  OpenAI like other AI companies keep their data sources confidential.

  And there are exceptions based on capacity and how long you guarantee the battery capacity will be good for. IIRC, if it still has 70% capacity by 3 years time, it doesn’t have to be replaceable at all.

  I do not remember reading that, the only exception I remember is for devices that are intended to be used under water, which phones are definitely not

  Gamemania still exists? I always enjoyed browsing through the games there, nowadays all my games are digital so I don’t have a reason to visit a physical store anymore

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Fair points, although I’m not sure that’s easy to solve. Some teachers are more interesting than others, but schools, especially middle and high schools are too generic for a whole class to be able to listen. Not everybody is going to enjoy chemistry class, while others are just not going to be happy in PE or foreign languages (me). I think a major rework of the school system is required for this to be kind of solved, but it’ll never go away completely.

  I think putting all the responsibility on schools is not the right approach, they’re probably already doing their best, but that just doesn’t work on every kid

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I’m not advocating for allowing phones in schools during lectures or anything, but it’s pretty clear to me that an outright ban is an outdated solution that will only hide the issues instead of solving them.

  While I don’t disagree, social media is the problem and what are schools going to do about that, except for banning phones? You also can’t compare getting distracted by a pen or piece of paper, to a phone with bright colours and notifications, specifically designed to be as addicting as possible

  Not really as you’re still protected from password breaches, which is most likely to happen anyways, especially if you self host.

  If you’re actively being targeted for your bitwarden password, you likely have bigger problems

  There are other things which might touch your screen like dust, which are much harder than a fingernail and thus will be able to scratch it. Just because it hasn’t happened to you yet doesn’t mean it’s not possible.

  At the end of the day a glass screen will always be more scratch resistant than a plastic screen

  Scratching your phone with a really soft material is a very different situation than smashing it into the ground…

  How? That can go both ways, I can make some thing for €5000, but if nobody is willing to buy it, it’s still worthless

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Is Run By Fewer Than 80 Staff, Lawsuit Docs Reveal⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  the reason they exist is because people like you and me are paying more for things than they’re truly worth

  There is no true worth, worth is defined by how much people are willing to spend on something, doesn’t matter how much something costs to produce and distribute

  That’s a completely different application. You could try darktable, its free and open source and really good imo. A bit more complicated than lightroom for editing, but also more powerful (apart from ai features, which it lacks)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Nuclear launch detected....⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  For reference, earths escape velocity at the surface is about 11 km/s. I’m not sure how quickly the cap would slow down, but if it hadn’t been vaporised it surely would be orbiting the sun right now.

  Also, the escape velocity from the Sun at Earths distance would be 16.6 km/s on top of earths speed, so depending on the direction it could’ve escaped the suns orbit as well.

  But it was most likely vaporised
