Appreciate the reasoned response. It was my thought in reading the article as well too.

TL;DR: Samsung is better, according to the author.

Some questions remain though, as Google’s Magic Eraser gives multiple options for object removal. Some are quite bad or blotchy, others are nearly seamless. Don’t like any of the options it’s provided, then ask it to try again. The author doesn’t touch on this at all. Did they select the first option everytime? Was this the best of the options they were provided?

They refused to send a model and asked him not to review until the new software was out. So they knew. He bought one anyway.

But man would a Team Fortress 3 be welcomed. Like running a franchise into the ground, the lack of levity in games nowadays is sorely lacking.

👍 Precisely.

Don’t encourage the behaviour. As the saying goes… Give a man a fish and you’ve fed him for a day… Teach a man to fish and you’ve fed him for life.

This a huge step back for transparency with Meta (shocker). Access to this data is important for a variety of reasons, and using the recent EU laws as an excuse is deplorable (again, shocker from Meta).

It’s clear the data companies were left alone for too long to rule the schoolyard. It’s going to take some time to treat them and others what decorum looks like without throwing an absolute hissy fit.

Here’s hoping the EU, which seems to be the only teacher on the playground willing to discipline anyone, will set them straight.

This should be a setting under “Cast Options” in Google Play Services options. At least that’s where that generic notification is on my Pixel.

Won’t affect your “direct” casting, like Spotify, just the generic broadcast, without turning off the per device options.

I’ve turned off the broadcast on every device in my world, because I found it obnoxious.

😂 As a Canuck, we use both. But the computer term is definitely Kernel. Unless we’re marching out on a battlefield…

Someone give this writer a raise for not using AI to describe a new algorithm.

I’d imagine it’s scant on details because it’s still a theory. The next phase of the competition is funds to build a proof of concept.

Wireless switches — consisting of a transmitter on the switch and a receiver near a light fixture or other appliance — have been around for many years, and have been proven that they can reduce the material and labour cost for wiring houses, says Kambiz Moez, director of electrical engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, but they require batteries to operate.

So the product already exists, what is novel here is a concept to harvest RF energy I stead of batteries.

Neat technology, but nonsense title. The Stethoscope is rarely used for something as specific as the heartbeat anymore. Listening to various body systems, though? That’s where it finds use.

Are the lungs congested? Confirming what the sinus rhythm is showi?

Computers, for all their advancements are still diagnostic tools that need confirmation. They still give off false positives and miss things.

Yes, it talks about ownership, because the original poster talked about ownership.

Google hosts files, and thus needs to have some semblance of control over what actually is hosted on it, or they become liable for the same content.

Pirated material? Child pornography? etc. It all needs to be scanned and determined if it violates rights/laws and be dealt with.

Google has always done this automatically, because the sheer scale of content they host is overwhelming.

I totally understand the ‘own everything’ mentality that some hold. That’s fair – then host it yourself, encrypt it, and you can hold the key to your little kingdom. For most people, that isn’t a factor.

To get back to the original claim – they don’t claim rights over what you post. It is yours. You just can’t host other people’s stuff. The definition of that is incredibly broad and largely commercial. 99% of people will never, ever run into the issue. 99% of the remaining 1% will discover it innocently (such as another poster trying to back up office). The remaining will already be versed enough to encrypt their data locally before uploading.

Google explicitly stated the exact opposite of what you’ve said here: Google Drive Terms of Service

It’s articles like this that make me glad there are numerous horses in the race.

Autonomous driving is an incredibly complex problem. We have people like Musk who thought they could throw money at the problem and have it solved in a few years, with disastrous results.

We’ve lost Uber, and Cruise is flagging. Both had been touted as examples to follow. Both have had some serious safety problems from moving too quickly and lacking caution.

Behind all of this is Waymo. Plodding along, gathering vast amounts of data and experience and iterating slowly.

I think they, out of all these players, understand the stakes at hand, and the potential profit on the other end. But you have to get it right. It has to be nearly perfect, because people need to trust it, and our emotions are fickle.

I’m genuinely confused how this is a thing. How are people rapidly pressing the power button 5 times in rapid succession without being aware of what they’re doing?

Now adding a 3 second press after those 5 presses is solving the problem? Mine as well go back to opening the phone app and dialling the number.

To be fair, it seems that AMD is intercepting, modifying, and injecting code. That’s not a false positive, that VAC working as intended.

What’s wild is that AMD didn’t have a conversation with Valve before releasing this. You can’t go messing with someone else’s code, particularly in such a highly competitive game, and not expect to screw some things up for players.
