Long time Android user, switched to iPhone when I broke the screen of my Google-gifted Nexus 3a. Final straw was the latest update. Every widget became bigger, with a border radius taking way too much space on the screen. Some widgets (e.g.: calendar) had part of the text hidden by the round edges. On top of that, I had a black-ish/brown-ish background and after the update all the UI was brown.
I honestly don't know what Google designers/engineers get paid to do if they can't even QA the software of one of their main devices.
I don't like Apple but I'm way happier now. Main complaint is the stupid photo/file separation. Just give me a normal filesystem please.
I did some research on PII being harvested by Android apps.
TL;DR: The EU could pay a couple of reverse engineers for 2 months and print money out of fines.
I was shocked to discover that (back then?) apps could just straight up read the list of user accounts on the phone without any special permission... Which is mostly fine, except many apps use your email/phone-number as account name or description. Same goes for Wi-Fi SSID and other things.
Just FYI: draw.io uses SVG foreignObjects for styling the text in the diagrams. That means that to get a proper rendering of the resulting SVG you need to look at it in a browser. If not, it has a fallback text element, but you lose the styling. I lost many hours due to this :/ other than that, I like it a lot
Guilty too. I had this idea to improve the order in which I should study kanjis. Ended up with a neo4j instance with kanjis, kanji components (not just radicals), words, and how they are combined.
Now I'm still using the same algorithm, but I do everything manually. It takes time but I found that the flashcard customization aspect makes the memorization easier.
My problem with Twitter is that a lot of researchers I follow make a lot of noise (e.g.: giving their opinions on things 10 times a day, tweeting random "facts" about life, etc...) but once in a while they tweet very informative stuff.
I feel kind of trapped following them :/
I tried using the "this tweet is not relevant" thingie but it doesn't do anything. I mean, this is a thing for which I would gladly have an AI-powered smart filter.
I think the question is not if you *can* work that many hours but if you *should* do it.
Ofc there will be a minority of people that perhaps even enjoy it, but the vast majority is gonna suffer serious mental health issues.
Not to mention that, as others pointed out, some people like to have a life outside of work.
If you work 60 hours a week you either don't sleep much or your life is just working and sleeping.
I am using descript for a project of mine. You can definitely still hear that they are AI-generated. But I'm sure it's not gonna take long. Couple this with SSML and it's going to be quite convincing.
They've been using wifi/cellphone data to track tourists' flow for at least a couple of years.
What seems new is the control tower thingie (Orwellian af) and the tracking of the tourists' origin.
I somehow doubt that they do all of that without ever storing sensitive data/personal identifiers. Anyhow, I suspect some italian journalist is gonna send some FOIAs soon (:
