Don't do yourself down. I think you hit "too much" pretty much dead-centre.

ZX80 at home. Sharp MZ80K at school, some time around 1980. Still coding, now in Elixir mainly.
Likewise. Plus up here in not-very-northern Canada (BC Sea to Sky corridor), next day is really best-endeavour, and if they use BNI then it's "who knows?"
Framework, not Foundation, doh.
Devil: you have never, in 30 years of laptop ownership, upgraded components or had RAM fail. You like thin and light, as long as performance doesn't suffer. RAM shortage wasn't the reason to change the machine - CPU speed/architecture and display technology improvements were and they really can't easily be upgraded. Last three machines all had the same amount of RAM.
Angel: but things should be repairable and upgradeable, just because.
Angel doesn't stand a chance. Maybe some buyers of vintage gear will one day lament not being able to upgrade a 2024 Dell laptop. Maybe some people have bad luck with RAM. My statistical universe says wiring in stuff works well for my tastes. YMMV, buy a Foundation, keep your existing upgradeable machine going for more years, or build your own.
First UK firms complain about TikTok ban being devastating and now this. My luthier is going to be busy.
If your call centre is populated by poorly-trained people reading from a script then yes, it is amenable to being converted to an AI. And if your business model depends on dopamine-hit dependent youngsters endlessly swiping then you were always going to have problems eventually.
Sorry for the individuals concerned, obviously. But "devastating"?
In a not-very-shocking turn of events, Microsoft seem to make several reasonable points about a piece of software in a measured way. There's almost nothing to see here, move along (after registering the mildest of surprise).
The 50s are calling, they want their lazy journalism back.
if RND(1) can return 1, then the poked byte could be 256. But I could be wrong, it's Saturday and my mind's not in code-mode.
This summary just seemed to go on for ages compared to other stories. As I said, not important.
Just me, or should a summary actually be a summary, with a link to a story we can read if we want, rather than a verbatim quote of pages of text?
Wired articles are always so flowery, there's plenty of scope for cutting it down to a paragraph and letting us get on with our lives.

From the first link I found when I searched for "how does iphone face detection work":
Face ID uses a "TrueDepth camera system", which consists of sensors, cameras, and a dot projector at the top of the iPhone display in the notch to create a detailed 3D map of your face
Hence my comment. Accessing a site is cool and all, but five hours is a little too much to play "I wonder what this does?"
It's been a while, probably not just us, but the demo site is brought to you by 2001-era servers.
