And it’s a completely different demographic than those would would fall for the phone call scam, but it’s incredibly disingenuous of you to suggest that the only malware distribution vector is being tricked into installing an APK.
I know people who are interested in modding games, pirating software, and installing “cool” apps just for the novelty. I would argue the most likely reason those people installed malware is voluntarily, because they searched out a hacked version of Bloons Tower Defence. Not because they “needed to pay an outstanding Windows service bill”.
Obviously this does not affect “every device worldwide”. I don’t have a single Android phone, and the devices I own that do run Android are not affected.
If you’re trying to avoid email spam, there’s not much difference in giving someone [email protected] versus just [email protected].
The winning team bought a bootstrap theme for $35 and made a landing page for a nonexistent app.
I DON’T want Uber Eats to tell me I should order pizza tonight.
I do want to know when the delivery driver is outside.
A single flight from JFK to LAX produces around 20,000kg of CO2. Using the 8.3g value means a flight is equivalent to 2.41 billion tokens.
Instead this looks like a clone of any of the many screentime apps, with similar egregious pricing.
Shouldn’t take more than 3 minutes to set them all up.
How many people purchased computers that cost in the same realm as a mortgage payment? I personally know a several people who paid >$1500 for a GPU during COVID.
The price hike sucks but I doubt it will convince people to transition to a different hobby.
If you type “h” and then hit the space between “w” and “e”, it will assume you wanted “e” and register that.
This could easily be implemented by dynamically adjusting the ranges where a letter can be selected from the joystick. You don’t even need to render it differently; just adjust which letter registers at a particular angle.
Most people remember the 3090 being a flagship card that was overkill for most people. So why did so many gamers spend $2000 on it? Because Nvidia told them to.
Prior to the 3000 series, the card existed in the form of a Titan. If you wanted the best gaming card, you’d get a 2080. If you wanted a card for scientific computing, rendering, etc, then you could splurge for the Titan. Two different audiences. No one was buying a Titan for gaming.
Nvidia realized if they throw some RGB on the Titan line (so to speak), gamers will happily pay the premium for it, making them more money AND anchoring a much higher price bracket for video cards in the future.
Your time does have value, but it’s in terms of opportunity cost, not hourly wage. Presumably you wouldn’t have made $200 had you not gone to the Apple Store (unless you went when you were supposed to be working and have a job where that time becomes unpaid).
If you run a similar Facebook-adjacent company, you’ll think twice before trying to squeeze any money from them.
Ask: previously was chat, and just tries to answer questions. Does not have the capability of editing your code directly (although if it provides a snippet, you can always click to apply it to the code).
Manual: previously was composer in standard mode. Can edit code across multiple files, but only works one prompt at a time. So if you ask it to edit tests, it will do that and then wait for your next input.
Agent: previously composer with agent mode enabled. Same as manual, but can figure out next steps and automatically execute them. For example, it can edit the tests, then run the CLI command to run the tests, then edit the code again if there are test failures, and repeat.
I find agent to be most helpful when you know the end goal but you need to be clear about what you want. Tell it things like “run the tests to make sure they’re working” and “search the codebase for where this class is used”.
I find manual best for when you know what small steps to do. Like, “create a helper class for managing permissions”, followed by “write tests for the profile view that checks permissions”, followed by “refactor the profile view to use the helper class”.
For a personal calendar, I see no reason to make it any more secure than an obscure URL.
I recently bought a very expensive Sandisk Extreme UHS-II V90 card from Amazon. It passed without any issue when doing a full capacity check, but was still fake because they were using slower (150mb/s vs 300mb/s) flash.
The average user[0] would never know, because it was definitely “faster” than other cards and maxed out the UHS-I reader in my MacBook Pro. I returned it and bought from my local camera store (Henry’s) and the performance difference was very obvious.
[0]: I guess you could argue that the average user wouldn’t be buying a $200 V90 card, but I still think you could fall victim to this if you didn’t explicitly own a dedicated UHS-II reader.
