So? Donald Trump was registered as a Democrat from 2001 to 2009, although that was when Dubya was President so that makes sense.

Not with a tattoo gun, but yes, microneedle delivery is a new experimental way to deliver vaccines. It's less like a tattoo gun and more like a nicotine patch or a bandaid, though.

I'm always happy to see you no matter what, nospam007 !

Also: they have a superhuman AI, why don't they ask it to design better products to compete with Google? I've been told the world will end because the super sentient AIs are redesigning themselves and taking over any minute now......

But seriously, OpenAI doesn't need daily meetings and code red. They just need to prompt ChatGPT what to do. Are the employees so stupid that they can't even think of that? Pfft.

Okay. Thanks for all but admitting that exactly none of those needs are actually solved by the feature we're talking about.

You don't have a need. You just don't want your routine to be disrupted by a company taking away a feature that works for you. And it's entirely okay to feel that way. But it's not really a good reason to have designed such an overly complex and, at least in the real world, frequently under-performing protocol in the first place.

Keep telling yourself that I'm the one who doesn't understand the tech if it helps you sleep at night.

Then neither will casting, because casting by definition requires the TV to have Internet. It's a handoff process whereby the TV itself retrieves the content from the Netflix servers, and all your phone does is handle the authentication and key delivery plus playback controls.

You can do screen mirroring with a non-Internet-capable or disconnected TV, but not you can't use the ridiculously designed feature that I'm talking about.

So everything I'm saying is useless is useless for you, too.

What it means is very clear, especially since it's included in TFA's summary. Did you even bother to read the topic or did you just find an excuse to claim ML helps progress because AI?

When folded, the Z-flip is also about twice as thick as a non-folding Galaxy phone, but it's actually more comfortable in a front pants pocket if you climb stairs often enough.

I've experimented with this. It's because the tradeoff lets the folded phone slide around more freely (compared with a larger phone), and that's the key to comfort.

By the same argument, the Z-fold design combines the worst of both the regular, non-folding phones (namely their height is comparable to a pants pocket) and the extra thickness of the Z-flip.

This happened yesterday as well, you'd think they would learn.

That's not a gas station!

And it was as if a million people in the audience cried out at once.

And if that doesn't work, we'll appeal to an even higher authority.

It's already in the works.

The Pope is technically infallible.

He has a direct wifi connection to the Invisible One In The Sky.

So when he gets put to the question, it will take a day, two tops, and he'll relay the Big Boy's exact wishes to the old girls.

Two and a half, if saturday's barbecue party in the Vatican's garden is particularly bangin'

I do a lot of browsing using Seamonkey, and that browser cannot handle some fairly recent changes to Javascript. Most Slashdot functions don't need them but the login process does. I logon there by moving the cursor just to the SE of the "Submit" button, then slowly North until my logon appears. After that I'm home free.

The article linked shows a painting depicting the battle of Sluys, what this article skips is that back then only the nobles were taken prisoner (because they could be ransomed), anyone else was killed. Going back to the main article, Geoffrey Chaucer is mentioned as a soldier and diplomat who had been ransomed back in 1359.

My latest pet peeve is when Siri violates basic privacy standards by compelling data collection that isn't necessary.

A couple of days ago, I asked it for a list of restaurants near a particular town where I would be in a couple of hours. Siri immediately told me I had to enable location services for that query. What? Why? My query didn't ask for a list of restaurants near me. I asked for a list of restaurants near a different town, and more to the point, I gave both the name of the town and the state.

I attempted probably half a dozen different variations of that query, including things like avoiding the word "near", and Siri failed in the same way every single time, so this isn't just a one-off glitch specific to how I worded the query. It's a general problem with the way Siri handles queries that involve location.

This violates the first rule of location services, which is do not ask for the user's location unless you actually need the user's location. If the user is asking for restaurants in Panama City, Florida, Siri does NOT need to know that the user is currently in Charleston, South Carolina. It's none of Siri's d**n business. And more to the point, if Siri actually tried to do literally anything with that location data, it would be pretty much guaranteed to reduce the quality of the results rather than increase it, so having the data is just an invitation for any AI that might be involved to do something utterly stupid.

And you've done nothing to explain what the use case is. As far as I can tell, the use case is "Someone who wants to use their phone to control the TV instead of the TV remote," which is a tremendous amount of technological overhead for such a negligible benefit.

It's way easier to point your camera at the screen and do an instant sign-in on the TV than it is to get your phone connected to the right Wi-Fi network and cast to the right TV, so the use case would have to be pretty compelling to make up for what a pain in the a** it is when it works, much less when it doesn't.

Major correction here: about something that I have tried to use on many, many occasions, but never used successfully. There's a difference.

You won't read or engage further because you don't actually know any compelling reason to use it. If you did, you would have said what that reason was by now.
