It has issues but I would rather see reform of patents first. Given the greater pace of developments now, effectively they now represent a proportionately longer period now than in the past. And they are too broad, along with various abuses

It strikes me as risky, if the item is in any way delicate or has absorbed water at all. But I'm no ceramics expert!

I genuinely love mine. It's very much as this review says. I like that it does a specific amount of functionality really well, rather than over reaching and then trying too much yet delivering poorly The battery life is the single reas

YMMV depending on specific needs but generally even on Windows on an average machine with an imperfect setup I've found it exceptionally fast, often well inside the sub-second range, to the point that I do sometimes worry if it really

Would be nice if the site could show people what it did without first handing over camera access - if it's useful enough once I know what it does, I would consider granting it then but not before.

Never heard of GS1 before, let alone GS1 Sunrise but it's presumably behind an annoying and, one would hope, entirely avoidable frustration in Boots in the UK. They obviously turned on QR code scanning capability on their tills at some

They were just illustrating their point, I wouldn't take that literally.

Interesting that none of the talk around this has touched on any form of enforcement, even though this is illegal activity in US/EU. Any fine would be peanuts for them but it might help to refocus the mindset from "oops, misconfig

This is sad but no great surprise. What does surprise me a little is how far ranging the "we can't make those parts anymore" argument goes. I thought back to those seriously slim Sony Walkman and Aiwa players people would bri

Yes, same for me on Firefox mobile and Chrome mobile (both latest versions on Android)

Please don't be detered by the less constructive comments, there are a myriad of approaches one could take and it's impossible to please everyone. Even if it has failings I think it's a great site and I'm grateful. Plus

Beautiful work, thank you for sharing it! In case it's useful, given your last sentence, it runs really well on Chrome on Android (on a Pixel 10) but it's a bit glitchy (although not impossible) on Firefox on Android. The loading

My Time 2 was ordered early and still took an age to arrive (well beyond the estimate) but they were good enough to announce updated timing when I queried it and it came a few weeks after. I must say it's a fantastic piece of kit. Not

This is good, although it left a fairly antipodean tone with a nerdy style when I selected British English. The source was a fairly heavy french accent, with the outcome being quite amusing. The token limits seem to have kicked in now (my f

Looks good. What's with the submit buttons being put on the left on virtual game keyboards, even though Return/Enter usually on the right on typical keyboards. Wordle also does this.

Yes, the importance of asking a question to demonstrate you've invested effort cannot be overstated. Without knowing what/how they asked, it's difficult but I would be tempted to suspect this was actually a way to say "p

I find it bizarre they even feel the need to do this - even generally there's a question about whether advertising really leads to purchases you would not have otherwise made, but with fuel it seems incredibly unlikely someone would be

This feels rather naive in taking all the complaints at face value. The truth will be much more nuanced, and ultimately countries should be more welcoming to the genuine whilst far more discerning with the deceitful

I'm sure this received full human attention, even if they used a computer to help write it (be that more traditional text tools or more recent ones).

Were you meaning it was unavailable temporarily? Maybe something changed in the meantime, but I'm seeing what appears to be the code for it here: https://code.haverbeke.berlin/wordgard/wordgard/src/branch

I recall when Google nearly did the same for all the people with Google Workspace legacy free edition accounts. They had no idea how many people they were going to massively upset but they did see sense (which itself is remarkable!)

Unable to read the article but the basic maths of putting suitable structures in space obviously doesn't add up, even if you don't account for maintenance difficulties, accelerated damage and poor upgrade options

How does this differ from SetFit? Is it just an alternative implementation? I found the HF version pretty effective and it often works well for multilingual classification. I've used it for intent matching and was pleasantly surprised
