You need a tripod or something to rest the phone against. The prompt to take an astrophotography photo doesn't come up until the phone had been held VERY still for 5-10 sec.

Biometrics are fine, just use lockdown of you get pulled over or are going throgh TSA.

You can still activate the camera/camcoder by double tapping power on a Pixel even in lockdown.

So what we knew all along... It was possible to do these not-so-processor-intensive tasks on older pixels and other devices after all.

I hate that Google artificially limits these features to new phones. The only reason I've stuck with pixel this long is their call assistant to answer then decline spam calls without having to notifying me.

So the studio behind Senua's Sacrifice made a mocap headset that is like the iPhone face ID on steroids. The character on the left is the most realistic copy of the WOMAN who voices Senua in the game.

Lots of teachers are part of a union. There's no mention of it in the article that I see, but union workers tend to be a little bit more protected than at will workers.

You sound like all the cowardly cops. If you can't handle a non lethal situation like this with your tazer: find another job.

Did you read the article?

  1. Epic is not trying to get their 3rd party app in apples app store.
  2. Epic can't create a 3rd party app store because Apple revoked their developer license. This means any app epic creates can't be sideloaded because it will never be signed by apple.
  3. Apples new rules require any 3rd party app store to pay apple $0.50 per install (there is no million app install requirement for 3rd party app stores). So apple would still make money off epics app store if they allowed it.

I stopped going to movies after covid, but i was at one movie whereca fight broke out in that exact scinario. A group showed up right as the previews were ending to find other people had taken their seats. Its escalated where the girls were physically fighting and the manager had to break them up.

AMC restarted the movie and gave everyone a free ticket to another movie after this 2 girls were escorted out.

OR... if you can keep the wheels spinning really fast, you could "drift" the trolly, keeping a set of wheels on each track and kill everyone on both tracks into infinity.

Tech sites have said that Mozilla probably has their native version already done so it's ready day 1.

But these new rules by apple might put a damper on them actually offering it. Mozilla is a non profit, and apple is going to require a $0.50 tax on every app "for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold".

I just don't see how how Mozilla could carry that cost considering they are at over 100 million installs on Android alone.

Um no, the FBI used software developed by an Israel based company to hack into it. This is well documented. Isreal has been creating and selling iPhone hacking software to nation states for years. They also sold out to the Saudi's who used to it to track and kill the American resident Jamal Khashoggi.
