Unbelievably cool, well done!


15 days/15 minutes is not a coincidence at all. They were both present in v1.5. For 15 days, usage was unlimited. After day 15, recordings were limited to 15 minutes.

In v1.6, the 15 days was inadvertently removed. This meant that the 15 minute limit was in effect from day 0.


Exactly this. I want a big toggle that I can turn on in developer settings (perhaps make it more involved than that, but you get the gist) that says "I acknowledge that from here on in I am responsible for my data and I hereby absolve Google and other interested parties from responsibility should I blah blah blah..."

Why the hell can't I use my rooted device for payments? It's my goddamn money at risk.


My Pixel phone warns me before allowing free installs (I refuse to call it "sideloading") from any app for the first time. And others like Xiaomi show (or used to show) a more prominent warning you had to read with the consequences, waiting at least 10 seconds to enable the option.

Plus the whole "banks need to protect you by ensuring your device" is stupid when cards are protected only by a PIN, and the app also requires some form of biometry to unlock it, which is to encrypt the underlying tokens. Banks should protect your money on their end, with clients having their responsibility to keep safe their stuff, whether that's their card or phone. It's a stupid premise itself, and it's lazy engineering.


That Newsweek one would have had me stumped for a little, I think. I like to think I'm pretty tech-savvy, but not knowing Newsweek, that looks a little bit like a logo to me. I think I would assume that was going to take me to the homepage and avoid it.


I remember using CWCheat on PSP in the WWE games to create my own custom modes, adding ladders to Royal Rumble etc. Great fun

Is this a joke? Am I about to get whooshed?


It's a form with some text field inputs which get interpolated into a predefined constant string. In the current age of tech I assume it's not a joke, but I understand why you ask.


I was going ask whether it won't be better to use ChatGPT to generate the prompts for ChatGPT.

Perhaps one day we'll have Gemini generating prompts for ChatGPT and the Bard might provide the actual answers.

This might sound ridiculous and silly and I don't wish to step on ppls toes but looking from the outside in, it would seem to be the next logical step.


Thank you. That answers the question I had which was, "why does trying to get the portal page return a load of data about the plane?"


A British man and a Polish man enter a bar. The Polish guy says, "Do you know what they call a beer in Poland?" "No," says the Brit. "They call it a fucking beer."


I want to pay 100% of the price, otherwise I'm overpaying.
