Why does Picard always have to specify temperature preference for his Earl Gray tea? Shouldn’t the super smart AI have learned his preference by now?

> Why does Picard always have to specify temperature preference for his Earl Gray tea?

Completely OT, but, most likely, he doesn’t. Lots of people in the show direct with the replicators more fluidly; “Tea, Earl Grey, Hot” seems like a Picard quirk, possibly developed with more primitive food/beverage units than the replicators on the Enterprise-D.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

That’s allegedly the case in iOS (not the provable part, but I wonder if anyone managed to disprove it yet?)

I'm thinking perhaps a standardized open design circuit that can you can view by opening up back cover and zooming in with a microscope. feel like privacy tech like this that seemed wildly overkill for everyday users becomes necessary as the value of collecting data and profiling humans goes through the roof

The value of the data you willingly transmit (both to data brokers, as well as in terms of the harm that it could do to you) via the use of apps (that are upfront about their transmission of your private data) and websites is far, far greater than the audio stream from inside your house.

If you don’t want your private information transmitted, worry about the things that are verifiably and obviously transmitting your private information instead of pointlessly fretting over things that are verifiably behaving as they claim.

Do you have the Instagram or Facebook apps on your phone? Are you logged in to Google?

These are much bigger threats to your privacy than a mic.

The sum total of all of your Telegram, Discord, and iMessage DMs (all of which are effectively provided to the service provider without end to end encryption) is way more interesting than 86400 images of you sitting in front of your computer with your face scrunched up, or WAVs of you yelling at your kids. One you knowingly provide to the service provider. The other never leaves your house.

Funny, I just picked up a device for use with https://heywillow.io for similar reasons

me too, but I bricked mine when flashing the bios. just a fluke, nothing to be done about it.

I watched the demo, to be honest if I saw it sooner I probably would have tried to start this as a fork from there. Any idea what the issue was?
