With Merc doing this, and bmw charging a fucking subscription for heated seats, luxury brands knocking themselves off the list. Genesis looks nice

It’s legal. It’s the ability to see a primary care provider at moments notice, instead of waiting for an appt. It’s $199 (now with a discount) for a year, so $16/month? Lots of people would easily take that

Reply to comment by eloquent_beaver in Apple is convinced my dog is stalking me. A vital AirTag safety feature is incorrectly notifying me every day. by MayoFetish
Or it’s apple trying to walk an extremely tight line of something with so much potential for abuse and adding functionality. They’re fucked either way. Shit, this dude is getting alerts about his dog and it’s “news” on a major website FFS. Imagine if the add the family feature and it’s abuse ends up used for stalking. Which as others have pointed out would be very simple.
It’s just not as simple as “let people do what they want”.

Why are they using an AirTag to track something as mobile as a dog? What happens when the dog runs 6 blocks down the street into the neighbors backyard? Or into the woods? Buy the right tool for the job.
Also, if they wanna get rid of the alert, they should make their apple id’s part of a family. Can’t believe a tech blogger doesn’t know how the tech works.

I remember him claiming that it was feasible to draw energy (electricity) out of the "ether". I guess depending on how you define his terminology it could be seen as fundamentally different, but then the more we refine our definitions, the more abstract and removed from how we actually experience reality they become.

just wait until the folks over at /r/juststart figure out how to game the system to have chatGPT link to their shoddy site written by some unqualified ghostwriter in Asia so that you can see their ads and affiliate links.

Oh no, he was definitely a kook. A ridiculous genius, but mans was weird.
Article title is nonsense, but particles do pop into and out of existence in a vacuum all the time. It's a pretty cool phenomenon.

Yeah, exactly.
It's a fee not included on my explanation of benefits to see a doctor that is in-network, and thus a service provider which I am already paying the insurance payor to see for medical care.
That does not seem legal at all.

So the title is misleading and if the article had any more metaphor in it the energy would have come from darmok and jelad at tenagra.
The TLDR is the teleported energy between two entangled qubits.
Basicly if the two particles are entangled you observe how 1 interacts with a quantum feild ( this takes energy) you now know how the fluctuations (vacume energy) in that same feild will affect the other particle and extract the energy used to observe the other.
This is still a very exciting thing. But the universe's books are still balanced and the laws of thermodynamics will not be broken.
