You don't need to "buy into the idea". There's whole youtube channels dedicated to people harassing women and running around with hidden cameras in the process to show their followers "How to pick up girls" and shit like that.

It's common enough that there are multiple laws covering this in pretty much all western jurisdictions each targeting specific acts and ways and locations where it is done. Many jurisdictions have laws governing repeat offenders too. Additionally a very large number of actual sexual assault cases are associated with stalking as a start and also include charges of voyeurism.

It's much harder to hide a cell phone compared to someone who doesn't suspect a camera hidden in glasses. And no the glasses aren't immediately obvious to everyone. We on Slashdot may have seen them multiple times with multiple stories, but for the most part people have no idea about them, and those that do know about them will likely have heard stories about how "safe" they are for privacy with recording LEDs etc.

I remind you that this kind of perverted bullshit is so prevalent that Meta had to implement detection systems to identify if the LEDs had been tampered with.

"We, as a society" are full of harassing fucks.

What on earth makes you think that hasn't already happened? You think that's a human you're talking to now? A human so insecure in their convictions they want to be anonymous and can't even bare the thought of being associated with a pseudonym?

Based on what? What makes something wrong or right in production providing the toolkit works and exists to allow it to be widely adopted and mass produced, and the end goal of the device is achieved?

I've seen similar complaints before: "Arduino has no place in production, it's too heavy on flash for microcontrollers, blah blah blah blah". Yet it too does the job, and does in fact get used in some production cases as well.

If you want to gatekeep, fine. Justify your position with points specifically relevant to production. Let's hear it.

So completely off topic and irrelevant post then? Got it.

False. Not all products meet a demand. In fact the vast majority of novel products actually create the demand in the first place. There is zero demand for Python on a microcontroller. But that doesn't mean it's not a good idea, and that on release of the product it will become adopted. Take for example the Arduino platform. There was no demand for a simplified abstracted C API for Atmel microcontrollers, ... until someone made it. The idea created the demand.

Not every feature presents an attack surface, even more so "remotely". Also you're dealing entirely in theoreticals. My theoretical is I suspect you likely are complaining about Firefox while having piss poor security practices yourself. You have far bigger things to worry about.

Saying nah-ah isn't being clever, it's just cementing your ignorance. Fissile material for bombs isn't made from commercial reactors. There's a difference between "reactor-grade" plutonium and "weapons-grade" plutonium. The plutonium that is generated in a commercial reactor is heavily contaminated and incredibly difficult to separate from spent fuel rods. It's simply not done for military purposes anywhere other than one waste reprocessing plant in France, and there were talks about shutting that one down due to its cost.

All nuclear power use special reactors are run to create weapons grade plutonium. They aren't used for power production in any meaningful way as they can only run them a couple of weeks at a time between shutdowns and removal of rods.

Being ignorant doesn't mean someone is "lying" to you. You can use the opportunity to educate yourself, or continue to look like a moron in public.

Why? JPEG 2000 is as rare as hens teeth. It's not actively used by anything other than some extreme niches, has a complicated spec, and frankly was well and truly surpassed as an image format. Heck the only reason anyone is talking about JPEGXL is because PDF/A is planning to adopt it in an upcoming spec, and browsers have integrated PDF readers.

No. Chrome explicitly dropped JPEG-XL. Both are now (re-)implementing it as it will be required for standards compliance of the internal PDF reader as JPEG-XL is going to become the standard compression format in future PDF versions.

Aside from the actual reason mentioned there's multiple "eXtra Large" aspects to this format.

- It supports more bits per pixel than JPEG (which is very important since we've had a use case for high bitdepth images for decades now).
- It supports larger image sizes than JPEG (JPEG is limited to 65535x65535 which is only 4.225 gigapixels if your image is square - trivially hit with panoramic photography. JPEGXL supports 1.12 exapixels which is very large).
- It supports more channels than JPEG (4100, vs ... 3)
- It has a larger specification document too :-)

I still have no idea what you're talking about. I've not been harassed by updates in any recent memory. They just apply on next launch silently. As Jobs would say, you aren't updating it right.

What are you talking about? Breadboards are used both in education, hobbyist, and professional environments for variable prototyping where possible due to their flexibility. The only time they aren't used is if a specific design doesn't function on breadboards (high speeds, high currents, noise, etc). Breadboards have nothing to do with being a training tool nor have they anything to do with cost.

Once again showing the world you guess and bullshit with authority while not doing the bare minimum to educate yourself. Or do you think 4MB is 20% of 84MB?

If you're going to "help" someone, be right for a change. The screwed up symbol was the multiplication symbol. It's 20x less, or 5% of the original memory use. Stop spreading your ignorance.

I remember it was a Shakespeare play. "full of sound and fury. Signifying nothing"

If features that don't impact you and you can ignore while browsing impact you it's not a dedicated mode you need, it's ADHD medication.
