Whisper definitely blows AWS Transcribe out of the water. And, it's free. So nice.

Except execution will be subpar, as it always is. - Why pay for Alexa 2.0 when you can get an alternative for free? - How to get people to do more than the bare minimum of music, notifications, and home automation? People can't even u

It's been this way for some time. Same with Woot. Both Zappos and Woot used to be cool. After Amazon acquired them, they just sit and rot. Wish the FTC would do something about this already...

If China tries Taiwan, all hell will erupt. "From above so below," as it were. Best for China (and Taiwan) if China relaxes a bit. Seriously. Chill with this cold war posturing. The toys are too dangerous, with too little visibili

Got it, my mistake. Thank you for the clarification. Is this to say, Protonmail does not cache previous verification and/or recovery passwords?
18.
by brevitea 2y ago
The requirement that the recovery email address be a non-ProtonMail email is a bit fishy as well. The recovery email can be modified/deleted after initial account setup. However, it is unclear to me if Proton is caching that sensitive

Non-rhetorical question: Do people legitimately trust Microsoft Defender? It seems to be Microsoft spyware.

Agree. The idea is to verify your age, not harvest all your PII data across every login and viewing session. Companies can easily implement this privacy-preserving step, they just won't until it is strictly enforced.
