Likewise, the Save to Watch Later button is also missing from lite-youtube-embed, which is a feature I use a lot.

Yes, you can get to it by playing the video, but that defeats the point. I don't want to play the video, I don't want to wait for the video to load only to pause it and click the Save to Watch Later button.

One approach is to copy the data to a location that you control first (eg: RAM) and perform both the check and the use of that data from the trusted location. That can be difficult though on embedded devices with constrained resources.

A number of the Gmail features are unique to the web app, not standard email filters so while Mail.app will get you the core features you'll still need the ability to run the web app from time to time (eg: updating mail filters)

I don't get why WebSession proposes to use authentication headers like WWW-Authenticate, when it calls out at the start that it's not a replacement for authentication protocols. If that's the case, surely it should just be using it's own headers to avoid confusion.

That researcher was Ian Carroll, who created a new "Stripe, Inc" company in Kentucky, a clone of the one registered in Delaware, and was therefore able to get an EV certificate issued for his new company that looked very similar to one issued for the Delaware company.

His original research site appears to no longer be online (https://stripe.ian.sh/), but you can read more about it in these articles:

Even Google Calendar does this. If I'm adding an event an hour from now, why does the Location auto-complete list show locations that are impossible to reach in time at the top of the list? Is it not more likely that I would be booking an event near to my either my current location or my home?

They mentioned that the display output is currently using a framebuffer provided by the boot loader. I suspect when the DCP is initialized, the screen starts displaying a different framebuffer provided by the DCP, so if it was just used for brightness the screen would go blank.

Daniel Estévez (https://destevez.net/) has lots of interesting blog posts on using tools like GNU Radio and Jupiter to decode transmissions from various objects in space. He's recently also been looking at LTE.

I would also recommend CuriousMarc who has done a lot of work with his friends on restoring some radio equipment from the Apollo missions: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v49ucdZcx9s&list=PL-_93BVApb... There are lots of good explanations of the how and why in those videos.

There are alternative solutions available for those that don't like the Tailscale authentication model, including using Wireguard directly.

Tailscale does not need to be all things to all people, and especially not at the free tier for personal use. Adding extra complexity to the product would mean that it would no longer be the easy to use tool that it currently is.

It's not a good idea to have the decision making happening on the outside of the door you want to protect. Ideally, the outside component should just be the antenna and the microcontroller should be on the inside of the door.

As they demonstrate in the video, you can open their example case with a screwdriver, so then you could either short some connections to release the door lock (if it's self-contained), or connect to the ESP to grab a copy of its firmware and configuration to connect directly back to whatever controller it talks to over wifi (if it's part of a larger system).

I'm not sure it would, as the article seems to say that Sonos requires an ADTS container for the AAC audio, which YouTube doesn't offer. So the app takes an MP4 container, filters its contents to find the AAC audio blocks, then repacks them in an ADTS container.

3.5mm is an analogue signal that can only output stereo. Its quality will be limited by the device it comes out of.

SPDIF (both optical and coaxial) support sending multiple audio channels in their original encoding, to support surround sound. The receiving device needs to support decoding of the audio, which is why there is often an option to force the SPDIF output to use PCM stereo instead of surround sound.

If you have a cheap TV and a good hifi, you'll want to use SPDIF or HDMI so that your audio isn't ruined by poor quality of the audio chipset in the TV.

In most vehicles, airbag wiring is quite separate from other controls and just requires power to trigger. No CAN buses or higher levels of abstraction are involved.

In this case, I expect the air bag module plugs straight in to the existing connector, even if the other controls on the wheel don't. It may even be the same airbag model between the yoke and the wheel.
