To be fair, O2 has a massive issue with scammers and they need to do something about it. I switched to O2 about a year ago, keeping my old number. I’d rarely get scam calls or texts before I switched but since I’ve been with o2, I get 5-10 calls a week. Particularly annoying because I have to answer my phone due to my job

Surprised it was rejected for infringing trademarks

I read that as “he is being prepared for the coroner”

Forget about the AI. There is so much wrong with this.

1. If it gets it wrong, either false positive or false negative, then there are serious consequences. This means there is no way it can “play it safe” with an answer.
2. I don’t trust that it’s not capturing and storing data. The risk of a “highly personal” data being leaked is completely unwarranted.
3. It works from a photo, therefore it’s unlikely to pick up much more than you can see by eye. You’d be better off just learning what to look for.
4. It won’t detect STIs with no visual symptoms, so provides an entirely false sense of confidence, potentially increasing the risks of those STIs to the general population.
5. Let’s say it works perfectly, and the AI algorithm runs completely locally with no data being transferred to the cloud or being captured/stored. Do you want to have someone you don’t trust about being honest about STIs taking a photo of your genitals?

That’s what I can come up with in 10 seconds. Feel free to add to the list, I’m sure it’s not complete…

You’re my wife now Dave

Bobby’s mum and dad decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 10-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighbourhood activities.

The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into action.

“There’s a car being towed from the parking lot,” he said. “An ambulance just drove by.” A few moments passed.

“Looks like the Anderson’s have company,” he called out. “Matt`s riding a new bike, and the Coopers are having sex.”

Mom and dad shot up in bed. “How do you know that?” the startled father asked.

“Their kid is standing out on the balcony too,” his son replied.

How does that work out in terms of energy consumption though?

If NVMe is at least 10x faster, but consumes 5x more power, it will use less energy to read or write the same amount of data overall.

What you are looking for is a handy man, you used to find them in the yellow pages, but try your favourite search provider?

My search came up with task rabbit uk as the first sponsored result…

Is it just me that gets triggered by these US companies which exist only to be an IT based middle man? Like mini cabs existed before Uber, but everyone acts like they never knew these things existed?

I remember international flights that had several outside cameras, one looking slightly down and forward was the best by far, although most of the flight it was just clouds and during landing that one turned to face forward so you couldn’t see the runway. Haven’t seen them recently though.

Nobody’s mentioned it, but the main thing for me is that the screen aspect ratio isn’t any good.

I’ve always preferred bigger screens and bigger phones and willing to pay a bit extra for a foldable screen now they’ve been on the market for a while. I doubt they’ll last as long as a normal phone screen, but they generally review well and I get they impression they are more durable than most people expect.

But… the main benefit of a big screen (for me) is for watching videos. If it’s not 16:9 (or close to it) then what’s the point? I don’t need to multitask on my phone, I’ll switch to a laptop for that - I’ve had phones that do split screen for years and it was a cool gimmick for a while, but I’ve never really made good use of it.

If anyone can tell me of a phone with a big screen and 16:9 aspect ratio then I’d be willing to reconsider…
