Well, one thing to do is.....DO NOT USE biometrics to access your phone.,
In this case, he'd been much better off using a long, complex passphrase/code for phone access.
They can likely physically force you to touch it for fingerprint ID access, and they've shown they can force you to use FaceID....but so far, I don't think they can reach inside your brain to ferret out the passcode for access.
Hey, it sounds like they got a bad guy here....but just talking in principal, if you want your smart phone, in this case iPhone, to be as secure as possible, use a complex passcode and NOT the biometric stuff.
We can have the feature, but because it isn't approved, the Doctors will not be able to perform actions based on its data
Wow...so, there are laws over there the limit your doctors to ONLY using information from government blessed tools? No independent observations?
Frankly, that's a bit scary, I'd want my Dr. to be able to use ANY information they could gather by whatever means.....I'm trusting my Dr. to balance all information avenues as to how much weight to put on any of them, based on their medical training and experience.
If I have, even a non-govt approved Apple Watch's months worth of ECG data....I would hope the Dr. would be able to look at it, even if un-approved and if he sees something there, he could act on it to order more studies, and whatever else that may be needed to save/prolong my life.
If you are at home, and someone breaks in, you should be able to immediately be able to assume they mean to do you and your family harm, and you be able to legally take action to remove that threat to yourself or your family.
You do not have time in situations like that to politely ask and ascertain the criminal intruders intent, if you do that, you can end up dead quickly.
Yes, it should be....a criminal has no reason to be in your home. If they are there, you should be able to legally assume the worse and protect yourself with deadly force to remove that threat without consequence.
LOL...nah...but c'mon, you gotta meet them at least half way, eh?
No one wants to be intimate with someone that hasn't bathed in a week, smells bad, has soiled clothing on, etc....I'm talking basic, common sense hygiene at least!!!
Would you want to sleep with a chick that was that nasty?
At least have the same standards of cleanliness, etc....as those you are looking to as potential mates to have sex with or more.
Just have at least a little common sense here, eh?
It is not so hard if you are willing to lower your standards. But incels want to have sex with supermodels.
Unless you as a man, are truly hideous....mutated, if you keep in decent shape, and practice basic hygiene....you can easily approach women, GOOD looking women and get laid.
It takes a bit of confidence, and it is a numbers game, just remember rejection won't kill you....just keep working on it and after awhile, you notice it just isn't that hard to engage women, and get in their pants after awhile.
Who knows, along the way, you might find one you want to stick with....but that's not a necessity.
Kinda like, in most states you will get in trouble for shooting someone robbing your home but in Texas you can shoot anyone on your property as long as you offer them a three step headstart.
That must only be most of the NE states...
In the S and SE, if someone has broken into your house, you can blow that fucker away, pretty much no questions asked, as it should be.
Hell, in New Orleans, I've heard of someone shooting a criminal in their house, and the person making it out the door to die in the front yard....the cops have helped the innocent home owner out making it simpler and dragging the body back inside before pictures were taken.....
In TX, they are even more liberal about shooting someone trespassing on and stealing your property, they don't even have to be IN your home, just on your property in some cases.
If a neighborhood kid, an "unsolicited" visitor, tries to pick a fight with your lawnmower . . . he can't sue you.
I don't believe that is true...
I mean, if you have a swimming pool in your back yard, fenced in, locked, etc.....and some damned neighborhood kid climbs your fence, gets in and gets hurt or drowned...YOU are definitely in for a lawsuit you will likely use at the VERY least.....and might even have criminal charges thrown your way these days....
My neighbor has one, and they are slow, with small blades, and little power. The risk is way less than a human controlled powered lawn mower kicking up rocks or debris. I can't imagine it injuring anyone unless they purposely went up to it and stuck their toes into the blades, and that would be difficult since the blades are not exposed.
Ok, that make sense.
While I've heard of electric lawnmowers, I've never actually seen one for sale, much less one in use.
When I heard lawnmower I immediately pictured a robot running a gas powered engine, loud and powerful, basically like a push mower but without the handle for the human to hold/push.
Makes sense if electric....just wasn't first thing I pictured in my head.
Looks like most of these require you to outline your property with a guid wire staked/buried....not sure how well this would work, as that how does it get through the gate to the back yard without human intervention.....and what if you have a sidewalk through your yard, I don't think laying that guide wire on top of it would work too well, etc.
Nifty Idea, and I see it as the future, but unless you have the ideal yard type, wouldn't really be useful.
I do see some of them have anti-theft alarms....as $$$ as these things seem to be ( most seem at least at the $2K price point), I'd think theft would be a big red flag on getting one of these.
I HATE nothing more in the world than yard work, specifically mowing the lawn. I pay someone to do that for me.
I like to work in a veggie garden, on something I can eat.
While I like and appreciate a nicely groomed yard, I abhor having to maintain it myself, its worth it to me to pay someone to do it, OR, if this robo-mower becomes a viable option for me, I'll jump headlong into that.
I really like my Neato Robotics vacuum for the house...I'd love a version for the yard!!
think it's relatively new, or at least I hadn't heard about it until this year or so. It's a portmanteau of "involuntary" and "celibacy" and is a group of men that have created their own little part of the internet where they complain about how life is unfair because they can't get laid and how it's the fault of the women who don't find them attractive. It's almost like the male equivalent of radical feminists that want to blame everything on men.
Interesting.....I've never heard about this before.
Wow...I had no idea there were Roomba type robot lawnmowers on the market!?!?
I've gotta look to see if this is available in the US...are they reliable and safe enough to use on your front lawn, so that you don't get sued by some kid getting hurt by one running into your yard, etc....
I'll look into it, but man, unless these things are really GOOD....it seems a lawsuit magnet!!!
It sure would be nice to quit paying the guy to cut my yard $30 every couple weeks....
Ok, I hate to feed a troll, but I've seen this a couple times....WTF is an "incel"? I'm guessing some sort of insult, but I've never heard of the term before....something you made up?
AFAIK copyright law requires the holder to take reasonable actions to maintain and protect their copyright. Not doing so makes it more vulnerable to challenge (and in the worst case, invalidation).
I believe that is more applicable to trademarks than to copyright.
And with copyright, you can license use of your copyrighted work...and you can do it for nothing or maybe like $1, which would be good to do with some fan project like this.
If you actually sanctioned them, licensed them....you'd generate more goodwill and revenue for your commercial sales/uses of your copyrighted material.
We all know we parents are losing the war against screens. The best we can do is make sure that the kids consume semi-educational things on their screens.
Or, you could you know...assert your authority of being a parent and NOT giving the kids everything they want, including "screens"....or at the very least, be very judicious about when you ALLOW them to use them, and then, take them away.
And your elementary kid does not need a fucking smart phone.
You as a parent has the authority, control and responsibility to make these decisions for your kids....
If you don't have the control over them, then you have more problems you need to catch up and fix than screen time.
he wold has only become a safer place since we grew up. Somehow all of us (and the generations before us) managed to survive playing outside for most of the day. Maybe a few of us ran into what might be considered a dicey situation for a child of that age, but part of growing up is learning to navigate those situations. Expecting anyone to turn 18 and magically become an adult is foolhardy. All we've done is created developmentally delayed individuals who are only starting to grow into adults when they go to college and get the hell away from their overprotective parents.
If you trap kids inside all day, it shouldn't be any surprise that they turn to screens to give them something to do. Allow kids the opportunity to play outside and I suspect that many of them will naturally use screens a lot less frequently.
I wish I had mod points for you...so much THIS!!
Sadly, I've heard that in some parts of the US, they have actually charged parents with crimes for letting little Johnny/Susie run about the neighborhood and play unsupervised, like I and all my peers did as children.
Geez, I guess if I were raised by my parents today like I was a few decades back, my parents would be in jail, I'd be in child protective services, and they'd drug me, because I was always running around and "acting like a boy" as they termed it back in my days of childhood.
I actually feel a bit sorry for kids today....and thank God I grew up in an era where there wasn't a fucking camera everywhere to get you into trouble when getting into mischief....
When my wife and I lived in the city, sometimes we'd look in the fridge and see there was no cream for our morning coffee. Then we'd ask ourselves whether we wanted to go downstairs to the bodega to buy some, or around the corner to the French bakery to have freshly baked brioche and a pot of jam with our coffee. The first time that happened after we moved into our suburban house, I realized that I'd have to get in my car and drive ten minutes to buy cream. So I learned to drink it black.
I tend to cook a lot at home, I enjoy it.
I also plan to where I rarely if ever run out of anything I need on a daily basis, with pantry, large fridge and deep chest freezer....I buy in bulk, etc.
But like you said...different parts have different ways of living.
I couldn't imagine shopping for food every 1-2 days...I go once a week. I study what's on sale that week at the various grocery stores, I run out on either Fri or Sat usually, and hit whatever stores I need for what's on sale (I base my menu on what's on sale usually, and about every 2 weeks or so, I work a trip into Costco on that day too.
At this point I'm set usually for at least a whole week, sometimes maybe more.
But an ultra-dense urban city core is the ideal scenario for public transit.
I could not STAND to live in an ultra dense city core...ugh.
I prefer having a non-attached home, with a back yard so I can do fun things like have crawfish boils for friends, have my smoker for BBQ, even set up targets for my crossbow, raise a garden, etc.
I can't stand to live stacked up on top of each other.....and sharing walls where I'd annoy someone when I turn my stereo up to enjoy.
Nope, I'll take my suburban life and the cars that do with it.
Thankfully, in the US...it is a large enough and diverse enough country with different areas to live in, with different density, cultures and weather.
That depends on a lot. If you include costs then owning and parking a car in a lot of cities that have good public transport infrastructure doesn't make sense. The cost of a parking space could exceed that of [businessinsider.com] many long taxi journeys and hiring a car for a holiday. Add to that the cost of car purchase and maintenance and not owning a car could well be a better option.
MOST of the US is not super urban with the population piled onto of each other like NYC, nor the glut that is Los Angeles......
I've never had to experience hours of driving to a job due to traffic, I've never had to pay for parking where I work, they provided free parking at the joist, etc.
If you have a 'real job', owning a car isn't that great of a dent in your budget, and with routine car (change oil, etc), it will likely last you quite awhile.
and most of the cities across the US, just don't have viable public transport....not if you need to go door-to-door, and are on a very strict schedule.
Above all that, I always have owned fun cars, I like to drive....and when I don't feel like parking downtown, etc...I Uber. Considering I live in New Orleans....I'll likely be drinking too when going down here, so Uber again, is the superior choice, since it is door-to-door.
Aside from that, an occasional ride on the street cars is ok, but nothing you depend on if you need to get somewhere on time, etc.
It might be that these new findings are due to the long term dumbing down of males that we've essentially been undertaking over the past decades.
We've been pushing females so much lately, and ignoring the males and what made them excel in the past, so...these new findings aren't that surprising.
Slashdot Mirror
Just curious, I thought I'd heard that possessing a "false or fake ID" was illegal...if not on a federal level, maybe it is only some states' levels?
I'm just curious if this is true....
The easiest way, is to NOT use face ID or even fingerprint ID at all.
Just use a sufficiently complex and lengthy passphrase to unlock your phone.
It is much harder legally for them to compel you to reveal that.
In this case, he'd been much better off using a long, complex passphrase/code for phone access.
They can likely physically force you to touch it for fingerprint ID access, and they've shown they can force you to use FaceID....but so far, I don't think they can reach inside your brain to ferret out the passcode for access.
Hey, it sounds like they got a bad guy here....but just talking in principal, if you want your smart phone, in this case iPhone, to be as secure as possible, use a complex passcode and NOT the biometric stuff.
Diversity incentives just do not work ......
But I mainly play music though my watch when on a bike, not liking to carry bulky smartphone with me when out exercising.
My first thought on this headline was..."Seriously, this is a problem?"
Do people actually talk on a phone when they are biking or exercising?
Isn't that the time to get AWAY from the fucking phone??
Wow...so, there are laws over there the limit your doctors to ONLY using information from government blessed tools? No independent observations?

Your deer problem should clear up shortly after dispersing a few of those about your field while they are occupying it.
That must only be most of the NE states...

Well, I think even if we did away with a lot of the chemicals, the US could still easily feed itself, and that's all that matters to us you know.
I mean, if the famers can sell all their goods domestically, that's all we need to do, eh?
That's the way it was done in the past....
