It's a great feature but what's weird is that "Live Translation with AirPods is not available if you are in the EU and your Apple Account Country or Region is also in the EU." https://support.apple.com/de-d...

This seems perfect for education. We give the students a Raspberry Pi, a breadboard, an SD card and an image. And we want to include some libraries on the image so they can play around with a couple of electronics components. This seems quite useful for that.

I have the feeling that these hardcovers are gifts. And like you said, if you buy it for yourself, you get the paperback because they're actually more compact, lighter etc.

Like you, I used to visit more frequently. I'm amazed it's still going. People used to blog here, too :-)

Believe it or not, but I wholeheartedly subscribe to this philosophy. Anyway I think I didn't explain well. The generated podcast would first start about "this region is beautiful, but I also think it's important to think about being responsible for nature". And then what happened, they didn't actually talk about what they DO, but instead would repeat variations of the theme. The sentences themselves would sound fine, but the whole conversation would actually be nonsense.

A friend of mine is building an app centered around hiking, a subject I'm mildly interested in. So he sent me a file called "podcast.mp3" without any comment, so I figured he found it interesting and wanted me to listen to it. So I did, and I thought to myself, what a weird conversation. They talked about this particular (existing) region, but they started droning on and on how it wasn't just about hiking but also being about responsible for nature. No sane person would talk like that, and when I figured out it was just AI vomit, I angrily messaged him back how he basically wasted my attention like that.

Technically it's a mild miracle. But the output is utter garbage, reurgitated chewed-up nonsense. Do not spend any minute of your time on this generated trash.

I knew Colorware offers painting your AirPods and I tried some to find skin colors, but I was a little disappointed. The only camouflaging color I could find, was some sort of matte pink: Colorware.com

Raising the price of beer is strictly the Freemasons' doing. Since Biden is in power, they've divvied up the pie with the Illuminati and several three-letter-agencies and got the beer pricing and the sex parties.

Happens here in The Netherlands as well. Lots of (maybe all?) lower and middle schools in The Netherlands will now be free of mobile phones, starting this school year.

I think it's very hard to gauge the state of the public chargers, from the outside. For a few weeks, you could drive past a couple and see if there are lines. But how can you get a feeling for whether they're reliable or not?

Interesting point, well taken.

Agreed, looking at the FMARS cylinder, this mission its habitat is very, very decent.

Massive? 1700 sqft (160 m2) seems small to me. That's as big as a decently-sized (for EU persons) house, except it includes a plot to grow vegetables for three persons, and a facility to print parts of the habitat. That last thing is the difference with the FMARS mission, I assume.

OK so you think it's funny? And that's really it? I get that there are more important things, but you don't appreciate someone scratching a puss-oozing scab on the skin of the government?

I read that all the time, like it happens everywhere. But that should only happen in markets where there's not enough competition, right?
