The AI's having a hard time deciding what's inside the bird cage and what isn't, though it did better than I would've expected

Reminds me of my late grandmother's home. Not the stuffy, weird old people smell kind of place, but nice wood panelling, regal hardwood furniture, patterned wallpaper, trinkets, shells and geodes

My first thought too haha

I do see it on OnePlus though with all voice apps, including Google assistant. I think OxygenOS is not hiding it

Well, I was joking, but if we’re going to analyse it: up here in the cold parts, people avoid going outside much until summer comes around, because it’s cold and wet. We stay inside with our warmth, computers and TVs. In the warm parts, people enjoy the outdoors and the beach year round.

It's scary how accurate they can predict you with what data they have; they don't need to tap your microphone.

You're on a OnePlus; there's always a status bar icon if the microphone is active.

Think of what led to your conversation? Everything related to it you saw or searched online that could've later triggered you to talk about the subject, could also trigger them to serve you ads about it later. Perhaps your friend was the one, and the ad companies have linked you together, ie. by tracking your location and contacts.

And now you've noticed the adverts, you'll notice them much more, where you'd normally ignore them completely. Furthermore, if you noticed these ads, you might've clicked them or stopped scrolling and stared at them too long in a wtf moment and now the ad companies know, so they'll serve you a whole lot more of the same.

Also the heat distribution? People in hotter countries actually go outside?

They're hardly any more dangerous than a website. They're predominantly just more convenient to use regularly. Should we ban internet browsing too?!

Much like the words "fake steak" or "not really steak" wouldn't confuse me into thinking it was really real steak, just because the word "steak" is in there, "vegan steak" doesn't either, because I'm not incredibly stupid

Raise prices at peak times? ✅💰
Lower prices ever? ❌📈

Properly done dynamic pricing rewards customers with cheap prices for going at off-peak times, and the opposite on-peak. However this other form of "surge pricing" is really just price gouging under another label

So could it be plausible one day to run a RAM-less computer? If persistent memory speed matched DRAM speed, would there still be a benefit to distinguishing RAM from SSD, beyond cost?

I'm very saddened she shows these strong hateful opinions now. The books and films were so much a part of my childhood and I still really enjoy the whole world they've created. And watching her earlier interviews, she seemed like a nice, interesting, smart, softly spoken person, with a love for my city. Also through indirect personal relations, she was quite kind to us.

I find myself staring sometimes, but it's because:

• Things that move distract my attention.
• I've spaced out and didn't realise where my eyes were pointing.
• I'm trying to work out why you look so familiar, unsure if I know you.

I have a basic £30 (£50 post inflation) pop-up frisbee tent and it works just fine on its own in heavy rain. Water only gets in when the door is open. It really just needs to be double layered, taut and have a decent groundsheet, but that can all come built-in without needing to be expensive

When I was a kid and had nightmares often, I would wake up in the middle of the night in a fit of fear. I had to make sure I would stay awake just long enough that I wouldn't go back into the same nightmare again when I went back to sleep. It wasn't just possible, it was common

Yeah although misinformation is recently on the rise, there is that overabundance of information, I still feel like we're in perhaps the easiest era ever for verifying facts.

In the past when I called bullshit on my friend's factoids, there wasn't much I could do unless I went to a library and maybe there'd be a book on it, and I'd have not much choice but to trust that book. I believed so much nonsense people told me before that I can look up and discuss on a global knowledge in my pocket now, albeit requiring skill to do properly though

What are those crazy power sockets with so many pins and two different types right next to each other?!

It was also quite confusing as a Brit. Here a "vacation" is called a "holiday". And here the people are not so religious, Christmas is more often celebrated unreligiously now, saying Merry Christmas is not really an issue. The first time I heard "the holiday season", I presumed that meant summer, because people go away on summer holidays then.

Given:

• List of roll-on/roll-off vessel accidents
• Amphibious vehicles exist
• Cars have crashed into the sea

I would say you cannot exclude the ocean like that.
