Hate to say it, but if they do chop off Android, it can only become worse as it would now need to make loads of money or go under. Both of which would be terrible for any end user.

And if they bunch up google play together with Android, it would result in even tighter integration of the two, which is how Android got bad in the first place.

Have you heard about them bombing Lebanon yesterday though, or even for the last few months? It got a passing mention and only in the context of “this might cause Iran to respond”. And there’s a few more flags on that picture.

A few months ago I needed to install Google home for something Chromecast related, so I quickly searched the play store and installed it. Loaded it up and I see an ad, what the hell. App opens and I realise it isn’t Google Home, it’s something made to trick me into thinking it was when I wasn’t paying attention.

Google is letting their ads steal their own users from them.

Sir, permission to leave the station?
For what purpose Master Chief?
To give the Covenant back their bomb…

Haven’t seen this one mentioned yet.

Relevant XKCD.

Yeah, it seems the sensor costs as much as a decent used camera.

Games are already horifically inefficient

That’s so far from the truth, it hurts me to read it. Games are one of the most optimised programs you can run on your computer. Just think about it, it’s a application rendering an entire imaginary world every dozen milliseconds. Compare it to anything else you run, like say slack or teams, which makes your CPU sweat just to notify you about a new message.

What’s up with the abuse of the word open lately. I had a look at that project to see how they were doing the conversion, but I couldn’t find it. But I found this:

Short answer, yes! OpenScanCloud (OSC) is and will stay closed source…

Your data will be transferred through Dropbox and stored/processed on my local servers. I will use those image sets and resulting 3d models for further research, but none of your data will be published without your explicit consent!

I feel like I’d rather use Autodesk at that point. At least I know what I’m dealing with right out of the gate.

I remember people being upset by the ribbon back when office 2007 was released. Their complaints made sense until I sat down and used it. Found it to be a great improvement. I switched my libre office to the ribbon layout as soon as they added it. Because I don’t use it often, it’s great for finding stuff compared to looking through the menus.

The nice thing about the LO implementation is also that they added a couple of varieties of the design, like the compact one which pushes things closer together so it’s not distracting.
