Seems like something that should have been released within the first year of the switches life. Anyone really in the market for something like this at this point in time?

The article is quite interesting and has nothing to do with Google customizing results based on location, which many commenters seem to be assuming. Rather, the article is taking about how you can get dramatically different results by searching for the same thing in different languages. While that is pretty obvious, since the “same word” in two different languages is effectively 2 entirely different words to a computer, there are some interesting implications to it.

I don’t think it’s open source, but I’ve used weawow for several years now, and it doesn’t have ads. They have a website which looks very similar to what the app displays: https://weawow.com/ It also has widgets that you can put on your home screen.

Isn’t privacy invasion (ie, cookies) already ON by default? What’s the difference?

Here is a good guide:

  1. Figure out one specific thing you need to learn how to do.

  2. Look up a guide for that one thing.

There seem to be a lot of these beat’em ups coming out lately. Most of them don’t really seem to bring anything new to the table though. I’ll probably pass on this.

I don’t think I have ever paid more than $300 for one.

I bought a pixel 3a discounted to $300 when it was maybe a year old. Then when the 6a came out, I was able to trade in the 3a for a $300 credit, so ended up getting the 6a for maybe $150. Before that, I had a Nexus 5 which I also bought at $300 and held onto for years.

Back in the 90s, TV kind of sucked, so I got really into anime because I found the stories really original and entertaining. After several years of watching way too much anime, it became apparent that it was also full of tropes and unoriginality, the same stories repeated with slight tweaks. I eventually stopped watching for the most part. In recent years I have started watching anime again on occasion. There is a lot of good content to watch these days, and sometimes anime is good too.

Well there is not really any reason to speculate if you read the article. They say it’s the sound. It reaches 90 decibels right outside of people’s homes. Some people are literally losing their hearing, and doctors in the article say that exposure to loud sounds can cause all of these heart issues.
