It's pretty much a given that every company is selling your data. Doesn't matter how much you think they shouldn't be. If they can they will. Even if they "can't", they still will. Just do your best to give as little information as possible to as few companies as possible.

...did you seriously just say that? These spacecraft were developed with increidble expertise and intentionality. Give it to a "frontier model" and they'll destroy it faster than you can blink.

It looks like the travel distance on the Microsoft Designer Keyboard is 1.35mm, so not far off.

How long are preorders/is the preorder discount available? I may seriously consider this.

Love the design and have also wanted a super low profile mechanical keyboard like this! I have one question though - what is the travel or activation distance of the keys?

The one thing I actually like about the magic keyboard or Microsoft's designer keyboard is that the "click" is immediate and the entirety travel distance of the key is the activation bump. I dislike any amount of the "extra" travel distance (I'm not sure if I'm using the right words/description, but I hope you get what I mean) of regular mechanical switches and is the main thing that turns me off from them.

Oh also, is it possible to get a Windows version or switch the keys around to accommodate Windows as well?

The problem is that A. A photo has no depth information to tell you the actual size of something, B. A photo cannot tell you what is behind something else so you can't see what's hidden, and C. Most importantly, when you're done cooking, a lot of ingredients in a food are "invisible" such as milk, butter, sugar, etc. and no camera or fancy AI can tell you what was used to make a food.

There is no "no one has executed it well enough" here. Every single attempt at this app idea has these exact same limitations. This not the same as a bird or plant identification app.

So many people have tried this exact same app. Good job making something, but I'm trying to save you a lot of wasted effort.

sigh will you nerds please stop trying to make this app idea happen, it doesn't work.

No? It's obvious the meaning is that most meteorites will never be found because they're tiny and no one witnesses where they land. If it hits a house you know where it landed.

This is widely true if you look at popular support for issues that politicians refuse to implement or even address. That said, the trick is getting most people to actually recognize and admit that. As soon as some people sense you're "on the other team", their brain shuts down and they refuse to acknowledge any common ground with you. Not everyone, of course, but more than enough that it has led to the extreme political polarization we see today.

I don't play those, but I know at least with games like those, where players like to play on specific versions, there's usually ways to stay on a specific version without too much hassle.

Yep, this 100%. When I see a "pending update" notification or icon somewhere, the first thing I think is "I don't want to update, they're just going to break something new". I _hate_ updates now. Doesn't matter what software it is, with the small exception of video games. (Except Dead By Daylight. Behavior, the devs, are the most hilariously incompetent devs on the planet, but at least their incompetence is confined to their own game.)

I'm sure I'm preaching to the choir on this site, but just in case anyone needs to be told: Don't ever let anyone tell you everything is fine because "See? They fire people that abuse the system. It's all okay!". For every one they fire, there's 10 or 100 more that aren't. Surveillance like this is not okay. Police always abuse their power. End of story.

Did they really call it that? I guess Tesla cars really are ASS in more ways than one!

To make my comment more substantive than simple snark, I have never in my life gotten even remotely motion sick from anything. Boats, cars, carnival rides, you name it, until I rode in a Tesla. That was the first and only time I've ever started feeling motion sick. It's an incredibly poorly designed and manufactured car if it rides so badly it can do that to me.

IIRC, Framework did ask AMD to explore a more repairable approach with socketable CPU and RAM for these chips and they did but came back and said it wouldn't perform well enough that way.

And what if I do care about quality? As the consumer, I do not even have that choice to make 99% of the time. This is very much a false equivalency and it isn't even close.

Companies get to choose what products or product qualities to make. If I, a consumer, want or need a product, I can only choose between what is made available to me by the companies.

It certainly doesn't help that it's nearly impossible to tell what is or isn't a quality product before or even after you buy it. What am I supposed to do when I buy a new power tool? Rip it apart and inspect all the parts to determine if it's "quality"? How am I supposed to tell if it even is "quality"? I'm not a manufacturing or engineering expert. Even when you think you're buying quality, it's not most of the time. Companies sell shit products at premium prices all the time because almost no one can tell the difference.

God I'm sick and tired of AI companies being so damn whiney all the time. Shut up already. No one cares.

I don't remember whether it was this or "sunshine", but game streaming from your own PC hasn't been the same since it was simply "turn on the Nvidia feature". It was way too difficult to figure out how to make it work the last time I tried and I gave up and haven't tried again since. For all the good they do otherwise, FOSS devs just never seem to get usability right.

Oh gee, _now_ the developers who always insisted unions would hamper their ability to earn top wages because they're such special uniquely talented little developers suddenly want... protections that a union would provide?

If only anyone saw this coming...

How does a National ID system being "cryptographically secure" prevent someone from stealing your identity?

It's too bad not enough people know about using adguard dns on their phones. Dunno about iPhones but it works wonders on Android. Only downside is it sometimes interferes with signing into public wifi networks.

This guy is 100% on the mark. Amazon is all about throwing the guy next to you under the bus to get ahead. They will chew you up and spit you out. NEVER work there!

Do NOT work for Amazon!

If you had a different offer, I'd say consider it, but Amazon is VERY likely to leave you high and dry within 12 months. Never ever trust that company unless you are completely willing and able to land on your feet when they unceremoniously kick you to the curb tomorrow for no good reason other than some manager needed a scapegoat to make his numbers look good.

Do yourself a favor, stay out of the current mess of a market, stay away from Amazon, and take some extra time to learn more and become more employable.

Also, never trust Reddit. It's like 50% bots and trolls and 50% idiots who have no idea what they're talking about whatsoever but like to make themselves feel like they're smart by saying whatever dumb unfounded idea comes to their head. It's just as bad or worse than Twitter. Would you take advice from random people on Twitter?

Ew. Ex-Amazon. Never trust "career insights" from _anyone_ at or from Amazon.

Yeah, Wikipedia is famously hostile to new contributors. It's a wonder they still continue existing and also have the gall the beg for donations. Imagine if reddit begged for donations?

I don't even really think about wikis as a set of interlinked documents moreso just as a repository of information. In the context of games whose communities created wikis, at least. Usually the discoverability of and interlinking of documents in said community wikis is pretty piss-poor though.

Most people don't have a choice for what ISP they use. And even when they do it's usually "do what to live in the modern world or deliver your packets via the Pony Express?".

Whoops, lack of sleep, haha.

Lol! Yep, that's my bad. Too sleepy right now.

~~I wouldn't be so sure about "clearly". We're still very squarely in the "fancy auto-complete" stage of "AI", the name of which I still consider more branding than reality.~~

Edit: Ignore me, I'm sleepy and can't read, lol

This is also true, but for what I was calling out, people do pay off mods to supress or promote certain content on the subs they moderate or mods push their own sites or products if they have something to push.

You have to realize that the majority of reddit "users" are either bots (especially now with LLMs making it so easy to generate text on the fly) or utterly braindead. Just last week I got banned and comment deleted from a subreddit calling out someone for deliberately spreading false information. Their comment? Still there.

I have one friend who just loves listening to AI readings of AI-generated drama farming content purporting to be real content from Reddit. It's bizarre.

I also found at least one subreddit for a product which specifically banned posts with the word "scam" in them when I went to make a post about the product being a scam. If that doesn't tell you how much of a scam it actually is, I don't know what does.

Even before the rise of LLMs, everyone knew Reddit was astroturfed to hell and back.

Reddit mods are largely paid shills. Reddit users are zombies. It's worthless to consider the site as a good source of information or sentiment anymore.

Meetup used to be that until they got greedy and started charging everyone. It collapsed very quickly after that. It's a ghost town now.
