Technically IoT, but usually these systems use a hub that uses some other tech to connect to the labels as wifi is really power hungry, even if you just wake up every once in a while to ask for updates, and you don’t want 10000 wifi iot things polluting the bandwidth.

The standard elabels cost around $5 in quantity plus some for the hub that updates them, but you get it back eventually as nobody has to print and swap price labels any more.

• Don’t make it out of a solid chunk of aluminium and glass so it weighs a ton and has nothing to balance it out on the back.

Turing tests aren’t done in real time exactly to counter that issue, so the only thing you could judge would be “no human would bother to write all that”.

However, the correct answer to seem human, and one which probably would have been prompted to the AI anyway, is “lol no.”
It’s not about what the AI could do, it’s what it thinks is the correct answer to appear like a human.

I remember back when the Citroen C1/Peugeot 107 had just a speedo and the tachometer was an optional extra you could buy if you wanted to.

Entirely removing them all and not even offering them as an option - when you clearly have them available - is just mental.

I use qttabbar, tabs are one of the many improvements it adds.

Yes. Android for example has an option to allow starred contacts or certain conversation notifications to always ignore do not disturb, as well as letting any calls through if the same number calls twice during 15 minutes.

Which is doubly funny when you remember Elon claimed at one point the Cybertruck could be used as a boat.

That’s exactly what it is. I previously had Intel hardware for a few generations, but I got seriously pissed off that every time I wanted to upgrade, they had come up with a new incompatible socket and discontinued everything older so I had to also buy a new motherboard.

I think they might be a bit better at supporting older sockets these days, but still, too many sockets and incompatible chipsets.

Statement: you are correct. They should instead be called brain meatbags.

Human brains don’t actually have any pain receptors (even though headaches would have you seriously believe otherwise), so a brain alone wouldn’t be able to feel pain any more than it would be able to smell or see.

They are neurons derived and grown from human skin cells iirc, so, kinda?

What a pointless use of a sensor. The only time you’d need to detect if there actually is someone sitting on the drivers seat before activating the seatbelt alarm is when they are doing something idiotic like using autopilot from the back seat.

Interesting, but taking it a too far to the tiny end - I don’t need a phone I can hide in my prison pocket, just one that fits in my regular ones.
Also Unihertz has terrible software support and doesn’t provide android upgrades for their phones, so it’s already in a sense 7 months out of date - and sadly obscure enough that there isn’t much custom rom development either.

Screen size stops being meaningful when you start comparing phones released years apart - the 5" Shift5me is 141,5 mm x 71 mm, phones around that width have seen screens all the way from the 4.3" of the 2011 Philips W920 to the 6.2" of the 2024 Samsung S24. For reference, the S4 mini was 4.3" at 124.6mm x 61.3mm.

But if that is an acceptable size of a phone, there are still few of those around, thankfully. It’s just about the limit of what I can comfortably handle at all (Pixel 4a currently)

They would need to know what tag is yours, it’s not like tags have a subscription based contract with a company that directly links the device to you.

Unlike, you know, a cell phone. Which you carry with you at all times.

The part where tags are for finding lost, not stolen, items.
Stalking someone and tracking a stolen item without alerting the thief are identical situations, so you simply can’t make a device that works for one and not the other.

One workaround that I can think of is if something like this was properly integrated to police systems, so that when you report the tagged item as stolen, the cops could switch it to a mode that keeps silent.

The S4 mini wasn’t quite that small, but typing comfort on small phones depends entirely on how comfortable you are with using swipe/gesture typing, as that’s realistically the only normal way to do it - any on-screen buttons are just too tiny to hit accurately unless you go landscape.

This is a phone that fits in one hand.

This is a phone you can barely hold in one hand, but can’t actually do anything with it because your thumb maybe reaches 25% of the screen unless if you dangle it precariously on your palm.
