Very interesting and watchable. Do you differentiate between wars and "conflicts"? There's so many of the latter and everyone seems to avoid the term "war".

Very interesting, and as a Brit living in Yorkshire it only serves to show the massive rail transport infrastructure North of Birmingham. The North/South Divide in action!

I'd say "quality not quantity" but not in this case...

sensorship-resistant protocol that works both online and offline

I think with the authoritarian and dystopian crackdown on parts of the Internet where people express opinions, this will be a key driver. It reminds me of Cuba's "El Paquete" system. I find it ironic that a system developed to circumvent state oppression should now find a potential use case in our allegedly civilised countries.

Wasn't this a case of people fitting window-mounted units without realising they needed planning permission first? I'm also in the UK.

WordStar was my first (WP) love and I found it on a CP/M computer which was being used to great effect for all sorts of office things. They later binned the computer for an IBM PC and I salvaged it. Worked great for a few more years and I really, really missed WS when it failed.

That's a real shame given the distance LW could travel: I wonder what they're going to use the frequency band for? I've tried using DAB on so many occasions and thrown it out in disgust.

Given these factors, investing in upgrading the LW equipment is not considered a cost-effective solution for licence fee-funded services

And that's another problem - maybe the Government should step in and set up a proper Civil Defence-style warning/information system - we may well need it in a few years - it's a shame our official National Broadcaster can't fulfill the role.

They've somehow managed to breed several generations who's only criteria for "computing" is "it just works". All consumption, little-to-no understanding of how stuff works. As long as it does what it does, and it's "free", that's all that matters.

"A BOM is available under production" - the subtlety is in the spelling... good fun though!

< that's the nearest I can get an award!

Interesting .. when we first moved to my current house we knew it was a quiet neighbourhood, helped by being set back from the main road. What I wasn't prepared for was the absolute silence in the early morning - it was what I imagine deafness would be like, if earbuds can achieve something approaching that, then take my money.

As always, there are some very erudite comments here on HN, which is why I like the site so much. My erudite comment, or rather question, is this: why aren't these people using AI to solve all these problems? Surely it would be a good test of The Product and maybe it would give s[ck]eptics some food for thought?

Fascinating - thanks for sharing!

Umm .. how about a Raspberry Pi Zero 2W powered by a 2000MaH " lipstick style" powerbank?

Now available from my gopher server which gets a lot of traffic for an "obsolete" protocol ;)

In a couple of decades running Linux installations of all flavours, I have never seen anything in lost+found!

Quik is an abomination. I have 3 cameras including the Mission 1 Pro and am satisfied with them. I go on long mucky country dog walks and they've never let me down. Getting the content off the cameras is horrible though: no, I don't want to upload 16Gb of data to your cloud using a poor, 2-bar 4G intermittent phone connection. No. I don't want special editing effects that an only be done in app. Ultimately I pop the card out and use a USB adapter to transfer for editing, but what a pain: surely they could have produced something more user friendly?!

Was that at Microsoft by any chance?

"I see Mr Smith was running in [street/location] when the explosion occurred - we'd better bring him in for questioning". Maybe the Oura doesn't record that, but if they can match other metadata with Smith's ring it could put him firmly in the frame.

I’ve watched engineers use AI to ship in days what used to take a team weeks. Non-technical teams are now shipping production code

Good luck to those (human) teams when the briefness stuff hits the fan thanks to an AI hallucination... oh wait, the Active Individually-contributing leaders will be there to lend a hand, right?

Great, but what they haven't told you is that they'll probably create a subscription for the buttons. Gotta recoup those R & D costs!

That almost how you spell "palantir"...

I always wanted one but could never afford it. Now I can afford it, they're not available

I got the citrus version because it made such a change from the usual. However, I'd love it if Apple could make some truly vibrant non-pastel colours like tangerine and lime devices they did in the early days.

I agree! Having seen how some of the police operate in parts of Europe I wouldn't want to upset them especially if I don't speak the language. I have a burner tablet and can always keep stuff I need in the Cloud.

I agree.. having to spend longer than necessary at UK's Manchester Airport would have me singing like a canary!

The middle finger could be the emergency use one ...

I'm reading this nervously on my MacBook Air, but chuckling quietly with my cheapest Mac Neo (my new travel companion).

Sadly yes. IANAL but under the Ripa Act they can issue a section 49 notice and you risk imprisonment for not complying. However, they need proper authorisation to do so, and the notice must be lawfully issued, so presumably a magistrate. This is all part of our famous British Justice!

Someone, somewhere has an unwatched phone waiting for an authorisation code response...
