Totally my thoughts. I get shoved twice a week just walking around in town.

You're describing very different use cases. Face unlock isn't AI. It's just using biometrics to generate a very complex password. It should and can run locally, I wouldn't trust any provider to actually keep it local though. Everything else you mentioned happens in the cloud. You need a good amount of processing power to generate the necessary output, which happens on server farms. Thats why Bezos is looking into nuclear reactors to feed his farms enough energy.

I don't understand the question. You want stats in GB when you ride a bike although your wife is wearing the watch? That's an obvious no. If it's a typo and you want stats when your wife is riding a bike, then the answer is, it depends on the watch. My Amazfit Bip can track bike workouts so GB can as well.

The official process was a pain anyway, as it required sending personal identification data to China. Anyone that wants a custom ROM on their phone should be looking elsewhere, although I don't know of any brand that makes that process easy anymore

Even if I was a bazillionaire, I'd still be pirating Sony games out of principle

Indies is where it's at

I've seen the effects on invidious these past days. 8 in 10 instances have been broken. Google is putting some serious work into shutting alternate frontends down. Shows you how much of a dent they're putting in the bottom line.

Same with Gnome wanting to be pronounced "Gah-nome", or Latex "Latech". Just spell stuff the way you want it to be pronounced, or accept that people pronounce it another way

Not only that. There are whole countries participating in that disgusting shit. UK and US stayed absent from the Nagasaki memorial event because Japan had the good sense of not inviting an apartheid dictatorship.

I read on another thread that an admin was emulating a testing environment by blocking CrowdStrike IPs on their firewall for the whole network before each update, with the exception of a couple machines. It's stupid that he has to do this but hey, his network was unaffected

Not to be pedantic, but since you're emphasising it: their (they're = they are)
