@boomzilla This is the Internet. Dick shapes make everything better.
Just ask Slack.

@ben_lubar, could we whitelist the <mark> tag? <ins> and <del> can be used for the job, but semantics?
And some CSS to go with it?
mark { background-color: red; color: yellow; padding: 0.3em; border-radius: 1.5em; border-style: groove; border-color: orange; box-shadow: -0.5em 0.5em 8px purple; }

@PJH That'll work equally well on light and dark themes.

The default
ins
anddel
on his forum aren't great on dark themes; I had to change them in custom css.

@topspin Why do you speak of fantastic tales designed to frighten young children? What next, the Grimm tale of the brothers who play "slaughter the pig?"

@Tsaukpaetra My favorite is when the lock (on a non-hidden file) is being held by Windows Explorer for some arcane reason.

Yes, I think it will be an important capability for Google to tell me where my phone is when I ask my phone to do so...

It's actually useful, because it works if your phone is out of sight but still in the room

From context, I got the impression he was getting that ad on his phone.

@PleegWat If you're in the room where the phone is hiding under some pile of junk (or pillows) and you give the voice command to find it, it probably picks up the voice command and starts making sounds and blinking. I've never used the google assistant so I'm just guessing what the "find my phone" function actually does.

Yes. If your phone actually has the "always listen to me" ability (mine only does this when unlocked or charging).

I have extreme doubts about the phone's ability to discern any voice commands if it's buried in a pile of junk.

@hungrier it might be not literally buried, but merely obscure from view in some remote corner.

gonna guess there were already no Swift fans here.

The Register asked Apple about its patent strategy, just because we enjoy the ritual of sending email and having it ignored.
-

Those patent are pretty much void, because of already existing technology. Swift isn't anything particularly new in the world of programming languages. It's just done nicely.

Isn't that the language where people are encouraged to use emoji in symbols?
(If so, they should reserve all identifiers containing ahead of time for Apple internal use. And patent that idea.)

Not sure whether this is amazing AI or the NHS has simply analyzed carefully how to spend its AdWords budget.

And it offers to put off doing nothing for later. Almost zen.

What's even funnier, if you read the replies, whatever country you're in โ UK, US, Germany, Austria, Spain, Poland, Slovenia, ... โ your country's suicide prevention hotline is always the first result. Although apparently if you move "how to tell" to the end of the query string, you become non-suicidal in Google's opinion.
Edit: in the other thread.

As a world-class procrastinator, I heartily approve.

Don't procrastinate now, you can still do that later!

Doing nothing is actually amazingly difficult. I never get finished with doing it.

Tried clearing my Google Play services storage the other day, and it apparently upgraded my device's storage capacity...
Only by 1 byte, but still.

Mine just brings up the PIN screen. Technically, that's with "OK, Google." "Hey Google" does nothing. I get these as emails, BTW, although I don't see "Find my phone" in any recent ones.

Yeah, I think that's a security option. I suppose I should have seen the s coming and preemptively said "if voice commands while locked are enabled and the phone supports always-on listening"

Well I clap my hands in the middle of each word.
โฆI think I just discovered something even more annoying. You can't just skim over it and ignore the hands any more.

Pandora (just submitted a suggestion for this obvious thing):
If you are listening to multiple stations using "Shuffle" and remove a station, they don't remove songs from that station from the queue. So if you have a bunch of stations in the mix you could keep hearing songs from the thing you just removed for a long fucking time.
That's particularly annoying when someone else had been previously listening with their station selection.
-
@boomzilla Well there's your problem. You're not supposed to share your Pandora account with your alts.

@brie but how will I listen to music now!?
