Users who want features early already use Android

Not only. I have Android in Ireland, and it has call screening.

I don’t know what kind of voicemail you’re referring to, the one provided by networks over here just sends the caller to voicemail if you don’t pick up, you will get a text later.

There may be a different voicemail service where you live (visual voicemail?) that I have no experience using.

Then there’s Call Screening that android had indeed been had for a while, but it doesn’t record a message, it’s a back and forth interactive conversation and you can see the transcript in real time.

It’s not the same. You can’t answer it mid-recording. and if the phone call turns out to be important, you have to call back, and if it’s a company you’ll likely have to navigate a maze of options, then wait while “all operators are busy”.

I use it on android and most people just hang up.

But it’s nice knowing that companies who call me also have to talk to a robot first before reaching the human, me😊

The answer lies within the article

Publishers legally control content that AI companies desperately want, but AI companies don’t always want to negotiate a license. The first-sale doctrine offered a workaround: Once you buy a physical book, you can do what you want with that copy—including destroy it. That meant buying physical books offered a legal workaround.

And yet buying things is expensive, even if it is legal. So like many AI companies before it, Anthropic initially chose the quick and easy path. In the quest for high-quality training data, the court filing states, Anthropic first chose to amass digitized versions of pirated books to avoid what CEO Dario Amodei called “legal/practice/business slog”—the complex licensing negotiations with publishers. But by 2024, Anthropic had become “not so gung ho about” using pirated ebooks “for legal reasons” and needed a safer source.

The Partner by John Grisham

It’s like breathing. Ever since your first breath at birth, each additional one just postpones your death by 5 minutes.

Well, to me it means “alternative to”, so you can either have medicine or the alternative (to medicine). Alternative to facts is bullshit, so that checks out.

John Grisham novels. Currently reading one from the 90s.

I like 80s movies too, but nothing I’d watch on a daily basis.

My washing machine is broken, so it takes a screwdriver to open the door 😂 so, maybe break off the handle? 🤣

But seriously, unplugging (or if you’re in the uk, use a switched outlet) may be the best choice. If the socket is in an awkward spot, you could use an extension cord so that the plug is exposed in a place inaccessible to them.

Still, even without electricity, the idea of one being trapped inside is scary as heck!

Call of Duty desperately needed new material

Now with AI

The way i calculate this, is knowing that 7 is 10-3, and 6 is 3+3.

So, 7 + 6 = 10 + 3 = 13

I lucked out, this was really confusing 😅

Depends where you live. There are people who think cycle lanes and sidewalks are free parking as long as you leave certain arbitrary sized gap for a person to pass.

However it’s often not enough to squeeze through with a pram or a wheelchair. If it were a scooter, i could easily move it myself to make way, but with cars i have to go onto the road to go around the car. Cars are definitely more dangerous.

It may be a flaming pile of garbage, and native apps are preferred by users ux-wise, but if your business already has a web app for desktop. Are you really going to spend money developing and maintaining a native app?

The reality is most businesses will want to write and maintain single codebase, and PWA is the lowest common denominator. Apple is making the experience worse for it’s customers by not forcing their users onto Safari.
