unforgivable. It is a straight-up anti-consumer technology. The Stranger Things season 1 Blu-Ray contains an unskippable, 5 minute long trailer for season 2 which contains spoilers for season 1:

I reiterate that I believe it was a reasonable interpretation of what Apple said.

That wasn't an assumption or knee-jerk reaction. Apple went on record as saying other operating systems wouldn't boot on Apple Silicon. Admittedly there's enough vagueness that they didn't 100% rule it out completely, but I think it was a fair interpretation of what they said at the time.

Craig Federighi said this when talking to John Gruber:

"We're not direct booting an alternate operating system, it's... purely virtualization is the route. But these hypervisors can be very efficient, so the need to direct boot shouldn't be the concern."

You really can't think of any reason someone would have to take an international flight, ever?

What about their visa expiring, them not being in their home country, them not having infinite unlimited free money to support themselves indefinitely in a country they have no right to work in?

What about having a severely ill relative? Funerals? Weddings?

There are over 40,000 Australians stranded around the world alone, and our population isn't that large. I was one of them until today.

Alot of people say what you said, when they really mean "I don't PERSONALLY" need to take any international flights.

I agree with Covid-zero as a policy. I do not agree with leaving a person stranded and stateless, or unable to travel for legitimate and important reasons.

>then you basically have a problem with patents altogether

That's correct, I do. Patents should protect the rights long enough to bring a product to market, not stop all competition in an entire field of technology for decades

I'm quite sure they were.

>someone committing a crime should still face the consequences regardless of what they are fighting for.

This was literally the entire point of the protests. Way to miss the point.
