apparently, Samsung's foldables (at least not the first gen) do not wear over time at the folding point. I was surprised, but a friend of mine has been using one for over three years now.

Well, I wouldn't trust a screwdriver to plant a nail. Not because the screwdriver is "untrustworthy", but because it's the wrong tool for the job.

Same here. If you don't want buffer overflows and threading issues, C++ is a pretty poor choice for the job. Rust was designed to address precisely these kinds of problems.

So... they didn't trust C++ for this job.

I'm using webp for all my images needs these days.

My point being that when you wrote "There's no GPS in my PC, idiots", the fact that there are no GPS does not mean your PC cannot locate you, and thus the popup could still be relevant.

Now is it annoying like hell? Heck yes. Not my point at all.

Regarding location data, even on a laptop or a desktop, an imprecise location can be deducted from wifi triangulation. You still need wifi though which is present on all laptops and many desktops sold these days. Or can be added with a USB wifi adapter.

The president has immunity. And he can (probably) pardon himself. We'll see what happens after his second term.

There are moving parts in all the cameras, you know, for being abot to focus.

AI cannot extrapolate, per construction. They can interpolate better than anyone, but as soon as you leave its dataset, it has no clue anymore.

You can feed the best AI a trillion photos of cats, if none of them included a black cat, it will be fundamentally unable to tell you that a picture of a black cat contains a cat.

The illusion that it can extrapolate comes from the fact that these models are fed with humongous amounts of data, so even just interpolating is still mostly good enough as you won't go near the edge of the dataset.

Religion? Rust? What are you talking about.

Rust is a programming language. It is groundbreaking in that it offers one feature that no other language has: It can guarantee thread safety.

In thew modern world of multi core everything, even on phones, it it a pretty big deal.

There is no religion involved.

Servo was meant to be groundbreaking. It builds a rendering engine which is multithreaded.
None of the competition have that. And since virtually all clients have many many cores, this holds the promise of being many times faster than anything existing right now.

Mozilla invented Rust specifically for this. They started rewriting Gecko in Rust and alas, pursuing bells ans whistles, they ended up dumping the project.

What a bunch of morons.

Well, you have to get rid of the extra electricity. That's one more problem to handle.

What about a lawyer who won their first case and then immediately changed profession — would that qualify?

Still no. They are required to make their modified version available under the same LGPL license to the people they distribute their product to

If you use it for internal purposes to your company, you are not required to do anything.

Well, that's already the case. You cannot start an identifer with a "number" in many languages (C included). A "number" is an arbitrarily defined subset of all glyphs. Also, one might not use a "whitespace" in an identifier. Guess what a "whitespace" is? An arbitrarily defined subset of all glyphs.

So what you are describing as utter nonsense is exactly what is going on under the scene right now with pretty much all languages.
