With how expensive AI seems to be, it's baffling to me how companies expect to turn a profit on it. 30B a year sounds more like the budget for an entire government scientific agency. And if that's just for the data services...

The act itself still appears to include the language excluding wifi spectrum.

Certain frequencies used primarily by the Department of Defense and unlicensed devices, including Wi-Fi, are excluded from auction eligibility

EDIT: Unless that only protected sub-6 wifi frequencies...

Wifi6e/7 6ghz spectrum that was reserved for wifi got approved to get auctioned off

I don't think that's exactly right. Spectrum that's already reserved for unlicensed use (wifi) was explicitly excluded from the auction directive.

There may be some spectrum in that band that's not already reserved for wifi yet that will end up auctioned, though.

The main advantage of 5g was never really speed, but rather spectral efficiency. It allows the same speed to use less spectrum.

Swipe typing (and word suggestions) are on the roadmap for Florisboard 0.6 I believe (EDIT: Swipe typing is mapped for 0.7). Though, they were also on the roadmap for 0.5 until recently...

Florisboard used to have swipe typing, but it just wasn't really useful without a working suggestion engine, so it's been disabled.

EU is also the second largest economy after the US in the world. Vacating the region would cost way more than compliance.

Some sloppy copy-paste editing in the article. It still references president Biden.

The bill never made it to a vote last time. I expect it will have a similar fate this time —especially with legislative attention focused so much on budget issues. Feels like something they did so they can put it in an election ad.

I hope i'm wrong and it makes it further, but i'm not holding my breath.

Nokia switched to Windows Phone in 2011, just before the N9 came out. They weren't bought by MS until 2014.

And yes, I know about Symbian. Meego was their intended replacement for it.

I had a similarly high opinion on Meego's future at Nokia and then they suddenly went all-in on Windows Phone.

I also had a somewhat high opinion of Windows Phone before MS killed it.

No one wants to maintain an OS for any less than like 25% of the market — which pretty much only leaves room for Abdroid and iOS... and KaiOS I guess, though I don't know how much effort the put into maintaining that. webOS and Tizen (resting place of Meego) are now pretty much only in TVs.

Pretty vague description, unfortunately. Sounds like it could be one of Eugen Systems' games though?

This was what I did until it became fashion to also make phones slippery as fish.

How important is being an RPG in this case? (as I note only a couple of your examples are in that genre)

The below suggestions are not RPGs, but I think fit your request.

It's a survival game, but Conan Exiles ticks a lot of those boxes once you get a bit geared (which doesn't take super long), and it can be played single player. Just have to be okay with some janky experiences.

I will also note that you are a girl in Hades 2.

Sifu is another one you might enjoy, though bosses certainly are a challenge.

Bayonetta is probably the most pure example of a horde-fighting action game with a sexy female witch protagonist. Lollipop Chainsaw is there too, for more of an airhead protagonist. Darksiders 3 could fit the bill as well.

I so wish we didn't design phones such that we need to then also put extra material friction and padding on them. It's intentionally bad engineering in order to cater to a feeling of luxury in fragility.

The pace at which a takeaway container degrades from the salty food may be more than slow enough for it to not matter for that use case — especially if the container uses a coating.

Colorblind person here. If we're talking about limited visibility differentiation of front and back, the color of light is way less noticeable than whether we're looking at headlights or not (based on intensity). There would be no issue telling whether we're looking at a front brake light or a back brake light so long as the front brake light has headlights around it.

This was my first thought as well. Both sodium hydroxide and sodium bicarbonate seem like they could have a signficant environmental impact. We'd need some good studies on that before committing to this idea, I think.

The technology plans for these fuel cells aren't "for now". They're for a future where we've hopefully already decarbonized most of the electric grid, as doing so is way more important than decarbonizing aviation. Converting fleets of airplanes to electric is a long process that will probably not be started for a while yet while there are more important carbon emission sources to tackle (aviation is only 2-3% of the emissions right now).

Terminator 7: Robot Pirates

This is the point of collective bargaining contracts. A union negotiates the rules by which their members and companies interact, sign a contract, and then both are bound by that contract for the term.

The union is claiming the contract they have in place prevents the automation of voice by the bound company unless they get agreement from the union first.

Thurott's article on this implies that "big customers like DDG will be unaffected". Though he also says information is scarce.
