People think the Olympics is about athletics. It’s not. It’s about corporate sponsors and construction contracts.

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.
Most games work well; some don’t yet, and a few probably never will (CoD, PUBG). The easiest way to check is to go here: https://protondb.com and either look up the games you actually play, or just give it your steam profile URL on the profile page and have it scan your library.
Unlike Canada, where the consensus seems to be that the country is ruined now. Not damaged, or heading in the wrong direction or anything, but actually ruined. The only things that can save us now is banning all gender bathrooms and adopting bitcoin.
The data is unreliable. If we knew how much of the data was faked we could compensate for it, but we don’t. We could discard the outliers, but we don’t know if we’re discarding valid data, and someone who is deliberately tainting the dataset would submit a bunch of samples that are only a little bit off as well.
And while some of the numbers must be from trolls, manufacturers (and shady investors) are heavily incentvized to sway the listings.
Some of the number are faked. The only person who knows the accuracy of these one are the people who posted them.
Many people who aren’t vegan still choose free range eggs, organic beef, fair trade coffee and chocolate.
The 500 mile diet is absolutely a moral choice, even if it includes meat.
Albertans preferentially eating large amounts of Alberta beef is viewed as a virtue there. Veganism is viewed as immoral, unalbertan (amongst some communities).
Because if you look closer at the data in the Geekbench browser, it’s kind of shit. The iPad entries are probably not too far off, but there are a ton of entries that are obvious garbage, like a Pixel 7 Pro with a Ryzen 9 5900X. Also, a lot of system names are VM hypervisors. In a VM, you can control the realtime clock that the Geekbench profiling software sees, so you can just kind of dial whatever performance number you want.
Geekbench obviously just takes the average, but the average of garbage is still garbage.
What “other side”? Vegans? I suppose there are some who are just sort of “cultural vegans” too, where they don’t have a moral stance, but are vegan because their friends or family are.
I’m not sure if maybe you’re reading more negativity in my comment than I meant. There’s certainly nothing wrong with animal welfare as a moral stance.
Veganism at its core is a moral stance. If not for the moral issues, these people would probably be vegetarian instead. That’s not to say that all vegans are the aggressive evangelist kind, but pretty much all vegans choose their diet out of moral concerns (in addition to health and environmental reasons).
I like pedantry as much as the next person, but skew is a regular English word as well as a statistical term. It’s clear here which usage they meant.
Wireshark may or may not help you here. The proposed mechanism is abusing the wake words, which are processed locally on the device. Each marketing wake word could be processed, set a flag and go back to sleep with no network activity. Periodically a bit array of flags would be sent to the server with any other regular traffic (checking for notifications, perhaps). The actual audio never gets sent. I’m not saying that Facebook actually does this, but it’s a reasonable explanation for the behaviour seen in the Vice article.
And their conclusion was completely wrong.
Because unless you’re a journalist, a lawyer, or have some kind of role with sensitive information, the access of your data is only really going to advertisers. If you’re like everyone else, living a really normal life, and talking to your friends about flying to Japan, then it’s really not that different to advertisers looking at your browsing history.
These days, a private conversation about pregnancy, abortion, voting, or your feelings about geopolitical stuff like Gaza or Ukraine could absolutely be used against you, depending on where you live.
At least some of the app developers have realized that if they develop for Postgres they get to keep the Sql Server licensing costs for themselves. Windows server licensing costs too, if they’re clever.
Unfortunately the old janky enterprise shit will probably never get updated. You know the ones. The ones that think they’re new and hip because they support SSO (Radius only)
