I think a lot of people down voting this need to read it again. They're not saying you should go faster because someone is close behind, they're saying go slower.

If they're 5m behind you, the safe speed is 20. If they're 2m behind you the safe speed is 10. (Numbers pulled out of my hat).

There's a whole section of law that determines when the police are able to take DNA samples or fingerprints, and more laws for how long they can keep that information.

It's regulated. And bringing face recognition under biometric regulation is a no-brainer.

I'm on a Poco right now. The hardware is great, so once you remove as many invasive built in apps as you can you've got yourself a great deal.

Look up how to use adb bridge to remove apps. Most are safe to remove, SOME are not. There are lists online that will tell you which is which for your make and model.

I remember this being announced to a big fan fare... And now it's being quietly dropped. Shame on them. 1%? They didn't even try.

Anyone who hasn't played this game should do so now. It's a thing of real beauty.

Thankyou for digging past the headlines and showing your findings. No one has the time to do it all the time but together we can.

The headline says

A record 35% of people aged 18-24 were classed as ‘inactive’ this year, driven by a mental health crisis.

The FT article references this as its source of data - https://explore-education-statistics.service.gov.uk/find-statistics/neet-statistics-annual-brief#dataBlock-58d70635-dc1a-4172-997b-fb5bc73d7166-tables .

But that source says

The percentage of the population defined as ‘not in education, employment or training’ (NEET) in 2023 is estimated to be 11.9%. This is 0.5 percentage points lower compared to the same period in 2022 where the estimated figure was 12.3%.

So where is FT getting its figures from? Or did they just pretend that training is the same thing as inactivity? (•_•)

He's got a book to sell or a gig or something. He'll try getting into headlines in any way possible right now.

He's just trying to sell books now. Ignore him.

Oral b pro 1, 2 or 3. They use the same motor and batteries as their most expensive ones, which is really the only bit that matters. Everything else is just gimmicks to justify the price... Bluetooth connections and other bullshit.

And don't bother with official heads either. Generics work fine. Just remember to change them often.

Yes, I admire her so much for doing this. She's a real hero.

This is actually the world's oldest cat flap. True fact.
