I drop my phone a lot, I have a great case for it so not a scratch after 6 years. I am interested in getting the foldable but apparently the cases don't protect the hinge or let dirt get in? Anyone have experience with this? Maybe I'm not the right audience, too clumsy

Drm is not targeted at the hardcore pirate, it's targeted at a potentially larger percentage of people who would be tempted to get the thing for free if it was easy. Drm may be circumventable, but any complex set of steps for doing so is enough to deter that target audience.

Why does it matter it's from the 80s? You're suggesting people back then were incapable of making good decisions, and people now will make better ones?

Anyone using deepseek through a gateway (not sure if right term) so there's no data retention? At work we're going through a few hundred million tokens a day in our app (using anthropic models), and we're looking for something significantly cheaper

It's interesting that the request refusal rate is so much higher in Hindi than in other languages. Are some languages more ambiguous than others?

Maybe in the past. In todays world, when something becomes cheaper, the extra revenue goes straight to the executives. The consumer doesn't see it

Shouldn't they be required to offer a work phone if they require you to install an app on a phone? It may depend on where you live

Sure school is for acquiring skills, but it's also day care. A place to keep children during the day so their parents can work, especially in a society where more and more the expectation is that both parents work.

Exactly, it would only work if you have enough sway with your boss and the willingness to take responsibility for the hire

Temperature on its own wouldn't be enough for life would it? Isn't everything moving around way too fast after the Big bang and therefore too far apart for whatever life there would be to find food (or whatever equivalent source of energy)

In this context it matters because Google maps shows only one website when you search for that pub, if the extorters put their website there first then you can't put your real one
