Matt made a big deal of transferring rights. When the rights were transferred to the WPF, Matt didn't disclose that the Foundation was essentially just him, and the two other nominal members were effectively absent. When the rights wer

No, they have their own number and basically it's a little PBX, simultaneous ring, and outbound CID rewriting. This is about letting the same number exist twice in the network.

WP Engine were not 'crooks' stealing from him. WP was the community's, apparently, not Matt's. Unless it suited him, in which case it was his. WP was open source, and WP Engine followed the license. What crookery? Oh, th

> Or are you one of those hardcore audiophiles who can't listen to music without a ultra high end sound system? Music lovers buy stereo systems to listen to their music. Audiophiles buy music to listen to their stereo systems.

Is it that high? I know that in my Audis, there's actually a system that (in sport mode) pumps engine noise -into- the cabin because the sound damping was that good. And my partner's A4 is at the point where you hear only tire noi

Oh, I'm confused, I was told there were "MASSIVE" (with lots of emphasis) improvements to the processor, battery life, the camera! On the camera side I see "more post processing"... cool?

You imagine so but it would be difficult to imagine a situation where Apple would be liable, so their level of concern would be much lower. Otherwise, manufacturers of digital voice recorders, etc., would also be fearful.

Well, other than being 10 years old, having 100,000 miles on it, most likely needing a new timing chain, suspension, and generally needing a new cooling system, sure. That's why they're $10K. Meanwhile for about the same price dif

I get the form factor difference but Windows Hello (which actually works extremely well, probably due to its incubation with Xbox) came out two years before FaceID.

I loved the disclaimer at the end of the iPhone Pro model that felt distinctly non-Apple and more akin to a drug commercial, "Usage of heavier models may be limited. Subscribers to certain iCloud+ plans will likely receive higher usage

And it's not even that they said that, I get marketing spiel but one the actual phrases was, emphasis his, not mine: " MASSIVE improvements in Camera". Where? Evolution, refinement, sure. Massive? Hm.

Canon's original high end digital models had this as a feature, that your images could be digitally signed in-camera based on raw sensor data. Primarily for law enforcement. Obviously a far broarder use case, now.

Anyone requiring that kind of support is likely hitting up Red Hat for OpenShift Virtualization (despite what warts that has, Red Hat meets the "organizational need for support part of the RFPs).

Hah, I don't know if Zuck has visited, but if he or any of the exec team has, you can bet that filter is finely finely tuned.

The one thing you can do is call 911 and when they respond, just say "I need the non-emergency line" and they'll usually transfer you immediately or just check quickly with you. Just don't waffle on.

But I've had my comments removed for "Get the fuck out of here, you're a moron and attitudes like yours are part of the problem". So who the fuck knows.

I was a paramedic/firefighter for 14 years. I think while there's merit in calling out people jumping at shadows, I do get how this situation, stupidly, escalated. And there's a bit more to EMS than "imminent life threat

The only things I can think of that have pushed these into my viewport are that I follow multiple AI news pages, and multiple photography pages, same with my IG.

Garbage, too. I've reported at least 10 of these things. Ads, reels. Specifically as child abuse. "After review, we determined this content does not breach our policies."

To be really, really fucking clear, it's not just "failed to catch" it's, "even when reported, failed to do anything about". I got ads, reels that were not-at-all veiled hints at CSAM. "Report: CSAM"

I am going to need a citation there. Around my state, body cameras have been fought by police unions and have had to be bargained into CBAs by government, when really, they should be treated no different than uniform, PPE and equipment.

ACR isn't generally a lossless 4K snap shot but indexed 32x32 pixel blocks from arbitrary locations on screen. In some cases it's even a fuzzy hash of the content source, and while 80Kbps isn't a lot, you can still push out d
