The matte screen is enticing especially with stylus support but it's too big for what I'd use a tablet for. The pixel tablet I already have is too big, honestly.

Can they fix all the things that they promised that don't work for the current gen? Like swapping accounts based on voice commands or fingerprints etc?

It is to some degree. Lots of other new cars have lane keeping assist and automatic braking, BLIS, adaptive cruise control etc, and so on with more capable sensors and can for the most part drive without input from the driver better than the Tesla models with ultrasonic sensors or simply cameras. In fact the ones that rely solely on cameras absolutely do reportedly perform worse in testing. Musk was insistent that they could cheap out on the types of sensors used in order to make more profit and it shows. I don't think it's that tech cannot handle self driving currently. I think that it's a numbers game where the firms attempting it want to do it as cheaply as possible while promising the moon and stars which they can't deliver on a cheap budget. Vehicles like Ford's (Blue Cruise) use all kinds of sensors including radar and GPS to allow for handsfree (not self driving) and it does work. The proofs of concept are out there in the world, but the costs to go from something like that to full self driving just doesn't make it feasible for the average car manufacturer.

Yes. Additionally, videos I watch at work do the same thing without the pihole.

How much of the traffic increase is bots. Because we still don't have those numbers and I still don't believe this is anything but bot influx and reddit grifting using ads.

I was able to add techdirt to Feedly too.

I use Bazzite and with the exception of like 4 games (windows only) it works beautifully for gaming. Gaming on Linux is getting better every day and even if you don't use steam, I think it might be worthwhile to give it a try.

I'm curious how this will affect things like sub-a-thons where people stream for charity and so on.

I am using a pihole and I still have this problem. I'm logged in. I'm seeing videos I watched last week or two months ago. Or yesterday. They are being resuggested and do not show as watched if I go to that channel's page. It's infuriating.

Probably not actually, especially in the long term. Crowns and veneers can lead to lots of other dental problems and the thing is, the dog doesn't have human speech to let handlers know it's in pain or having a problem right away so if they have a rotting tooth or a cracked one under the cap all kinds of things can go wrong.

So, the EU banned these trucks because they present a danger to pedestrians, and someone modded one with rubberized bumpers to get it registered. That's it. That's the story.

"The uBlock Origin Lite add-on was also accused of collecting user data and running afoul of privacy concerns, which is one of the big reasons why people switch over to the Firefox browser in the first place. Hill [the developer] responded: “It takes only a few seconds for anyone who has even basic understanding of JavaScript to see the raised issues make no sense.”"

Instead of blocking them, this extension speeds them up to x16 and also mutes the ad. Experiencing a 30 second ad in 2 seconds is pretty funny. And it works on Edge and Chrome.
