This guy's worst take yet
So the studio behind Senua's Sacrifice made a mocap headset that is like the iPhone face ID on steroids. The character on the left is the most realistic copy of the WOMAN who voices Senua in the game.

You sound like all the cowardly cops. If you can't handle a non lethal situation like this with your tazer: find another job.

For-profit Pie Adblock (from the founder of Honey) called out for copying uBlock Origin open source code without credit

There is a difference between "free & open source" and "free because you don't pay with money".
The first means it can be peer reviewed by anyone to make sure they aren't doing anything shady.

Biometrics are fine, just use lockdown of you get pulled over or are going throgh TSA.
You can still activate the camera/camcoder by double tapping power on a Pixel even in lockdown.

AI editing tools are coming to all Google Photos users
So what we knew all along... It was possible to do these not-so-processor-intensive tasks on older pixels and other devices after all.
I hate that Google artificially limits these features to new phones. The only reason I've stuck with pixel this long is their call assistant to answer then decline spam calls without having to notifying me.

Bulldoze it, it's her land right?.

Apple Confirms Governments Using Push Notifications to Surveil Users

Um no, the FBI used software developed by an Israel based company to hack into it. This is well documented. Isreal has been creating and selling iPhone hacking software to nation states for years. They also sold out to the Saudi's who used to it to track and kill the American resident Jamal Khashoggi.

AMC Theaters suck
Reply in thread
I stopped going to movies after covid, but i was at one movie whereca fight broke out in that exact scinario. A group showed up right as the previews were ending to find other people had taken their seats. Its escalated where the girls were physically fighting and the manager had to break them up.
AMC restarted the movie and gave everyone a free ticket to another movie after this 2 girls were escorted out.

You can use it even if you only have a few. Seems like a nice visual tool to keep track of what you have. And makes a good reminder to cancel one of you haven't used it in a while.

Teacher who resigned after her OnlyFans page was discovered says new employer fired her for violating social media policy

Lots of teachers are part of a union. There's no mention of it in the article that I see, but union workers tend to be a little bit more protected than at will workers.

OR... if you can keep the wheels spinning really fast, you could "drift" the trolly, keeping a set of wheels on each track and kill everyone on both tracks into infinity.

Chat Control 2.0: EU governments set to approve the end of private messaging and secure encryption
Would a way to legally bypass this be an app that can "encrypt" your text before your send it. The government would be able to see all of your messages but it would be scrambled in a way that they couldn't read it.
Something where both people would install the same text scrambling app and generate the same key to scramble all text (would need to do in person). They would then type all their text into the app and it would scramble it. The user would then copy The Scrambled text and send it over any messaging platform they want. The recipient would need to copy the text and put it back into the scrambling app to descramble it.

Tech sites have said that Mozilla probably has their native version already done so it's ready day 1.
But these new rules by apple might put a damper on them actually offering it. Mozilla is a non profit, and apple is going to require a $0.50 tax on every app "for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold".
I just don't see how how Mozilla could carry that cost considering they are at over 100 million installs on Android alone.

You need a tripod or something to rest the phone against. The prompt to take an astrophotography photo doesn't come up until the phone had been held VERY still for 5-10 sec.

Colorado moves age checks from websites to operating systems
Are they going to require PC, Mac & Linux as well? And how would they enforce that? If not, this bill has such a giant loophole it's not worth taxpayers time.
