  • When I say to "reasonably know", I don't mean everyone must be aware, but moreso that if you look around, not looking for cameras necessarily, you should notice it. The "reasonable person" standard is one that's commonly used in law, to describe the nature of something, even if the letter of it isn't necessarily true.

    That said, assuming we're talking American law, this would all come down to case law anyways. A majority of American law isn't what's on the books, but what's worked out in court rooms across the country based on written legislation. Judges end up hashing out what the written law actually intends to mean (or in many cases what it should intend).

    For my personal standards, I don't think even a sign is necessary. So long as it's in plain sight. Phone cameras are largely identifiable by the manner in which people hold their phones when recording others, so that would also be something I'd consider passing this "reasonable person" standard. Cameras built into pens and sunglasses though are very obviously intended to be concealed, and as such wouldn't without there being other ways to identify it; such as if it was told to those who'd be in range of the lens that they'd be recorded by this device.

    There'd definitely be a lot of back and forth to hash out appropriate legislation, but I think it's very doable without significantly impacting the daily lives of people today.

  • IMO expectation of privacy is valid, but I believe people should also have the right to reasonably know if they're being recorded. Recording people in public's one thing if you have your phone out and are waving it around pointing it at people, but it's a whole other thing if it's a concealed or otherwise hidden recording device.

  • Don't test me, I'll do it.

  • You know, I've seen this dozens of times but I'm just realizing, at least assuming that's not a power bar (which would be odd since it matches the plug of the monitor or PC), since the monitor shut of straight away, he actually only unplugged the monitor. The PC should still be on and getting hacked.

  • Because doug ford uses the government as a piggy bank for his shitty friends, and that's the only reason he'd cancel the deal.

  • Well naturally this is a brand new technology that Tim Apple invented last week. It's the best in the industry and really, $1000 for a phone this cutting edge is a bargain, even if it can literally burn your hands. /s

  • Apparently. I'd drop dead before I buy one myself but a friend told me today that with fast charging the 15 charges to 100% in 55 minutes.

  • I can't say I actually want to talk to someone who takes me in the least favourable light possible, and goes off at me over their own misunderstanding.

  • I mean, I didn't have anything to say with regards to the 2nd degree burns, really, so I didn't feel the need to comment on them. Didn't know any reply I made had to both acknowledge everything I agree with as well as make comment on what I feel was comment-worthy.

    So I'll start now. I disagree with your lackadaisical portrayal of me. Neither is it accurate nor does it form a coherent argument against me. It simply acts as an ad hominem used in the place of a substantiated or communicated argument.

    I agree with nothing in your non-statement.

    Also characterizing 2nd degree burns on the hands as potentially life-threatening was irresponsible of pseudo-me. Pseudo-I shouldn't have done that, as it's untrue. Pseudo-me should know they're severe and serious, but something doesn't need to be described as "potentially life-threatening" to be severe and serious, and in fact, pseudo-me should be aware that this is a minimization of things that don't kill you but severely impact one's quality-of-life, as 2nd degree hand burns would.

  • Set a timer's and set an alarm's the only two I ever found useful personally. I stopped using google assistant because it just legitimately stopped understanding me correctly and I got frustrated with it.

  • Chill Maalus, I'm pretty clearly addressing 3rd degree burns, and only even mentioning 2nd degree burns in circumstances that are likely to increase their risk.

    What part of this set you off, genuinely? Was it the reference of it as a risk? Was it that I actually looked at the facts? No part of me thinks this is good. This is very obviously and inarguably unacceptable, and no part of my post states otherwise.

    Funny too that you ignore the post right next to mine that legitimately is minimizing it.

  • You really wrote your own story here huh? Just a complete fan-fiction to indict OP.

  • This is where I'm at. Even on english stuff I get pretty miffed if there's no subtitles. It helps me with things I might mishear, or when the sound mixing isn't great. It's a comfort too that I'm not mishearing important lines.

  • Both are true. There can be multiple contributing factors, yes.

    But yes, we shouldn't support corporations. To that point I wholeheartedly agree.

  • Realistically speaking, since this is in fast charging only, and most people don't let their phone battery drain to 0, I think it's unlikely that 3rd degree burns will be an issue within reason. The iPhone 15's reported to take about 30 minutes to charge from 0 to 50%, so if I assume the other 50% also takes 30 minutes, then really, someone won't be hitting 45 minutes unless they're charging from below 25% to full.^[I know charging isn't actually linear progression, but I don't really wanna do the math.]

    That said, 3rd degree burns may be an issue once you slip a case on it that insulates the phone, making it yet hotter, and 2nd degree burns will be more of an issue too. I'd be interested in seeing what the peak temp is during fast charging with a case on, especially one of the thicker cases. If it internally gets to more than 140 degrees Fahrenheit, there's absolutely risk that it could explode, and even if it's not doing it externally, internally it may be nearing those temps.
