How does this work with local laws regarding 2 party recording? If you’re on a video call and this records the other party without their permission, that is AFAIU illegal in many states in the US. I’m sure in parts of Europe as well.

Lol yeah, okay. Talk to me when you can actually get to most sites with IPv6.

On the flip side, if the genders were changed in this situation and the guy only wanted the woman because of superficial reasons like she was attractive or popular, how many people would be saying “he got what he deserves”

This is definitely one of those double standard situations. While we shouldn’t be victim blaming, I think there’s something to be said for calling out people who are willing to throw away an existing relationship or form a new relationship just because an “influencer” came up to them and they thought they were rich. And I think that’s what the poster you are responding to was getting at.

Lmao I’m in the NYC area and my whole house shook. I’m right there with you. Thanks for the explanation!

Okay honest question, when you merge a PR in GitHub and choose the squash commits box is that “rebasing”? Or is that just squashing? Because it seems that achieves the same thing you’re talking about.

Yeah I feel like they neglected to show how much more of a problem on iOS this is than Android.

On Android apps typically have their push notifications divided into different types and can almost always turn off the marketing notifications for an app while leaving the important ones on.

I dont see even half of these notifications on Android.

I mean it is but it isn’t. I think Nilay wanted to get the Verge back at the top of the search engine results but also wanted to make a point about why he had to do it. It’s funny because it’s really 2 paragraphs about it and then the rest of it is a normal article about the best printer lol. And the fun Gemini thing thrown in.

Lol again, everyone in this community loves to call The Verge corporate shills but then has no problem upvoting and commenting on posts like these. Like if the Verge were truly biased by corporate interests, wouldn’t an article like this be the place most ripe for that bias to show through and be a problem?

I get that the community is not a hive mind and is made up of many different people, but on posts where people are criticizing the Verge because they don’t like the way they show the corporate viewpoint you’d be drowned out completely if you were to argue anything otherwise. The irony just kills me.

Nah fuck that, that’s not a deterrent and businesses will just see that as the cost of doing business. They should be forced to refund everyone for the entire game no questions asked. There was no disclaimer when purchasing this game that says “we may completely disable this game and render it useless, even single player, on short notice at any time.” What are you supposed to do, buy the game, then read the terms of service and maybe interpret it as them having the ability to do that and then return the game? Absolute BS.

I don’t think any reasonable consumer would purchase a game if they knew it could be made completely unplayable in the next 3 months. Which is exactly what happened here. It was still on sale in December and was shut down in March…

This puts undue hardship on the consumer to make sure they’re not getting ripped off and there’s not even a clear way to be able to do that. This is the exact situation regulations are for.

Just FYI steam compresses the data and shows the throughput with compression so the number will be higher than your actual download bandwidth.

Define “good” ping. (Latency is the proper term)

Edit: Nvm, just saw your other comment. 50ms isn’t bad.

30ms+ is high for cable in my experience. I was getting routinely in the high teens and low 20s.

On fiber I get less than 10ms.

But then the company doesn’t get to charge you 1500% markup on the cost of it every couple weeks/months so it’ll never happen.

I will kindly ask you to retract that insult.

I’ll retract that “insult” when you explain why you’re still defending apple after several people have responded to you with objective information that this is not a patent trolling case and that Massimo was using the technology but you’re still defending Apple while having no counter-argument to the fact that it’s clearly not a patent trolling situation.

Okay so it wasn’t 10 years of court cases (this is what they said on the Vergecast but that apparently was incorrect) however the saga HAS been going on for 10 years:

This particular story started about 10 years ago when Apple reached out to Masimo about a potential partnership around blood oxygen features on its wearables. Soon after, Apple reportedly poached several Masimo engineers and its chief medical officer.

So 10 years ago, Apple reached out to Masimo about the technology, didn’t license it, proceeded to hire several of their engineers and its Chief Medical Officer, and then used the technology anyway after not licensing it and clearly poaching their engineers and CMO for the purposes of copying Masimo’s IP. And that’s what was proven in this court case, that Apple has been infringing on Massimo’s patents because of these facts.

It doesn’t, you’re 100% correct. Apple fanboys gonna fanboy.

Also this whole thing is stupid. Apple literally refused to come to an agreement for the patent and was literally hinging its hopes on the Biden administration blocking the injunction, which made sense when it was a US company vs a non-US company, but of course doesn’t make sense when it’s two US companies. Apple probably could have bought out the entire company for less money than these 10 years of court cases cost but they thought they could bully the little guy with their market position.

I still use the HP Reverb G2 for flight sim and I’m wondering how this will effect it. The Mixed Reality app comes up just from connecting the headset to the PC and AFAIK needs to be open in order for the VR to work. I guess it’ll just be deprecated and still there.

Git = bittorrent

GitHub = the pirate bay

Code = content

Even that’s not the perfect analogy but it’s better than the OP.

Can’t imagine there’s too many maintenance costs besides brakes and suspension and suspension is more like a 8-10 year cost. And brakes are relatively cheap.

No oil changes, no transmission fluid changes, no fluids in the car except for hydraulic fluid for the brakes, and windshield wiper fluid.

Edit: I am curious to see how durable that cover for the tailgate is though.

I fuckin hate cops as much as the next person but people love to spout this fact, but there is literally only 1 police department ever that has been documented doing this, and it was the one police department in Connecticut.

However the court did in fact rule it was legal, yes.

But the way everyone talks about it you’d think this was some super widespread policy that many departments use. And as far as I can tell there’s only ever been the 1 example. It’s the same case that every single article about it refers to.
