Google is switching the Pixel 9 to an ultrasonic fingerprint reader
  • You'll be able to get the "Pro" in both big and small sizes this time

  • FUTO Keyboard - Offline, privacy respecting, and speech to text
  • Heliboard has swipe typing? Just go to the settings and tap on "Gesture Typing". I believe you have to download a proprietary library for it, though.

  • Thanks, Apple
  • Why is the title "Thanks, Google"? Isn't that Apple Maps?

  • Markdown tests
  • Funny stuff is happening with the spoilers in this comment, they aren't rendering as spoilers on the first two but tapping the actual spoilers removes the broken spoiler characters around the first two lines? Really strange: https://lemmy.world/comment/10822445

  • YouTube is experimenting with server-side ads
  • YouTube's also been experimenting with built-in sponsorblock for Premium subscribers, which I find weird.

  • AI is the future
  • For some reason I don't have AI search on my account, but I still get the same answer:

  • iPhone owners say the latest iOS update is resurfacing deleted nudes
  • Well, someone obviously didn't read past the headline: its undeleting images locally that haven't been overwritten

  • The bear vs man trend is digging up some tiresome and stressful thoughts
  • I'm sure those numbers are much higher, I just felt weird looking at the linked study because it felt unnaturally void of context and when I found the context it made the study feel incredibly disingenuous.

    I was trying to look up statistics on how many perpetrators of homicides, assault, etc. there were but I didn't manage to find anything. I was curious to what degree it was a "loud minority" kind of situation, which is the frame my brain goes into when I consider this hypothetical.

  • The bear vs man trend is digging up some tiresome and stressful thoughts
  • Wait, the FBI reports nearly 14k homicides in the US in 2019 and only 1.8k were a man killing a woman? That's a smaller proportion than I expected.

    I got the FBI data here, it only breaks things down by method: https://ucr.fbi.gov/crime-in-the-u.s/2019/crime-in-the-u.s.-2019/tables/expanded-homicide-data-table-8.xls

  • Vanguard just went live and LoL players are already claiming it's bricking their PCs
  • I installed Fortnite to check out the LEGO mode without realizing EAC was a rootkit and the next Windows update bricked my PC.

  • The people who made Scrunchies understand this concept better than trash bag manufacturers.
  • Striker didn't say that you have to engage, he said that when you do it should be more constructive. C'mon.

  • Stop Using Your Face or Thumb to Unlock Your Phone
  • I have Button Mapper trigger a Tasker task that locks my phone when I hold the volume down button, for some reason Button Mapper's lock doesn't trigger a lockdown.

    (Tap and hold still lowers the volume)

  • Anon encounters a Switch owner
  • TotK didn't introduce a way to repair weapons, it reduced their durability to near nothing then gave you a way to buff them.

  • Heliboard goes into 1.0
  • I started learning Japanese as I started using Heliboard, for now I just swap back when I need it. GBoard doesn't play nice with the language button switching between apps so I just use the OS keyboard button and have the language button disabled everywhere, which also frees up some space!

  • Density
  • In High School my dad and little sister came to pick me up from the state YMCA Y&G conference and I was told on the way out that the girl I was talking to was very obviously flirting with me. I didn't even remember who I'd been talking to.

  • What is your current wallpaper? Where did you find it?
  • I want to do a rewrite, it's got some silly issues RN:

    • Crops are stored in individual CSVs per image and ratio instead of a proper database and when you restart the server it has to reload all of them
    • The only UI is the gallery and the image cropping screen
    • To get to the gallery you have to type your screen resolution into the URL bar
    • Thumbnails aren't cached so they load into the gallery very slowly
    • I send 1:1 wallpapers to both my tablet and watch but when some particular art of Sylvanas that looks great on my watch gets send to my tablet while it's in landscape it's just her torso

    Regardless of all that I think its still pretty nifty and I'd be willing to help set it up or you follow me on Mastodon I'll post there when I have news: @[email protected]

    (I lost my hobby coding spark for a while but it seems to be coming back, though right now that's in the form of an Anki plugin that generates a flashcard deck by extracting data from the vocab app for a Japanese textbook called Genki)
