The LG concept one I saw that had this, just had enough cameras where there was no way you could put something in without it seeing the QR and scanning it automatically.

It’s a QR code and not rfid.
I’m not saying this is for everyone, I’m saying that’s a feature that could be handy for certain use cases where people need such assistance in their life.

The one smart feature I could see being nice is inventory tracking.
There’s some new regulation incoming in the EU where they’re doing QR codes on products with the price and also expiry date. A fridge that scans my milk carton as I put it in and then also knows the expiry date would be neat.
I don’t see this as something I could ever need, but for old people or people with various potential medical issues? Could have its use.
- Comment on Steam Hardware [new Steam Controller, Steam Machine, and VR headset Steam Frame, coming in 2026] 1 week ago:
And: "cheaper than the index“ Sure that only means less than 1000usd (unless they mean the headset only price at 500…?) but that’s still better than I was assuming it’d be.

I hope you seek and get the help you need with your paranoia.

Almost as if small niche communities attract the same type of people, with similar interests and problems. Surely couldn’t be that.

I’m sure that’d work on some humans too.
- Comment on turing completeness 1 week ago:
Even the first version of ChatGPT passed turing tests.
It takes surprisingly little for an LLM to make natural language responses that are indistinguishable from a human. Especially when factual accuracy was never part of it.

Sad that you’re getting downvoted for this joke, it gave me a good nose exhale.

To be fair just mentioning nuclear power at all in a lot of Europe makes some 60+ year olds scream about it being the worst thing ever

In my defence I was drunk.

The mod adds well, extreme violence. It lets sims murder other sims in various ways (also adds non-deadly violence)
You can make it so only specific sims you’ve enabled it for can do it, and you can make said sims do the violence out of free will.
The clown was probably placed in the neighbourhood in its own house, set to high free will, and high violence. Then the player went and played with their own family of sims.
Then if the clown ever came to visit (other sims in the neighbourhood will sometimes just show up to visit you) it’d start murdering. Events like a wedding usually invites everyone in the neighbourhood, so the clown showed up and started doing violence.

I checked the play store, the link is a clickable hyperlink.
So yeah, link to full changelog should be the gold standard then. (And including as many changes as fits ofc)
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 1 month ago:
Oh ok, I just know it was frowned upon before.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 1 month ago:
No links allowed last time I checked.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 1 month ago:
The hope is that its at least better than nothing and at least available at all.
It’s especially better than the cringe attempts at being funny or cute.
- Comment on Updates that don't tell me what is being updated 1 month ago:
I 100% agree that proper changelog should be provided, but to defend devs a litte, the play store changelog character limit makes it almost useless for anything but very small changes.
Though doing funny haha in the changelog is so dumb, they should be like “this changelog field can’t handle the changes, please see the changelog inside the app”

Half an hour and no upvotes on this great comment? What has this world come to when people aren’t upvoting Life of Brian gifs?

I live in the arctic, we had 3 weeks over 30c this summer.
The first two weeks of September were all over 20c. Normal high for these two weeks is 8.8c.
Snow would usually sit around until late April/ early May. The last 4-5 years it’s been gone early April at the latest.

Cloudflare announced their paid AI scraping service at the same time as they blocked AI scrapers.
Though at least they revenue share with content owners… Assuming said content owners are in paid cloudflare plans, abs opt-in.

I like using Google as a term for search to annoy Google.
So I’ll tell someone to use DDG to Google it
Or Google something on youtube
Or Google something on Facebook

I does! It also reduced heavy metal levels.
Thankfully the bad type that shouldn’t be your blood, and not the cool type that should be playing on your speakers.

- Comment on Mastercard release a statement about game stores, payment processors and adult content 3 months ago:
From what I understand it wasn’t actually mastercard and visa?
Itch statements made it very clear the issue was PayPal and Stripe.
Steam even disabled PayPal payments for a while, a couple days before the purge. While direct card payments with Visa/Mastercard still worked fine.
- Comment on New Android POS at work has 4 notifications but I can't clear them because their MDM locks the notification bar. 3 months ago:
I’d be surprised if you’d be able to install shizuku and canta on a POS terminal, even more surprised if you could enable adb to give shizuku privileges.
- Comment on The struggle 3 months ago:
I assume this was the same incorrectly reported news as elsewhere in Europe.
An big batch of these were missing an EU-compliant warning about the level of spicyness, and was recalled to have a sticker put on to rectify this.
This was then ofc reported as “noodles too spicy for sale” because that gets more clicks.
