They aren't really even in budget phones anymore. When you don't want a notch and want a headphone jack there is almost nothing to choose from: https://www.gsmarena.com/results.php3?nYearMin=2023&chk35mm=selected&sFormFactors=1&sOSes=2&idDisplayNotch=1 :/

Yeah, just like headphone jacks. Oh wait...

It's not just that they demand more, they demand more/faster growth all the time. It doesn't matter that the economy has slowed down to borderline recession, it doesn't matter that they pretty much captured all the market they can, they still need to make more and more money every quarter otherwise they're considered a failure even if they are one of the biggest companies in the world.

Life isn't a zero sum game where you have to optimize material wealth. Some people do things for others just because they like doing it, because they have the means to do so, or because they simply want to help others.

Sure, there are costs involved, but that's true for literally everything if you account for opportunity cost. The vast majority of people choose to waste time completely unproductively, with no objective benefits to their lives (often with objective disadvantages), so is it hard to imagine that some people aren't like that and instead choose to help/provide for others whole perhaps having some other non-material benefits like learning something or just becoming liked within a community?

Except you aren't questioning anyone's views, you're making an argument that barely touches the subject it responds to. And doing so in a very argumentative and condescending way.

So yeah, it doesn't really belong in a civil discussion.

A precise android version could for example be used to target you with an exploit for that version.

I agree with OP, it shouldn't behave like this because the expectation with screenshot software is that it doesn't add any metadata and if it would it should be explicit and probably opt-in.

Security is always applied in layers. If you aren't inconvenienced by it, it's a really solid layer to use. Doesn't matter how 'paranoid' you are, it's a good strategy.

Their quality is adequate for the price and they are open enough to be used with any NVR.

If you are worried about privacy you should segment the cameras onto their own network (VLAN) or at the very least block them on the firewall from accessing the internet, which you should do anyway.

Anything that can compute can do it. The important part is that it has an associated non-insignificant cost.

I dunno, having a free, open model made by a trusted company would be nice. I like initiatives like Mozilla Voice, this could be something similar. Probably not great if it's replacing focus on the other things though.

Man, please, learn to read. My whole point is that you should not care about what people upvote.

So once again: if you are okay with the original comment/post - which means you are fine with keeping Nazis on and what they have to say on your platform - then you should be okay with people who "react" on that content.

Or maybe you aren't fine with it, so you should delete the offending post or comment, and then you won't be bothered by the reactions either.

I think that if you allow that question in the first place, voting on it should not have any consequences either.

Besides, despite what most people instinctively think it's better to see what you disagree with so that you can keep your eyes on it rather than forcing it into hiding and knowing nothing (again, in moderation - you probably don't want to run an actual Nazi instance, so if it does bother you you should moderate that post/comment).

And mistakes still happen; it's easy to accidentally upvote/downvote something by mistake, to misunderstand someone, etc. So yes, I do think banning people based on what they up/downvote is a bad idea.
