that’s hilarious, which language is it?

Americans getting dumber and dumber over the years. i thought the “stupid white men” era was the peak, but i stand corrected

passporn has a nice ring to it. wank wallet also comes to mind.

there’s a software package floating around to hijack drones and remote control them yourself. it might be time to test the drone’s security capabilities

I’ve tried both CalyxOS and GrapheneOS, since I’ve had a Pixel already. I don’t consider one “better” than the other.

Calyx is based on LineageOS, so you get a wider range of devices and functionality. It uses microG, which works great as long you don’t use any apps with IAP.

GrapheneOS’ play service sandbox can handle the case though, so I went with that, not being able to live without MacroDroid pro. Plus I like they got rid of Google location services altogether, and functionality-wise I’m not missing anything either.

Other people will have other priorities or preferences when it comes to their devices. Use whatever tickles your pickle.

your ability to speak Italian would be impaired but you could still get a small phone that can be used with one hand

what if you’re autistic?

what’s a good alternative if one’s using GMaps mainly for travelling instead of navigation (i.e. looking up nearby restaurants and getting reviews, public transport, attractions and their opening hours, etc.)?

debrid is basically “cloud torrenting”, a server torrents the files and you download them from there. extremely useful if you live in a jurisdiction where p2p filesharing is illegal.

stremio is a netflix-like video player app, torrentio an addon that let’s you crawl torrent sites and stream stuff via debrid.

my go-to setup is

• chromecast with googletv 4k

• alldebrid membership (€3 a month)

• stremio app + torrentio addon

as someone who has played around with offline speech recognition before - there is a reason why ai assistants only use it for the wake word, and the rest is processed in the cloud: it sucks. it’s quite unreliable, you’d have to pronounce things exactly as expected. so you need to “train” it for different accents and ways to pronounce something if you want to capture it properly, so the info they could siphon this way is imho limited to a couple thousand words. which is considerable already, and would allow for proper profiling, but couldn’t capture your interest in something more specific like a mazda 323f.

but offline speech recognition also requires a fair amount of compute power. at least on our phones, it would inevitably drain the battery
