you have to be more specific lol

just tesselate the world with hexagons and say you’re in a specific one? that doesn’t give precise proximity but does expose your general area.

this does the opposite, doesn’t expose your general area but let’s you determine if it is close to some other location via an expensive comparison. the precision of proximity isn’t tied to how precise a location/small a hexagon you’re exposing

as per the first paragraph of the intro of the linked paper, it’s safer to store this than it is an actual location. if data gets leaked it’s like leaking a hashed password instead of a plaintext one. their example is device trackers.

no

Or 73% of a PS5 pro if you’re in Canada!

idk if it would be manual, isn’t the point of ab root to rollback if it doesn’t properly boot afterwards?

idk, I’m 6’6 and I despise having to drive full size pickups and SUVs. they’re made for short people to feel tall. A decent proportion I can’t even see street lights in lol.

The cars that have been good for me have been weird, like my s10 fits me better than any full size truck, outbacks and other cuv aren’t bad either, especially newer ones. I’ve heard there are sedans that are better fit for taller/bigger people, but I haven’t looked much there

not sure what you’re talking about with lisp lol, the military may have some dialect they wrote but lisp started as an academic language and there’s plenty of still supported and used dialects outside of that

little dark age (album) really just should have been 7 copies of little dark age (song). for some reason I always want more but nothing ever quite fits to follow up

that gets rid of cec but everything else would still work. you really just have to plug your other devices into the TV directly instead of into the roku. the problem will be the tvs with roku integrated directly

yeah that works, it’s even the same interface. you just lose out on also making calls and voicemail from web

Google messages. Here is the support article on the tradeoffs: https://support.google.com/fi/answer/6188337

I don’t think I like it, but there is an argument that kids without phones will be ostracized, or students will be expected to have access to phones in school, etc.

I know even in like 2012 or so some high school classes were expecting students to have phones for quick research and such. I wouldn’t be surprised if that type of thing was moving into lower grades

it’s ironic with all this that Google fi messages on Android still doesn’t support rcs without losing a bunch of other features

Mine has just started to have problems with the steam button and the right stick not registering presses. There really aren’t alternatives and I’m devastated. Probably going to have to buy used ones off ebay if I can’t fix it.

this guy writes shitty code

I have a pair, and they’re really convenient. Occasionally they do make me feel sick if I wear them too long though

I’ve had a Samsung TV for a while. They started with putting little ads in the menu not to long after I bought it. Last November they removed the steam link app so I can’t stream games from pc. Just the other day they switched the default app on open from whatever was open before to the news playing over an ad to buy their cable alternative. The setting in the menu to change it back doesn’t work.

It’s worse than no support

all the root secrets are available in plain text the generator app at some point, they have to be. moving that to a single purpose device greatly reduces the risk of vulnerabilities in your phone leading to exfiltration via internet connection

mine works for my personal google account, work one is sso and doesn’t have it enabled. otherwise gh, aws, auh0 support it, I’m forgetting some others I use. beyond that you can generate 2fa codes too

idk, I have a car and a job that pays well enough that I don’t feel right for gas money and such, but I’ll still walk/public transit/bike when it’s not terribly inconvenient and I feel like a lot of my same generation coworkers feel the same way.

sure money might be part of it for some, but definitely not the driving force in my circles
