Sure but that's arguably 3rd party at that point.

It does achieve high accuracy but I think given the context when one wants to know this information, plagarism for research papers and college/highschool essays and work, it's unfortunately not good enough.

My neighbour is a teacher. She has a really good idea which of her students uses AI to do their homework but 80% accuracy is not good enough. She'd need to be able to prove it with certainty.

Natively it doesn't.

There are 3rd party camera apps that support it, but you'd have to download them separately. GrapheneOS camera app is fine but nothing outstanding. It will give you decent pictures but don't expect any fancy upscaling or editing features.

Or just keep it turned off entirely? Every "smart" device I have has the option to disable WiFi/bluetooth entirely so it doesn't even show up.

The problem is certification. I've had lots is USB cables over the years from cheap to expensive. The only ones that reliably did what was on the tin where the USB-IF certified ones.

At this point I have a switched pretty much everything to Club3d. They used to make GPUs but are now firmly connectors only. In the past 5 years no issues with any of the cables I bought from them.

Why not delete it? I assume that if you don't have it, they offer some other form of communication with you?

In Germany, we love our signs (not really). We have so many of them though and specific rules and lots of exceptions on where to put them.

For example, typical city road speed is 50kmh, but residential side streets are 30kmh. If you cross an intersection there usually should be a sign telling you the speed limit because people turning onto other roads need to know how fast they're going. Except there sometimes isn't. So you're coming from a 30kmh road and turn onto a 50kmh without a sign. Your car now thinks you're still in a 30kmh road. What about GPS positioning? Sure, that works, until cities have started deciding that actually their main city roads should be 30 instead of 50. (Something I agree with btw) Except no signs and if you don't pay for your cars subscription service to get the newest updates, good luck getting that info.

Beyond that, construction zones with shittily placed signs or signs that are placed not in optimal locations. Driving on the highway but there's an offramp for an interchange with a 60kmh speed limit for the offramp? Guess your highway speed is set to 60 now. Enjoy the car beeping at you.

Economy and business seem to be on the same total sum level for revenue.

Economy needs more passengers but I doubt you could make an all business class flight at the size of a typical airplane and sell enough tickets to make up for the lost economy passengers.

It can be cheaper to borrow additional money instead of existing savings (in whatever form they are) if the interest rate is low enough.

I'd imagine there are a lot of lenders that have no issue giving nvidia super low interest rates because of who they are and the fact that they are printing money.

So how these companies and people manage to use these absurd amount of tokens is a mystery to me.

Fire and forget. They run multiple agents in parallel 24/7. AI isn't just a rubber ducky for them, its their main (only) tool at that point.

They are the first to make split mobile ACs widely available to the masses. They previously existed but were mainly advertised as camping or boat ACs.

Midea put quite a bit of money into ads, sponsorships, etc but they also simply make a really good product.

I've had a monoblock AC before. Same BTU as the Midea one I have now. It was significantly louder, took way longer to cool the same room, and used more energy.

He is connected and gives money to people

Thats why. Not that we should listen to him (no clue who exactly he is) but thats why he gets attention.

Its not.

But making a hole in the wall to the outside is. That would generally be considered a permanent change and requires approval from landlord and in case the apartment building has multiple owners, approval from those as well

Sort of. We dont have sliding windows. Windows tilt in Germany so it's a weird shape you need to close up. Portable ACs come with a mesh cover that works OK but its not as good as a properly sealed window. They're also significantly less efficient and much louder.

Midea has released the Porta split a few hears ago which was a game changer for many people. I currently have one cooling the bedroom.

Price, mostly, isn't the issue.

Living in Germany, rental apartments simply don't have AC. Even luxury apartments that are 4k+ per month typically dont. Thats changing very slowly but still a long way to go.

A lot of landlords simply don't give a shit as they're not required to install one and since there is a housing shortage, good luck convincing them of anything.

Even if you own your apartment, installing a split AC requires unanimous approval from the other apartment owners before you can install one because making any permanent modifications to the outside of the building (like drilling a hole) needs their permission.

The older generation (generalising here) often has the opinion that the cold air from ACs is unhealthy and causes cold.

Once you get past all of that, is when price can become the issue. The AC units, even top-of-the-line, cost around 1k-1.8k. Good luck finding someone to install it for you. You need an electrician and a licenced installer.

I own my house so I dont need anyone's permission. The cheapest total cost (including the 1.2k for the unit I want) is 6k. Because apparently drilling 2 holes and, running the wire and coolant pipes is 4.8k.

Its not a different os though. Its still android. VW seems to just have turned on integrity checks which constantly cause issues for non-google androids. Plenty of banks do the same.

3 pages deep into their comment history only brings me to 5 days ago so probably yes.

You'll never convince companies and users to leave MS Office if they cannot simply use and open their billions of "excel files that should have been a database".

Ensuring that you can do exactly that means the barrier for switching is significantly lower.

France and UK have a nuclear arsenal. France specifically has said they are willing to extend their policy to cover other EU countries.

They did announce Guild Wars 3 last Friday btw. Not set to release until 2027.

Also Guild Wars 1 has been receiving new content updates this year.

Depends on your desktop specs and specific model.

The easiest way I have found is to use LM Studio, grab the model you want, and point whatever tooling you're using at the local exposed API.

You will have to configure the model params (temperature, etc) a bit to get the style you're expecting but it works decently well for me.

Running models locally is surprisingly easy and possible even on older hardware.

Obviously not the largest, up-to-date models but for what I expect most people use them for, even on hn, there are some shockingly good models that dont require €4k machines.

I have a desktop with an AMD 6900XT and 5600 with 32GB ram. Obviously no slouch but its several years old at this point. I can comfortably run qwen 3.5 9b and get a speedy 60 token/sec output with decent results.

Depends on your bank.

A lot of banks in Germany still offer photoTAN generators. Effectively, a physical device that generates 2FA codes for your login. You can then use the website as usual and use the codes from this instead of phone confirmation. This is one example from ING.[0]

That way you can effectively use most feature phones as your daily drivers. HMD (Nokia) still manufacturers some of them that even come with GPS, etc. There are some feature phones that even run Android but I don't know what app support for things like Spotify is like.

True but you're still taking it out on another person.

To perhaps be a bit more pendantic.

You're not allowed to take out life insurance on someone you don't know or have a relationship (business or otherwise) with.

Life insurance on a business partner works. Life insurance on your spouse as well.

Life insurance on the leader of a random country? Unlikely

Did you receive your money back?

If not, time for a charge back with your card provider.

They have been suing and winning. Yet Cloudflare continues. I'm not a fan of overzealous companies, like La Liga, cutting out massive portions of the internet in Spain during football matches, but Cloudflare isn't the good guy here either.

La Liga sued Cloudflare in Spanish court and won. Cloudflare now starts taking down content that directly violates La Ligas copyright, but mainly only in Spain. It looks like Cloudflare will happily still serve the exact same content outside of Spain.

In response to these court rulings, the got the US government involved and now there is talk of this being a digital trade barrier.

Form a legal standpoint, you're correct.

From a moral/ethic one, its still shit.

You're legally allowed to do a whole lot of things. You can still be called an asshole for doing them.

Kind of. It reads a bit too much like tech support you'd get when asking one for help.

Statistically speaking, does extremely unlikely mean impossible?

No, it means extremely unlikely. Collisions can occur, as op just found out, but the chances are so abysmally small that most people don't care.

Any application I have worked on, I always had a pre-save check to see if the UUID was already present and generate a new one if it was. Don't think it ever triggered unless a bug was introduced somewhere but good practice anyway.
