Like so many games when npcs have one canned voice line, or the level is lined with doors that won't open because it's not the way you're meant to go.

Apple's "liquid retina display" is just LG/Sharp/Etc IPS LCD - aka what they should be called, just like everyone does. None of this "magical Apple words" to make it sound like their own tech.

Depending on charger power. The new Renault 5 comes in at 52kwh, 100kw charging, that's just over half an hour for a true zero to hero charge, unrealistic because they pretty much never run to 0.

And many support 150kw and over now. Some hyundais and others do 350!

So still, a nonissue. If someone pointed out that you can transport extra fuel in a jerry can then that's valid. If you're crossing Nairobi desert or something.

Problem with sandboxes is that it doesn't solve the "user who doesn't know or care" problem.

If you have to give access to particular files to an app, your average user will just give access to all. Someone installing tiktok doesn't look at the permissions...

The best thing would be for apps to operate on their own copy of a file regardless. But that doesn't stop bad apps from leaking importsnt files. Unless files can be signed as being for x thing requiring y special permissions as granted by the originator and not the user.

The crowd on here we can't to be able to truly own our devices. But I think for the safety of the average person they should be locked down by default, same as dev mode on android devices where you accept liability for doing silly things.

In my opinion, an OS that hosts a local agent can produce things for you on the fly in response to a particular task in addition to the baseline set of features.

Too often have I ran into "you can't do that" in operating systems, especially Macos where you either have to buy a paid app to implement what they should have already, or what you want is niche enough that you have to build it yourself.

Plus and agent can operate across your hardware including the cloud. I could ask something like "graphics cards are expensive and always out of stock so when some pop up can you notify me and show me the price etc" and then receive a rich alert on whatever device I happen to be using at the time it happens, once agents are aware of where we are and what we're doing (yes, it will be pretty dystopian with current governments and the drooling animals who vote for tribalism).

Or being able to be like "I want my photo gallery to show animated thumbnails when I've taken a series of photos of the same subject. Oh, little bit slower like one every second thanks" boom done.

And much UI will becomes defunct in the first place, UI only exists because of many annoying discrete steps we have to do to get something done. If I can just ask an agent to do the thing I want then I don't care about that.

It's like how I only need to make a PowerPoint now and then and every time I open it I've completely forgotten where all of the stupid fucking buttons are in the stupid fucking ribbon bullshit they made.

How many people are really driving 240~ miles per day? Practically nobody...that's like 3.5 hours at motorway speeds.

Inb4 the typical response of "every American commutes 99999 miles per day!!!"

Charging at 1kw at home would be perfectly fine for average use cases.

I reported them to the UKICC and got a reply after like 7 months asking for more information (I'd given them plenty) and that they were very busy and it would probably take another year to look at it. I told them not to bother.

And what about reparations for the rest of us? Where's my cash for being a gay man whose kind were historically killed, tortured, imprisoned, repressed, denied job and other opportunities? You know, WWII reparations also excluded the pink triangles. Hell we couldn't even get married in Western countries for the longest time and some of the most vocal opposition groups were other minorities.

So I think this whole thing is a load of shit, personally. I wouldn't hold someone born in 1990s accountable for how gays were treated in 1800s, only in modern times.

Lmao.

On a personal meatbag level emotions are magical and something ineffable.

From a scientific stance, chemical make brain go happy or sad and there's nothing special or magical about that. Every emotion we feel is because it was evolutionarily valuable for us to do so.
