I had an Pixel 9 Pro with the ultrasonic sensor and I found that it wouldn't work at all with a tempered glass screen protector. The optical sensor they had for previous generation sort of works fine with a screen protector

While it is true that hard drives have large amount of storage, it is unlikely that are any Mac with a 36TB hard drive attached that needs to overcome WiFi time limit.

I think designers will end up needing to work with an existing LLM or even provide their own LLM to get developers to adopt a new language/library/feature. The market has been heading in that direction for a while now, with developers expecting official docs and tutorials.

I would prefer to be told that my battery is weak so I could make a decision on if I want to replace the battery, replace the phone, live with the phone shutting down randomly when battery is low, or continue with a slower phone. That's just me.

It's good to know they have brought in new talents.

Note that Mozilla Corporations, Mozilla Ventures, and Mozilla.ai mentioned in the articles are all subsidiaries of Mozilla Foundation. If there are issues with the subsidaries' leadership, they could be easily removed by the foundation. If there are issue with Mozilla foundation's leadership then, according to the bylaws, it's not possible for the foundation's board to be removed unless they self remove.

Section 3.3 Election Of Directors, Term. All directors of the Foundation shall be elected annually by the Board of Directors and shall hold office until their respective successors are elected and have qualified, or until their death, resignation or removal.

Section 3.5 Removal. Any director may be removed from office, with or without cause, by the vote of a majority of the other directors then in office.

There is no way for anyone to get Mozilla to change because the current board picks new board members.

According to the page, with M3 Expressive, Time to first fixation is .65s for 18-24 year old, 0.93s for 25-45 year old, and 0.81s 45+ year. It doesn't make intuitive sense that 45+ year old are now faster than their younger group.

Sure, but parallel to the mobile device (featurephone) ecosystem, there was also the old smartphone ecosystem which grew out of the PDA market where you could install your own program without paying the middleman. I would argue that modern day smartphone is more similar to the old smartphones than the featurephones.

Microsoft word also auto inserts em-dashes through.

I made an observation that, as a company grows, there are more opportunities for increasing revenue from the business side than from the technical side.

Technical is important, but just saying that it is easier for the business side to toot their horn.

The technical cofounder becomes less important as the company grows through.

I remember Facebook group - somewhere in the early 2010s, the group feature disappeared. Years later, group appeared again and I had to re-apply to get back into the group. Perhaps group was killed to boost public sharing.

Yes, it is really up to Adobe's marketing team to make sure that customers are not misunderstanding the plan. If the misunderstanding continues, then the government might end up stepping in.

Those of us working in jobs use the same couple of functions in our office products. We don't really go and find features.

In the 90s, Windows was simple enough that I was able to read tech articles and understand a lot of what is going on inside, up to the point of Windows 2000, and to a certain extend, Windows XP. That completely changed with Vista/7 where I can no longer recognize the name of many processes that are running or understand what actions/situations make my computer lag.

Nowasdays, even through I don't worry anymore as Windows 11 is happy as long as you give it a quadcore cpu, ram, and an SSD, sometimes I still wonder why it writes 40GB to the SSD everyday.

I am slightly older and I don't really remember very much from around when I started work after graduating. It's kind of sad that works consume a lot of my time but I have no memory to show for it.

Could you tell me what companies did the same thing in the mobile phone industry? Did those companies notify the user?

I felt that Westwood's strategy games were built around their single-player campaign experience. As a result, their story, FMV, and gameplay were designed to support that focus. The simplity meant that players could get into the game easily.

However, this also meant that the gameplay wasn't well-suited for deep strategy or multiplayer, which was what RTS ended up being about down the road.

Likely to make it simple for retailers to accept euro. Making it exactly two means the retailers would lose money on the exchange spread. Another example is with 1 hkd = 0.97 mop.

Single HTML file conjures up memories of certain Windows software of the 90s where it's a single .exe, installer-free program. It could be copied onto a floppy and run on my school's computer.

We are definitely coming at this from a different angle.

Imo it should be the school's responsibility to stick a notice on the classroom itself or at least send an email, rather than expect each and every student to check an app every day. I hadn't been a high school student in a while through.

Anyone else noticed the extra green dot in the pink (fifth from the top) image?

It's not exactly new social media product, but Facebook did add messaging to their then Facebook app, build up usage of messaging itself (network effect within the user's friend list), and then split it off into its own Messenger app. They are sharing the same Facebook login through.

In official scrum, the development team could choose to accept substitution. It looks like the GP's case, they are obligated to accept substitution.

> On a first order analysis, Qualcomm doesn't want good x64 support, because good x64 support furthers the lifetime of x64, and delays the "transition" to ARM.

The logical thing for Qualcomm in their current market share to do is to implement TSO now, then after they get momentum, create a high-end/low-end tier, and disable TSO for the low-end tier to force vendors to target both ARM/x68.

What Qualcomm is doing now makes them look like they just don't care.

How I missed the frame component in modern day applications. They all seem to think that a bold heading and some extra whitespace at the end is sufficient to group things together.

Until we could tap into your optical nerve or directly into your brain, the monitor is the closest we could get.

This is basically an offer to buy your business for $0 and we might hire you as a contractor. It's a bad deal. I mean Jimmy Wales himself wouldn't have accepted this for Wikipedia.

Android has the appearance of an open platform that could accommodate alternate app stores, and so the court comes by with an order to allow alternate app stores. IOS never had the appearance of an open platform, so the court does not have the opportunity to do the same thing.

What's the lesson for future leaders in tech companies?
