Is the Vision Pro even in the same area to compete?
A big part of it's value seems to be how it integrates with other Apple products.
The Quest is like the Nintendo Switch of VR: you get it, install games and apps and you're sorted. You don't have to own something else to get use out of it.
You can, but that's not the main intended use pattern.
Okay, maybe that was a typo, but I've read cooking instructions based on a "cup" of chicken strips.
I had emails from CVS (American pharmacy store) about vaccination records recently and noticed this
Administration date 2024-10-25
First time I've seen dates used like that in a public-facing context. The birth dates were in that form, too.
The US uses metric measures in many places, too. Usually medical, but even things such as phone thickness are announced in ml.
Are you sure that you're remembering this right?
I find it hard to believe that the newspaper didn't come up with a headline based on calling her "Cinders".
The Register kind-of models itself after a tabloid style so has deliberately jokey headlines. It's been around a long time (I read it in the 90s) and seems to have quality underneath the humor.
Possibly the only remaining place where you can read the word "boffins" regularly.
Maybe it's not an LLM. I think that Wolfram Alpha can do all sorts of reasoning and advanced math, for example.
No it's not. It's more of a spongy consistency compared to a the dry, breadiness of an English muffin.
My pixel 7 has adaptive charging. If there's an alarm set and I charge it at night, it paces the charging to be full near the time I'm getting up.
So it's doing what it can to preserve battery health.
Alternate option, set up a premium number and profit!
If you're visiting from another country, try giving them a number from there (real or fake). What are the odds that their system can cope with international codes?

The trail emerging from the tail of the plane, as if it was a rocket.
They replaced that system in our local store with an option to use carts with a bunch of cameras and a screen. You have to show the cart each item and I saw someone tapping on the screen, too. There are locator markers all over the ceiling too, so the carts must track where they are.
It looks like an over-engineered version of those handheld barcode scanners some stores have, where you scan things as you shop.
Chicks, not checks, btw.
It seemed that way, it asked me to scan a QR code on my phone to link it, which didn't happen before.
Or maybe the option to use my phone was some older auth method, where I'd use the fingerprint reader on the phone to confirm a login on the laptop. I thought that was a passkey, but that doesn't fit with what I'm reading about what it does now.
The Register is deliberately tabloid-like in style (right up to the "red top" site banner), but is good quality (at least when I read it).
They won't write an article about science without using the word "boffins" either. It's just their thing.
Edit: Thanks for all the suggestions. I'm going to try sticking with syncthing and try the fork of the UI and see if that keeps everything working.

I want to sync files between my linux PC and Android phones (mostly for Obsidian notes).
Can anyone recommend a good real-time sync?
I've been trying syncthing, but despite turning off battery optimization for the app, it rarely sees the phone as connected. I don't want to have to remember to check syncthing every time I edit a note.
I use resilio for syncing between PCs but it looks like it has a high battery usage on the phone, as if it is frequently polling for changes.
I use FolderSync for occasional scheduled syncs (e.g. updating my MP3s from the server to my phone), but a scheduled sync either is frequent enough to affect battery or it risks sync conflicts.
Cloud services such as OneDrive, Dropbox and Google Drive don't show up as big battery drains, so I assume that they use change notifications from the OS instead.
Are there any real-time 2-way sync apps for phone that don't have big battery drain and are not for cloud providers?
I grew up knowing a fishcake as being fish sandwiched between two slices of potato covered in batter.
But when I ventured out into the wider world beyond Sheffield, fishcakes were strange breaded minced-up fish things.
Was my whole childhood a lie?
