I am aware that those existed but this thing almost looks more like the spring loaded thingys that you would use to put printed labels on burned discs with.

The buffing ones I seem to remember having more spinny bits rather than just an immobile pad.

Sing it with me now… “Oh if it’s possessive it’s just i-t-s but if it’s a contraction it’s I-t apostrophe s! Scallywag!”

They have already done that twice with Windows RT and Windows 10 S/S Mode.

The CD-I was at least like footnoteworthy.

I didn’t say you could use arbitrary resolutions, I said you could change the resolution. I think it is you who is misunderstanding. CRT’s don’t scale, they change the number of pixels they show. If you show an 800 x 600 image on a CRT monitor, it will have 800 x 600 pixels. If you show an 800 x 600 image on an LCD, it will still have however many pixels the LCD has.

That doesn’t say that they can’t change their resolution just that they are limited to specific ones. LCDs physically cannot change the number of pixels being shown no matter what resolution you throw at it.

I don’t think that is correct.

I would rather see another two years before I call this totally an over argument. Most people are keeping phones for a few years now.

iPhones do this as well, I assume both will also do it without the alarm as mine has simply learned what time I take it off the charger normally.

CRTs can change their resolution and dot pitch, meaning that no matter what you show on it it’s always sharp and in native resolution.They are quite literally not worse in every single way.

That entirely depends on how far into the process they were. If you leave AMA or ‘Against Medical Advice’ insurance will often not cover any service that has been provided to that point.

I feel like it’s worth pointing out, whenever this comes up and there are immediately detractors, that there are already other jobs with mandatory retirement ages. For instance the air traffic controllers who aren’t being paid right now are required to retire at 56 with some exceptions, and many have the option to retire earlier.

This is a problem that trickled out of some other vocations. The general consensus in my line of work for the better part of 15 years has been if you want a raise find a new job. It’s been really weird that places don’t want to keep institutional knowledge or are apparently willing to pay more for fresh faces.

They are still around.

As a developer this has not been my experience, we all hate it with the fiery passion of a thousand suns.

My former boss fucking loved it though, but he was a PM not a dev.

We aren’t post pandemic. They just want you to think we are.

It wasn’t people from America who made Native Americans move and brought slaves over…

I meant that the article was talking about non audio cameras. What you are saying specifically depends on if you are in a single party state or not and what your state laws are.

What I said was it isn’t enforced but if somebody wanted to pursue you legally they could.

People in this thread would clearly be surprised about the things that are in the legal books. In the town I grew up in it was illegal to drive a car on a paved road. But that law was written at a time when horses were still more common than cars. Likewise the license plate law in my state was written long before cameras had the resolution to do that from a porch without a large zoom lens and was specifically written to prevent people putting security cameras on mailboxes and other places close to the street. This has created a legal gray area for ring cameras which is pretty much what the article and I in my original post was saying; It’s illegal but not enforced though if somebody wanted to pursue it they could.

Fair point. Though I would then argue it’s the World Wide Web that was being pushed by AOL in the same way that it’s LLMs that are being pushed today.

That only applies if you aren’t recording audio as well.

The article is just a general overview of specifically Ring cameras and not specific to any one state or other recording devices. In my state for instance it is also illegal to be able to see license plates from personally owned security cameras, though we have Flock cameras here so yeah…

Why do so many people on Lemmy just really need a “gotcha”?
