I made something similar to OP a while back, but added an effect which blurs the screen for a configurable amount of time to force myself to stop whatever I'm doing and step away and reevaluate what I'm doing.

I quickly realised I had to put a quick warning blur so I don't get locked out in the middle of a call, but other than that its been working well for me.

Its actually cheaper (for me in the UK) to run a corolla hybrid than an EV as I don't have the ability to charge at home.

I really did think Toyota would have a nice market if they stuck to hybrids.

I had a family member who became suicidal on Chantix. I was wanting to quit at the same time so when given the option I went with Zyban (bupropion hydrochloride) and had quit by the second week.

What was really incredible though was right from the start I felt fantastic, like I spent all day in a flow state.

The doctor stopped the prescription after (I think) 8 weeks and I didn't start smoking again. Many years later I learned it is prescribed for ADHD and also as an antidepressant.

No, in the UK they can't just take your finger and press it to your phone or point it at your face to unlock it. They can service you a notice demanding access to your phone, and not providing access is a crime.

Assuming they won’t trade or sell it back to the US or whoever?

Not everyone has a device that can use lidar to map the face so it can’t be a requirement.

Kids have been defeating these smile and close your eyes things using photo mode in video games to control a character to perform the actions.

I didn't know about this, I'm on my laptop right now running macos and just tapped the trackpad with two fingers and it zoomed in. Usually I'm using a mouse and keyboard, I'll have to figure out how to do this with a keyboard shortcut.

Thanks!

This is about the Digital Markets Act, its not the EU saying it isn't secure enough, they are saying users should be able to choose to use the same functionality but with different AI providers.

Compliance with DMA would have Apple hand over system-wide access to AI features to third parties, which could compromise user privacy and security.

Siri AI has the capability to read your screen and access a lot of personal stuff. I don't blame Apple for not wanting to open this up to allow any model to access it. It seems Apple proposed a number of solutions which were denied.

While I can appreciate the reason for the DMA, people don't have to buy Apple devices, they can buy any type of phone they want and just use the ecosystems provided by these phones.

An apple foldable phone would be the first phone I bought apple care for.
