Incompatible taste in music. My taste is the benchmark they have to meet and I will not compromise, obviously.

Streaming is getting worse, but it's still way better than cable. Everything is on demand without having to fuss with a dvr, you can subscribe only to the services you want or rotate through them one at a time, and there are no contracts so you can cancel whenever you want.

Things could obviously be better, but we are nowhere close to how bad cable was/is.

I honestly never even considered that it was a slur. Sometimes you are having a discussion where gender identity is relevant, and in that situation it is useful to be able to clearly indicate that someone is cisgender.

See I just used it.

A lot of telling us how good AI is and how Google is the best at it. I got a little excited when they said Gemini is going to change how we use our phones and I thought they might be announcing some big AI-forward redesign of Android, but it was just 3 things they've already launched, haha.

Context aware Gemini looks neat though.

This article is the most I've heard about Foamstars since it was announced.

Top sku iPad pros with the keyboard case cost more than some MacBooks and people try and use them like MacBooks, which is crazy to me given the severe limitations of iPadOS compared to macOS.

I'm sorry for what you experienced, but that isn't the same thing at all. Not every hospital has advanced capabilities. There aren't enough specialists to staff them, and even if there were small population centers wouldn't have the number of patients needed to sustain the costs associated with those advanced capabilities. Transferring patients to different hospitals for a higher level of care is extremely common.

The article is talking about a situation where the hospital has the capability to provide the appropriate care, but can't for legal reasons. In that scenario having to transfer a patient out of state is ridiculous, wasteful, and unsafe.

You can order that tablet with Ubuntu, mint, Manjaro, zorin, elementary, etc. There's gotta be some kind of driver support to build on, no?

I agree, but to be fair the title was a little clickbaity and was seen by a whole lot of people who didn't watch the video and just scrolled past it.

Chromebook makes sense. They could also do full on Linux. Star labs has a tablet coming out, so they don't have to reinvent the wheel for software (I assume, I haven't tried touchscreen Linux).

Surely they are aiming for a repairable and modular smartphone eventually. That's going to be super hard to do. My guess is their next form factor will be a tablet.

Not from a person. When I was younger I took an online personality test. Nothing from a reputable source, just some random pop psychology thing. The result was short and had a few things on it, but one line hit me like a ton of bricks: "You don't like people who aren't as smart as you."

I was incredulous at first, but the more I thought about it the more I realized it was probably true at some level. I was pretty horrified by this realization, and I ended up thinking about it a lot and doing a ton of introspection. I knew I was smart, but I started acknowledging that there were also a ton of things I was terrible at. Whenever I had intrusive thoughts about a person I thought wasn't very smart, I tried to think about things they were good at or at least acknowledge privileges I had that they didn't.

We are a product of our experiences, and different people have different skills and aptitudes for things. All of that is ok and doesn't make someone better than anyone else. I'm not perfect at it, but I found some value in confronting uncomfortable truths about myself.

“It’s not discriminating against his lifestyle — that’s his choice,” Potteiger said in the meeting. “But it’s him speaking about it.”

He also said he was better than Washington and Lincoln. It was in the same video that he announced his NFT collection.

Android detects air tags and notifies users. https://support.google.com/android/answer/13658562?hl=en#zippy=%2Ccompatible-trackers

This is not correct. Android devices can detect apple's air tags and alert users when an unauthorized tag is nearby. Google delayed the launch of their network to wait for Apple to implement the same feature for Android compatible tags, which is finally coming in the next iOS update.

Intel certainly has a history of bad behavior, but I wish them luck with this pivot to chip fabrication.
