If you read the article, it's more of an "it depends" answer.

Most phones have safety mechanisms built in to them to protect from things like overcharging or overheating during fast charging. They will also default to a low power charging state if it doesn't detect the correct signal from the charger.

There is a very rare possibility that a charger may not be grounded correctly and that's why it's recommended to stick with big brands if you're going with a 3rd party charger.

Probably "Trap Adventure 2".
Imagine an old Mario game where Bowser has the most rediculous traps set up. You need to memorize all of the trap locations as well as have the coordination to tip-toe around them to survive.

hmm doesn't seem to work for me.

Only thing that works is to manually re-select the keyboard among my keyboard selection/input method.

This has been driving me crazy.

I'm using a Pixel with GrapheneOS and the FUTO Keyboard.

Slight workaround for everyone on Android: Click the keyboard selector at the bottom right of your screen and just select the already active keyboard. This will temporarily fix it until you start to type up a different comment.

When you can get ticketed for speeding while your car is on the back of a tow truck:

Or a red light traffic ticket when your car was stolen:

And the police/courts won't help you because it's a problem from the private company running the cameras... I think we can see where some sort of AI backed camera network is headed.

A bandaid to fix this might be to setup an easy way for someone to dispute the charge. For every day that it takes the company to review the dispute, they would need to pay back the accused the same amount that they are charging them (with a minimum of paying them back twice the amount of the fine).

Even then, I'd rather cameras not be used in this way at all.

Just reported by Mohamed Aruham on Twitter

The oldest tweets I could find that actually started reporting this are from ~16 days ago.

They reference a page here that was posted on Aug 29th.

Depends on what you're using.
With local models you use something called a "negative prompt" to exclude anything that you don't want in the image.

If you really want this to work, you would have to train/fine tune a model by feeding it a bunch of images that show that person's handwriting.

if you're just asking ChatGPT to do this for you then you're doing it wrong.

Yeah until the cops pull you over and take your cash under civil asset forfeiture because it's "suspicious that you have so much cash on hand".

The features you miss out on would be direct deposit from checks and app notifications (usually there are a few that you want enabled but are only available through the app).

Good luck when banking apps start doing this.

Well, I don't think anyone is really sure just how exactly time travel can mess with stuff. I would probably take a page from some time travel movie I saw. I would want to avoid any sort of temporal paradox and avoid too many changes.

So, I would probably remove myself from the equation as much as possible. Go to a hotel or somewhere where I can avoid accidentally running into anyone I might know. Leave all electronics behind, but take a book or something. Spend the whole day avoiding TV/News/People and just reading or work on perfecting a skill. At the end of the day I would call up a broker from the hotel room and find out which stock had the greatest percentage gain that day. Just enough information for one good trade.

Then I would go back to that morning, buy up a ton of that stock, live out life normally, then sell the stock at the end of the day.

Rinse and repeat for a short time.

I would absolutely avoid something like winning the lottery, but for those of you who would use time travel to win the lottery, you might want to follow the advice from this comment here: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskReddit/comments/24vo34/whats_the_happiest_5word_sentence_you_could_hear/chb38xf/

 
 

I just noticed that crossposts like this one: https://lemmy.ca/post/23884170 do not show the text from the original post.

Viewing the crosspost on a browser displays it, but on Voyager it only appears if I click on the original post.

What's the reason for the empty comments, lately?

In the last few weeks, I frequently see some empty comments. It's just the username and no text beneath.

Is there a deeper reason behind this? Do people nowadays strip away the text instead of deleting a comment? Or did some script surface that 'makes the internet forget'? First I thought people did this before deleting a comment and the deletion just didn't get federated. But I scrolled through some older posts and they also still have comments like that, so that can't be it. Right?

Can anyone educate me?

 

Any other suggestions for things we can do to push back against Sony?

 

For those using ChatGPT, if anything you post is used in a lawsuit against OpenAI, OpenAI can send you the bill for the court case (attorney fees and such) whether OpenAI wins or loses.
