I can log on to my bank through a website

If only we had things like 1tb storage in a tiny chip
I hope one day we could develop something like this
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 week ago:
If you yank a magnetic stick on charger it just disconnects. If you yank a wired cord it can break it.
I never said you must stop using wired charging. If you’re using it while charging and it works for you, you can continue to do that.
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 week ago:
Nobody said you must get rid of wired charging.
Over four years I’ve broken three or four cables. Every time it’s because the phone moved while plugged in. Whether it’s my error (forgetting it’s plugged in) or the cat knocking the phone down, nothing breaks when the phone falls down from the wireless charger
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 week ago:
It doesn’t have plugging and unplugging cycles and doesn’t get bent in different directions, so it will basically never break unless you use the phone while holding the charging pad
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 week ago:
You keep on connecting and reconnecting the USB-C cable, and if you use it while charging you probably bend it.
The cable in the charging pad never gets unplugged

Your phone doesn’t have that much energy stored in it. 5 watt hours or so? Now consider the energy cost of making usb-c cords
- Comment on Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 Phones 1 week ago:
It’s literally a few watt hours. Not kilowatt hours, watt hours. I pay $0.08 per kwh, so after a few years of wireless charging I might pay $1 more
But the USB-C cord might break in less than that time and cost more. Manufacturing cords is never going to be green, but electricity can be made renewable

There are artificial colors that are not known to be harmful, so would that also mean they are without chemicals?

Now play 1080p content on it to conjugate
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 3 weeks ago:
I had a 6" 720p phone. Couldn’t tell the resolution, but could definitely tell the longer battery life
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 3 weeks ago:
I cannot tell 4K because my TV is 50’’ and I sit three meters away
- Comment on Top economist on the economy’s dirty truth: The only people who feel good are ‘making over $200,000’ and ‘have large stock portfolios’ 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, that’s rough for you now, but once you pay those things off you’re going to be well off
My friend has a family of 6 in SF bay area (one kid in college) and he spends ~120K per year. That’s not abnormal when he has nothing to pay off anymore.

Those poor dual income no kids families who only make $190K each

I remember you were able to crash someone’s PC by sending them a link to a webpage. This is what security updates prevent and there were even worse ones

Is that after or before it has to tell you it may cause cancer?

Do not recommend. I’m on apixaban now because it doesn’t require frequent blood tests

It becomes an integrity check arms race. Graphene OS devs not keen on this idea, but they may not have a choice in the near future

Not true, vanguard sends me vote notifications. Basically, vanguard will vote on the board the way the vanguard shareholders do
- Comment on Google Confirms Non-ADB APK Installs Will Require Developer Registration 1 month ago:
They already diverge by having a network permission and a bunch of other differences, and not being allowed to use Google Pay because of those differences

What I want is being able to hand draw something quickly in my notes, what’s the app that has text and drawings?
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 1 month ago:
I still logged in to Facebook on the number pad back in the day. If you told me I had to use a touchscreen I’d say I’d rather get a bigger physical keyboard because I need to feel what I’m typing and to see the whole site I’m typing in
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 1 month ago:
You said
Imagine a calculator that reported “1+1=3”. It seems silly to use such a machine to do long division.
Every single person alive has made silly addition mistakes. Is it silly to trust those people with long division?
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 1 month ago:
But you didn’t say that. You said you can’t trust something that makes basic mistakes. Humans make them all the time. You can’t trust any human?
- Comment on Zuckerberg hailed AI ‘superintelligence’. Then his smart glasses failed on stage | Matthew Cantor 1 month ago:
My phone did have a browser, but you had to type in using the numbers. What I really wanted was a phone with a bigger physical keyboard

R and r are the same letter. You can tell because a word that starts with r can be written with R at the start of the sentence

A Math PhD will eventually make a simple arithmetic mistake if you ask them to do enough problems. That doesn’t invalidate more difficult proofs they have published in papers
