Kobo with KOreader is a great option. KOreader can connect to your WiFi and you can rsync your library to the device.

LiDAR, radar and infra-red may still perform worse on children due to children being smaller and therefore there would be fewer contact points from the LiDAR reflection.

I work in a self driving R&D lab.

Apple has a long history of never standing up to Chinese and Russian state demands. Not surprised seeing them giving in to Putin’s censorship.

I think most people have given up and use subtitles on all the time.

I’m a millennial and I can’t really tell the difference between SD and HD. Do you mean like when YouTube switches to 360p instead of 1080?

No company would use ML to classify who’s the most professional looking candidate.

1. Anyone with any ML experience at all knows how ridiculous this concept is. Who’s going to go out there and create a dataset matching “proffesional looking scores” to headshots?

Use an adblocker. Unless, you mean people go on the internet without using protection?

Clearly not, or it would have caught on by now. I’ve been using Linux for almost 20 years now, I’ve tried open hardware phones and e-readers. Not bragging, just saying I would be the target demographic here, but I’ve never even heard of a serious open hardware printer effort.

Imagine going on the piracy Lemmy community and preaching the moral wrongs of copying.

Seriously though, DRM is a cancer. I usually pirate my books from LibGen, but I buy them on the Kobo store at the same time to support the author. It’s easy to strip DRM from Kobo and they’re better than Amazon, but I would really prefer not to support a store with DRM in the first place.

Can anyone recommend a DRM-less store? Something akin to GOG for books.

In this whole article and there wasn’t even a single sentence on how these AI detectors could have false positives. Cheating or plagiarism are incredibly serious accusations and they can ruin a young person’s career before it even gets started. But of course these corpo types don’t give a shit. They’ll keep on pretending that they ChatGPT “always has a tell”.

That’s not even to mention that there are plenty of ways of using AI that are not cheating. You can use it to proofread, to edit and to critique your essay.
