To be fair, O2 has a massive issue with scammers and they need to do something about it. I switched to O2 about a year ago, keeping my old number. I’d rarely get scam calls or texts before I switched but since I’ve been with o2, I get 5-10 calls a week. Particularly annoying because I have to answer my phone due to my job

How does that work out in terms of energy consumption though?

If NVMe is at least 10x faster, but consumes 5x more power, it will use less energy to read or write the same amount of data overall.

Agreed about the data farming, but I would recommend reading this if you haven’t already. Not properly implementing the conventions is basically step 1 in that article.

But the dashboard looks like this

When they’ve reached end of life for the car, they are still useful.

EVs require high energy density so they get replaced when they don’t store enough energy for their weight. However for grid storage, weight doesn’t really matter (at least not as much) so a battery with 80% of its original capacity is a good (and cheap) solution.

When the market is mature, it will good for car owners who need to replace their batteries because the old one still has value.

I imagine this is how Apple would justify it - if there are internal screws or shields missing then it’s a sign that it has been repaired previously by a 3rd party. It might work fine, but it’s not to the original Apple specification.

The Apple store don’t want to take responsibility for those repairs so refuse to do further work in case it leaves them with liability.

I mean the idea for WEI is to combat bots and AI so it isn’t really surprising AI is going to be against it.

But seriously, Bard is just consolidating what it finds on the internet (it’s not intelligent), so all this really says is that there are plenty of web articles against AI in its search database.

I remember international flights that had several outside cameras, one looking slightly down and forward was the best by far, although most of the flight it was just clouds and during landing that one turned to face forward so you couldn’t see the runway. Haven’t seen them recently though.

91% on Chrome mobile behind PiHole. Fairly good for a minimum effort whole network solution.

Nobody’s mentioned it, but the main thing for me is that the screen aspect ratio isn’t any good.

I’ve always preferred bigger screens and bigger phones and willing to pay a bit extra for a foldable screen now they’ve been on the market for a while. I doubt they’ll last as long as a normal phone screen, but they generally review well and I get they impression they are more durable than most people expect.

But… the main benefit of a big screen (for me) is for watching videos. If it’s not 16:9 (or close to it) then what’s the point? I don’t need to multitask on my phone, I’ll switch to a laptop for that - I’ve had phones that do split screen for years and it was a cool gimmick for a while, but I’ve never really made good use of it.

If anyone can tell me of a phone with a big screen and 16:9 aspect ratio then I’d be willing to reconsider…
