JerryRigEverything said is his recent teardown review that Pixel repairability has gotten particularly worse on the 9. Sounded like the battery was very difficult to remove

Honestly can't believe Google was so explicit in calling RCS an "open standard" and then turning around and doing this

Well, sure, but I'm sure most coal miners don't feel super great about their specific job and profession generally. It's a waste of resources and capital generally, not at a zoomed in level

Intentions aside, it's just some independent research that anyone can review and critique. If the research is bad then it should be pointed out and won't be taken seriously, undermining any influence from Goldman Sachs now and in the future

A spokesperson for TikTok told the BBC that it had increased its investment “in efforts to ensure reliable information can be found on TikTok”, launching a “UK Election Centre with a fact-checking expert” and adopting an “industry-leading AI labelling technology”.

Alternatively, it could be very frustrating for people who need it. Computer-generated translations are often very bad compared to human ones, and image recognition adds another layer of complexity that will very likely lack nuance.

The idea of breaking up a company is to make the space more competitive. Theoretically if YouTube had a proper competitor, then the decision to honor Kremlin requests would be more complicated, since it could lead to a loss of market share

When I tried that the button takes a photo and asks me where to save the JPG. But then when I select a folder it errs saying the image doesn't exist.
