"Very minimal" unless the solution to your current task is in that missing %6 of capability.

Their site is still broken, months later. Pinching to zoom in progressively covers the content on the page.

Kinda wild to think they haven't fixed it yet. On mobile you cannot zoom in to view their images.

Maybe the site is vibe coded and nobody at Qwen actually knows how to fix it..

Another astonishing UX fail was (still is) on Xiaomi's page[1] - where they try, and successfully fail, to showcase a video editor implemented by their model.

They embed a screen capture hosted on a Chinese hosting site BiliBili, too bad the video is 360p pixel soup.

To be able to change the resolution you are required to:

- know to use desktop view in the browser to make the resolution button show

- know Chinese to understand which button is "resolution" and that you need to login to switch resolution

- have and account with the video hoster or be willing to register

I was curious, but not that curious...

"Nobody wanted to be United States' vice president" is an extraordinary claim to me. So I'd expect extraordinary proof.

Sounds like the free are even more free due to less criminals roaming free. Guess the rest of the world should step their game up.

If the land of the free can't escape the all-seeing eye of Flock, us Europe folks are doomed.

that it is "my fault" not being logged into google I was least expecting to see here.

Parent was just starting a fact of how our digital overlords determine the probability of your browser being a bot. Why take it personal?

According to who?

Never did. It was a while back, but in the great Chips War the Micron and Hynix fabs got nuked to atoms. So all memory was confiscated for the war effort.

But now that things are finally turning normal, everybody gets a daily token allowance for GeminiGPT 7.2 and you can even boost your ratio if you volunteer your bioenergy to the local GPT microdatacenter (cycling or run on the H-wheel for an hour gets x1.02 output tokens for the day).

In my country in the EU it's illegal to market homeopathic remedies if they contain active ingredients in quantities that could have an effect. Otherwise they become regular medicine with different marketing requirements.

Guilty as charged. I often perpetrate actually

I can talk about Italy because I've researched it.

The first step should be to show them the Privacy Authority press release[1] - "No to preservation of guest ID copies".

You should be prepared to be refused check-in if they're stubborn and feel like you "cause problems". The protection you have is that public service (hotel) is forbidden to refuse service by law[2][3], fine is €516 up to €3098. If it happens you should call police to verbalise and apply the fine. Refusal by police (Rifiuto di atti d'ufficio) is criminal offence and punishable with imprisonment 6mo - 2yr [4].

You should present ID to allow identification. The host must insert, by law at most 24hrs after check-in [5], client data into police portal, like name, DOB, nationality etc.

Everything else is extra and by GDPR you should be informed of any data processing, basis of processing, duration of processing, and your rights.

You can write Garante della Privacy to signal violations of GDPR if you feel it's warranted. I know they're happy to investigate and apply big fines to larger companies, not sure about how they handle smaller companies, like hotels.

To be able to push back you should know the law requirements for hotels in that jurisdiction, so they can't gaslighting you with fake "it's for police" reasons.

While visiting Italy I've had the hotel photocopy my ID. I've researched and the legal requirement for the hotel is to fill a form on the police website, nothing more. While doing the checkout I've pressed them on the reason for keeping the photocopy ("is it for identity theft? "), the duration they were going to keep the copy etc. Basic info they were bound to disclose because of GDPR _before_ the data processing, which of course never happened.

Turns out the local policemen asked verbally to make photocopies, just in case... The hotel is more afraid of the local police than of it's clients, so they just do it.

Since I was the only client who ever asked about it, and gaslighting me wasn't going to work ("everybody does it! what do you have to hide?"), they just gave me the copy to destroy.

Other places copy IDs because they're lazy and don't want to compile the required form on the spot. Not to mention ID photocopies floating around the reception desk in plain sight...

I wish people stopped using distracting animations below the text I'm trying to read and comprehend.

Don't know about right, but for a while it worked better than "regular" medicine. At least it wouldn't kill you, when the alternative was intensive bloodlettings and purgatives.

Can you expand on why Qwopus is not recommended and what "Nex/Orinth" brings to the table?

PSA: somebody put together a detailed table[1] comparing security and privacy features of most common Android-based OSes. Yes, GrapheneOS looks amazing but requires a Pixel phone, at least until the new Motorola devices come out.

Sounds like discrimination, no consumer's rights associations to take them to court?

I've come from the future to say Qwen 3.7 27B is just around the corner and slaps!

It's a work phone because it's not a personal phone.

During the TLS handshake, you send the domain name in clear text (Server Name Indication - SNI extension) so that the hoster can present the correct certificate for that domain.

Nothing prevents the ISP from collecting that.

Yours is not particularly problematic but I've always wondered how come advertising agencies allow highly controversial topics on their billboards in the US.

I know some (all?) EU advertisers deny creatives based on optics i.e. "our name and logo is on the billboard frame, we don't wanna get associated with topic X".

It's a work phone, I don't see the issue.

Isn't the synchronised effort suspect to you?

Porn is arguably as damaging and addictive as social media. How do you explain the inaction regarding child access to porn in the last 25 years?

Pretty sure nobody is worried about peaceful protests.

As long as they responded in writing, you have proof that the other party agrees the clause is false.

I wonder if a judge would keep that clause in the contract in case of litigation.
