Fl. Oz are actually nothing to do with weight. They are volume.

For each fluid oz. use 30 ml

It’s only approximate but the official measurements for nutrition actually do it in the US so it’s not a real unit anyway anymore.

I’m sorry, I started joking because you weren’t being serious either.

Wait, you were being serious?

Well I’ve got a solution for you!

Just insert this adapter into the 3.5mm jack and it will be blocked for you. It’ll no longer be wasted space because this adapter is a useful place to store several grains of rice for a snack.

Unfortunately you do lose a feature as a result of using this adapter, it will stop one of the speakers from working and degrade your audio quality.

But you shouldn’t complain about anything removing a feature, or degrading your audio quality. You’ve got a new feature of being able to store rice!

You can even buy special fairphone sustainable rice from us. With only a small 300% mark up but an incredible 80% of the sustainability of already available rice. It comes in green!

The “demographic” of human being who doesn’t want to wreck the planet if Fairphone’s target.

If Fairphone is not trying to be universal anymore you should see that as a problem. So should every fairphone customer.

I’ll buy a more sustainable phone than the fairphone when my phone loses support in 2027. I’ll encourage everyone to buy a more sustainable product today.

I’d much prefer a 3.5mm jack

The stand up bit that launched a career.

Wrong way to approach it.

To parents, start using the word wrong.

Any time you kid does something cool you might have done as a kid. “Awesome, that’s so boomer.”

If they can’t do their homework. “You’re such a boomer.”

It drives kids up the wall when parents use slang right, but when you use it wrong it’s even more infuriating.

iPods had an 82% share of the US market at the time the term was first used.

At the time a “broadcast” to you iPod made the name podcast pretty understandable.

And there’s not much else I could think of to call it given technology at the time.

MP3 player was the generic term. But MP3 cast feels clunky.

I did hear audioblog used. But they weren’t all blogs.

It really comes down to the fact that at the time everyone knew “pod” meant “iPod” and that’s it.

Look up the antikythera mechanism.

The Romans could make enough quality metals for a clock.

The idea of a printing press was revolutionary but it’s just an engraved plate, ink, later and a weight on a lever.

I’m confident I could make a printing press without plans having seen one. I’m not confident I could design an accurate watch.

I might manage a pendulum clock. Just. But that’s far less useful.

Yes, but magnetic flux causes radio waves and there isn’t a guarantee these will turn into heat in the space you are heating.

They really don’t care. It can take a lot of time to put a solid case together and you’re better off having a solid case than a quick trial.

The statute of limitations is much longer than a year. It’s usually around 5.

They can wait, see who’s made the money, then target them for a payout.

Perhaps to avoid people getting hurt significantly we could regulate and ban dangerous things.

Or promise to put him in jail if anyone dies now and see if he carries on.

The rights holder first considers the size of the payout vs. the cost of legal fees.

Just because they haven’t been sued directly for this doesn’t make it infringement.

It’s clear from the output that it breaks copyright.

We don’t have to look inside the black box to demand to see the input which caused that output.

To be clear a machine is not responsible for itself. This machine was trained to break copyright.

If every time what already exists gets used there’s a risk of a massive fine or court case they’ll throw it away.

The game now is to delay the legal process long enough until they’ve built the replacement.

Then they can afford to throw the, essentially faulty, model away.

My point is that corporations often see a fine as a cost of business because the fines are issued by a regulatory system that has no teeth.

If you’re in a lawsuit against another corporation they are going after damages in civil court and it’s likely to be a high enough fine to stop the behaviour.

Typically they aren’t fighting other corporations.

Except AI models may end up having to start again with licences or public domain data.

They are currently breaking the law and delaying legal action as long as possible in the hopes they can repeat the trick with a new data set.
