It’s not ai specific. It’s literally everything including basic stuff like sorting newsletters into its own category. That’s why I said it’s all or nothing. It’s just called " smart features" and they’ve had it for a decade, long before ai became a thing. But if you decline then you decline everything. That’s how they do it. They make a huge category and if you decline then you decline everything including things that are considered pretty basic.

The only option is smart features, on or off. That requires Google to read the email to categorize them and do a lot of basic stuff. It doesn’t let you narrowly have more privacy on specific features. It’s all or nothing, and if you get a lot of emails then it’s hard to turn it off if you already use categories. Google always does all or nothing because they know people need some of it, same with location. It has to be precise location tracking to use things, you can’t just do rough location.

Israel heavily restricted imports of construction material especially concrete before the war. Even if you can recycle the destroyed concrete and get some material back to make new stuff there will be a huge shortage of building material.

This is net approval, 0 is a good number to have.

Latino guys in trucks working blue collar jobs feel more like white Republican guys to them than liberal democrats. Only problem is that the gop doesn’t think that.

Also the guy from Ireland who had his subdermal piercings involuntarily cut out without anesthetic.

Lots of people use sunscreen every time they’re in the sun for a while. Not just the beach. And not all beaches are the ocean.

Asymmetric warfare basic.

No one that is an American politician will be directly financed by Russia. It would always be indirect or hidden shell companies.

Senate investigation is sadly partisan and doesn’t mean much anymore. They’ll find what they wanted to find.

Yeah, it was meant to be a joke. Practically it will have unequal impact based on whether you can wait until tariffs are gone to buy something.

Obviously with the caveat that it doesn’t matter if you’re not going in the ocean.

A lot of insecticides are poisonous to animals including mammals it’s just that we have a mechanism that deactivates or neutralizes it immediately. They often target a basic metabolic process that is common across all life.

There’s a guy on Reddit in the space subreddits that is sure there is a natural reactor on Mars now, based on a paper by a kooky scientist.

Within the hardened plaque it’s probably pretty inert. But I don’t know if there’s any data on that.

Yeah. Those usually suck. Official mail truck is way better.

You’ve forgotten supply and demand, if there’s less stuff the stuff that’s already here increases in value so it’s basically the same.

If you haven’t heard, coal ash, fly ash, isn’t really a thing anymore since they discovered that the ash, similar to volcanic ash, can act as a pozzolan and be used 1:1 to replace carbon intensive Portland cement for concrete, up to half off the cement mix. Since then the ash that is now valuable has been used for that instead of just being dumped. The old stuff in ponds is less useful but might be used after some light processing.
