He's talking about physical switches that cut power to the hardware.
I think what you're referring to with Apple is that the camera (on MacBooks) is wired in a way so that it's impossible for the camera to be on without the indicator light also being on. Software can't do anything because it's not controlled by software.
I'd be surprised if it is.
I can't see anything but something hinky with driver overhead mattering this much.
The dumb thing is it's just using locked down android with some tweaks.
So they could pretty easily just loosen some of the locks that shouldn't have existed in the first place and let you still use it.
Edit: I'm curious on the viability of getting a custom build on there. It would be cool if the community found a way to get these supported for the schools/organizations who are willing/able to deal with open source if that's the only option, and interested parties could get their hands on the abandoned ones cheap. I'd definitely be interested in a slightly janky smart board.
I wonder if sufficient community backlash could at least pressure Google to make the process more reasonable, like it did with Chromebooks getting longer support.
There are lots of things you can do with freely available tools if you have decent training data and the know-how to tailor the application to your use case.
I'd bet 95% are wildly overpromising to grab investment money because it's the hot thing right now though.
Man that would be hilarious.
It definitely makes them more interesting. I think it's entirely possible to slow down a duo if the rest of the roster can't step up, but it's going to take a lot of work at the defensive end.
I'll believe it doesn't feel like absolute shit when I see serious reviews saying so. "The same latency as the vision pro (*if you lower video quality from the already lower quality input)" sounds intentionally misleading to me.
Either way, the utility for AR is limited by the resolution. It's still low enough to be rough for text.
If you watch the film he's been playing well this year. He's making the right reads and good throws. The result hasn't been huge production, but they've stayed incredibly conservative between the weather, the defenses they've played, and the inability to get a consistent group on the line. They've also had too many balls dropped. Stevenson is a great back and a good receiver, but he was the right decision and Mac hit him in stride twice on third downs early on Sunday, and he dropped them. Week one, Boutte had two drive killing rookie plays on the sideline, and Mac made a crazy throw over the middle under pressure to Bourne that he dropped.
Everything is right there. It's the third offensive overhaul in three years with entirely different coaching staffs, and it's still sloppy, but they're above average in terms of yards and have played two very good defenses. BoB is feeling out who he can trust, and he's doing it while clearly not having faith in the line, with the right side being guys who didn't get on the practice field until the week before the season and the left side being guys in and out. If they can keep this 5 for a month, I think they can get them on the same page and be fine. Fine is enough for everything else to flow. The problems are self inflicted, but even premium assets aren't guaranteed to fix it with how thin it is across the league. I sure as hell wouldn't give up Gonzalez for Broderick Jones right now.
lol of course it's the organization that makes their players pay for shitty cafeteria meals.
I liked him better than Jimmy. He's just not good enough to carry a couple of skill guys to an average offense, and you need that to win with an elite defense today.
I think it's the increasing trend to athleticism at QB. It raises the floor in college, and to an extent in the pros, but at some point you're going to have to make a read and make a throw, and with the talent disparity in college you never really have to do that if you can use your legs. But you can't just run around DEs in the NFL as easily as you can in college, especially if you can't punish them for overplaying your legs by recognizing it and attacking the holes.
It's still a scooter though.
Guys aren't just one level. Bortles played great football to lead the Jags to competency. When he stopped being competent, so did the team. He was far better than Jacoby has ever been, let alone now, when the Jaguars were a fringe contender.
All three of Allen's throws, and numerous other decisions to throw his body around and just generously be ten steps beyond reckless, were terrible. They weren't even sort of caused by anything the Jets did. He just randomly melts down a couple games a year.
Nobody is stacking the box less with any backup QB in the league. Jacoby doesn't get you into plays that magically beat a stacked box. He doesn't magically make the worst line in the division capable of creating run lanes or pass protecting. He doesn't give you a play caller who knows what a NFL offense is. They're still a bottom 5 offense with Brissett. At least Wilson has the arm to force some balls to their only needle moving receiver.
Wilson isn't a good QB. But current Brissett is every bit as bad.
Arguably betting against their team would be way more likely to trigger the "game fixing" interpretation.
I still think their tolerance for players gambling is insane. A player (or anyone employed by the team) caught gambling on the NFL in any way should be banned for life from interacting with the league in any capacity. If they buy a ticket to a game 100 years from now, they should have the cops called for trespassing. If a TV partner hires them, it should be a breach of contract the NFL can immediately terminate their rights for.
There's no way to respect the integrity of the league if a player caught gambling is allowed to come back in any capacity at any point.
