No, "most valuable" is accurate here, since we're talking about its market cap (value of all shares combined essentially). "Wealthiest" would refer to the company's total assets.

It's the sad state of democracy in all electorates that use demonstrably shitty voting systems like first past the post. Because those force you to vote strategically.

That's one way to see it. Another is that empathy is all that's needed for good, but ideology can be used to manipulate people such that their empathy for a certain group is suppressed.

For sure, my point is just that they could if it made sense — so clearly they don't think it does, at least for now.

Tbh I find it hard to believe that it's actually better, knowing how many resources Google probably poured into getting the summaries right already. If the same amount of scrutiny were applied to Kagi's summaries, people would probably find similarly embarrassing answers.

I mean... It's 100% the same here on Lemmy as well

It was most likely HP, through Windows Update (which handles device-specific driver etc. updates that OEMs are in control of). Microsoft doesn't concern itself with pushing BIOS updates to some random 4-year old HP model

Assign a DNS name

If they wanted to companies could put a camera in a smart watch easily. Samsung was doing it ages ago.

... Yes. Many AAA games this generation can run at native 4K on Series X and PS5, but in most games with demanding graphics you have to choose between that with a 30-40 FPS target, or 1440p and 60-120 FPS with VRR.

Does it though? Having it pull down your shirt, having to rely on projecting a GUI on your hand, and being unable to hear it in loud environments all seem like pretty strong limitations of the form factor

You totally are getting closeups of faces though in all of these games. In cutscenes, but still.

Where do you download them from?

That's not true, M1 Pro and Max MacBooks both support dual external monitors.

The scaling and lack of available resolution problems is very real though. If you have monitors with a slightly non-standard resolution, you basically need third party software like SwitchResX, which is pretty stupid considering Windows has no problems like this at all.

If you read the original report, it says that it basically just displays a fake banking login page. It also says that it requested accessibility service permissions, which makes me think maybe it brought up the fake login pages "in the right moment" (as in as users opened their banking apps) to make it more convincing, even though the article doesn't specify that.

Either way, IMO the problem here is clearly with the Play Store allowing this app in, and not with Android's security itself. These apps are misusing the accessibility service system, which is obviously necessary for a ton of important use cases (and of course also requires the user to grant very explicit permission). The fact that the accessibility services are a thing doesn't delegitimize Android's security improvements over the years.

Physically? So the dev has to come ask you in person?

How is this a meme?

Some fake Telekom workers showed up at my grandma's place in person recently, wearing uniforms and all, saying they need to "perform maintenance on the TV connection". Luckily, grandma's still super sharp, recognized that something was off, and just shouted "Peter, the TV people are here" into her flat, even though she was alone and Peter had died decades ago. They made some excuses and left immediately when they thought they were no longer just prying on a single brittle old lady.

Super proud of her, but also so scary to think that a bunch of asshole scammers were so close to just walking around in her flat.

Stop saying Cohen got convicted for the exact same crime! It's misinformation. They both got a completely different set of counts.

I see this point a lot and I don't get it at all. You can do something awesome, free and open-source but use tools that aren't, especially when we're talking about community building. Sure, you can do your outreach exclusively on Mastodon or Farcaster, but the most eyes just happen to be on closed platforms, so it'd just be self-sabotage. Doing the only thing that makes sense doesn't make you a hypocrite.
