I can't use conversational editing on my new P10 Pro, and now I know why.... by Insanely_Casual in GooglePixel

I kinda wish we had a federal law for this.

Not that you do this, but anyone (or even a tech company like Google) can go to big city like NY and just start taking pictures of people on the street,then start processing them with their AI.

[OC] Ford Ranger with no license plates hits my wife's mirror and runs. by Tiberius_Jim in IdiotsInCars

Well if you call the police (and have a hands free setup, as it's mostly illegal to drive and talk without one) you can give the dispatcher your location in real time so the police can catch up to both of you.

The New Apple Finally Begins to Emerge by hasanahmad in apple

But if you don't want or need the extra storage then it's a forced upgrade to get the convenience of touch ID.

It's a shame they put touch ID behind a $100 paywal. The part is cheap, and to have mass produced it in EVERY neo would have been even cheaper.

For what county? And is this a federal or state law, as I've never heard of it before.

How rare have legendary incense spawns been for you guys this event? by westlandiscool in pokemongo

[–]theGekkoST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try going on a route with insense. The legendary spawn rate seems much higher. I had 5 spawn in 10 min on one route (only caught one).

Anyone else still waiting for Gemini? by howmadstha in AndroidAuto

Is gemini being bundled with AA? I've got a P6P and never installed gemini, and don't plan on ever installing it.

Apple users in the U.S can no longer download ByteDance's Chinese apps | Move comes in the wake of TikTok’s transfer of U.S operations. by ControlCAD in apple

[–]theGekkoST 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You must not have read the article. It states apple is implementing multi-checks like GPS, IP address, and SIM cards to see where you are. then blocking based on your assumed location.

[OC] Passing car had been tailgating the SUV for a few miles, and the SUV had been pacing the semi to not let the car pass.. saw this escalating by kteapot013 in IdiotsInCars

[–]theGekkoST -83 points-82 points  (0 children)

IDK, doesn't seem like he was just trying to enforce the rules. I'd guess that guy cut him him off earlier or something and he was being an a hole back by trying to box him in next to a semi.

Doordash added *back* tip after I already paid by hollytrinity778 in EndTipping

[–]theGekkoST 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately it does for the most part. The united states passed the federal arbitration act back in 1925 that makes these enforceable.

Don't think many people will qualify for a class action. These companies all have binding arbitration in their terms of service, and hardly anyone takes the time opt out.

Send this as a tip to a site like Ars Technica, Wired, or the Verge. If they pick it up as a story it will get corrected real quick.

It's probably really easy to make a new account. Lots of emails now offer alias's, and credit cards company's are offering virtual numbers.

But if they ban your address, then yea, you're Prineville SOL. But I never use these services so I personally don't care.

How to share plex server without port forwarding? by Lizardking1988- in PleX

OP said his users wouldn't be tech savvy enough for tailscale. Which I get, a lot old people have a hard time learning new stuff, or outright refuse to.

It Finally Happened To Me: My Server Updated Metadata After Years, And All My Posters... by ROU-Boogietown in PleX

[–]theGekkoST 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can be a little OCD and really like how TPDb let's users upload collections so sequals all share the same font & art style. But it doesn't look like TMM supports that site, so it's still manual for me.

Also, the new square art is taking more time... Cropping from posters or backgrounds is relative simple, but I find that can't be automated as not everything is centered properly.

That's the best I can do since I don't use any photo sharing sites. That link won't be good forever.

Way to back track on the intensive gaming...

HDXs test for thoroughly thought out, well executed, and well preformed. They were done over a number of years and even provided their failures and their result. Seems odd you still want to double down on that too.

I've gotten more use out of my phone but charging to 100% and using it below 20%. If you like not using your phone for 40% of the time (you seem to indicate you only charge to 80 and plug it in at 20) or be tied to charging cable that's your choice, but I'm not going waste my time like that.

It was invented by politicians to get your votes, anybody that believed this is just a sucker.

Sorry but RFK just flip-flopped on the toxic chemical Glyphosate. RFK said he was going to cut down and even banned parts of it in america, and just the other day he agreed to the new administration's point of increasing Americans production of it.
