I'm in the same boat, Kinoite (or rather my own blue build of it) killed my distro-hopping. But fans of Arch might be interested in the upcoming immutable arch-based OS: BlendOS

Up voted for the well played irony!

The acceleration from gravity would be the same no matter the object mass (~9.8m/s²).

While English is most of the time the lowest common denominator, I love to see some variety!

Not taking a position on this, but I could see a comparison with doing an electron scan of a painting. The scan would take an insane amount of storage while the (albeit ultra high definition) picture would fit on a Blu-ray.

I don't have anything to add, but I wanted to thank you, OP, for the comments/links in the thread.

I don't see why not. Storing a count is not so complex and the animal kingdom is filled with impressive (to our perception) mental feats* (like the dedicated neurones for each octopus tentacles).

Ironically, I find the act of following a pheromone trail counting steps way simpler than them having detailed mappings of their surroundings.

Edit: fears -> feats

Indeed, and would you like to take a guess what % of Android user just accepts it as it is?

Quick guess from me would be permission to use the camera(s) and if they have some kind of file picker or gallery, permission to access all media files from your phone (and older versions of Android did not have this "media"distinction, so they would give access to all user files (excluding sandboxed paths)

"us"

Same here in Quebec (but I don't know if it's a Canada thing), the title of engineer is reserved to folks who completed an engineering degree.

Just replace social score with credit score and voila.

I've known some guys that are working for one of those "Financial data brokers" like the one Mint uses.

I thought that there was something fancy to actually link your bank account and whatever budgeting app you want to use, like some Oauth or API token...

In reality, you basically give your (plaintext) credentials to this entity which then uses them to open a session with your bank and parse the webpage. If there was some MFA used it forwarded the request back to you and if there was some robot check blocking the connection, they would have employees take control of the session and do the physical clicking on the webpage...

Not saying that all Fin data brokers work like that, but I can confirm that's the way one of the major ones did work internally 4-5 years back .

Thank you for sharing.

You go first.

Lift the sanctions, but please keep prohibiting US American tourism. This is one of the few "close by" (for me in Quebec) vacation place that still has a different vibe.

If the pictures are from the same origin (like if your camera was on a tripod) you could use astronomy software (look for image stacking) to denoise and attain a better image quality.

You can absolutely install it on a USB drive.

But to do so, you need to boot up the installer and proceed with the installation process from your (other) USB drive. AFAIK there is no live+persistent mode on the official ISOs.

IIRC, when you think about words, you also emit weak signals to your face like if you were actually pronouncing those words, but too weak to actually activate your muscles..

This device would pick up those signals.

EDIT: not saying this thing works, but the principle is valid.

While I have no idea how much a computerized vending machine costs, I found this article about a age/gender classifier that runs on a Raspberry Pi 4.

Looking at the machine's big touchscreen, I think this classifier would fit on the SBC or require a relatively small upgrade.
