“A bigot is someone intolerant of others’ differing ideas, races, genders, religions, politics, etc.”

I am very intolerant of the differing ideas of nazis, the far right, the westboro baptist church etc, so from their point of view, I’m a bigot.

They are simply pointing out that “racist” and “bigoted” are just as ambiguous in the exact same way as the “evil”, “harmful”, “good”, “negligent”, “bad”, “unethical” etc he mentions for the other licenses.

“bigot noun a person who is obstinately or unreasonably attached to a belief, opinion, or faction, especially one who is prejudiced against or antagonistic towards a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular group.”

If being a bigot is good/bad/evil/harmful/unethical or not depends entirely on who is calling you one, and what you or society thinks of them. If you think that just because someone is a MAGA/Nazi/Tesla owner that they are bad, congratulations, you are a bigot.

Ye. I have all Ikea smart stuff, by default everything is running a local mesh network with physical remotes and that light switch backup.

You don’t even need to connect any of it to the net, buying a hub to get app & google home/alexa/etc control is entirely optional with the exception of a few sensors, like the moisture/water leak one. And even then, the app & hub work on local wifi with no internet anyway.

Nobody trained them on what things made out of spaghetti look like, but they can generate them because smushing multiple things together is precisely what they do.

Or you could just winamp it.

Oh, right, that’s a terrible idea.

They don’t. But nevertheless, the progress they’ve made in a year is very impressive.

The question left to be seen is how it’ll look in a year or two: hardly any improvement, or a beaten elite four?

Libel requires the claims to be published or broadcasted, so it isn’t. A predictive text algorithm strung some random words together, and the guy got offended.
It’s like suing because your phone keyboard autosuggested “is a murderer” as the next words after you wrote your name. Btw, I tried it a few times for lulz and managed to get it to write out “bluGill and the kids are going to get it on”, so I guess you can sue Google now?

due to Pebble selling out to Fitbit.

Due to Pebble going bankrupt, and managing to sell its software assets to Fitbit to gain just enough money to refund the kickstarter pledges and pay off it’s biggest debts.

Those better sources for you?

It’s not three straight rows of keys with the other buttons on a fourth row at the bottom. That’s what BB had a design patent for.

Nokia had quite a few, the E-line (e.g E6, E63, E71) being some of the most “blackberry” looking ones.

BB didn’t have a patent on the idea of a keyboard on a phone, but they did (do?) have a design patent for one of the most optimal layouts and dancing around it was tricky and risky. Or you can just be Typo, directly rip off a BB keyboard, and act surprised when you get sued.

My HTC Desire Z (aka T-Mobile G2) got many years of extra use as a dedicated emulation machine for exactly that reason.

Yes. But it’s better than being identified as a unique user which is much more likely without it. You can test it yourself on https://amiunique.org/fingerprint

You should definitely not try to find info on how to take your Kindle on a WinterBreak ;)

They are also frequency-hopping, meaning they constantly switch what part of the band they use, and there are a few rc radio protocols use a dual frequency system for redundancy. FRsky has one that does 2.4Ghz and 900Mhz at the same time.

So to make sure you are jamming all (commercial) drones, you need to deafen everything from ~850Mhz up to 5.9Ghz.

Also Android has an option to allow numbers that call you twice in 15 minutes to get through as well, which they would do anyway if there is an actual emergency, and someone is really trying to reach you asap.

Way too many apps implement a hide/mute functionality and then call it a “block”, though.

If I block someone, I don’t want to simply hide their messages from my view, I want them to not be able to see and interact with mine. It should be a restraining order, not just sticking your fingers into your own ears and shouting “LALALA I CAN’T HEAR YOU” while they continue to shout slander to anyone passing by.

Sources say.

Because the United States Board on Geographic Names now says so, as demanded by Trump by Order No. 3423. They are the government body that defines what places are officially called.

But unless you are a US federal employee, as Nick Fury once said, “I recognize the council has made a decision, but given that it’s a stupid-ass decision, I’ve elected to ignore it.”
