Totally understandable.

If scanning to help send traffic to your website, that’s cool. If scanning to generate summaries that won’t send any traffic your way. No bueno.

Ultimately, it should be whatever most benefits users.

Friend recommended the books. Before I had a chance, came across the show. Been binge-watching and really enjoying it. Last episode of season is this weekend.

Will definitely jump on the books now.

1100 patents! Holy smokes.

Everybody knows 0s take more pixels to draw and are therefore heavier than 1s.

It’s just common-sense physics, folks.

That bike lane took forever to get through. It will NEVER be used as much as cars taking up the bridge.

Whining about it is like complaining that sidewalks use up valuable space alongside a road.

I’ve definitely noticed more EA charging stations deployed (especially ones with more than 4 units per location) and fewer broken units. Also, a lot more L3 chargers from the likes of ChargePoint and EVGo.

Unfortunately, most are located in parking lots with nothing else nearby. Maybe some day they’ll learn from Europe and China and make them places you would like to hang out, use a restroom, buy a coffee, or chill out.

If nginx, here’s an open-source blocker/honeypot: https://github.com/raminf/RoboNope-nginx

If you have it set up to be proxied or hosted by Cloudflare, they have their own solution: https://blog.cloudflare.com/declaring-your-aindependence-block-ai-bots-scrapers-and-crawlers-with-a-single-click/

Absolute horseshit. Bulbs don’t have microphones. If they did, any junior security hacker could sniff out the traffic and post about it for cred.

The article quickly pivots to TP-Link and other devices exposing certificates. That has nothing to do with surveillance and everything to do with incompetent programming. Then it swings over to Matter and makes a bunch of incorrect assertion I don’t even care to correct. Also, all the links are to articles on the same site, every single one of which is easily refutable crap.

Yes, there are privacy tradeoffs with connected devices, but this article is nothing but hot clickbait garbage.

In an international context, not everybody speaks English. A Japanese customer wants to switch to French. Which language should the language picker be in?

Alternative is to put the flag of each language next to the name in the picker. That way, whoever doesn’t read the current language can at least pick by icon.

I always wondered if Gogoro-style batteries, but for cars could be a thing. Doesn’t need to be automated. You pull up, twist and pull out ten ‘pods’ and replace them with fresh ones. Then drive off. Want a quick top-off, just swap out two. Pay for what you use.

As battery density improves, your range goes up too. They would need to engineer the access ports and the battery/BMS interconnect. No need for expensive, automated swap stations. Any gas station, hardware store, or grocery store could have a battery swap wall. Like 7-11s in Taiwan for Gogoro.

CAT-10. The other one has the first 9.

They’ve already got it mapped out.

ILL is the older system, where you make the request to the library and they go try to find it.

There’s a newer “Link+” service where you can do the search yourself and request delivery to specific branches. Supported by a lot of member libraries, for example: https://sfpl.libanswers.com/faq/103121

In our library system, they don’t put Link+ holds with normal holds. You have to go ask someone to look. We get an email that it’s arrived and we have 3 days to pick it up.
