Well, people tend to like to know who is entering their private property.

Or are there cameras watching who is entering your public parks and shit? I have cameras on my house, so people don’t need to enter if it makes them uncomfortable, but it’s handy for when people try to snoop when I am not around. Neighbours have stolen things in the past, even though it’s a tight knit community.

Have also provided the footage to police to prove that said neighbor who stole stuff assaulted another neighbor in the street since the camera covers the driveway.

It only takes one asshole to justify cameras.

I would probably choose my favourite movie in SD, a few dozen of my favourite songs, a few dozen old school games, and then fill out the rest with a few hundred ebooks.

Variety can be way more valuable than pure quantity.

My first thought was people giving birth to unplanned babies since October is 9 months after Valentine’s day.

It’s only a matter of time before Google doesn’t give you directions for the shortest and most efficient route, but rather plans your route to send you past the stores that pay the most in advertising.

“You could get to your destination by going down smith street fastest, but Glover Street has McDonald’s so we will send you down that road”

It shows little popup logos on the screen where the places are located, like a McDonald’s logo a few street over as you are driving by in your commute. I had it show me a Toyota logo for a Toyota dealership yesterday. Like, why do I need to know there’s a Toyota dealership there unless I’m specifically searching for it? Toyota probably paid them to show up a certain amount of times.

I view phoning someone like popping over to their house and knocking on the door to chat with no prior warning. No one likes that.

the entirety of people’s sensitive private information in centralized databases controlled by the government, and on people’s phones, “client-side.”

But things like drivers licenses are already held in government controlled databases? I don’t see the issue.

Are they attempting to do away with physical cards or add the functionality of people being able to store them digitally on their phone?

I can see it being a possible issue if they are trying to get rid of the cards completely, since you may not always have your phone on you and charged, but if it’s just adding the ability to have a digital card as well I don’t see the issue.

Article isn’t opening for me.

I don’t even understand why I need to make a password for some sites anymore. They send a code to my phone everytime.to make.sure it’s me so it seems like there’s practically no point.

Because that’s where they trick you. They sell you something as if it’s a good deal when really it’s not, and they make a ton of money by selling the same thing to 50 other people.

You need to book it because you are not the only person who “owns” it. Many people do, and usually you can only book like 1-2 weeks a year or something.

Despite paying the full price of an apartment you’re only really buying 1/52 of an apartment

Plus they have you pay a bunch of maintenance fees which can be a few hundred to thousands a year.

Biology, unless you go into health related stuff.

Not the original you replied to. And I had a typo when trying to spell typo 😂 just adding to the conversation. Wasn’t disputing you, just meant the may have meant refresh rate instead of resolution. Easy mistake. It’s still quite disputed how well eyes can tell the difference in refresh rates.

I imagine it was a typo*, but this article in Nature reports that in specifics circumstances the median maximum that people can perceive a difference may be around 500hz, with the maximum in their test possibly being as high as 800hz.

Normally though it seems closer to 50-90hz, but I’m on the road and haven’t delved too deeply into it

Edit: Type to Typo

I quite liked it, don’t usually like musical shows but the tunes are catchy and somewhat funny sometimes

A lot of times that’s where people cross the street. Want people to stop before the spot people might step out into.

I have three. The third doesn’t really boost my productivity much, I have it vertical just to show my file browser because I open and switch through different files quite a lot. The other two are to show the actual files I’m working in or comparing.

Personally I don’t even subscribe to any. I just browse all and then filter out any community that pops up which I don’t think I’ll ever be interested in.

I started to subscribe to a few but when browsing subscribed only I felt like I was potentially missing so much, because maybe I subscribed to the wrong “aww” instance but I also didn’t want to go through and find the 3-4 different versions to subscribe to.

This way I see everything, except the stuff that I definitely don’t want to see (like most of the porn instances, non-english instances, etc.)

I’m a biologist, but have always been fairly techy in my own time outside of my work. Definitely not much of a tech person though, I can’t code or anything like that. Can troubleshoot most of my own technical issues though and built a PC.
