Do you even know that they track your gait? and face? wherever you go?

(of course they don't even need to since you carry a tracking device in your pocket)


I try to avoid Apple devices because of the artificial restrictions ... it almost feels like a mobile OS (which also has lots of artificial restrictions)


Like what? These are also machines you can run Linux and BSD on if you like


I wonder what hardware can handle that bandwidth


According to the paper, they used a streak camera. It also helps that they only collected 15ns long segments.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Streak_camera

Check page 3 of the supplementary information available here:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41377-023-01095-5#Sec16

In figure S1, you can see a schematic view of the streak camera internals. Apparantely the incoming photons hit a screen and eject electrons from it which are accelerated towards a detector. By quickly changing the voltage perpendicular to the direction of flight of the electrons, they are deflected in different directions depending on when they arrived. That is each detected line ("streak"?) will show up on a different row of pixels on the detector.

Does that make sense?


Why fix what's not broken?

The hard part (expensive part) is to put it into orbit...


I have the correct password and google ask me to "get my" to verify that it is me... If I click Try Another Way, I find out that it meant Get My Phone... But Google isn't in the settings because I use LineageOS.

Is it possible to disable that extra "safety" for my Google account? i.e.: I don't want to have to verify because I use a different computer to login.


Where can someone buy it in the US?


I thought that AMP was finally a thing of the past...


You should try asking that question to ChatGPT


God awful results when compared to what other search engine? Certainly not Google...


DDG is my default and I find myself using !g quite often more so over the last year.
