HP is reportedly one of the companies that Humane was in talks with over a potential sale

They didn’t learn the lesson with webos? They lost billions even if that was a good os with good phones.

Can’t imagine anyone wanting to buy this company for more than 1million and that’s just because of patents and devs (acquihire - where the buyer is only interested in ip and devs and doesn’t care at all about the actual product)

I’m also be seeking for a 1 billion payout

At least my product is working as intended

Wasn’t panda buy also recently targeted by a joint investigation from Nike and the Chinese government which led to the seizure of many warehouses for counterfeited items?

You apple fanboys are exaggerating that. On the 2.5 billion android devices, 88% of them aren’t running the latest version and probably would never get it. Yet I don’t see any widespread hacking.

most of them if not all are mitigated by google play services. otherwise there would be 2 billion of infected android phones and there would be many alarmist posts like when ten years ago stagefright happened

Big difference: on android you can stay 6 version behind and you probably find any incompatible app during real life use. Browser and framework (google play services) continue to get updates

On iOS once your device stops getting updates it becomes ewaste as almost every app becomes incompatible after 1-2 years . Browser stops getting updates at all so your browsing experience will degrade fast

They changed it, in the beginning it was using the text and not ocr

For example this app could be set as assistant and get the raw text https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weberdo.apps.copy

But only the app set on system as assistant can do it

I was very disappointed when they changed it around 2018 as it produced garbage in my language when it was working so good…

Imagine how easy is the life of law enforcement now.

Before if they seized a laptop encrypted with bit locker they could not do anything.

Now they just need to ask Microsoft the encryption password, which is automatically and silently saved in the Microsoft account (now mandatory) and they can have all the history of what the subject of the investigation did in the past years

It happens the same on android for some reason

Like 5-8 years ago the google assistant app was able to select and copy text from any app when invoked, I think it was called “now on tap”. Then because they’re google and they’re contractually obligated to remove features after some time, they removed this from the google app and integrated it in the pixel app switcher (and who cares if 99% of android users aren’t using a pixel, they say). The new implementation sucks, as it does ocr instead of just accessing the raw text…

It only works fine with us English and not with other languages. But maybe it’s ok as it seems that google’s development style is us-centric

I remember that in the windows 9x age I tried taking screenshots of the matrix avi and all I got was a black rectangle. I assumed that it was how the graphics worked as when pasted in paint it would act like a “hole” where if you moved the window it stayed in the place of the video player. Like if it’s not in the graphic buffer because it’s an accelerated directx video or something like that. Not an expert and also more than 20 years passed and my memory is wonky

I’m not a programmer but is it normal that the login page contains the whole main JavaScript code of a logged in user?

Also, what’s the point of having this kind of client side api? Because you can never trust the client shouldn’t be everything server side and only return a html page with the data related to your account?

So it’s not a new feature. Since windows 95 print screen can’t screenshot videos for technical issues. Instead of fixing the bug they’re promoting it to feature

But my company with 20k employees use it. It's kind of interesting in our context

I wonder what we're going to do. Don't tell me that the reason that the MDM has installed MS teams on my work phone is related to this news...

Customer support at Google? Most you can get is a chat with a bot that doesn't recognize your account because it has been deleted

It pisses me to no one end when i think to all the trash factories. Items designed to look good for e-commerce but they are poorly designed and unusable. Directly to the landfill...

So that's incredibly stupid, lol if it crushes and cuts a carrot why couldn't do it with a finger

Save a few thousands for incorporation fees also some bs experience that you can use to boast to vc investors

Oh no I saw a video where it chopped a carrot without stopping

I don’t have the courage to click the link….

Tesla should pay the CEO that 56 billion bonus. It would immediately improve the situation

I especially hate how it ruins the df -h command. Install a dozen snaps and it becomes unreadable
