I believe it should still work, as alarms trigger for me even if my phone updated overnight or I put it on the charger dead before going to sleep, but I’ll have to test it

That’s not what I mean, I’m talking about the Shortcuts app:

There is a shortcut action to shut down the phone which you could trigger with an automation, I suppose.

• yellow
• male
• round face, beard, brown hair, mid 20s (I think probably some internet-famous person whose name I don’t remember)
• small plastic ball filled with air
• a simple square table with a natural wood top and legs

That was my first thought. But then (before reading the questions) I also imagined other similar scenarios like with a soccer ball and my desk at work, lol.

My experience with this experiment was kind of like when they play memory flashbacks in movies, I could see the ball being pushed and falling, but with jump cuts and the timing was off. Detail-wise I’d say it was kinda like what you got from AI image generation when Dall-E first came out two-ish years ago.

I don’t think I have the most visual imagination out there but if aphantasia is one end of the scale I’m pretty far to the other side.

Yeah…? That’s my point

because the earth is big and you don’t have a hard drive big enough to store it locally?

I bet this is going to be some sort of gotcha about how people didn’t feel the need to “deprogram an extremist liberal”, so obviously everyone is out to get the poor poor conservatives who just want to be vile in peace

you have what i would consider consistently bad takes on this subject

Ah, just saw a comment from OP claiming that Israel was doing “everything possible” to prevent civilian casualties, so yeah, bad take puts it pretty well. What bad faith bs

Your reply refers to a “junior who is nervous” and “how the sausage is made”, which makes no sense in the context of someone who just has to review code

They’re saying developers dislike having to review other code that’s unfamiliar to them, not having their code reviewed.

Not to mention the law firm they hired advertises anti-union action, so that should tell you whether they can be trusted to be fair to workers…

Well yes, I was simplifying because I wanted to address the main (incorrect) criticism by @spartanatreyu@programming.dev. I agree with your comment

Yeah, in Java calling first() on a stream is the same as an early return in a for-loop, where for each element all of the previous stream operations are applied first.

So the stream operation

cars.stream()
    .filter(c -> c.year() < 1977)
    .first()

is equivalent to doing the following imperatively

for (var car : cars) {
    if (car.year() < 1977) return car;
}

Not to mention Kotlin actually supports non-local returns in lambdas under specific circumstances, which allows for even more circumstances to be expressed with functional chaining.

…what? At least with Java Streams or Kotlin Sequences, they absolutely abort early with something like .filter().first().

If you read the linked article you will find that exterior cameras feeds are plenty invasive enough.

I don’t think they have interior cameras (although other manufacturers do), but the front and backup camera feeds provide plenty of information as well.

Then there’s also this, if you need any more reason to be concerned.

Their privacy policy includes a provision that they can use the cameras and GPS to infer things such as sexual orientation, so yeah.

Windows Recall, the screengrabber they were about to release with an unencrypted database as an opt-out feature.

I mean, in 2012 they didn’t even have 2FA yet. Also IIRC they haven’t started really leaning into the privacy angle until maybe around 2019-20 publicly, and from there it probably wasn’t the highest priority item for the security team. Not excusing how long it took, but they are a business after all and with how scary the warnings around ADP are I doubt it’s a very marketable feature with a lot of reach.

This article is very outdated and nowadays you can actually encrypt your entire iCloud and be the only key holder. You will get multiple strong warnings in the UI about the possibility of losing access to your account.
