different language auto-correct really didn’t help my inborn lack of spelling, and I (apparently) didn’t even glance back to check what I wrote.

I haven’t Bhad a case which sisn’t didn’t mirror the camera bump in a long while unfortunately

Side note, basically every smart phone out there has orientation sensors, so it should be just as easy as downloading a Bubble Level app from the app store.

not when almost every phone has a camera bump, volume rockers and a power button.

i.e. no long flat sides, that still allow you to see the screen.

well, Apollo was not part of the Saturn program, was it?
Rocket did fine, even during Apollo 13 it wasn’t the Saturn.

They talk about the safety record of Saturn rockets without mentioning that using those isn’t currently possible

And that, at least from my memory, multiple people in the Saturn Program considered it to have been extremely good luck to not have had a failure which led to deaths.

Tl;dw Default config is 16gb ram, 256gb ssd
32gb ram is 450$ upgrade, 2tb ssd is 800$ Amazon prices are 120-150$ for 64gb ram or 2tb nvme ssd

So maxing out both costs 1250 for a ~300$ (retail) upgrade, if that were possible.

We can reliably screen for HIV (all blood donations are) why the fuck are homosexuals discriminated against over this.

except that the tests are (per cdc) up to 90 days late in detection. So you may get infected and spend 3 months testing negative.

And judging by OPs being german, where the rule (admittedly only since 2021) is “you may only have fucked one guy for the last 4 months”, this seems like being on the safe side, but not completely excessive to me.

I’ve donated plenty of times, because it makes sense that there is no other way to save lives than to donate.

On the other hand, I’ve been wondering for years, that while I’ve been told a million times that “blood reserves are low - donate blood now!”, I’ve not ever heard that a single person died due to lack of available blood.
Why would something like that not be reported if you want to motivate people to donate?

My personal guess is that this comes because “lack of avaiable blood donations” isn’t a valid cause of death, the cause of death is whatever else (gun shot wound, knife severed artery / complication during surgery etc), thus it’s hard to pinpoint. Also Doctors may try to “save” blood, when they know little is available, and people may die that may have lived if they had gotten (more) blood, but also they may not have and it is hard to tell.

I still wait for the day where smartphones become the only computer for most people.
dock it, (maybe cool it) and the available power is significant.

google is definitely taking steps there with their virtualization work and desktop mode, just slow.
Apple may be too, with their switch to ARM on desktop.

fuck yeah, definitely the right direction.

still a ways to go, but hey, baby steps

Wonder if benchmarks will switch to a more sustained load profile.

I also hope that Android will get some desktop mode with maybe even linux app support like chrome os (but I of course am dreaming) to actually use the insane power in a more ergonomic environment than in my palm

this could be bad for mozilla / firefox.

if Google can’t continue to try to increase / sustain their market share, they may stop paying mozilla to be thw default.

I was hoping for this.
Apples new App-Store rules seemed to mock the intent of the Digital Markets Act.

I wonder how you ever could “upload” a consciousness without Ship-of-Theseusing a Brain.

Cyberpunk2077 also has this “upload vs copy” issue, but doesn’t actually make you think about it too hard.

yeah, but it’s not nearly as good as it seems.

ion thruster with a tiny bit of extra thrust snd ISP because of fusion reactions.

So Apple still wants to have the power to reject apps from third party app stores.

Curious if that will pass the EUs “Gatekeeper Law”, when they explicitly want to stay the gatekeeper, even if unpaid.

But doesn’t store cleartext, does it?

Those have gotten rather expensive.

But maybe the 4 will become available and cheap now?

I mean Teslas marketing here is totally predatory, and imho this is where they should be severely punished.

once it became kinda publicly known that Teslas “Autopilot” doesn’t mean hands off driving, they changed to Full Self Driving ^capability

If you are relying on T&C as a get out of jail free card for your safety system, then it isn’t a safety system.

That’s how every safety system works.
You define the necessary conditions in which it works, and guarantee (with testing and validation) that in those conditions it does its job.
Nothing works unconditionally.

The Conditions in this case are in fact, that it is an assistance system, and not a safety system, because everybody knows it can’t be relied upon. It probably works >99% of times, which just isn’t (nearly) enough for driving.
