Snowden got into action because he believed that the US was fundamentally good and needed to get back on track. Over the past 12 years, in the US and around the world, this belief completely vanished. Whatever remains…
The problem here is an information imbalance between seller and buyer. This could be solved via regulation (unlikely to happen in the US). Another solution would be independent testing labs / publications. To stay…
This is the same position of Yuval Noah Harari in his recent Economist interview: The ones in power (Musk etc.) try to frame the bad AI future as inevitable, instead of shouldering responsibility.…

The trigger email should obviously go to somebody with more power than a police officer (so that the fear of getting asked ugly questions might slightly intimidate the police officer). Not sure who exactly that somebody…
Or even create new platforms where we're not bound by platform owners' imposed artificial limitations.
This seems to be part of a type of brand marketing where a brand claims it has invented something, but the only thing that ever exists of significant economic value is the attention raised by the promo video / article.…
Well there was ZCam, which was a time-of-flight add-on for ENG cameras. It couldn't really handle edges perfectly and existing bluescreen tech was good enough for TV production, so they pivoted into gaming and sold to…
Mullvad's focus on privacy has been fantastic so far. But this ad made me reconsider: I want a VPN service that silently does its job in the background, not one that screams "look at me" with silly stunts and attempts…

So dirt as a factor that clogs up the sensor does not play into it at all? It's all just about moving it into different environments to measure?
Now I would really love to know who the other operator was.
Nice. This obviously references https://doodle.com/ , which was super popular 15 years ago (in Europe), but then turned unnecessary complex, added intruisive advertisements and aggressive monetisation. Would love to see…

That's interesting, could you tell me more? Like which side and port (front/back) was throttling, which side and port was not? Were you using a power supply to charge or was the mbp connected to a display? Did it only…
Of course the irony ist that if a big corporation publishes a year-end reading list, it has the implicit message of "hey we are not just a group of boring corporate robots - we're people, with real feelings, and hobbies…
That's a great step forward. But: he says he wants his users to be free from unwanted tracking, yet still has google analytics installed.
This is definitely something that is needed. But I don't know if you're doing the privacy bit right and I can trust you. What I'd like to see next is a technical paper where you explain all your claims. You're in the…
