You mean the ones designed to work on 64MB of RAM and CPU? I downloaded too many speech recognition and TTS shareware as a kid.

Google GCP updates me with a list of third party subprocessors which potentially interact with my data. All end users of any service should be informed of direct and transitive subprocessors.

I put most of my apps into freezer (Realme phone) so they run only in foreground. Apparently my mobile operator uses their app to prevent sharing my mobile into a Wifi hotspot, my food delivery app pretended to be Amazon having an issue with a package etc.

Umm, does Google sheets let you fetch rows in O(log(n)) time or aggregate numbers?

Did Helsing get its name from the fictional vampire hunter family?

All of them are just as bad a Palantir.

No that's not true, some try to do it by the book ( ai act, gdpr, and follow German law etc) but they won't have any chance on the market, because those who ignore any law will provide more information / control etc for police, state etc etc

My Samsung phone was very trigger happy about emergency calls, in India. Once, the call went through, and it seems the service provider prepared for people like me: it would proceed only if I press a number.

I was outside talking to some friends one time and heard somebody talking in my pocket. It was an emergency operator.

The power button on my iPhone must have been pushed the 5 times or whatever it took. It is probably a good feature when it saves a life but a little too easy to waste their time with too.


Umm, did they mention the Joules (mAh) limit and combustibility?

Some airlines and/or local aviation authorities have additional restrictions. China wants CCC certified power banks, Thailand has a strict 160 Wh limit. Both are very strictly enforced.

Are they using some olfactory "palatant" on the boxes?

No. The simple explanation is “cat”.

Exactly this. Cats just like fresh things that don't currently smell like cat. That can be a new sheet of paper on the table, a new cardboard box, freshly folded laundry, etc.

How did you calculate the radiation joules -> electricity joules efficiency when the scientists apparently did not?

I managed only the Queensryche with my Sennheiser HD 490 Pro and Qudelix 5k. Thanks for giving the name to my vague feeling.
