i've often wondered how Apple gets away with things like this, I guess its because they never gained the marketshare that Microsoft had

HABIT worked for me

it can jump from wherever it is to your highly attractive ground line

my department manages a fleet of ~10k Windows PCs and it's pulling teeth to get the users to allow an automated reboot once a month for updates. they invent all kinds of silly ways to avoid it. your situation seems atypical.

the aliens could have planted those records tho

“Every time we see a Google Pixel, we suspect it might belong to a drug dealer,” said a police official leading the anti-drug operation in Catalonia.."

Seems like some countries/areas are already targeting the Pixel (really its because of GrapheneOS)

6?!? We had only 4 colors in low res mode and 2 in high res

Many years ago I met a woman that ran a "business" that simply invoiced legitimate companies for printer supplies and toner every month. A surprising number of her invoices were paid without question.

That went on for a couple years. Then one day she left town basically in the middle of the night and we never heard from her again.

I have created a more private cloud compute that is superior to Apple's implementation. Why can't Apple users choose my better service?

there are similar concerns in the US but you can legally send a signal a couple hundred feet in most cases

“We encourage our engineers to vigorously test and critique our internal tools; that candid feedback loop, even via our internal meme generator, is vital to how we build technology," Google said. "We continue to refine our internal tools based on employee feedback to ensure we are delivering the best experience that maximizes daily productivity.”

Can anybody comment on whether that statement is an accurate reflection of how management at google treats these memes? On surface level it seems like they don't mind the memes and even use them as feedback but I wonder if that's how it really plays out

They'll probably change the name a few times, there's always hope

Its both

I think social media is a big factor. Anti-AI posts and comments are very popular on mainstream Reddit subs at least. Not sure if its a cause or an effect or even external manipulation

I work in a security adjacent role and I know we have had a few incidents that involved Railway networks lately. Could be something to that, I don't know

If you're on a typical US ISP, there is probably a way to avoid all filtering: pay for a business account rather than personal. Not saying it's fair or right, but it usually is an option

It seems like this super-product will have to be a thing soon or we will have to just stop using video evidence in court and other critical applications

same here

so drunk you don't remember the night, but you're told afterwards you had coherent conversations about complex topics?

I thought that was just our short term memory failing to commit to long term, not our intelligence actually turning off

this change makes Android more restricted than it was but still not as restricted as Apple. If anything I'd guess the EU vs Apple situation made Google more confident that they could get away with this change.

I'm just going from the bug description in the article, but it seems that depending on your network activity, the exact time you will actually notice an impact could vary quite a bit

yes, as long as you signed in once while online. windows caches the creds locally and afaik they do not expire

If you own more than one computer, the microsoft account syncs your desktop contents and other parts of the environment.. desktop background is one I've noticed. That can be nice

You certainly can log into a Windows machine without a microsoft account. It's actually still quite common in businesses that you log in with an account managed by your organization, although this is changing as more and more businesses migrate to MS Entra ID. This still isn't exactly a "microsoft account" but its similar.

You can also still log in with a completely local account as well. It takes a few extra minutes to set up but once configured it works fine.

The system is full of dark patterns and roadblocks that steer users towards an MS account, but you don't have to use one.

thats certainly a nicer input method, but is that what you're referring to when you say its an entirely different product?

i don't understand this take at all. what did the iphone do that the existing devices did not do?
