Interesting question, and as lots have already commented, judges are possibly biased to whoever keeps them in power.

Perhaps a lottery amongst the pool of potential judges (lawyers or whoever it may be)

There’s a good reason in the the first sentence of the review.

Don’t expect to fit the new M4 Mac mini into too tight a space because you’re going to have to tip it to reach underneath every time you need to switch it on.

I don’t know if Mac minis have an environmentally friendly hibernate mode for those who can’t shutdown their pcs.

Excellent choice! In my vague memories it was an original game with a fun theme

Black & White 2 gets my vote

I didn’t remember this specific incidence, but the govt. / media do like to blame that darn rock music, mini skirts, Doom game, horror movie for all the bad things that are happening.

Also, link to this specific incidence https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rule_of_Rose#Controversy

Sounds really good, will have to give this a try

Impressive to watch, but shouldn’t friendly infantry be in support?

People demanding that “thou shalt not commit adultery” be displayed in school, but have no qualms voting for a convicted adulterer. (Well convicted of lying about paying to try and cover up adultery) https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prosecution_of_Donald_Trump_in_New_York

I guess “thou shall not steal” and “Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbour” aren’t really a problem either …

So the mosquitoes just agreed not to cross the border 🦟

I’m pretty sure they did.

Six months after he was first sent to fight, he was struggling with post-traumatic stress disorder […] Before he was due to redeploy, he took his own life.

The name is British, the fine is dollars ($), so could be a lot of places …

I was looking for the brownshirts link!

A lateral flow test or something using a lab?

Must be a lab test as lateral flow is like £2:

I WFH, so my chair gets a lot of use - it’s one of the tools I use.

If I was an electrician, or I commuted to work I know I’d be paying for tools, fuel, repairs, train tickets etc

I don’t know what your circumstances are, but I find a cheap chair falls apart pretty quick.

Gunner - “Are you sure those aren’t our guys!?”

Commander - “Yes, fire!”

The better office chairs have 10+ year warranties, if you spread out the cost of buying a cheap chair (£150) every 2 years Vs a £1000 one that lasts 10 years its not such a huge difference in price whilst the benefits to your back are worth much more.

I know not everyone can afford this, but it’s worth checking for interest free credit from either the manufacturer, store, or even PayPal / klarna (which is what I did).

So I was trying to think how I’d implement it, and I agree if it’s simple then it really only needs to set the brightness level once, then remember if the user adjusts it, and reuse that adjustment for every lux reading.

Hence the example I gave:

Take the ambient light level (lux).
Set brightness to 5.
Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower

Well shucks, I guess Samsung lied to me! I see adaptive brightness was released as part of Android Pie in 2018.

Yeah, I was thinking it could be machine learning in that it takes the average of all your changes over time and the different ambient light levels.

But deffo no need for neural networks.

I totally agree with you.

However there is one smart feature Samsung has that I like. The screen brightness auto adjusts based on the ambient light, but if I change that automatic brightness (I prefer the screen darker) it will remember that and consistently adjust the brightness.

I’m not sure it’s really an AI feature…

Take the ambient light level (lux).
Set brightness to 5.
Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower
