For anything I don't control, like door locks at work, I'm with you.

For a device controlled by me, the tradeoff for convenience is so much better.

If it's properly implemented, extracting biometric features is hard, so stolen fingerprints are less of a concern.

It allows me to use a long password, which in android also serves as an encryption key for the filesystem, while allowing me to unlock my phone without entering that password every time.

Man könnte noch argumentieren, dass es in Sichtweite gilt und die Bewohner dieser Institution durchaus kurzsichtig sind.

There should be an external hard drive full of portable game installs in some drawer that fits the time period.

Should easily kill a week.

Coconut at least...

That's a legitimate concern, but this can be easily mitigated by routing "guest" traffic into a VPN.

Guests might encounter more captchas than usual but better than no internet.

Wäre es evtl eine Option, direkt aus der Bubatzkarte OSM-Notes aufzumachen? Dann könnte man die potentiellen Datenprobleme auf OSM-Seite angehen.

That feature is right on the border between real neat tech and deeply unsettling.

"Hey, my phone uses its last few electrons to turn into a bluetooth beacon to stay findable" sounds like sci-fi "reserve power emergency mode"

"I can't turn off the locator chip in a device that holds half my life and memories" is just dystopian.

I'm wondering if there would be a way to keep it useful while minimizing impact for people who stay off the grid. A hardware switch would probably be a good start but they won't fly with current all-touch designs.

I'm with you on LLMs being over hyped although that's already dying down a bit. But regarding your claim that LLMs cannot "understand context", I've recently read an article that shows that LLMs can have an internal world model:

Depending on your definition of "understanding" that seems to be an indicator of being more than a pure "stochastic parrot"

Ah, you "work" in "marketing"?

Zur besseren Findbarkeit: Es heißt "Lateral" with Tom Scott, von lateral thinking - Quer- oder um die Ecke denken, aber ohne die Konnotation, die Querdenken seit Corona hat.

Yeah, nearly the same here. Brouter-web for planning + overpass queries to find infrastructure POIs (drinking_water, supermarket).

On the go: OSMand installed via F-Droid, following the gpx track or routing with brouter on my phone.

I've got a routing profile for following designated bike routes (luckily quite plentiful in Germany) and one that concentrates on good surface conditions for bad weather set up in brouter that are bound to two different profiles in OSMand.

I'm switching in and out of the cycloroute style on OSMand. It's useful for planning, but on the bike I'm not used enough to it to interpret it at a glance.
