So… Who processes the donation?

If you can bear the cringe of the interviewer, there’s a good interview with Penrose that goes on the same direction: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=e9484gNpFF8

It’s not a single bit worse than before the announcement.

No no no, you don’t get it! Humans only have eyes, so cars that only have eyes should perform just as good as humans! Disregard that humans don’t perform well in fog or rain or generally anything that isn’t good weather and also disregard that to match our eyes’ resolution you’d need extremely high resolution cameras that produce way too much data for current computers and also disregard that most of the stuff isn’t happening in our eyes but in our brains and also disregard that the point that is usually being made to advocate for self driving cars is that they should be better than humans!

That’s some gourmet website.

The Xperia compact series were dream devices. 😩

I really hate that I think this might be an option for me, just because I’d really like a phone with a small screen and flip phone with outside screens that you just leave closed seem to be the only fucking option to get one.

In lieu of the innuendo, in the end know, my Nintendo

Have the battery replaced for free

how is this not fixing it?

at a walk-in center or […] a mail-in repair program (US-only).

I couldn’t find a walk in center in Germany, but I’ll just assume that there isn’t one in my village, just because the biggest thing we have is a small café near an old water mill, so I’m sure people would have discussed a Google walk in repair center if there was one. Which would leave me with, let me check, ah, no options to get that repaired according to that list.

Disabling half a battery remotely and then telling any non-US-citizen to either drive a few hundred kilometres or suck it isn’t really “fixing it”.

Man, I bet this is just some people complaining about a weird feeling of the device being a little worse…

phones with the Lishen battery have the following changes applied:

• Max charge voltage drops from 4.44V before the update to 3.95V after.
• Batter capacity drops from 3,080 mAh to 1,539 mAh.

…

They just literally cut the capacity in half? What the fuck?

Google does provide a few other options for affected users :

• Have the battery replaced for free at a walk-in center in the US, Canada, UK, Germany, Singapore, or India or take advantage of a mail-in repair program (US-only).
• Request a $100 Google Store credit that you can put toward the purchase of another Pixel phone or other hardware.
• Request a $50 cash payment.

So… They made their device useless and instead of fixing it, they just tell them to buy something else? How is that even legal?

BMI = Money × Babies2

Finally an explanation why my weight has gone up since we had kids.

Maybe Firefox dropping pwa support is a factor there?

Sorry to be that guy, but this sounds like a cybersecurity nightmare. While everybody was busy to come up with schemes that make absolutely sure that only trusted sources can update a system to avoid having malicious players push their code to users, this one just takes any rando’s pile of whatever and injects it straight into the system’s core? Like, that doesn’t sound like a good idea.

It’s amazing

It sometimes makes up things
