I don’t know man. I do remember what I thought of the early touchscreens. They got scratched up by a wet fart, they were inaccurate, they were generally not great to use. But the potential was there, and everyone could see it.

Then people much smarter than you or I made better kinds of glass, more accurate capacitive sensors, etc. They can even hide fingerprint readers behind them now, which would have been inconceivable some time ago. I do believe the crease thing can be solved with enough R&D. And I do believe it will be, because unlike the stupid edge screen stuff Samsung put on their phone ca. Galaxy S7 or thereabouts, foldable screens have a clear potential to be way more than just a dumb gimmick that nobody really cares about.

I am cautiously optimistic. Early touchscreens were pretty shit too, but they’ve been developed pretty well by now. This might be figured out in time as well.

Still kinda is. Some devices might not be able to connect to your tailnet. You might be trying to reach your devices from a device that isn’t on your VPN. The funnel might work, if you can work within its limitations.

Holy balls that is an absolutely embarrassing thing to post. Who the fuck cares if it takes 0.06 seconds (yes, that is six hundredths of a second) less to maximize the application window? It’s such a meaningless improvement to such a low impact metric that it’s embarrassing to even mention it. Convinces me even more that they know it sucks so bad that they’re grasping at any positive number regardless of how practically insignificant it is.

Still crapware, in a way.

Most mobile devices have their power management modules configured to prevent booting unless they receive an all good signal from a connected battery. It is possible to take that signal, but not trivial.

That’s likely. In the article you can see the flag being tagged as a plate with a confidence score way below most minimums. That means the detection model itself is pretty sure it’s not looking at a license plate but Flock is still keeping that patch tagged. Maybe there are legitimate real life reasons for accepting such low confidence scores, but I’m skeptical about that.

Pretty big difference. An open weight model is a model that you can run on your own machine. You just download and it’s yours to host and use. You don’t need to have anyone host it on their own backend for you, the entire model is available to you to do that on your own. What you don’t have is any control over or access to anything related to how the model was trained. You don’t know what kind of data they used to train it, and how exactly they used that dataset. If you did, that’d be an open source model.

On Android the default camera app is usually the only app that provides all of that. Which is actually a problem. You usually lose your camera’s higher functions when you install a custom ROM and it’s usually an absolute pain in the ass to get them back if it’s at all possible because cameras and their drivers are all poorly documented proprietary crap.

Two examples I can think of:

“It’s a tie”, as in a draw, translated to mean “it’s a necktie”

“Roger that” translated to mean “that must be a man named Roger”

You can. Henry Ford didn’t exterminate them, he just mass produced an alternative.

I used to think I was just bad at the game and was doing something wrong because no way she could the that useless while all the other party members are basically gods unto themselves. Turns out she really is shit and you just have to pay the skeleton man to make her good.

I’ll confirm everything everyone else said. Hosting your own email server is a major pain in the ass for many unrelated reasons. The mail stack is complex. You need to do a whole bunch of things right to avoid your setup from getting flagged as spam. You need to secure it real well. Hosting it at home is likely to be almost impossible because it is very common for residential internet subscriptions to have the required ports blocked, and the ISPs will very often refuse to open them for you even if you have a nice static IP. Getting around that is not gonna be easy.

There’s a reason why so many ardent homelabbers refuse to touch email hosting with a 10 foot pole.

Either your eyes are bad or the files you’ve watched. There’s an absolutely enormous difference between 720p and proper 4k with a decent bitrate. Also a decent display with good HDR can add a lot as well.

Because calibre also allows me to convert other formats into epub.

Some files are unreadable garbage because of bad OCR or bad formatting or whatever. I use calibre to preview files in its built-in viewer, to see how they would be rendered on my actual reader. Helps a ton.

Some files have messed up metadata. Calibre helps with fixing that. I have encountered files that would appear as documents on my Kindle rather than books, for example. Easy fix with calibre.

Even if it is not messed up per se, I still sometimes use calibre to sometimes edit metadata to tidy them up. So that the author information between different books of the same series is the same, for example. “Banks, Iain M.” for all the Culture books, rather than a wild mess of various different variations of the same name. I have also added missing pieces of information to help group books in my library etc.

It’s a super useful tool. I just wish it didn’t spam so many system notifications though.

It’s not easier to that on the ground. Those analyses are done by large radars slapped on top of satellites. They can scan huge tracts of land in very quickly with very high precision. More precise than airborne systems. They work regardless of the weather. The same satellites can keep track of river flows, forest growths, volcanic and tectonic activity, floods, structures like bridges, whole bunch of things. They can be used for extremely accurate mapping. They are insanely useful tools.

They’re in such a low orbit that they’re barely staying in space already. You could explode all Starlink satellites right now and all their debris would naturally fall back into the atmosphere and leave the orbit clean in just a few years at most.

Xiaomi bootloaders used to work like that. You’d have to jump through some bullshit hoops to register your phone for bootloader unlocking, and then wait a few days to finally be able to unlock it. Then they made that worse and worse, and afaik it’s so insanely difficult and inconvenient right now that it’s practically impossible to unlock your Xiaomi phone’s bootloader. This applies to all the brands under that umbrella.

I am about 97.37% sure Google will do the same over time and at some point you just won’t be able to install any APKs.

They didn’t. They agreed to buy them. With the money that they don’t yet have, and probably can’t ever earn.

Which makes this whole thing so much more insane.
