This has to do with Surrey being a large population centre and thus needing to find their own police force. They started it, then tried to back out.

Google One gives you an itemized look at what is using your storage space. All of the Google Apps are represented, device backups, and individual apps that are using Drive for storage too. I'd presume it would point you in the right direction, without needing to manually download everything and sift through.

TL;DR: Samsung is better, according to the author.

Some questions remain though, as Google's Magic Eraser gives multiple options for object removal. Some are quite bad or blotchy, others are nearly seamless. Don't like any of the options it's provided, then ask it to try again. The author doesn't touch on this at all. Did they select the first option everytime? Was this the best of the options they were provided?

I enjoy how this comment seems to counter what another commenter said about you.

It's hardly a smear to point of a bias or perspective you hold. I'm not commenting on you, your politics, or worldview. Just pointing out that others should do their own research.

But if that is smearing in your perspective, and that makes me a 'lib', alright.

I agree with you. Disagreement in views isn't a comment about an individual themselves.

That doesn't change a pattern of posting and comments that are distinctly pro-Russian, pro-China.

Just be aware this poster is often posting pro-Russian, pro-China content. There's value in other points of view and not being myopic, but if you pay attention to posting trends or look at their history, there is a clear bias and/or agenda.

Here's the actual run, no fluff: https://youtu.be/Qm9aT2p7KxI

They refused to send a model and asked him not to review until the new software was out. So they knew. He bought one anyway.

But man would a Team Fortress 3 be welcomed. Like running a franchise into the ground, the lack of levity in games nowadays is sorely lacking.

👍 Precisely.

Don't encourage the behaviour. As the saying goes... Give a man a fish and you've fed him for a day... Teach a man to fish and you've fed him for life.

This a huge step back for transparency with Meta (shocker). Access to this data is important for a variety of reasons, and using the recent EU laws as an excuse is deplorable (again, shocker from Meta).

It's clear the data companies were left alone for too long to rule the schoolyard. It's going to take some time to treat them and others what decorum looks like without throwing an absolute hissy fit.

Here's hoping the EU, which seems to be the only teacher on the playground willing to discipline anyone, will set them straight.

This should be a setting under "Cast Options" in Google Play Services options. At least that's where that generic notification is on my Pixel.

Won't affect your "direct" casting, like Spotify, just the generic broadcast, without turning off the per device options.

I've turned off the broadcast on every device in my world, because I found it obnoxious.

Yes? Baldur's Gate 3 would like a word.

This article is real clickbait.

7%. That's the gains on AMDs new APU. You're going from 48 to 51 FPS.

What's impressive to me is how efficient Valve and AMD got the custom APU that it's taken this long to catch up. The next generational leap will be worth it, but talk to me when we're looking at 25-50% gains. Then you'll be looking at having a real upgrade cycle.

The secret sauce is in the whole package. SteamOS, the controls, and the form factor.

Really enjoyed the demo. 19 CAD is a little steep for what it appears to be though on my end. Looking forward to picking this up on a sale when it's 50% off.

The posterdb was never an automatic source for Plex. They pull from thetvdb/themoviedb. Sometimes there is overlap if someone has uploaded their posters to those sources, but often not.

You have to manually add the posters from the posterdb via link or uploading it to Plex yourself.

Why?

Theposterdb has stated they needed to transition their payment provider, and it didn't make sense to keep incurring costs until that was complete. The reason is right out in the open.

Worth reading the article to see the mindset of the team. Hopefully the break will be good for rest, and not have them coming back too rusty.

I think you may be confused as to who you're responding to. I'm reading some outrage in your response that is directed towards others and their statements, nothing that I've written or believe.

There's no argument to be made. A (good) translator into another language with take into account the intent of the original language and translate it into a comparative version. That can mean changing stories, or idioms that no longer land in the new language.

I'm not the person who made any claim about reading speeds, and I would disagree wholeheartedly with that baseless statement.

Translation isn't a 1 to 1 process. Every language has difference, idioms, etc. My understanding is that sign language is no different.

The translator makes choices to convey meaning, as well as the literal sense.

Would you rather watch content in your native language, or subtitled? If you read translated content, it's fine. But it's not the same as hearing something performed for you. Might be hard to grasp if your language is largely auditory and written, rather than visual and emotive.

Just because sign language is a visual language, does not mean reading is an equivalent. There is a ton of nuance and feeling that goes into communicating through sign language that is not possible through text alone.

Beyond the communication piece, there is respect of an individual who natively speaks a language, and the importance of keeping the language alive.

Oh yes -- I have experience with plenty of mental health calls. Just because it's policy doesn't mean it gets followed.

It's also a general policy that a domestic violence call will always receive a visit. Even if there is a call to cancel it. The risk is too high of an abusers influence for the police to not visit and clear the scene.

So it's good the SIU is looking into what happened here.

I keep seeing "Monopoly" repeated, but I'm having a hard time understanding the logic.

They haven't bought competitors. They don't do anything to hinder others progress in this market, sometime to the detriment of their customers (see: Steam launches another launcher, to launch the game). They haven't openly shown anything anti-competitive, in fact they have stuck to their guns (30% cut) when others have attempted to compete.

What they have done is cultivate the best platform that continues to evolve, add features, and maintain stability. Consumers continue to choose to use Steam overwhelmingly, but outside of Valve's own games, there is no threat of exclusivity or punishment.

It's the opposite of monopolistic behavior. Any company is free to compete, build their own platform, and offer software. It's expensive, and tricky to get right, but nothing is stopping them, Valve included.

Someone give this writer a raise for not using AI to describe a new algorithm.

I've been eyeing Spider-Man Remastered for awhile, but never pulled the trigger due to price and the amount of time I have. I'd love to explore that world though!

Thanks so much for doing this.

Beyond a few news articles in there, that actually looks surprisingly balanced.

In my experience it's the inbox/YouTube where it really gets into it. Subscribing to some of these "alternative news" sources brings a deluge of patently false information with dangerous spin to it.

I'd imagine it's scant on details because it's still a theory. The next phase of the competition is funds to build a proof of concept.

Wireless switches — consisting of a transmitter on the switch and a receiver near a light fixture or other appliance — have been around for many years, and have been proven that they can reduce the material and labour cost for wiring houses, says Kambiz Moez, director of electrical engineering in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, but they require batteries to operate.

So the product already exists, what is novel here is a concept to harvest RF energy I stead of batteries.

Neat technology, but nonsense title. The Stethoscope is rarely used for something as specific as the heartbeat anymore. Listening to various body systems, though? That's where it finds use.

Are the lungs congested? Confirming what the sinus rhythm is showi?

Computers, for all their advancements are still diagnostic tools that need confirmation. They still give off false positives and miss things.

Yes, it talks about ownership, because the original poster talked about ownership.

Google hosts files, and thus needs to have some semblance of control over what actually is hosted on it, or they become liable for the same content.

Pirated material? Child pornography? etc. It all needs to be scanned and determined if it violates rights/laws and be dealt with.

Google has always done this automatically, because the sheer scale of content they host is overwhelming.

I totally understand the 'own everything' mentality that some hold. That's fair -- then host it yourself, encrypt it, and you can hold the key to your little kingdom. For most people, that isn't a factor.

To get back to the original claim -- they don't claim rights over what you post. It is yours. You just can't host other people's stuff. The definition of that is incredibly broad and largely commercial. 99% of people will never, ever run into the issue. 99% of the remaining 1% will discover it innocently (such as another poster trying to back up office). The remaining will already be versed enough to encrypt their data locally before uploading.

It was... Once upon a time. Now those who drink coffee largely regard it as brown, burnt water.

Tim Hortons was once a magical place that lives up to the nostalgia fuel marketing that drives the franchise to this day. Every single store has actual bakers on staff who made the pastries, the coffee was genuinely fresh, and it seemed like staff were valued.

Then it got sold to the investment bankers and franchise conglomerates. It's been min/maxed to death, whittling down every cost to the bare minimum. Things taste like cardboard, and people go because it's there.

Interestingly enough, when McDonald's moved into the coffee game, they picked up the bean contract that Tim Hortons held for eons. Tim's dropped it for cost, and not an insignificant amount of people swapped over to McDonald's for their coffee.

It's articles like this that make me glad there are numerous horses in the race.

Autonomous driving is an incredibly complex problem. We have people like Musk who thought they could throw money at the problem and have it solved in a few years, with disastrous results.

We've lost Uber, and Cruise is flagging. Both had been touted as examples to follow. Both have had some serious safety problems from moving too quickly and lacking caution.

Behind all of this is Waymo. Plodding along, gathering vast amounts of data and experience and iterating slowly.

I think they, out of all these players, understand the stakes at hand, and the potential profit on the other end. But you have to get it right. It has to be nearly perfect, because people need to trust it, and our emotions are fickle.

I don't see what's so aggressive about this? They make money by holding your money. It's in their best interest to incentivize people putting more money with them.

I've gotten one notice that this was happening.

Seems like business doing what a business should to grow.
