Yes you can. Many phones have a dedicated "assistant" button now that you can assign to your AI assistant app.

Why do I need to agree to arbitration and waive class action lawsuits to read an article ?

Unfortunately Levi's has started making subtle changes to the same models. I have a drawer full of Levi's, all the same model. The older pairs are 100% cotton. The newer pairs are …

Love this article! One nit: All three animations that show the governor and the flywheel have the governor turning the wrong way, causing the gears that join them to do physically …

My fantasy for the Laptop 16 keyboard: Optional taller hinges and thicker bezel. Think about it... Replacement hinges that separate the upper and lower shell by an extra 1/8-1/4" p…

Good point. And if I remember right, tar allows longer paths than zip.

A tar of gzip or zip files doesn't make sense. But gzipping or zipping a tar does. Gzip only compresses a single file, so .tar.gz lets you bundle multiple files. You can do the sam…

Yeah, annoying. This one is better: https://petapixel.com/assets/uploads/2025/07/Nichole-Ayers-S...

Poking around the map, it looks like red=towns, blue=water, grey=mountains. Not sure what yellow is.

Having HS grades count 100% is a really bad idea. Not because of anything about the schools, but because HS age isn't representative of people's abilities. I had terrible HS grades…

Looking forward to Derek Lowe's take on this.

I've got their R/C Flakpanzer Gepard in a box somewhere. It was great fun to build and run, except maybe the part where you had to assemble the tracks piece by piece. Of course the…

> As an aside, line 511 is entered when it fails to find matching values with the current game state for all 19 boards and flipped boards. It seems like it was originally intended …

Yep, those are pretty nice. It's on/off that's really hard to find. Discrete on, specifically, since with Flirc you can handle off in software.

That is one big reason, yes, but not the only one. I prefer hardware where I can install the OS I choose, and to avoid Amazon gadgets.

I've been thinking about replacing an RPi4 running Kodi, and N100/N150 seems with looking at. But one requirement is support for remote control support, including power on and off …

Interesting. If the counter can be zero, does that mean passkeys can be non-resident keys? And which party gets to decide the counter value?

> So what exactly is being transferred with this new cross platform mechanism? Isn’t it the same private key, except that it’s a direct device-to-device transfer? The sentence you …

Or, maybe just retire. I don't know how they measure it, but I assume they have some management dashboard they can view. The requirement is exposed to us in multiple performance ob…

And I work for an organization that does everything they can think of to make it virtually impossible for anyone to leak code outside, but is now mandating Copilot use to the point…

Related to this, consider that when an LLM writes tests for code, it's writing them based on what the code actually does, not what it's supposed to do. This is equally true when th…

Friendly reminder that despite articles constantly saying "Real ID is required" as if no other option exists, the Real ID requirement only applies to using a driver's license or st…

I was hoping she'd let him have it for the way he kept interrupting her. But unfortunately it looks like he was just interrupting the TTS, so the LLM probably had no indication of …
