Famously for a long time, the best way to get a point of interest into PGO was to play ingress and request it's addition there

Right? I feel like I'm taking crazy pills here and on Lemmy, the whole point of ingress was that it was made to sell Google mapping data and point of interest data, that's why the game didn't have monetizing practices for so

I don't know the specific mechanism used in the OP, but android has several mechanisms that can be used to start an app on reboot. Take a look around a Google search, I'm sure you'll find what you need

Things do not require to be useful or to increase revenue in order for them to be enjoyable. If the only reason you ever do something is because you get material wealth out of it, are you even making choices or are you a perfect rational ac

The user interface for a doorbell (smart or dumb) is a a single button that you press, with your finger. Compare that to take out my phone, find a way to scan a qr code, scan it, install an app (?!?!), press a single button with my finger,

Some of these planes are constantly flying as long as they're not in maintenance. A plane not in the air is a plane the company bought that's not currently generating profit.

Not really surprising. Vector embeddings are really not that great at conveying arbitrary "without"s. The words the model sees are "alligator", "tail", and "without", but without means nothing. If som

It is not my intention to be contrarian, but honestly this might be the most incorrect comment I've ever read on hacker news, in several different ways. Sure, some of these might be subjective, but for example chromeOS is Linux with a

Give this is already rolling off the production line, the toolchain they use must be certified iso 26262. More than actual engineering (though there still is some), the hard part is getting that certification at all, or you can't put i

I think now this is correct due to European laws, but not that long ago, if you were not in your home country and someone called you, you could be billed for the international part of the call. Nowadays the agreements telcos were forced to

This specifically is trivially defeated by ECC, though it wouldn't be that much harder to instead flip 3 bits and ECC would be unable to help. ECC has very poor penetration outside the server world though, so we're still safe. For

Aren't these just IPCs disguised as normal function calls though? IIRC only the main node process does anything node, renderers can call "node functions" that really happen in the main process.

I like the idea but you can't ensure the battery supports the load and it's a matter of time before someone puts the shittiest of 18650s inside it and it explodes

My experience in soldering is a hobby one, but I've done hard enough things like install a Nintendo switch modchip without a microscope. I want to love this product, but I really think you're hitting the worst of both worlds in wh

Rainbow 6 siege has "individual" builds (they really have 8 different builds, each tied to 1/8 accounts). Apparently it's not really effective at all.
