    You can fix that by setting “User Settings->APP SETTINGS->Chat->Automatically convert emoticons in your messages to emoji” to “OFF”

    You can still make emojis with “:smile:”, but why would you? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    Thank you for the explanation, though the underlying requirements for keeping a list locally appear to remain much the same, since you really only need to add a few trigger words to the “dumb, always-on” local parser (such as your top 1000 advertisers’ company or product names). After all, I’d imagine we do not require context, but only really need to know whether a word was said or not, not unlike listening for the “real” trigger word.

    This is of course only one of many ways to attack such a problem, and I do not know how they ultimately would do, assuming that they were interested in listening in on their users in the first place.

    And yes, embedded devices are slightly harder to fiddle with than using your own computer, but I’d bet that they didn’t actually take the time to make a proper gate array and instead just use some barebones Linux, which most likely means UART access!

    Assuming that they parse everything locally, which appears to be the case, then why would it have to send a constant stream of audio? A small list/packet of keywords of a few bytes or KB once a day would suffice for most telemetry (including ad analysis and other possible spying reasons’) needs.

    Also, one ought to be able to see the contents of the packets if they retrieve the devices’ SSL key for the session, so this should also be falsifiable.









  • I’m pretty sure it’s more like

    Junior dev: Got all the nice addons, RGB lighting, only uses dark theme, got all the stickers, works from either a café or moms basement.

    VS Senior dev: Works on company standard issue hardware, barely customizes visuals (but got a script which makes a cup of coffee on the shared machine in exactly 2 minutes and 30 seconds), works in shared office, has old rolling cabinet with unknown artifacts last touched 10+ years ago.

    Obviously this is an overgeneralization and not a catch-all, you might even say that it’s “programmer humor”.





  • Agreed for induction, but I’d mich rather use one or two minutes more cleaning the knobs than having to almost cook my finger on this 60-90 degree Celcius hot conventional stove’s touch surface to change the plate from step 7 to 4 for 10 FUKKEN SECONDS! OUCH!

    Having to restart it 2-3 times during cooking because it got confused (pan moved slightly to the side) is also rather annoying.

    Edit & tl:dr: Touch works decent on induction, just please keep it far away from any conventional stoves.




  • Same, I’ve got an Opel Corsa from 2016, so it’s pretty much brand new.

    The only things in the wheel are the speed control, wipers, and default lights.

    For everything else required for driving, such as fog lights, emergency lights, front and back Window heating, AC, radio, and of course the shift stick, I’ll need to remove a hand from the wheel.

    Luckily for me, the Touchscreen in the middle only handles less important things like navigation and external music sources.
