Am definitely human.
Wait, that’s a dumb design. On a (way) older phone I had some automation running and all that location triggering was done on the phone and only connected to my home when I was in fact near it. Google (or any role party) shouldn’t need to receive live geo location updates.
Thank you for that information.
One might also say, with the dire current state of browser competition, it won’t make much of a difference.
I’m just privately hopping that Firefox won’t lose its last few percent market share and go the way of the dodo. 🤞🥹
Yes, I’m really confused about this article - isn’t what you describe still in effect? Why on earth not? (I haven’t used Windows in ages so I personally have never seen that.)
I went directly from a dot matrix (ImageWriter II ftw!) to a laser. Except for photo prints, I find it immensely practical to be able to print stuff at home.
Emoji passwords made me think of the Lotus Notes password prompt with their little images that changed as I typed (which never really made sense to me).
Yes, I’m old…
… Like what is not a very common skill? Touch typing in general? Or doing it under VR specifically?
Asking because I’ve never had the experience: how does one write anything while wearing a VR set? Please don’t tell me it’s one-finger “Fliegender Adler” on a giant floaty image of a keyboard?
This would utterly kill the comfort, convenience, and speed of touch typing, would it not? Ahh, progress… Even in Minority Report they had (friggin’ sweet-looking!) keyboards alongside their fancy futuristic FAUI*.
^((* FAUI - flailing arms UI)^)
New fear worry unlocked…
Seems like this was done by working out passwords based on figuring out where people were looking and gesturing, rather than looking directly at the keyboard.
As a person using an uncommon keyboard layout, I reckon this would make it harder to hack my typing.
IF I could even get such a layout on wherever VR system I would theoretically be using… 😬
You know, if you want to replace Slack, look into Mattermost. It’s foss but otherwise pretty much exactly what Slack does so well.
The way your comment reads, you’ve been using Windows 3.11 these past decades. 😂
Death trap at the right side with the dip in the yellow/orange/maroon pipe. Yay drowning!
Cars should just come with a big open socket up front, where I can buy (or build) my own infotainment system to install there.
…which is precisely what we used to have, before auto makers decided to insist that they should be enclosed in a swooping dash.
I’m told that on Lemmy you can edit your headlines
It’s not really evident from the series - I believe it’s one of Adam Savage’s videos you should check out, where he gets to talk to some of the prop masters.
You know what? Fuck it, I found it for you.

The things I wouldn’t do for some actual Misko & Marisko merch… 🥵
Totally unrelated (to nuts): I feel that the prop masters of The Expanse did a stellar job of take away meal packaging. Even the utensils did double duty as the locking pins of the packaging.
A lot of ATM cash machines run Windows 7. Yes, still.
On a Hyundai, there’s a very annoying beeping pretty much coinciding with the wheels hitting the lane markings - which IMHO is too little too late, and besides around here most lane markings are made to rumble so it’s not like an additional audio signal is needed.
On my ex’es brand new car, that feature got turned off after very few kilometres, and has stayed off ever since.
Ah, you mean like the sync that Palm OS used to have? Yup, that was neat, and I’m still waiting for Android to pick up some of the neat features from back then.
(psst: widely known, in case it’s not just an autocorrect fluke)
In my experience, neither Slack nor other apps (that all blow Teams out of the water) can do that - except Discord, which isn’t exactly a common office meeting app.
