Excellent news. Just the public transport tickets left to fix. Why on earth did they emulate paper ticket strips in the transport payment apps?

Germany is a backwards nightmare coming from the UK. No self checkout with contactless payment. Instead you queue behind 5 people in Reve, each one counting out coins to pay exactly for whatever they’ve bought.

Why does OpenAI want 10 year old answers about using jQuery whenever anyone posts a JavaScript question, followed by aggressive policing of what is and isn’t acceptable to re-ask as technology moves on?

Regardless of the actual software processing details, in the wider population of Android consumers I’m pretty sure it’s Samsung that has the reputation for photography.

Samsung’s advertising focus is on advertising things that people understand and think they want, not AI assistants and cleaner versions of Android. Most of the reviews of the Pixel 8 criticise no telephoto lens while Samsung tends to have an excess being shown off.

Like everything Google does, I’m not sure it is any good at understanding people as humans rather than people as aggregate statistical models and that shows in its consumer devices.

Not much bodyweight stuff on it though

Not the person you asked, but it was very popular in the UK. You could get news, sport, programme times, recipes, reviews, games, holidays and all sorts. With no on demand TV it was often more interesting than what was currently being broadcast. It was also the basis for displaying subtitles over TV.

That’s really interesting. I’d never considered where Germany would find experienced commanders to support their role in NATO and be the front line with the Soviets. It’s obvious in retrospect I suppose.

It’s very similar to people like Werner Von Braun that went to the US, were key to the space race, but also key to advancing the technology that went into military missiles etc.

Well we can kind of claim him too - Nigel Ng had been living in London working as a data analyst for Monzo when his Uncle Roger character blew up during lockdown.

I miss Bosnian Bill :-(
