That’s probably true, but it sure can be hard to motivate yourself to do things yourself when that AI dice roll is right there to give you an immediate dopamine hit. I’m starting to see things like vibecoding being as addictive as gambling.
Personally I don’t use AI because I see all the subtle ways it’s wrong when programming, and the more I pay attention to things like AI search results, it seems like there’s almost always something misrepresented or subtly incorrect in the output, and for any topics I’m not already fluent in, I likely won’t notice these things until it’s already causing issues

+ biometrics

This means you only enter the password when your phone restarts, you access specific settings, or I think one or two other rare cases. Personally I only need to enter my pin maybe once a week

That’s for breaking a bcrypt hash, and I don’t believe there’s any way to extract the pin hash from a phone since it happens inside a secure hardware layer (like a TPM). If it is possible, the attacker would most likely have to physically destroy your phone to get at it. To bruteforce a 4 digit pin with retry lockout timers, it takes 16 hours to try all combinations, according to a tool I found that auto-enters pins via usb keyboard emulation.

Sponsorblock works perfectly fine on Firefox Mobile

That’s unfortunate. Personally I can barely tell all the black rectangles apart. It’s a utility for me, not a fashion accessory. Maybe if it was, I’d have an iPhone

I used my last phone for about 4 years. At that point the battery life was getting worse, and the coating to prevent smudges and make your finger slide easily had worn off in the middle. Even then it’s still perfectly usable, I just wanted an upgrade and to get away from Samsung.

I don’t understand the people that upgrade every year or two. In the last 5 years basically the only new development has been higher refresh rate displays and faker looking (more processed) camera images…

Apparently there’s some open source designs for a sim card module already. Idk if Framework is planning on making their own though. https://github.com/Zokhoi/framework-cellular-card

1. The domain name has no effect on spam filters, it’s all about which server is sending it and if the domain is properly configured with MX records, DKIM signing keys, etc… A custom domain with mail sent from a major mail provider won’t get sent to spam any more than a new gmail account.
2. Mailboxes for a custom domain work exactly the same as any other email. There is no forwarding to another mailbox or provider unless you configure it to be that way. You should be pretty careful with what settings the mail server is configured with though, because encryption is optional…

… Didn’t the EU JUST fine Apple half a billion euros over the same thing?

How are they going to enforce this? Is side loading getting some extra signing step only Google can provide?

I shouldn’t need to go through Google at all to release an Android app if it’s not on their store. This is bullshit

Tbh, I kind of just thought people were uploading worse quality videos to Shorts, or people’s phones were doing some bullshit smoothing filter. I didn’t realize it until I watched a creator I know who wouldn’t upload such an uncanny video filter.

YouTube doing this without telling anyone is kinda crazy. There’s a few people who’ve been complaining their own shorts don’t even look like them

From what I’ve heard this mostly happens on YT Shorts, and the AI upscaling they’re doing is making people look like plastic and uncanny as hell.
I haven’t noticed on normal videos, since that’s pretty much all I watch.

lol, what an insane idea…
A physical cable back to Earth is impossible, otherwise we’d already have space elevators.
Any other wireless transmission would have all the same weather problems and energy losses, it would be WAY cheaper to just build more solar panels on the ground.

I think you’re missing the point this article is trying to make… It’s not an advertisement for Flipper Zero, it’s a scare piece implying the devices’ existence is bad

Weren’t Kia Boys stealing cars with literally just a USB cable since it physically fit to turn the ignition behind the key cylinder?
That doesn’t require buying a special device, it was mostly crimes of convenience. I doubt the Flipper Zero will ever get that widespread.

That’s not ~600 Megawatts, it’s 587 Megawatt-hours.

Or in other terms that are maybe easier to understand: 5875 fully charged 100kWh Tesla batteries.

A Megawatt is a unit of power not energy. It means nothing without including the duration, like Megawatt-hours

Still $10m… ffs. Nobody needs $1B

Just because they stopped selling it doesn’t mean it’s free. The only legal way to aquire MacOS is to buy an Apple product, or somehow get an upgrade from one of those old paid versions (which since this happens through the App Store now, you still need an Apple product).

Windows is also not free even though you can download the iso. There’s license terms

The last version of MacOS I used was $130 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mac_OS_X_Tiger
