It should also hit hard to idiots that imagined Apple would drop the planet's third biggest market of Apple phones because of some privacy/rights concerns.

No they won't.

You seem to be ignorant of science and the scientific method.

"Ink" isn't a single thing with tattoos. It is stupidity to claim "ink" does this and "ink" does that or that "ink" migrates anywhere. A scientist would do a real study and say for example 'argan oil based titanium dioxide pigmented ink" migrates in the body to lymph nodes.

Your "study" was by unscientific wanna-bees.

I was replying to person concerned about rodents used in lab testing, mice.

but there you go, getting triggered about your phobias and going apeshit.

it means samsung's phone spell correction wins over English, sperg-boy.

Linguists call them "radicals". bÃjiÃn is what the Chinese call them, and I can't wait to see what Slashdot's ancient code does with that when I hit "submit"

lolz, good luck getting the code that runs the site now. Slashcode's last commit was 17 years ago

At work copilot spies on all the the work the PC and laptop do, bogging them down and offering bizzare avant garde prose.

"Use ai for everything" said the new CIO, and within two months the email, documentation, meeting agendas, plans became vague AI spew without meaning. The over a million customers started complaining about the ai hallucinations offered up by the helpdesk.

Good times. I'll probably leave.

Only 600 or so primatives make up the written languages derived from the Chinese "bone script", and only a few primatives make up 99% the characters. A rule based system could make quick work of rendering the five thousand or so logographics in common use from the primatives. We have the cpu cycles for it now.

Japanese can be written using Romanji, already a solved problem.

All Japanese high school students study English anyway.

So, we already live in that world.

Why do well fed and comfortable people care about vermin so much?

You're funny, most people don't have tattoos. somewhat less than a third.

Generally people with poor self-image graffiti their body permanently.

no we haven't. Oil or water base? which pigments? organic or inorganic? The types of ink are numerous!

Making blanket statements without scientific tests of each type of ink is meaningless, junk science.

there are many types of tattoo inks with various bases and a multitude of pigment chemicals. To make blanket statements about " a tattoo" causing a particular list of problems is as silly as saying "food coloring causes stomach cancer" without specifying which one.

he's a booze hound though, controlling for that is hard

"the right thing" has nothing to do with carelessly unleashes dogs running into traffic. *yawn* no problem here

those other devices are largely irrelevant now in 2025, you'd need a study in 1960, 1970, 1980, etc. to disprove TV was just as bad. Having been alive back then, I can assure you some kids were big fat depressed couch potatoes glued to the tv, not playing outside
