Just change the detected source language to Japanese and it will translate a lot better - for some reason it defaults to Chinese as the source language. The person above has posted a wrong translate URL
Re:Temperature Control Mugs Tested on Friday March 29, 2024 @01:01PM (#39866335)
I used the ember and enjoyed it for a while barring the annoying Bluetooth issues. One day to my horror I discovered that the black coating within the mug had gradually worn away and noticed swirls of paint in my coffee.. I drink out of a ceramic lined metallic double walled insulated travel mug since then.
Awkward typo - his name is Patrick Collison not Collision. Nice way to honor your investors
Re:Mercedes-Benz previews its operating system MB.OS on Wednesday February 22, 2023 @09:48PM (#34906089)
Weirdly enough I never had issues with my previous generation Volvo that used their proprietary OS (circa 2020) compared with the Android Auto built-in my latest Volvo (2023). I've noticed that my backup camera app can be slow to load almost sometimes failing to load or even loading and then crashing when you shift into reverse gear. I don't know if this is Android to be blamed or some flaky code by Volvo but makes me nervous nonetheless. On the plus side when everything works smoothly, its great to be able to load a wider library of Android auto apps compared with the measly selection of apps Volvo provided previously.
Disturbing that the wall of monitors seems to be blocking the exit out of that control room or it’s some really tight crawl space!

Am I silly to worry about the amount of space junk all these companies are gonna contribute?
Read this as throwing in the towel with Google announcing cheaper storage plans last week with renewed emphasis on the enterprise mkt?
