  • Just a guess, but maybe they use AI to compare the live person's face to the photo on the ID to verify. Of course if they're comparing to the printed photo and not to a database photo linked to the ID, then the whole purpose of the machine is ill-conceived, as it could be bypassed with a fake ID.

  • Manhattan Prosecutors Agree to Delay Trump’s Sentencing
  • I don't fully understand. The Supreme Court has granted immunity for official acts performed as President. Aren't the charges for this case for actions from before his presidency, and therefore not subject to immunity?

  • Really popular ones too.
  • I can quote stuff from TV that aired in the late 90s, but I can't quote shit I watched last night. For me the distinguishing difference is smartphones. I don't have the attention span to give a TV show my undivided attention anymore, and I'm browsing on my phone while TV plays in the background.

  • Leading Democrats demand Alito face investigation after second report of far right-linked flag
  • Charge him with what, exactly? He has a first amendment right to fly whatever politically divisive flag he (or his wife if we're to believe him) chooses, just as anyone else does. As far as I'm aware, the Supreme Court still has no legally-binding ethics rules, so no matter how clear a bias he shows, there's no crime to prosecute. His recusal is at his sole discretion.

    I don't know if the legislative branch has the authority to codify a legally enforceable code of ethics that has some backbone, but even if they do I'm sure someone would fight it up to the Supreme Court where they'd just nullify it anyway.

  • A new Steam Deck rival is coming, and you’ll never guess who makes it [Antec] [expected price range $600~$900]
  • I didn't even realize Antec still existed. I knew them for their cases (I had the Twelve Hundred), but I haven't seen any build pics with their cases on Reddit/Lemmy for years. There was a year where it seemed like everyone was building in the Bitfenix Prodigy, then another where everyone was in the NZXT Phantom, then after that it's been mostly Corsair, Cooler Master, and Fractal. My last 4 have been Fractal.

  • Always happens
  • It's because as the hot air rises, cool air comes in from all sides of the fire. Your body blocks that air from one side, so the prevailing current of cool air feeding the fire is biased towards you and it carries the smoke with it.

  • which launcher would you suggest and why?
  • It's still there, and not because my phone is slow - even a brand new Pixel with no apps or Google account has this delay. It takes nearly 2 seconds to go home - long enough to make me question if I hit the home button.

    Pixel 6 Pro, in use since release... I don't have any noticeable delay. Pressing the home button (I have 3-button navigation instead of gestures), the transition from foreground app to Nova home screen I'd estimate to be under 1/4 second. Feels pretty instantaneous.

  • which launcher would you suggest and why?
  • I landed on Nova back in 2013 because it allowed me to assign secondary app shortcuts to icons on my dock that are accessed by swipe-up gestures. My hotbar has:

    • phone, but swipe up for contacts
    • messages, but swipe up for Gmail
    • music player, but swipe up for YouTube
    • Firefox, but swipe up for clock app

    Haven't paid any attention to any newer launchers.
