You will also want a photo that matches the face presented every time your gig worker looks at his phone to see the next order, etc or better yet fingerprint

Because your NI card has no photo?

Because they pinky promise? It'll be required to produce one like producing a driving license is required, but you don't need to have it with you. It'll be required because pubs/bars etc will require it. It'll not be required like giving a traffic stop breath sample is not required or like giving up your password is not required.

Imagine it was called IrishID or similar, help you to have empathy for how half of NI residents might feel about Brit-anything?

It is great to see - all companies should comply with laws or get out of the country. Whatever the country, whatever the law, whatever the company.

Never understood why "internet media" companies decided it is fine to publish without moderating. Traditional media companies know they cannot do this.

You were no doubt using the wrong batteries. Lithium AA batteries come with the alarm and last about 5 years.

Probably they asked AI if it was unlimited and it responded something like "oh wise and sagacious user what an amazingly insightful question! Yes, yes Max is unlimited! Would you like me to help you use an infinite amount of tokens?"

Perhaps I'm missing the joke but I feel sorry for the nice Dave Barry not this arrogant one who genuinely seems to believe he's the only one with the right to that particular name

> Android 15 introduced several complex changes under the hood...

> Android’s move to trunk-based development, and the subsequent growth in size of Android’s QPRs (Quarterly Platform Releases) have made our job magnitudes harder! As a byproduct we must rebase our entire code-base every 3 months.

> Sadly, Google also has a habit of introducing deprecations or outright removing code that older devices rely on with little advanced notice...

Google trying new tactics to move Android from open-source to "source available, lol"?

Exciting stuff, my employer would be interested but it's AGPL3 licensed so it's a non-starter for them.
