Maybe you could post your unwanted political opinions somewhere else?

This article is kind of one-sided – it consistently makes claims and then has to admit, in brackets, that Lotus disputes them.

Does Wallet support dynamically changing barcodes yet? (Couldn’t find in top commented here) I used to work in mTicketing and this was a real security blocker for scanning tickets in places with poor internet connectivity.

I have a memory of a Spectrum game playing some sort of synthesised speech through the speaker that seemed incredibly ahead of its time. I believe the game was called iBall. And the sample said something like “Fight iBall!” Have I misremembered that? Was this a fever dream?

I would have thought it was just part of a free democratic process, surely? Unless your goal is to suppress all discussion of whether a sitting president has merit, which starts to sound a little bit commie to me…

I am super confused. Is this nothing to do with Unreal? I was assuming an MCP agent for creating rendered worlds for games etc.

In my experience the latest models actually do a pretty good job of spotting undefined behaviours, picking sensible defaults and flagging these.

This is a fantastically well observed comment. My org is starting to get obsessed with non engineers vibe coding their own software and I’m starting to see these inabilities to stop and make those key decisions on requirements every single day.

I’m not convinced that this is a particularly scientific or rigorous test of the cameras! Seems rather lacking in control variables, documented processes, actual measurements etc.

Don’t worry, you don’t need to attack them – they do a great job of making themselves look ridiculous with their ignorant conversation. I would be so embarrassed if I had suggested that in public then subsequently discovered that the header doesn’t mean that at all.

I would say that the antithesis of this would be something like the Zelda Breath of the Wild. Sure, it doesn’t have the far reaching “million planets in a galaxy” thing going on, but it’s still vast for the purposes of being able to wander around for days. And, as you are discovering new towns, hills, fields, woods, cliffs and so on, it never begins to feel dull or repetitive. Because pretty much every inch of that map has been handcrafted by a team of dedicated humans. Obsessed with making it beautiful, perfect, varied and interesting throughout.

This is likely a technical limitation rather than a preference; with the requirement to be so thin, there is probably not enough room for the necessary depth scanning hardware required for Face ID.

I mean sure that makes sense - but the OP isn’t even getting any information to confirm or deny this. If that’s the case Google should explain the issue.

Ahh that’s great - been waiting for something that works with my firmware for my LG TV (a C1). Any idea, once rooted, what commands I can run just to disable all the ads, bloatware and spyware?

I don’t think there will be any confusion. Clearly this is not referring to this random new Twitter thing you’ve linked to that most people have never heard of, it is referring to Twitter the previously global piece of software with hundreds of millions of former users.
