  • Meta’s Ray-Ban Display Glasses And The New Glassholes

    Jump

  • I don’t necessarily disagree, but this reads a bit like some of the comments on those old Slashdot threads clowning on the first smartphones.

    ‘these things will fail, I already have a camera, a cellphone, and an mp3 player, why would anyone want them all in one device?’

  • What is happening in the UK with respect to Palistine?

    Jump

  • I’m not repudiating anything; these are relevant news sources to help answer OP’s question.

    I haven’t heard the podcast, but feel free to share a link if you think it provides more information.

    Jump

  • Not justification, I never said I agree with the arrests. I’m just sharing the facts of the situation.

  • Can you please draw a bicycle from memory (no looking/cheating)?

    Jump

  • I just realised I drew the pedals as suspended in midair and frankly I regret nothing

  • What's your go-to online dictionary?

    Jump

  • For actual authoritative word definitions, usages, and spelling variants, I use Oxford English Dictionary - it requires an account but most libraries include free access.

    For quickly finding synonyms (and similar utility stuff) while writing, my go-to for the last few years has been WordHippo. There are plenty of other sites that give synonym lists, but in my experience WordHippo surfaces way more variety, including idiomatic expressions and slang.

  • England Trials Smartphone Rail Payment System with Real-Time Phone Location Tracking

    Jump

  • Ah yes, I too remember the part of 1984 in which Big Brother improved Oceania’s outdated train ticketing system.

  • What's a popular game series that you just can't understand the hype for?

    Jump

  • I also don’t care for Souls games, but I think ‘angry and miserable’ is the intended experience.

  • Give me a ten-word poem?

    Jump

  • I sit, pooping.The crampscome inwaves.Send help.

  • AI at the World’s Biggest Games Event(Gamescom) Booked Random Meetings for Attendees

    Jump

  • Unfortunately this was added to the gamescom b2b meeting platform, used by actual game developers and publishers to organise actual meetings with each other at the event. It’s not a throwaway marketing email to be sent straight to junk; it affected everyone using the system for genuine business purposes.

  • My petty gripe: forced software updates just make everything worse

    Jump

  • They’re still doing ‘pay up or allow all cookies’ popups, so definitely not good on them as far as I’m concerned.

  • California May Ban Lyft And Uber From AI Price Gouging Users With Low Phone Batteries

    Jump

  • Personally, I’d rather have a robust and up-to-date set of consumer protections rather than leaving everything up to ‘buyer beware’.

  • California May Ban Lyft And Uber From AI Price Gouging Users With Low Phone Batteries

    Jump

  • Nowhere in the article or the original report does it say this is specific to Apple devices.

  • iPhone Cameras Are Good

    Jump

  • This entire article boils down to ‘amateur photographer discovers that different lenses have different results’.

    Half of the complaints are due to differences in focal length, and the other half are due to different post-processing done by the default camera app.

    It’s interesting to compare, I guess, but there aren’t really any useful insights to be had.

  • Tea app leak worsens with second database exposing user chats

    Jump

  • Identifying and responsibly disclosing security flaws is legal; publicly exploiting them is not.

    The app is dumb and whoever developed it was beyond irresponsible, but the people involved in leaking the images & info they found aren’t innocent either.

  • Another Google Pixel 6a catches fire after battery-nerfing update

    Jump

  • Does 400 charge cycles really amount to just over a year of use for most people? I’m assuming one cycle means a full power cycle, not just a top up.

    For reference (and I understand it’s a bit apples to oranges) I’ve had my iPhone 15 since Dec 2023 and charge it every night and it’s currently showing 125 charge cycles.

  • Rising rocket launches linked to ozone layer thinning

    Jump

  • The billionaires’ various acts of performative space tourism are dumb to be sure, but they’re just a drop in the ocean for this specific issue.

  • Have you noticed more "content creators" using ai as a source

    Jump

  • Not personally, and if a creator I follow did so I would unsub immediately. It’s lazy and insulting to the audience.

    Anyone who cites an LLM or AI-generated summary as a legitimate source can’t be trusted to provide truthful or accurate information.
