Grippler , to Technology in Galaxy S25 Ultra News: Design Revamp, Camera Boost And A MediaTek Surprise?

Can it really be a design "overhaul" when it's still just a square with rounded edges, with roughly the same dimensions?

They've had similar pills for like 10-15 years in hospitals. They just take and transmit pictures.

Larry13 ,

Yeah I had one of these in the late 2000's. Had to wear a fanny pack to receive the data from it.

Very cool, but as someone who has difficulty swallowing pills, I doubt I could get that down. Maybe if my life depended on it.

Slovene ,

Maybe it will also come in a suppository form.

Grimy ,

It would be going against the current though and would have to be part submarine and part drill.

just_another_person ,

They generally don't let the patient try to swallow these without assistance for that reason. A quick gargle with Lidocaine wash to numb the Uvula and lessen gagging, and they just pop it in the back of your throat with a little grabby tool. Works well enough.

HubertManne ,

Im hoping for something like this that can check the colon. I also have a hard time swallowing pills as well but to avoid a colonoscopy I will figure it out. Heck as it is it will prevent an endocscopy so I could do it.

cactusupyourbutt ,

currently the battery only lasts 30-4min, so no colonpscopy just yet

HubertManne ,

yeah may need one of those systems where it can generate its own power. Someday.

HubertManne ,

I meant more things I have seen where the micromachine can harvest energy from body processes. Only a small amount of energy can be gotten but most of these things are pretty low energy.

For God sakes, Bender, keep dancing!

NaoPb ,

Colonoscopy itself is not that bad. They can sedate you so you don't have to experience the procedure.

The preparation is not so great with the bad tasting lemonade and then going to the toilet for a long time. But suffering through that is worth it compared to not knowing if you have cancer.

HubertManne ,

yup. the prep is the bad part.

I had one of these done for an endoscopy - it ended horribly. It got "stuck" so I ended up having to have surgery for it to be removed.

Getting that surgery coordinated and scheduled took months all the while my health was declining. Eventually it got so bad that I couldn't hold down food and I had to be pre-admitted to the hospital a month before the procedure and put on IV nutrition...

Granted I do have an autoimmune GI condition which is what prompted that test in the first place, and the chances of this happening is supposedly quite small but... Yeah I'll take the endoscopy and colonoscopy over even that small chance of going through all of that all over again...

HubertManne ,

you have convinced me in a very real way. Even if the chance is slight that is aweful.

Do I have trust issues when I have to ask where the AI is gonna store our conversations, dick measurements, fetishes, turn-ons, times I start crying during copulation, times I stop crying during copulation, desires in life, and preferred types of lingerie; or are there legitimate infosec considerations?

If I'm going to have a sexy maid robot she needs to fold laundry and clean litterboxes too.

DarkThoughts , to Technology in China's AI-Powered Sexbots Are Redefining Intimacy, But There Will Be Limitations - Are We Ready?

Do those sex dolls have replacement genitals or do people just pay thousands of bucks for what's essentially a throwaway item?

Cort ,

You get what you pay for?

DarkThoughts ,

Doesn't matter if you pay 50 or 5000 bucks. Male sex toys are suffering from wear & tear like crazy. Ask how many dildos a women managed to destroy in comparison.

TheGrandNagus ,

I think that's just the nature of male sex toys needing to be made out of a much softer material, unfortunately.

Kanda ,

I think they're washable

DarkThoughts ,

How is that going to fix the tears? lol

@AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world avatar

I suppose there's a little tank that you can fill if you really want tears.

Dearth ,

Realdolls have removable washable and replaceable bits. I imagine these do as well

Yeah but where can one import these... for a friend?

HubertManne ,

Well I don't want something like that in my country so I to need to know and after I verify its really being imported and make sure it functions the way I think it does then Im going to make quite the petition I tell you what.

Article says male and female dolls.

Also girls have so many toys already, mean while use dudes are stuck with lotion and our right hand and sometimes you sit on your left hand till it gets tingly and then rub one out. It’s called the stranger

Dendr0 , to Technology in Meta To Use Public Photos and Posts To Train AI: Here's How US, UK And Europe Users Can Opt Out

This AI debate is hilarious. Especially from a privacy standpoint, because if anyone were all that concerned about their privacy, they wouldn't be posting sensitive stuff to things they don't control, if at all.

Add to that society trends towards an increasing population, societal pressure that frowns on any talk of how to stabilize or even decrease the population, and our ever increasing reliance on various black boxes that we dont even begin to understand, and you can see we're heading in a direction that goes against privacy whether we want it or not.

Easier to encourage people to make the conscious effort to not post what they dont want public than it is to change all the platforms involved.

technocrit , (edited )

There are many legitimate reasons for people to post content publicly while not wanting it to be stolen by some "AI" scammers.

BURN ,

I have no issue with privacy, my issue is they’re using my creations and content to train the very thing they want to replace me with.

I don’t care if it’s a big tech company or some small independent developer, I don’t want my work used to create and train Ai models.

cyberpunk007 ,

I don't have Facebook but ppl in my families that have photos of me with them do. 🙃
