It's because it's on dark mode

But the dashboard looks like this

I remember international flights that had several outside cameras, one looking slightly down and forward was the best by far, although most of the flight it was just clouds and during landing that one turned to face forward so you couldn't see the runway. Haven't seen them recently though.

Bobby's mum and dad decided that the only way to pull off a Sunday afternoon quickie with their 10-year-old son in the apartment was to send him out on the balcony and order him to report on all the neighbourhood activities.

The boy began his commentary as his parents put their plan into action.

"There's a car being towed from the parking lot," he said. "An ambulance just drove by." A few moments passed.

"Looks like the Anderson's have company," he called out. "Matt`s riding a new bike, and the Coopers are having sex."

Mom and dad shot up in bed. "How do you know that?" the startled father asked.

"Their kid is standing out on the balcony too," his son replied.

I mean the idea for WEI is to combat bots and AI so it isn't really surprising AI is going to be against it.

But seriously, Bard is just consolidating what it finds on the internet (it's not intelligent), so all this really says is that there are plenty of web articles against AI in its search database.

To be fair, O2 has a massive issue with scammers and they need to do something about it. I switched to O2 about a year ago, keeping my old number. I'd rarely get scam calls or texts before I switched but since I've been with o2, I get 5-10 calls a week. Particularly annoying because I have to answer my phone due to my job

This is a massive waste and is effectively a subsidy for the fossil fuel industry. There are already existing laws for battery and electronics manufacturers to be responsible for their waste. Why isn't the fossil fuel industry responsible for paying to clean up its waste (CO2)?

The technology sucks too (no pun intended), even carbon capture at source isn't that efficient when the concentrations are high. Trying to capture CO2 from air where is around 400 parts per million (0.04%) is a complete waste of time and money.

For those interested, these guys have done the math. Using Exxon's target for future cost of this technology ($100/tonne which is already 1/10th of todays costs, $1000/tonne), it will cost $3.6 trillion a year to absorb how much CO2 we produce. More if we want CO2 levels to come down.

The only effective way to combat CO2 is to stop digging up fossil fuels.

Agreed about the data farming, but I would recommend reading this if you haven't already. Not properly implementing the conventions is basically step 1 in that article.

Nobody's mentioned it, but the main thing for me is that the screen aspect ratio isn't any good.

I've always preferred bigger screens and bigger phones and willing to pay a bit extra for a foldable screen now they've been on the market for a while. I doubt they'll last as long as a normal phone screen, but they generally review well and I get they impression they are more durable than most people expect.

But.. the main benefit of a big screen (for me) is for watching videos. If it's not 16:9 (or close to it) then what's the point? I don't need to multitask on my phone, I'll switch to a laptop for that - I've had phones that do split screen for years and it was a cool gimmick for a while, but I've never really made good use of it.

If anyone can tell me of a phone with a big screen and 16:9 aspect ratio then I'd be willing to reconsider...

Just for completeness, add 0 and you have the complete set of single digits.

When they've reached end of life for the car, they are still useful.

EVs require high energy density so they get replaced when they don't store enough energy for their weight. However for grid storage, weight doesn't really matter (at least not as much) so a battery with 80% of its original capacity is a good (and cheap) solution.

When the market is mature, it will good for car owners who need to replace their batteries because the old one still has value.

My search came up with task rabbit uk as the first sponsored result...

Is it just me that gets triggered by these US companies which exist only to be an IT based middle man? Like mini cabs existed before Uber, but everyone acts like they never knew these things existed?

Being the first to introduce the ban by 5 years has driven a lot of zero carbon transport investment to the UK. If it changes to the same as the EU, then why not set up there. Can totally understand why Ford UK is pissed, it wont be around much longer now as Ford focus investment in Germany.

I imagine this is how Apple would justify it - if there are internal screws or shields missing then it's a sign that it has been repaired previously by a 3rd party. It might work fine, but it's not to the original Apple specification.

The Apple store don't want to take responsibility for those repairs so refuse to do further work in case it leaves them with liability.

You're my wife now Dave

There's also work showing sheep can maintain the grass under the panels while the solar panels providing shade.

I still think over carparks or rooftops is better, but it shouldn't detract from using farmland. We need to phase out fossil fuels as fast as possible.

I read that as "he is being prepared for the coroner"

Forget about the AI. There is so much wrong with this.

1. If it gets it wrong, either false positive or false negative, then there are serious consequences. This means there is no way it can "play it safe" with an answer.
2. I don't trust that it's not capturing and storing data. The risk of a "highly personal" data being leaked is completely unwarranted.
3. It works from a photo, therefore it's unlikely to pick up much more than you can see by eye. You'd be better off just learning what to look for.
4. It won't detect STIs with no visual symptoms, so provides an entirely false sense of confidence, potentially increasing the risks of those STIs to the general population.
5. Let's say it works perfectly, and the AI algorithm runs completely locally with no data being transferred to the cloud or being captured/stored. Do you want to have someone you don't trust about being honest about STIs taking a photo of your genitals?

That's what I can come up with in 10 seconds. Feel free to add to the list, I'm sure it's not complete...

Sheep and solar panels is a great combination. The sheep maintain the grass and reduce issues with panel maintenance while the panels provide shade and shelter from the weather for the sheep.

My car is off the road at the moment so I've been looking into public transport alternatives. For reference, driving to work is 10 miles, takes 25 minutes and costs about £2 in fuel each way. I pay around £1.20 for parking at work.

To go by bus, it would be 3 buses, take 2 hours and cost £4 each way (there are a few different options but they all work out the same). The train could replace one of these bus journeys and reduce the time to just over 1 hour but would cost £10 for a day return.

Both of these are only available once an hour so depending on what time I need to be at work, I might need to leave up to an hour earlier for my commute and it would still cost me twice as much as driving.

I'd be willing to pay a little more because I could work/read on public transport, plus getting rid of the car would save maintenance, tax and insurance costs, but double for the bus (or triple for the train) is excessive.

However, the major issue for me is the time - I already spend the best part of 1 hour commuting and this going up to 5 hours is not workable.

Alternatively, I could move close to my workplace, however house prices in the city are at least double what they are here and rent would be 40% of my salary after tax.

The issue stems from everything public transport being in a star network, I have to get a bus to the nearest town, bus/train to the city of my workplace and then bus to the workplace. Even though I live in the next town over on the side closest to my work. My workplace is also on this side of the city.
