You definitely get a warning. But also there's an auto-update feature so you can set it an forget it so long as your device connects to the internet once every x months.

While I agree this is potentially an issue, most people with most devices won't be away from the internet for years. If you want it to be apocalypse proof for when the internet goes down you should probably get a paper map.

Google maps offers this functionality. I've had my local map and maps of any place I regularly go to downloaded for many years.

There is very much plenty of fairly reliable evidence that masks work. And the better the compliance the better they work. In nurse studies you get much better results than in population studies, for instance. Now that I'm looking I&#x

I fully agree with using Qubes, but I also think for most people in most cases that's akin to putting a bank vault door on the front of your house. I guess the question I would ask is: gun to your head you have a choice between running

I guess I just don't buy it completely. Given that I myself have had a hard time giving permission to Flatpak to access even an unimportant network drive (Flatseal is a godsend for giving/denying permissions in any way you please)

Maybe someone with more knowledge than me can explain - flatpaks seem way more secure than anything you would ever install in Windows by a long shot. It's also fairly trivial for me (and I'm by no means a hardcore user) to use a c

But wouldn't you agree reading about this topic now, with the counter-argument of the post-1960 consensus (though I have a hard time thinking most things debatable like this are ever strictly consensus), and the follow-up DNA evidence,

You really can't see the reason behind this? People are suing for libel / slander / copyright infringement / everything else under the sun. If you don't put guardrails up, and it hallucinates bogus medical advice, s

I think the pull for most of us who use chatgpt is that google lies far, far more often than chatgpt ever will. Or is just otherwise inconclusive / does not give the relevant information you're looking for. The amount of SEO click

>It doesn't parse, it doesn't explain, it does not grok. It guesses at best and the blood sucking robot-horse is not telling the truth. In my experience with coding (I've only done javascript and python myself) you have to

I don't tend to keep the chat logs, as the amount of them gets unwieldy very quickly. But examples of things I've done with it that are useful: I wanted to create a web app, something I haven't done in a very long time. Just

It really is astonishing how much you can get done this way. I've been setting up a home lab for myself, and the answers Gpt4 gives are miles ahead of the stack overflow results or documentation of the apps or whatever else. Rarely (ve

If posting on twitter is your idea of how to get things done in politics (as many people believe) then it not being on twitter is a boon for us all. Actual civic engagement is what's needed, not posturing for your party (it's a lo

What you're talking about is a kind of willpower, which funnily enough has a biological basis also. Genetics seems to play a role, as do many medications. The marshmallow test seems to show willpower largely stays the same over 4 decad

I very rarely use google anymore, as it's a worse bullshit machine. I just ask chatgpt and tell it to give me sources. I also never use cookbooks anymore, as it's much more interesting to have a chat about what I can make with the

IMO what invalidates the rest of the piece is that it's currently trending in multiple places. Apparently "they" couldn't get to this article?

The problem is what qualifies you as a flat trasher in their minds? Having a 6 pack of beer in the background of a picture? Maybe they take exception to people who smoke weed. Maybe they think if you're gay you're more rowdy.

Wouldn't you be able to say the same about literally any OS that doesn't have a completely walled garden? I'm positive I can find software on linux that bundles the askjeeves software as well. And probably MacOS. You blame th

Stadia Pro for $10 a month gets you a selection of games I believe. But it really is in it's infancy, and not very good. We'll just have to see if google throttles it before it can mature like most other things they do.

I'm torn. Xbox game pass for PC is one of the greatest things to happen to gaming. Ps now let me play red dead 1 before #2 came out. EA access is great if you just want to play battlefield or Fifa for a month (those games don't ty

I'm curious as to if there's a brigade for saying this, as it seems to be in everywhere. Aren't self driving cars on the road right now? Can't I grab one in las vegas this very instant? https://www.popsci.com&

I'll bite because I find this point of view fascinating. So you have 100 candidates of whom you know the name, date of birth, and gender as well as their first language. But unfortunately someone messed up and these 100 candidates have

I agree with the sentiment that "everything is bad". Computers are still in their birthing stage and full of problems. But Windows 10 feels like an improvement over any previous version of Windows at least. Which is really all we
