The cable lobby loves to bring up rural areas but when we gave them millions to build out they just took the money, said fuck it and did jack shit. I'm beginning to think that they prefer to under serve those areas and then use that as a bargaining chip to get everything they want.

This is disappointing. Due to Kagi requiring an account and billing I would say transparency should be vitally important for a them since privacy concerns are going to be a large reason a lot of people are looking to switch from Google in the first place. It's always a concern brought up when search alternatives are discussed in forums and the "just trust me BRO" is going to start to ring kind of hollow if they play little games like this.

Surprising that Trump would select a peice of shit that shares his views.

Not very bright, the tickets have barcodes that need to be scanned to validate whether the ticket is a winner. No chance this would ever work even if the ticket didn't look like shit.

Jesus that website needs to die, it's such a rude and petty way to respond to someone. As if asking what some obscure acronym means on a discussion forum is such an outlandish thing.

While this may be concerning from an ewaste standpoint, don't worry! Samsung has that covered. For anyone that elected to get a new phone instead of replacing a simple part Samsung has had the courage to not include a charging brick which slightly decreases the size of the box. Customers that need a charging brick can aquire one through a separate expensive purchase that comes in another box shipped on a different cargo ship from china. Samsung is super duper into being green.

Dude won the pillow lottery and could have coasted through the rest of his life all of us could only dream of. But then he had to open his mouth and take it to 11.

Small tip for you folks that somehow make it big selling shit to the public. Whether you're right or left, best to keep it to yourself publicly. Certainly don't go all in on an idiot that sprays Cheeto dust all over his face and does who fucking knows what to his hair.

Fitbit was doomed the second Google bought it. It will slowly get less supported and eventually canceled. It's a shame because I liked Fitbit and I'd hate for smartwatches to end up in the duopoly we have with phones.

Satellite messaging is already available in Android 15 beta

Perhaps in software, but I don't think there is a current phone that has the hardware to take advantage. For now, this is essentially an Apple only feature. It's a pretty good bet we are going to see some flagships released with it in the next year though.

Read the article, they cover it in the article.

Well, it covered every point from the article. So that's good.

The National Federation of Independent Business has opposed mandatory sick leave rules at the state level, arguing that workplaces should have the flexibility to work something out with their employees when they get sick.

What a dishonest statement. They know the burden put on the employee and that a great many of them are forcing themselves to work sick because they don't really have the option. If employers were flexible with the employees we wouldn't be in this position.

The group said the cost of paying workers for time off, extra paperwork, and lost productivity burdens small employers.

Oh yes, let's not treat a person with decency because God forbid there is some extra paperwork to fill out.

Funny you should mention that

Why an engineer would use a "learning algorithm" rather than just use a "never crush something" is beyond me. So poorly designed.

Plus you could use it to drop down the notification window with a gesture. It was handy.

Sure that was my initial impression too, but I think I am going to sleep on it and maybe take some polls or study the matter more deeply. Can't be too rash when judging someone for tossing a baby out of a window.

LLM is AI correct? If my phone is going to do AI at all, I prefer it be done on device for sure. For privacy reasons if nothing else. But it's not anything I've really looked into. I have the S24 and the only AI feature I use is the Circle to search... which I don't consider to be AI.

Maybe. In the past they have always been able to rely on their dominance in the PC market. With consumers shifting away from this, I don't think it's so straight forward and in other emerging markets like AI they are way behind.

At least they are finally putting actual money into R&D. This article was a really good read. Will be interesting to see how and if Intels investments pay off.

I liked my fold 3 but the screen protector was a pain in the ass especially since I live in a rural area. The closest place that could install new ones was 3 hours away. I attempted it twice and they had bubbles both times. A friend just removed her protector and 3 months later she had the black line going down the center of the screen. Foldables just seem a little too fragile to me.

Also was kind of annoying because websites and apps would detect the wider screen and add a column down the side of the screen - featuring ads usually. Kind of a kick in the nuts to spend $1500 for a larger screen just to get more ads.

That said, I kind of miss being able to run split screen with apps. It was handy to keep a messaging app on the right side of the screen while I browsed the web on the other.

Oh the ironing, lol.

Yes, so much ironing going on in that quote.

Don't be evil.

I'm sure if you volunteered, they give you the night shift every day if you want

Not in my case. In the part of the interview where they got to the rotating schedule I asked if I could just do graveyard and they refused. Said they wanted to have management work with all employees or some bullshit. I think they were using it to get around overtime though.

And its still evil to push the rotating schedule bullshit on your employees to get out of premium pay.

It's like the 4th amendment has no meaning at all.

The amount of work he is putting into this is really impressive. Being from the US it kind of sucks to see his play out in every country but ours. Is 'merica just a lost cause or is there something else we can do here?

Early Netflix was pretty close.

Oh man, I hate trump but it's pretty obviously a joke.

I am fucking sick of monthly subs... Happily pay for kagi. It's really great at just getting you the results you need sorted right at the top.

From the late 80's, PB Max

Fucking GREAT candy bar killed off because apparently the Mars family doesn't like peanut butter.

He could always show his followers the diaper that he filled up.

As a resident in a pretty rural area you might want to avoid moving to rural areas due to increased cancer rates due to pesticide use and poor water conditions. But don't you worry about our poor corporations that are wrecking shit, our lovely governer passed legislation that prevents people from suing them. though her and the corporations assure us there is nothing to worry about. They pinky sweared and everything.

Most banks probably are not going to write off many student loans. They can pretty much go after it for life and the loans usually cannot be discharged.

Lawyer not even necessary in some areas, can just contact department of labor and they will go after them.

Don't know how I feel about this. I already get sick of the security prompts every three days to manually enter my passcode. If Google starts just deleting them and making me redo them might just fucking go back to the passcode. Hope it's optional or it at least prompts you before deleting an old one. Not really trusting Google get it right.

Looks like a white bathing suit to me.

Our testicles too!

The comment is worded poorly, but it's not bad advise. Being open source they can take a look at the code as an example, or could take it and fork it to meet what they are looking for.

If you have a Samsung phone (and in an approved region) you can do this by downloading good lock and installing the home up module. I have mine set to a vertical list and its so much better.

Force the creator to flag the sponsor section and then filter it out. Then compensate the creator for the view using the $17 premium subscription.

Well your leaving window ME out of that list which came right after 98SE and is widely considered a turd. I also wouldn't put 2000 in with them as it was an operating system designed for business use while the other 2 were consumer oriented.

95, 98, 98SE might be a pretty decent stretch though. NT4, 2000, and XP could be a good stretch on the business side. If you ignore NT4's poor driver support.

On android, you can probably use hermit to approximate an app. It takes web pages and puts them in. Sand boxed app. I find it works pretty well for lot of websites.

I had one and it definitely beeped if the light turned yellow and I stopped rather than blowing through a red light. It was a frustrating experience because it would happen even when driving a safe speed. You don't get dinged unless you have too many of them, but I suspect in a busy city with stop and go traffic it could be tough. I did end up. With the maximum discount though so it didn't end up being a big deal.
