Only slightly though. It hardly seems practical to try and infer gender from names, in a way where it can’t be obtained through historical records, or the user.

Getting it to format documentation for you seems to work a treat. Nothing too complex, just “move this bit here, split that into points”.

There is always the front door.

As an example, medical care/inheritance rights are one.

Back before the days of gay marriage, there were no end of horror stories of LGBT people whose partners were dying from HIV, and were forbidden from seeing their dying partners, or for estranged family to swoop in and kick the “friend” out, preventing them from seeing their partner, often taking everything that belonged to the deceased in the process.

A relatively famous art piece has a similar story, where Boskovich’s boyfriend’s family swept in and took everything from their shared apartment after he died, effectively erasing their relationship in the process. All that was left was an electric fan.

The brain equivalent of doing a burnout.

The glass is also speaking, as opposed to a third person.

Plus, like with Marilyn Monroe, their personality on stream is generally a persona of sorts. They’re going to be very different collecting food and paying for it on their own, compared to when they’re in front of an audience.

You’d be more inclined to think that someone who looked a bit like the streamer received the food.

Dude just can’t win.

Ordinarily, this wouldn’t have been such a bad thing, were it not for the fact that he’s desperate to both be seen as an infallible genius, and well liked.

If it was the image people had of him 10 - 20 years ago, him admitting that he likes video games but wasn’t that great at them might have actually helped his image.

The ISP he was supposed to be advertising in doing so, no less.

He’s also useful. A lot of the kinds of people who might wish to be rid of him back in the day would much rather put him to use for their own ends.

I wonder if that’s at least part of what is being gunned for. Since if they’re attacked while deporting someone, it can then be spun into more anti-immigrant sentiment, pushing for more stringent deportations, because they’re violent, and even attacked the authorities.

That’s the customer answer, where they give an age in leap years, and everything goes to pot.

Surely that would very a lot depending on where they get their energy from? Even the most measly household solar panel can deliver 10W to a charger, in which case, the energy impact would be negligible.

It’s also safer, because you’re not connecting something that might carry data to the USB port. Wireless charging cannot transmit data. USB can, so delivering a virus or something that way isn’t out of the question, where it would be harder to do that over wireless charging.

That doesn’t sound correct, considering the amount of wireless chargers that will take 10W, but can only deliver half that to the phone.

I’m surprised that you can wirelessly charge like that. In my experience, wireless chargers are really finicky about positioning, unless they have some multiple-coil trickery going on, which a lot of battery pack chargers generally don’t. Having them in a pants pocket seems like a really good way to throw that alignment off.

On my S5, there’s a little flap that you had to open and close to maintain the IP67 rating. Constantly opening and closing it was a recipe to breaking it off, where wireless didn’t put that kind of wear in.

With my newer phone, it’s easier to keep the cable with a battery pack to charge when out and about, and charge wirelessly at home, since I generally don’t need it done with any great speed, and it saves having to buy/replace another cable, or forgetting to unpack and take it with me.

Qi charging is also pretty standard, which is also good if I have a few devices with different cable needs, but mutually support the same wireless charging standard, since I can put an iPhone and an android on the same pad, without having to swap cables back and forth.

Although most phones made in the past decade will detect that, and suspend wireless (and possibly wired) charging if the phone’s circuits are heating, until the temperature drops.

Except that the numbers are also prone to change, like if it’s been stolen. They’re technically not supposed to be an identification code anyhow.

It’s odd that it takes in that direction, rather than going with trend of other patents, where the patent is for the implementation, not the idea.
