For actual RF based radio around the planet there’s websdr and kiwisdr. Both those platforms have actual wideband receivers run by (mostly) radio amateurs and accessible by any web browser. It’s like having access to a collection of shortwave radio receivers.

Broadcastify is a platform where people share internet streams of local radio transmitters, also accessible via the web.

There’s radio applications like TuneInRadio that package some of this up and slather it in advertising.

Has anyone done any research into the quality of these 18,000 titles? What kind of uptake there is, how many purchases/downloads, etc. ?

Not sure how this is relevant, these numbers are routinely shared with clients and suppliers.

What on earth are those in charge of certification standards thinking they’ll achieve with requirements like this?

Quote from it:

On Sunday 16th March 2025 (the last day prior to the Act taking effect) I will delete the virtual servers hosting LFGSS and other communities, and effectively immediately end the approximately 300 small communities that I run, and the few large communities such as LFGSS.

The Nokia X20 I’m typing this on is part of the Android One program and the handset is still going strong, so much so that I bought another one.

You could just turn off your phone.

Wow.

If you get that wrong, right to left, it gets deleted.

In the new version, how do you edit the name, since long-click no longer works, and do you have any tokens that are for “Amazon Web Services”, which is uneditable and takes up most of the label space.

Well, mine was updated overnight by my benevolent overlords and it’s still only showing the partial editable text and now you can’t even edit it any more.

Not sure if it’s faster and still no access to the seed code, since not everyone uses a QR code.

Enshitification has well and truly set in.

Does it still take forever to launch if you have more than a screen full of tokens?

Does it still only show four characters of the editable component of the name?

Does it still refuse to show the secret as text if you load a QR code?

To enjoy yourselves doesn’t require that you all buy the latest gaming rig or even something new or identical. As long as what you decide on has games in common, you’re good.

I am not privy to your financial situation, but can you three pool your resources and find a common platform?

It’s a Nokia X20, running stock Android, currently 14, but it’s been that way on Android for as long as I remember.

You didn’t mention audio.

I particularly love the feature where you can only listen to music by turning off “Do Not Disturb”, because that way my morning walk is guaranteed to be interrupted by some random caller wanting to tell me that Bill Gates personally wants to give me money, rather than listening to the music I had queued up as I walked out the front door.

Oh, also, the predictive keyboard is brilliant, it forgets common words after about a week, so then you are forced to spend extra time typing the same thing again and again, which is great for finger dexterity training. Speaking of which, I absolutely love the autocorrect which changes words completely out of context, even if you spelled the word correctly, not to mention that adding an “s” to a long word to get a plural requires that you type the entire word.

Thank you. I have not had any recent interactions with the company and had not heard about this.

Why?

I often wonder how such an approach actually happens. One person sends the other a message via Tinder?

Yes, and some days it even acknowledges that there are humans living outside of New York, or even beyond the United States.

Perhaps you might expand your game “design” team to include people outside those sitting in the same office.

At the rate you’re going, we are enjoying it less every day.

That’s understandable, perhaps even desirable, but OP didn’t include that in their requirements.

Why?

It’s a serious question. What features are you missing, what do you dislike, etc.

Otherwise the answer might easily be: search for “NFC payment” in Google Play and that’s not helpful.

I’m not saying that the two are the same.

I’m pointing out that you are prevented from using either service offline because they want to track your behaviour in order to monetize your data.

Unless something has recently changed, I was unable to play music that was downloaded inside YouTube music but refused to play if there was no internet access.

For the same reason that YouTube music refuses to play offline content stored on your phone until there’s a live internet connection - particularly helpful when you’re outside of coverage.

That reason is that you are the product and playing without being tracked doesn’t make any money.

No.

This is that matrix.

Using this method allows you to compare attributes for just two phones and pick a winner, for whatever reason, between just those two

The next two don’t need to use the same attributes, again, you’re just comparing those two phones and the attributes that matter to you in that particular selection.

By doing this parired choice, each attribute is included in the filter and it’s considered within the entire range of attributes and phones.

Here’s how I do this (for phones and any complex technology acquisition):

• Make a spreadsheet with a column for each phone.
• Each row has a different attribute, price, screen size, OS version, warranty, Bluetooth version, etc.
• I put my current phone in column 2.(Column 1 contains labels) I freeze row 1 and column 1 to make life easier when entering data.
• Keep adding phones and specs until you’ve exhausted the ones you care about.
• Compare phone in column 3 with column 4.
• Of those two phones, and only those two, which one would you get?
• Hide the column for the phone you would not get
• Compare the winner with the phone in the next column, and only those two.
• Rinse and repeat until you have two phones left, your current phone and the winner.
• Congratulations, go buy a phone.

For me the biggest indicator that we’ve barking up the wrong tree is energy consumption.

Consider the energy required to feed a human with that required to train and run the current “leading edge” systems.

From a software development perspective, I think machine learning is a very useful way to model unknown variables, but that’s not the same as “intelligence”.

After hitting submit I realised that the word “model” was ambiguous, but after considering that for a moment, I realised that I am okay with that.

Nothing like a little ambiguity to keep people smiling…

You just described “House M.D.”

What would be much more useful is to provide a model with actual patient files and see what kills more people, doctors or models.
