I'm unaware of any large scale studies on this topic. Both are pretty bad health-wise and should be avoided in regular large doses by anyone regardless. I pointed it out because it…

Potentially as a side effect. A lot of ingredients are switched to cheaper, often more processed substitutes. For example, vegtable oil instead of olive oil, fructose corn syrup in…

The problem isn't inherently USB, it's companies producing cables without properly defining specs. If you want to be certain a USB cable works, buy it from a brand that sells certi…

Depends on country I suppose. The main complaint from me is the difference in price and subscription requirement to even be able to use some of them though. Subscriptions from majo…

Charging stations just need to function like regular gas stations. Prices need to be made available online and prominently displayed at the entrance of the station. They shouldn't …

Plus neither is house ownership. I'd say there is a decent correlation between apartment living vs house and the access to public transport. At least in Europe.

The gpus will be too expensive and a lot of them are not even close to useable for gaming. Any consumer gpus maybe but I suspect that nvidia will be able to pivot more quickly prod…

Totally agree. For a lot of tradefolks maps seem to be the actually more important location. Still Google obviously but it's less slopified in comparison to search. For now at leas…

> Financial advisors and tax accountants Financial advisors giving generic advice, sure. Tax accountants though? I'd be careful. I know the mistakes that llms make when complexity …

> Firefox with uBlock Origin on Linux Same setup and same experience. I've recently joined another company which only provided chrome with no extensions by default. I know the web …

Wouldn't this ultimately make money FOR Google and only cost money to the company that placed the ad? Sure, Google's paying but they get their money regardless.

Probably both. If I understand it correctly giving informed consent for over 1700 tracking partners of a single page isn't realistic. You as a single person cannot be expected to t…

Default camera app is decent and has imo all the basic necessities. You could obviously install the Google camera app and use that if you're after the software features like AI enh…

Because that would require a massive network and additional legal liabilities. Partnering with Motorola seems to be the best bet.

I'm with you there. My fridge has a wifi connection with an app. The only function it can do is notify me if the door is open. Thats it. Absolute waste of resources. I openend the …

> tips about dental hygiene They already can. Philips' higher end models have Bluetooth connections and provide feedback through the app. > advertise toothpaste God please no. I do…

Depends on power output. Has been legal in Germany for some years but inverters have to be limited to 800W output so it doesn't overload the circut. Additionally, you're limited to…

Sure but that's arguably 3rd party at that point.

It does achieve high accuracy but I think given the context when one wants to know this information, plagarism for research papers and college/highschool essays and work, it's unfo…

Natively it doesn't. There are 3rd party camera apps that support it, but you'd have to download them separately. GrapheneOS camera app is fine but nothing outstanding. It will giv…

Or just keep it turned off entirely? Every "smart" device I have has the option to disable WiFi/bluetooth entirely so it doesn't even show up.

The problem is certification. I've had lots is USB cables over the years from cheap to expensive. The only ones that reliably did what was on the tin where the USB-IF certified one…

Why not delete it? I assume that if you don't have it, they offer some other form of communication with you?

In Germany, we love our signs (not really). We have so many of them though and specific rules and lots of exceptions on where to put them. For example, typical city road speed is 5…
