  • Woman Calls Out Doctor Wearing Smart Glasses During Consultation Where She Had To Take Off Her Clothes: 'They Need To Be Banned'

  • No, because it's wrong just enough to slip errors into your medical report that seem plausible, but can be dangerously wrong.

    You can and should say no to AI writing anything into your medical report.

    People get lazy and don't review things as carefully when they see it's usually correct, and you don't always get the opportunity to read all the notes of your medical report yourself.

  • Why does Android Auto require usb connection in some cars, even though the same car connects to other apps wirelessly (eg. Spotify)

    Jump

  • I tried the Motorola one and it was unreliable. Switched to the AA wireless and it's been great.

    I still use wired USB for long trips tho, phone doesn't heat up quite so much that way.

  • Amazon will remove the option to download/transfer Kindle e-books via USB by February 2025

    Jump

  • Yeah, it's been hit and miss with downloading from the Kindle. I mostly get books from the library and strip the DRM from there. I figure it's a win-win, because the library gets a record of the checkout, but then I get to read it at my leisure while the next person gets to read it.

    This currently works, but I don't know if it will continue working forever - probably not too much longer after this announcement.

    The "old Kindle PC app" might keep working in the future, but my guess is that it's going to be done soon as well.

    edit: One thing I ran into was after installing the kindle app and turning off the auto-update, it still updates. So keep the installer handy and just reinstall it as needed.

  • 3D Printed Steam Deck Accessories You Might Like

    Jump

  • I've tried a bunch of times, but haven't really found anything that's been particularly useful as a steamdeck 3d printed accessory. Probably the closest I've come is a steamdeck gridfinity storage solution for my desk, and a stand to play if I felt like using an xbox controller instead of holding the deck.

    Here's the ones linked from the video, nothing in there was super interesting. Best one of the bunch was the charger insert, but I've found it to be annoying to use. I just go back to a small bag to stuff the charger into.

  • The drivers license number has information about gender and birthdate encoded into it. You can see enough of the number to know that this is someone who registered as female, and has a recorded birth date of 29 July '98. I assume this person isn't 126 years old, so we'll say they're 26.

    You can tell it's an Illinois license, because no other state is as obsessed with Lincoln. (Edit: you can also read the Illinois in the seal in the back left)

  • Cool thing about Illinois drivers licenses is that we know OP is 26 now.

  • Clickbait asteroid

    Jump

  • The caveat to THAT is that we do have historical data, and if we can find one or more images confirmed to be the target, we could narrow it down without additional imaging.

  • Show HN: SQL Noir – Learn SQL by solving crimes

    Jump

  • Fun, but two critiques.

    First, you kinda have to know SQL to play, so I'm not sure what it's teaching? More like practice SQL, than learn SQL.

    Second, there's no direct references from one query to the next, so you have to write and rewrite the same statements, and then remember answers to go onto the next step. You either need to do this on a computer with notepad pulled up to copy/paste queries, or a physical notepad to keep track of info.

    This is especially true in the later levels where the number of databases increase.

    Kinda difficult to play on a phone with no good way to copy/paste or save queries.

  • It's not a world ending strike. It's 2.3% odds that a city ending strike lands somewhere on earth, most likely in the ocean.

    It's a fraction of a fraction of a % that it'll hit somewhere with any humans at all, much less a populated city.

    And on top of that, we have until 2032 to decide what to do about it, with enough time to potentially redirect it with technology we've already demonstrated that works. And if that isn't enough, we just need one or two more data points to figure out almost exactly where it will hit, and can evacuate the area.

    Just like we do for hurricanes and other natural disasters.

    This is not an emergency, this is an easy mode try out for a real disaster.

  • Jeep's annoying pop-up nags you to buy an extended warranty at every stop sign

  • US Lemmings: I need help selling my car and I have no idea what I am doing anymore.

    Jump

  • They do an after purchase check on the car, and the cars sold have a post-sale warranty.

    Both CarMax and Carvana offer a one week refund policy, and a post sale warranty. The warranty doesn't cover everything, but they won't be selling a car they expect will immediately fall apart, cause they'd have to eat that problem.

    I assume if they end up with a piece of crap, they'll sell the car to an auction or scrapyard to recoup what they can.

  • Man who lost $780M in Bitcoin in a landfill now wants to buy the dump

    Jump

  • Owning the landfill doesn't mean you can do whatever you want with it. There's environmental regulations around rummaging around in toxic garbage.

    If they let him do this, they'll just end up with an improperly managed landfill with toxic junk leaking out into the environment.

  • The part you're missing is that earth isn't a point in space. That's why there's tides caused by the sun (which are different than tides caused by the moon)

    A person wouldn't feel the difference, but the tides would slosh back when the solar gravity stops effecting them.
