GPS are very fancy ones, unless that’s changed since I last looked into it. A buried wire, “invisible fence”, has been the norm for all consumer grade ones I’ve seen.

It still happens in Scandinavia where these laws exist, with e.g. toilet paper, where some are listed per kg, some per roll, and others per meter.
Same. They look like the small 25 cl energy drink cans, so even if they’re still 33 cl, they look smaller.
I was equally confused about what people meant with hide the desktop. I assume they meant show the desktop.
Correcting myself here. AntennaPod does have silence trimming, but it’s neither a player button nor in settings, but in a …-menu at the top of the player, which made it a bit hard to find (Same can be said about some settings in Pocket Casts.) and there’s no graduation, so it’s mad max only, from how it sounds.
I would think podcasts without RSS is a tiny minority, and I wouldn’t take them seriously. And I’ve never even heard of ivoox.
You made me check. Since August 2018, I’ve cut about 1d using variable speed, and 1.5d using silence trimming. I’m only using mild at the moment, and have used medium before, but mad max was too much for my taste. But since I’ve listened for 83d, silence trimming is a <2% saving for me, so it might not mean much.
Edit: I do use it extensively specifically when catching up on the backlog of a podcast. So it probably accounts for way more during those times.
Ooh. Nice! I hadn’t heard of AntennaPod before. It seems to have everything that I use in Pocket Casts except for trim silence. I will try it out for a while and see if I miss that. I do use it and it saves a lot of time. Still though, OSS is a big draw.
Edit: It also doesn’t open the queue or start playing automatically in Android Auto.
Consuming podcadts through Spotify is a wild concept.
If that’s the case, I agree that it’s a bit strange.
But isn’t that exactly why it’s called loan words? In Swedish we’ve borrowed words like radio and nylon and we initially pronounced them as in English. But eventually we started to pronounce them as the spelling would dictate in Swedish (the English pronunciations would’ve been spelled rejdio and najlon). For toilet it’s the opposite. We borrowed toilette from French, but eventually altered the spelling to match the pronunciation: toalett.
I’ll grant you that once we have adapted and incorporated the words, we are no longer borrowing them. Maybe we should stop calling them loanwords at that point. But while they’re still new and don’t yet fit in, I would say that borrowing sounds about right.
On another note, I can’t understand why a people wouldn’t want to make every word work in their language. You completely lose the flow of speech when you have to pronounce something that doesn’t fit naturally into it, and you either come off as a pretentious douche or a stupid person.
I’m willing to bet that thise people didn’t know anything about AI until a few years ago and only see it as this latest wave.
I did AI courses in college 25 years ago, and there were all kinds of algorithms. Neural networks were one of them, but there were many others. And way before that, like others have said, it’s been used for simulated agents in games.
LLMs are AI. Lots of things are. They’re just not AGI.
Okay. Phew. I was hoping no one just ate everything without a rinse. But soap? Really?
You didn’t wash fruits and vegetables until Covid came?
Too bad they’re all pizzerias.
Oh yeah, we just forgot. Because everyone loves adding a dongle between phone and cable.
Also just to transfer pictures to a laptop for editing and to clear space for taking more pics on the phone. I know cloud exists, but I want to control my own data.
people buy a new phone often enough nowadays that battery wear is not as much of an issue
battery wear is part of the reason people trash their otherwise working phones. People buying phones more often is a symptom of not having right to repair.
Also, buying an extra battery and charger meant you could carry a fully charged battery in your pocket and if you were out hiking or something, you could just swap batteries instead of needing a power bank and a whole bunch of charging time.
I think the wire ones usually do too. When they’re out of power and possibly if it rains, they go straight until they reach the wire, and then follow it home to dock.
