I love my 9 pro! The size is perfect, and i didn’t have to sacrifice on camera this time.

If you’re buying on ebay and use PayPal, PayPal provides the consumer protection. That’s been my experience anyway.
- Comment on Why do so many UK electrical sockets have an on/off switch next to them? 3 weeks ago:
It’s easier to flip the switch to turn it back on than to fumble with the plug. You can get a variant without the switches if you don’t like, or simply leave the switch always on.

“adding a feature” = “forcing”
The profile image is still there, right beside the gemini button, and you can still swipe on it.

You mean you still need a dongle for the dongle?
- Comment on Look Ma, No Batteries! Hands On With Lenovo's Self-Charging Keyboard 1 month ago:
Too bad usb ports have mostly disappeared from laptops, so Bluetooth is the only way. Unless they started making usb dongles?

Cats can be affectionate. They provide entertainment too. I like it when my cat Somes to sit on my lap when I’m reading a book, or snuggled up i bed when it’s cold at night.
I admire dog people for being able to give their pets all the attention they need, go for walks, clean after them. some times I don’t have the time to give enough attention to my cat when he wants to play.

The times doesn’t pay you royalties for your book sales, and it doesn’t cost you anything. They also detect if someone is messing with the system and display a dagger symbol if you are found to inflate your numbers.

The crime isn’t in publishing AI music. The crime was that he setup fake listeners streaming his songs so he could get royalties and inflate popularity. Initially he published his own songs, but to scale up and avoid detection he started creating music at scale - That’s where AI Comes in.
Smith’s scheme, which prosecutors say ran for seven years, involved creating thousands of fake streaming accounts using purchased email addresses. He developed software to play his AI-generated music on repeat from various computers, mimicking individual listeners from different locations. In an industry where success is measured by digital listens, Smith’s fabricated catalog reportedly managed to rack up billions of streams.
- Comment on Was browsing through the Immich cursed knowledge library. This is quite interesting. 5 months ago:
I’m also worried that this is why gallery apps would require GPS location just for viewing photos (and their Metadata). Once gallery app has the permission, it can track your location in real time. It’s like this should be a separate permission rather than bundled together.
