There could of course be side effects in the future when this restriction is rolled out, as in your device's Play Integrity status could be affected and your banking app/phone wallet might not let you perform app-based payments from that device.

Some bank apps and payment processor already check if you have developer mode on and refuses to run.

In one of the footnotes: "The audit log will not show that the user accessed the file as a normal SharePointFileOperation FileAccessed event, but rather as a CopilotInteraction record. That’s intended, and in my opinion correct. It would be weird to make it as if the user directly accessed the file when they only did so via Copilot."

So it is not logged as Copilot and the user using Copilot? I guess the chat is logged so it's another way to trace accountability.

Star filter is especially funny since it's used in k-drama opening/closing sequences.

Faces became different on different camera phone. I don't think this will stop. I think it will only get worse and everything will be fake like what Samsung did when you are taking a Moon photo it just outright substitute it with a stock photo since they assume the moon looks the same everywhere humans will use their phone.

Very spammy images. Is this a legit resource? The test is interesting though 6 hrs/day in sunlight is very extreme for artwork.

Also I’m wondering is a fixer would help or hurt the testing. This is common with some art, like pastels.

She didn't even promoted a single pencil brand on the conclusion. She just shows the data and let the viewers decide.

Since Youtube started to show me funny "TURN OFF THE ADBLOCKER!!!" notices, I just started slamming links in yt-dlp and watching them offline. No drawbacks so far.

Mine is now being limited to 3 videos and a warning we will block you next time. They also removed the wide view button. I just copy the link and watch it on Firefox nightly not logged in to youtube with adblock and youtube does not complain. A bit of a hassle but I can still watch.

It is so polluted you need professional camera gear and processing of hundreds of photos together in order to show it. Get real. Internet access for poor, remote rural areas across the global is more important than convenient timelapse photography.

The poor can't afford it. Military use is the only way Starlink will stay afloat.

The key ingredient in a formal course is the formal examination. Be it graded exercises or a written or oral exam. It forces studying at a level where you can reproduce and explain the key concepts and results and apply them to something new.

In theory one can do that also with self-study. Most people don't, they just watch some youtube video or read a Wikipedia page, and then they think they have understood something. But the deeper understanding that comes from applying this new knowledge is missing. That step is forced when you take a university course that has some form of examination in-built. Doing it yourself is possible but non-obvious, hard, perhaps even unpleasant, and it's rare people do it. Some do though, and their understanding isn't inferior to a university graduate.

If there's a method to feel the pressure of classroom test or the requirement of finishing a project would really help home DIY learning.
