What’s a melty cookie? Like temperature warm so the chocolate is melting?

Having used their software in the past, I’m personally quite uncomfortable with this technology being used to monitor American citizens.

YouTube has a subscriptions feed that shows videos only from channels you follow.

I’ve found that turning the watch history off results in more accurate and relevant recommended videos from videos you watch from your subscribed channels.

When the recommended videos suddenly go off kilter, it’s telling that the video you’re watching is somehow related to the weird side of YouTube.

I’ll admit, this took a few seconds and a reread to process correctly. Well played

If instance owners do not want to vet their users behavior if other instances speak up, the instance that is misbehaving gets defederated from the rest. That’s the power of federated services.

Ooo thank you, I’m definitely out of date by now

Quantum entanglement/teleportation does not mean information transmission exceeds the speed of light. You’re still limited to sending entangled particles to your destination following the laws of physics. You cannot transmit information via this phenomenon.

What you can use this for is transmission integrity. Where you will know if an outside observer intercepted your transmission then sent it on its way to the destination. This is more commonly known as a man in the middle attack (MitM).

Nice, sounds like removing that screen protector is the move. Which makes me wonder why they put it on there if it only causes problems later.

Don’t know about the flips, but the folds do. And only on the flexible interior screens despite them also having a regular hard external screen. The screen protector on the flexible screen is the source of all of my problems, which makes me wonder if the stylus would scratch the screen without that screen protector.

If that is the case, then I wonder if that (as ridiculous as it sounds) might actually be a good preventative measure. At least for when the thing begins detaching from the middle. Do you use yours with a stylus? Does the stylus tip damage the unprotected screen any?

Ah lucky, did the entire screen protector detach all in one go? The biggest concern here is if it happens to partially detach only along the middle folding part, while remaining completely attached across the flat parts of the screen.

The screen will still eventually fail once the screen protector eventually fails.

The physics behind the screen failing is due to the screen itself interacting with a detaching screen protector that forces the screen into a herringbone pattern. Unless you get lucky to carefully avoid this from happening, once the screen is in this shape, the crease that kills it is inevitable as the screen tries to straighten out to fold back closed. Because this thin film screen protector is still a requirement of these flexible screens, the moment they begin to detach and you’re past warrantee, your device is soon to be a fancy paper weight unless you want to connect it to another monitor for the rest of its lifetime.

Unless you’re expecting to replace the device after the warrantee runs out and the screen fails once again, it’s still doomed from the start.

Post warrantee screen replacement for this device is still $600+. Samsung has not reduced the price on their flexible OLED screens even though these devices have existed and been sold to consumers for years now.

As someone who owns a Fold, do not buy this thing.

Having the flexible screen facing externally on one fold seems quite reckless considering how fragile they still are by virtue of needing to be flexible. Having a Fold 4, the screen definitely relies on the thin film screen protector that the flexible screens come with. But because the screen is contained internally, it’s protected by the device.

Having it unprotected means any drops on a surface that is able to hit the screen directly will most likely lead to cracks in the LED layer and kill the screen. And the geometry of the folded part would imply that any impacts will most certainly lead to cracks. You can test this by folding a piece of paper in a similar manner and then hitting the folded part. It’ll make tiny very sharp creases in the paper, and these creases are what kills the screen.
