iPhones are the only the biggest by market share in very rich countries like the nordics, US, UK and a few others, with a bias towards anglophone countries I'd say. https://deviceatlas.com/blog/android-v-ios-market-share

This is probably the most braindead take I've seen in a while. Fuck cars but this dude is presenting it as if Satan himself was in the cargo hold.

They're not depending on it I'm pretty sure? This is just something Google offers but that this time didn't work.

I would expect the government to have, or at least plan to implement an independent system like in the US or many other countries where the government can push you warnings. It's getting implemented in Croatia right now, but doesn't seem to work yet.

I was joking because you wrote "unsurance" instead of "insurance"

That guy is making me question my sexuality

I'm guessing life unsurance would just be euthanasia. Or would they pay you if you survived for longer than expected?

Damn this is incredibly convenient, I was just playing around trying to setup a home server the past few days and this was exactly what I've been looking for.

What the other guy said. It's down to the fact that you aren't actually heating/cooling down a room, you're just moving the heat already there around. E.g. in winter, instead of producing your own heat with electricity, which is 100% efficient, you take heat from the outside and put it inside, using a lot less energy in the process than if you were to create the heat inside of your home.

Though I'm not sure if it's that efficient, I think I heard it's more around the 150-200% mark, but I'm not sure.

Well a significant difference is that this increases humidity, while normal AC decreases it.

This is a non-argument. The fact the website is shit has nothing to do with the fact that ads are the payment method. If you don't like the site, don't use it. Nobody is forcing you.

If you saw a product in the store that costs double another equal product, would you go scream at the manager that this is outrageous? Or would you just buy the cheaper one and let the more expensive one go out of business.

Yes, an ad blocker would make the site more usable, but so would just taking the product without paying.

What? No. Their product is the website. It's like you come into a store, and just take the newspaper without paying.

I'm amazed at how angry people are at ads. I agree that this change would be terrible purely because of the customization thing, but people at some point are going to have to realise that there is no such thing as free lunch. You're using their service/web site, they say you have to pay by watching ads and thats the deal you have. If you don't like it, don't use it, because if ads weren't a thing, the whole internet would be paywalled (apart from the sites people host from their own cash/donations). The internet and big tech has for so long taken the stance to grow fast make money later, but many never do. I feel like the time of reckoning is soon upon a large part of the internet, where if they don't make money, they'll vanish.

Edit: just so I clear it up before anybody starts yelling at me about it, I am very much against this change for multiple reasons, but it's just that it triggered me to see so many people attacking the wrong thing. We've just become spoiled by unsustainable startup practices and have lost touch with reality.

I love how his second response can also be true even if he is a robot.

At this point idk if it's exceeding their expectations, they just literally don't have enough money to invest into more production yet.

Hopefully that problem will become more and more alleviated as they sell more and more devices.

It could be useful if somebody somehow finds out their password, e.g. by shoulder surfing or perhas some other way.

Then their attack window is much more limited.

Mass Effect

I mean he literally said "Habits are things they automatically do, without thinking. They don't have to decide to do them."

That's not true, everybody has to think about whether they're going to start some activity or not, muscle memory helps with e.g. driving so you don't need to think about how much to press the pedal or turn the wheel when driving, but you still have to think about where you're going (though I guess that can be relatively automatic by itself if it's somewhere where you regularly go).

What I'm guessing might be a difference is that for other people it's easier to start the activity itself because they feel an urge to do it, like they're doing something bad if they don't or that they feel their teeth being dirty if they don't brush them.

2027 is actually pretty early for such a dramatic change, and somewhere I heard that it's all phones sold, if that's the case (i.e. you can't sell old models if they don't have easily replaceable batteries) than that is a really early date for such a law.

They finally updated the calendar so it doesn't look like it's out of windows 95? Thank god. I really wanna use it now but I'm too tied down to Outlook now. I guess I'll try to migrate.

If it had a mobile app it would make it much easier. The Outlook mobile app is really good.

I mean, I'm pretty sure that for an XSS attack that's fine. The entire problem is that somebody posts e.g. a comment that contains code that is automatically run in users' browsers. If you make the front end just not execute that code then it's fine. Who cares what's stored in the back end?

I mean, it would still be better to have multiple fail-safes, and they probably should still sanitize text entering the database.

But this is sufficient for a quick fix.
