The New York Times is suing OpenAI and Microsoft for copyright infringement
  • Midnitte Midnitte 10mo ago 100%

    Really seemed like this was inevitable - it will be interesting to see if their fair use defense pans out.

    I don't expect it will, and I'm worried of the impact of that precedent on the legitimate fair use circuit...

  • 9to5Google: AAWireless Android Auto adapter returns to Amazon
  • Midnitte Midnitte 10mo ago 100%

    Depending on your usage, wired (due to being slow charging, typically) can actually drain the battery faster than it charges.

    But since you're using it tirelessly, you can use a fast charger via your 9v outlet (or other fast charging USB).

    It sucks it uses so much power, but you're probably better off if you need to charge your phone anyway

    Protip: Many cars use slow charging USB 2.0 for wired Android Auto - if you use this, you cab instead plug your phone into a fast charging outlet instead

    That functionality only works with Google Keep. Google killed off integration with third party apps early this year.

    I've just sworn off using it and using the app we were already using manually. Sort of hoping the year of voice will eventually produce a viable replacement because I'm sick of Google killing shit off and forcing you to use their app. "Be different, not the same" 🙄

    Tbf, it's all about usage and charhing habits. My S22 lasts my work day, but at around ~30%, but I also only charge it to 85%.

    If I didn't charge it on the drive home, it'd probably die during the day.

    I'd imagine this article is more of statement against the S23 Ultra, than a humble brag. At this point, even if you are able to afford it, why upgrade yearly?

    Phones aren't getting drastic upgrades with each physical release - most exciting upgrades are typically software based.

    Posting for the whole Steering Council, on the subject of @colesbury’s PEP 703 (Making the Global Interpreter Lock Optional in CPython). Thank you, everyone, for responding to the poll on the no-GIL proposal. It’s clear that the overall sentiment is positive, both for the general idea and for PEP 703 specifically. The Steering Council is also largely positive on both. We intend to accept PEP 703, although we’re still working on the acceptance details.
