Have you experienced a battery life hit when using the transformer tuning feature? It warns that it has a major impact so that's why I didn't turn it on.

The way generative AI works means no matter how good the data it's still gonna bullshit and lie, it won't "know" if it knows something or not. It's a chaotic process, no ML algorithm has ever produced 100% correct results.

Personally, couldn't care less. I always disable fast charging and have been charging my phone at 5W for forever now without issue.

Bot farms going hard

Friggin hate how locked down the Quest is, you basically can't do anything with it.

I mean AR was a major selling point of the Quest 3

Ok but that's kinda shifting goalposts. My point was that the vast majority of Europe doesn't artificially add fluoride into water, probably not without reason. Even then, just 3% of French people receive naturally fluoridated water, for Germany its < 1%, Italy also by the sound of the article probably <1%, Spain is 10%. It doesn't give information about natural fluoridation levels in Croatia but it's probably at the same levels and I can attest to the fact we don't have a cavity epidemic.

Interestingly it also notes this in the article:

In the GDR (East Germany) in the late 1980s, about 3.4 million people (20%) were receiving water with added fluoride... A fluoride cessation study found that consistent with a previously observed population-wide phenomenon that the rate of cavities continued to drop after the fluoride concentration in water fell from the augmented 1.0 ppm to its natural level below 0.2 ppm. Water fluoridation was discontinued after the German reunification although still exists on some US military bases.

My point is that I think it doesn't really matter whether you fluoridate water or not and that it's fine to be skeptical of it when the benefits in today's day and age are minor and there might be potential drawbacks.

Africa, the Middle East, and Russia

And, like, about 98% of the population of Europe...

I hate most of what Trump and his cronies do, but from what I've seen fluoridating water has meager benefits in today's day and age with fluoridated toothpaste, whilst potentially having side-effects according to a few newer studies. Personally, it's whatever in my opinion, I'd wait for more conclusive studies that prove whether it's worth it or not, but I also don't think it's a big deal if it's stopped.

It seems that Google just gave them back the permission, 2 days after they publicly complained about it and after 6 months of ignoring it. What scumbags.

That sounds nice but oof 4% turnout.

Never knew those existed, really cool. I'll try to remember that and consider one once my old one dies, which by the looks of it will take another decade.

Oh god, same for half of these, just gave me PTSD
