Ooo I haven’t heard of Ulefone before, I see some of their phones have a built in thermal camera? That sounds cool. How’s the Android/software experience? I’m not familiar with the Chinese phone lines, do they have their own bloat like Samsung?
I’ve heard good things about Graphene OS, but also deviating from the “stock” experience might make it more difficult to do certain things… like biometrics for banking or something? Not sure myself. Will look into it too, good idea.
The software bloat is not dissimilar to what I’ve heard in the past, but I’d forgotten since I haven’t gone in depth researching yet. Which phones do we prefer today? Loosely off the top of my head, less bloat/intrusiveness, nice camera, battery life enough for a day, and maybe on the smaller size to fit one hand are probably what I’ll be looking in to.
I was considering a new Samsung phone - is that baked into it? (Assuming you’re talking Samsung anyway, based on the galaxy name)
I think !reddit just sends you directly to reddit and uses reddit’s search engine, which has been infamously bad. Has that changed? It doesn’t seem to be quite the same as appending “reddit” to queries to search for reddit posts, but using better search engines.
That’s a good point, it’s probably way less load and overhead if Reddit and Google just sent info back and forth instead of scraping. Good way for Google to keep their spot as the favoured search engine and beat the competition too, since everything that comes up these days are articles full of SEO nonsense at best, then AI generated nonsense at worst. If nobody else can read the actual human responses, Google has a huge leg up. Also interesting to see that Google’s honouring the txt file even when nobody’s holding them to it.
I had no idea Twitter’s search updated their index immediately after a comment is posted though. That’s a lot of updates considering the amount of posts they get daily.
iirc, isn’t robots.txt more of a gentlemen’s agreement? I vaguely recall bots being able to crawl a site regardless, it’s just that most devs respect robots.txt and don’t. Could be wrong though, happy to be corrected.
I was told to warm them up to get the last bits of juice out of them while camping. Wonder which it is?
Tetris with touch controls is not my favourite way to enjoy Tetris though
Tbh, I just like that mobile app watching is free instead of paywalled
It’s not about completely preventing infection, you can still get infected. It’s about minimizing the odds of infection and lowering severity when infected, to mitigate transmission as much as possible. It’s more about society as a collective and less about the individual. You can ride it out, sure. But if you pass it along to someone who can’t, then what?
Very neat, I wonder how effective they are at confusing facial recognition and 3D facial scanning systems? Not that we often encounter the 3D scanning, but an interesting aspect to consider.
I’m completely uneducated in this field, but there’s a 2 min video attached to that page that demonstrates before and after. Sure sounded better to me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Doesn’t that defeat the purpose of the questions though, if you were to forget your password? I answer with nonsense too, just keep it in my password manager or write it down somewhere.
That is crazy, are there more clips or compilations? I’m just finding out about it through this post
duckduckgo does that with @duck.com email addresses too, I’ve liked using them so far
That’s pretty funny, was ordering a smile actually a thing? What happens?
Share your incantations! Here’s one of mine: https://www.summarize.tech/. Uses AI to generate summaries of youtube videos. Pretty handy when you see someone reporting on the latest news but they tend to rant and ramble a lot. Turns 20mins into one or two!
Ethical cheating? Nice. I can get behind that.
