They do need to look good on the Instagram reels that you make, where you publish every second of your utterly unremarkable infant’s life to random strangers on the internet in the hopes that your account grows large enough to make ad money.

The only reason I accept to not let these people pass is if it forces you do something unsafe, like throwing yourself over to the next lane and slamming on the brakes to match speed with the other cars. Otherwise just give them the lane and let them be a reckless ass somewhere else away from you. Safer that way. It’s not your job to enforce traffic rules.
I didn’t believe opinions could be wrong until I saw this
herrvogel@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•On July 7, Gemini AI will access your WhatsApp and more. Learn how to disable it on Android.English21·8 days agoPro tip: you can probably uninstall Gemini via ADB. Android won’t let you uninstall it using your phone’s UI, but since it’s just another package you can probably use the old ADB tricks to wipe it from your phone. Use your favorite search engine to figure out how, it’s not exactly a secret.
These are the tampons they stick into female bulls.
herrvogel@lemmy.worldto Mildly Infuriating@lemmy.world•The driver for my mouse occupies over 1 gbEnglish6·8 days agoNvidia drivers at least do something that are fairly complex and heavy, and they’re necessary. Whereas this thing is just some comically overdeveloped and extremely annoying piece of bloatware from Logitech to remap a bunch of buttons.
In 2023, the on-time arrival percentage of ICE trains was 60something%. That’s not exactly a number that screams reliability. I don’t remember the exact number DB had to pay out for delay compensations that year but it was an embarrassing sum. Just today 2 separate people in my group chat were saying unsavory things about DB’s mother because of 30+ minute delays on two separate ICE trains.
German trains being on time is a myth.

They said average speed. Those max speeds are only reachable along certain parts of the track, sometimes straight up unachievable between some stops. Mostly they travel well below their max speeds. I would not be surprised if the average speed is not that far from 150 for most of the lines they service, though I don’t have any numbers on hand.
herrvogel@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•We need to stop pretending AI is intelligentEnglish7·12 days agoIt is and it isn’t. Again, the whole thing is super vague. Machine vision or pattern seeking algorithms do not try to imitate any human behavior, but they fall under AI.
Let me put it this way: Things that try to imitate human behavior or intelligence are AI, but not all AI is about trying to imitate human behavior or intelligence.
herrvogel@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•We need to stop pretending AI is intelligentEnglish5·12 days agoLLMs are one of the approximately one metric crap ton of different technologies that fall under the rather broad umbrella of the field of study that is called AI. The definition for what is and isn’t AI can be pretty vague, but I would argue that LLMs are definitely AI because they exist with the express purpose of imitating human behavior.
I mean it makes a lot of sense. The distance on the map has a lot less relevance to my day to day life than how long it takes to travel it. That is true for any kind of transportation, so I don’t know what op means with that.
Eye contact is also common sense.That’s one good way of being sure the other person is aware of you and your vehicle.
I have a nothing phone. The glyphs were a neat gimmick the first few weeks I had the thing, but now I only use them as a softer flashlight. They just don’t really add much value to the thing.
Still like the thing very much though, overall.
Don’t talk to me or these ruins ever again
herrvogel@lemmy.worldto Privacy@lemmy.world•Smart TVs taking snapshots of your screen and phoning home - Is there a list of IP ranges to block?English11·20 days agoIt’s really not that hard. I never understood how people find it so difficult to understand.
Monitors are made to be viewed up close for the most part. And as such they don’t exist in TV sizes. There are a few, but they are super expensive.
Projectors suck. A good projector that gets close to the image quality of a decent TV will cost quite a lot. And the way they work, they don’t always work in every room.
Inb4 digital signage. They suck too. They’re made to be bright screens to be viewed outdoors or in bright large rooms and to be switched on all day. They don’t have image quality comparable to an actual TV because they aren’t made for image quality.
So yeah, if you want a large screen with good image quality to watch stuff on from your sofa 3 meters away, a TV is very very often your only realistic option. And since nobody makes a decent dumb TV anymore, you’re essentially stuck with smart TVs.
herrvogel@lemmy.worldto Technology@lemmy.world•WhatsApp is officially getting adsEnglish3·25 days agoOr they do switch but for like 1 day and then go back to messaging you on WhatsApp. I tried switching to signal at least a couple times, even convinced a couple groups to move, but not a single chat lasted more than a couple weeks. Eventually they all went back to WhatsApp. Every single one. It’s extremely difficult to get people to care.
I once saw a girl very abruptly stop walking on a rather busy street, throw herself down on a nearby bench in a hurry, take out her stuff from her tote bag and just start knitting with an oddly peaceful expression on her face as if nothing happened. I was left wondering what the fuck I just witnessed. Happened in the span of like 4 seconds.
Yes she was barefoot.
Which part broke exactly? Because I can confirm the one on my tablet, which I installed a long time ago, still works. Haven’t installed it on my current phone which I got not too long ago, so I’m wondering if it’s gonna be a problem.
I still use rif. You can get the app as an apk, and patch it to replace the original API key with your own using something like vanced. I already had my key from before the debacle, not sure how you get one these days. Anyway, it did give me some trouble while logging in, but eventually it worked.
How hard it’ll be depends on the provider. My provider’s customer support explicitly told me that it is technically allowed but it is their policy to offer absolutely no help with that whatsoever for “liability reasons”, and I’d be on my own if I got my router stuck in a misconfigured bridge mode where I can’t access any settings anymore to fix things. They also told me to find my subscriber credentials on my own if I wanted to use a 3rd party modem.
