Maybe that's why they are doing it on the airport which is extraterritorial

Sadly both Google and Apple allow this only when using the cloud... You even can't configure your own cloud provider for the backup

Careless coding has been introduced by people saying "programmer's pension is more than double the RAM" but it is no longer the case. The windows UI could occupy 30MB at most. But they chose differently

Big companies will read up the books and make their AI recite them from memory, but Archive.org was sued for renting one book on an exclusive basis (unless one would return, another wouldn't be able to rent)

In my country there are two parties always being elected. Quite similar to US system. It's always first saying "elect us, otherwise second will win" and the second saying the opposite.

Asymptotically those parties go the same way, but always introducing new laws that improve oppression-style control, explaining that those others must be controlled. And the voters accept the solution, but do not understand that the next year the second party will come and use the solution.

I don't know if you get what I'm saying without the context but this is exactly the case: imagine police state appearing in your country. Does the law help them or are you still free

First - it's great that people can't take screenshots of their sensitive data by accident

Second - I hate when my device keeps me from anything. I'm used to have control over my computer, and this is outrageous that I can't take screenshots of anything I want. There should be a god mode or something like that.

for lyme disease? Can you share which?

I believe in my country this is treated differently...

According to evidence based medicine, infected tick's bite is not equal to infection of the patient. It means that the test can be false positive and based solely on it, people would start exhausting treatment for nothing

Yeah I find the phone-taken images much worse than camera-taken even despite the astonishing number of megapixels and amount of technologies promised in the phones nowadays. Sadly most people don't buy the camera because it's too expensive and you need prepare yourself to take it with you (so the most photos are taken instantly with the phone)

Ideally: we will have private AI

Reality: our computers will be used as distributed AI calculators

It's quite funny that (I am neither an English native speaker) I cannot tell anything bad and all your writing sounds great to me, but English natives see the AI in an obvious manner.

I remember Pascal as a so tidy and clean language... And verbose. Very verbose... And calling win API was a horror
