Indeed, the focus was on this section but it is direct link to the relevant paragraph.

For the "last/latest", it is the result of trying to trim the title enough to enter in the size limited title box and then I didn't notice the typo.

At first I wanted to put the 3.5/3.6 model number because "latest" is not clear and time dependant but it was too long then.

And somehow, the most annoying is not even the price hike, but it is that is you expect to build a product on any of theirs models, they spend their time being deprecated and you have like to be on the lookup to start from scratch selecting a model and fitting it every year or so... Impossible to have any stability...

First it could be something depending on you enrolling like airport fastpass and second it would be a feature that it is complicated for both side to record and process the info so that they have the incentive to do the minimum possible.

But don't be naive, clearly US is not pushing so strong on this feature that it is clearly not just to facilitate your travel and reduce processing time but because they know that they will be able to tap as a friser in the best biometric database of foreign citizens that they could.

If you had time to spend, I'm wondering if you couldn't sue LG or Microsoft in some countries for something equivalent of "hacking". Like intrusion in a computer network. As it is unsolicited installation of something that is unexpected.

As there is no consequence for them, again there is no reason that it changes or that it doesn't get worse in the future.

They always talk about transparency and all but it never was as opaque as it is going on now.

There is no possible audit trail. No possible way to review what happened to validate the result. But even worse, no you will be billed somehow randomly. 20 sub agents started to do something we don't know. No way to now if it was legitimate, if it is just burning tokens or agents doing the same work on loop...

Let's be honest, like for national assemblies, lots of members of the parliament are quite dumb.

I think most of them will not even look at the biggest part of the laws they are supposed to vote. They will vote for whatever they are told to vote for by the party or carefully crafted lobbying.

For something like chat control, you don't see it but there are probably a dozen lobbyist that went to see them in turn, feeding lies and propaganda that they will not challenge because they have other "important" political subjects they are busy looking at.

The commission is leading the game with lots of tricks like what was done here to get what they want in the end.

Just look at the fact that very very few of member even realized or complained to have been played fool by the last vote.

And I mean that it is wonderful already that some many members did the right choice (and I hope because they understood the issue and not because they were told to vote this), but it is crazy that so many still voted in favor.

And who knows, maybe a lot of them didn't even understand the question and were thinking that the "no" was "no to chat control", but here it goes back to my initial point that they are dumb enough to be easily manipulated by the commission members.

They don't realized that it is their business decisions that ruined the experience of the console gaming and they probably still double down on that.

Before, you would buy and play a console to be able to play in a minute, eventually with buddy around. Playing time duration was a key metric in game reviews.

Now, as they want to milk us the maximum it is a nightmare, game are mandatory online, you wait minutes and even dozen of minutes to be able to play like 3 minutes rounds, you are constantly nagged with restrictions, hours updates in the middle of game that prevents you to play, they force you to subscribe, register, give up on your data and all, consent screens everywhere, upsell barriers everywhere, and little opportunity to play with your friends...

So, after a few months, everyone will lose interest in buying games and even play. It's not fun, lot of lost time and frustration.

I'm reading that probably too fast to have a deep thinking about it, but this J-Space isn't it just the basic of embedding vectors. If you think about getting from a place to another place, using wheels, no gas, to reply to the question of what to visit nearby, maybe in the vector space at the center of all of that you have the word "Bicycle" nearby, so obviously if you look at the value you would say that the model did "think" about "bicycle" when it is not "thinking" at all, and nothing related to human thinking.

I totally agree, even not going as far as a Parkinson case, if you already so old and not too old persons use phones and touch screens, you will see that very often it is complicated for them to click on the small button at the right place and to have the feeling that "they have clicked".

So, for me, on the argument of about accessibility, the Nothing Phone behavior will work a lot better I think. In their mind they don't count and click 6 times to put the image in a specific position. In addition with considering that it would not make much sense to click 8 times in advance to turn back in the exact position where you are.

The mindset in their case is more: click and wait, compare if it is the position you want and do it again. The other sensitive button that will bufer would probably trigger overshooting, going too far, then too back, etc... similarly to when you have issue scrolling in a list to the right spot.

The case of the iphone would be better only for someone like a younger person, tech nerd, that want things to go fast without having to wait. Same thing for computer keyboards where I could type multiple letters in advance before the first one even show up on the screen with the lag.

SSR is a huge pain in the ass. Now it starts to be hard to have all of that do the frontend properly and let good appropriate languages take care of the backend.

Instead of a stupid, broken and leaky node equivalent backend totally interlocked with code of the frontend.

I might be wrong, but I have a very very big suspicion that this website is fake and probably a scam of some way.

If you look at it, all "feeds" that are without any moving part or human are "live", and when there is anything that could have movements, then it is a "snapshot" that doesn't move.

And then there is this very funny one that I'm quite sure is AI generated: https://ipcrawl.com/?page=2&cam=63f7feaf5042d223 The picture: blob:https://ipcrawl.com/939da98f-dfbf-4019-8518-8bfbdfbcb8df

When you see the following sentence: "She said parents should not be blamed for a problem they did not create."

associated with the deceptive title, you can know for sure that this article has a hidden objective, and that there is a big lobby behind it. Something like "internet, digital, ... is bad, there should be regulation for that".

Because, let's be serious, if the causality was there (it is not the case), the obvious conclusion is that the parents are not doing their job or at most not well educated enough on how to raise a kid. It would not be the fault of anyone else.

It is well known that nowadays politics and companies are often waiting for other terrible news to release their own that they would like to be buried but are forced to publish.

What scary me a lot, is the amount of people here or in real life that are not concerned about that, and that are like "it is to protect the children, so whatever it is, it worth it. And what else we can do?". And often it goes on with things like "anyway, social media are bad, they ruin people even adult, so good thing". Literally they all look like repeating a carefully crafted propaganda without that much more deep thinking.

Basically, to mean it is brain rot. The problem is that it might concern a big part of the population and that is why we have such laws.

To me, it is exactly what was described in G. Orwell "Animal farm" book. Pigs are now in control and big part of the crowd are "sheeps".

Afterward, we always have hard time to understand how people could have let Nazi, Stasi, or Stalin come in power and do such awful things. But it never came in one day, and with the "i don't care, they probably now better" attitude of the current western country populations, you understand easily how all of that could have happened in a first place.

In the recent, and most recent history, let's not forget what happened to Putin's Russia. Russia was opening and on a very good course for individual freedom and rights, then a ex-KGB officer took control of the power and little by little, year after year, suppressed freedom, privacy, and opposition to reach the point of today where the country is a total nightmare for human rights and liberty.

This is the kind of ideology that is ruining public policies instead of being grounded on concrete and scientific facts and goals.

It is a need because it is a cancer that propagated to all big mail domain providers like gmail and microsoft 365. They are supposed to be business tools and still it is almost impossible to setup "device" email accounts that would identify just with credentials or equivalent without having to use a "web browser".

They claim "Degraded Performance", but 400 and 500 error responses is a non fully working service and not a performance that is just "less good".

Some clients may encounter 400 and 500 error responses.
