That setting has nothing to do with facial recognition. Here’s what it covers. https://www.apple.com/legal/privacy/data/en/ask-siri-dictation/

It’s basically for allowing the voice assistant team to improve recognition by collecting references data, and for using usage behavior decide how to best sort search suggestions, when you like to use certain widget, and who should be prioritized in share sheet for certain apps at certain times. It’s pretty rudimentary.

Some people believe “Trump fixed it,” because he said that.

(He didn’t. He actually made it harder to enroll.)

[-] simplejack@lemmy.world 16 points 16 hours ago

Yup. It does this.

The image recognition has always been done with an on-device facial recognition model. Been this way since iOS 10, I think.

It’s just trying to find and group patterns of similar looking things, it’s not collecting and tracking you in the cloud.

Depends on the appliance. For example, LG dishwashers have good track records.

Different manufacturers excel at making different things. Don’t shop by brand, that’s how you get stuck with a lemon. Read the product reviews and expect different brands to be better at different things.

Seems like the consensus in this community has generally been “that thing is mildly interesting, but it’s not for me. Especially not at $3.5k”

We just changed insurance and were able to get through with one provider that valued preventative care more, but our new insurance company is a complete pain in the ass. And the person in my family dealing with the insurance company actually works for the company and knows all the ins and outs.

They even give their own employees crap policies.

Yeah, but the problem is, if tests / labs show the precursor indicators for those diseases, and you have a family history, they’ll still deny until you actually have the something like a heart attack or stroke.

GLP-1s are the hot new thing, but it’s pretty common for insurance companies to deny expensive preventative care, even after all other avenues have been thoroughly explored.

There is a lot of crap that they’re able to instantly deny through your plan’s terms and conditions.

It’s worth reading the plan summary of what won’t be covered, even if it’s prescribed treatment. Some of the shit that’s hidden in there is fucked up.

This year someone in my family started to have to pay out of pocket for their GLP1s because their diseases didn’t progress far enough for the treatment to be covered. They’d rather you hurry up and die than pay for expensive drugs that keep you alive for longer.

You don’t like bread that immediately squishes into warm paper towel cover in oregano?

Ahh, that makes more sense. They’re big but not the largest.

I assume the “Indecipherable” words are expletives? Maybe “fucking” and “assholes?”

And in case anyone is wondering who is probably calling in these threats to close polls, Biden won this district 308k votes to 58k for Trump.
