otter,

What are some features you like from Vivaldi?

It could help in a lot of other crises too

During a natural disaster, you could jump back and forth carrying aid in, and the wounded people out. In any time sensitive crisis, you could get people out of harms way. This bit is more complicated, but you could potentially help out during floods and fires, depending on how far the ‘teleport other stuff with you’ extends to.

A reasonable limit might be ‘Only what you could physically carry yourself’, in which case you’d need to be a lot more strategic. In that case, you could work on personal strength and be a one-human-rescue-team. When there isn’t a disaster, you could probably shuttle light weight (but important) stuff for a fee, then use that money to fund your own charity to do good

As for this prompt, you could probably just teleport away when someone might see you, or teleport to spots that people can’t see. So you could do most things that invisibility would allow

Any day now we’re going to see an advertisement where someone drinks water, dry instant noodles, and coins and walks to the MRI room (before being stopped to talk about some self cooking option)

Like this classic KD ad youtube.com/watch?v=iEN2n9bGijI

Or this

otter,

The biggest thing for me right now is backups

I can’t comfortably recommend it to people that will lose access if they lose their phones / upgrade without following the process perfectly

otter,

The process is a bit involved on mobile. Setting up a backup location, using a third party app to sync updates and deletions etc. It could be simplified by integrating with common cloud storage services (the encrypted file)

Also iOS doesn’t have backups at all last I checked. If you lose your phone the messages are toast

otter,

Well sure, but encrypted backups are still secure. What’s not secure (or private rather) is someone realizing they can’t have a backup of important chats and going back to Facebook Messenger.

Backups are a thing on Android, and they’re planned for iOS. It just hasn’t happened yet. People can choose what they want to backup and when they want disappearing messages turned on.

My forearms are is going to be so strong

otter,

With locally processed data

otter,

The hope here was that the device would work the way we want them to

So locally processed data, no tracking (unless you want to track your location intentionally) etc.

otter,

I remember seeing something like that for posture, could repurpose it

otter,

A big positive for driving over transit is being able to bring extra stuff that you might need

A bag of holding would fix that. 100% prepared, all the time

otter,

Have a casio you recommend?

otter,

Being able to lie down with them would be really nice

otter,

Well, it meets the requirements so here you are :)

Also I think this one wins, since it can become any of the other ones

otter,

Oh woah that’s cool

I was picturing something like this at first

en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Power_Glove

otter,

Not wanting anything is fair, but the intent here was the best case scenario (even unrealistically so). So the device would not have anything you don’t want, ads and security issues included

Again, not wanting any device is cool too

PSA: There are paid services that use residential/clean (not identified as VPN) IP address VPNs/proxies that allow you to watch Hulu etc in other countries.

Just a heads up since this doesn’t seem to be common knowledge. There are a lot of different services. You can search “residential proxies” or “clean ip address vpn” and similar. Not sure if I’m allowed to name the names of services, but the one I use (not affiliated, just been using it for a few months now) has a US...

otter,

Sometimes live content (ex. Sports) or lesser known international content can’t be pirated as easily

otter,

What about unplugging the HDMI cable to test, see if it still turns on

Oh cool, didn’t know about this

How safe are grammar editing tools?

Without naming names, there’s a well advertised grammar editing tool that’s available either as an app download or browser extension. This is something I’d value for a number of reasons (good grammar is important!) but I’m super cautious about anything I’m giving permission to watch what I’m typing....

otter,

This one is recommended by Mozilla

addons.mozilla.org/en-CA/firefox/…/languagetool/

It DOES still need to send data somewhere to check

Your privacy is important to us: By default, this extension will check your text by sending it to languagetool.org over a securely encrypted connection. No account is needed to use this extension. We don’t store your IP address. See languagetool.org/privacy/ for our privacy policy.

I don’t want to confirm details I don’t know, so someone else should probably explain more on if this is good/bad

otter,

Could you add this to the sidebar?

!moviesandtv

It’s the new community for that kind of stuff after lemmy.film got shut down

otter,

To follow up: What is a good solution for OPs use case?
