ScreenWall – Turn old phones into synced widgets for your space 8 hours ago
Sounds great, but why create an account mechanism for something that can be accomplished locally? Who's data are you mining?

My $10 Casio is infinitely a more reliable timepiece. It doesn't need charging so it can be taken off-grid for months at a time, easy to read the digits when half asleep and your eyes aren't working, has a built-in little light if needed, and if for some strange reason I need to replace it, it'll cost me $10.
When I need something more akin to a piece of jewelry, I reach for my Citizen eco-drive ($99), or my Seiko automatic ($150), both of which don't need recharging. ;)
Maybe this pebble will finally fit into a cost-conscious, and reliable model that existing timepieces already fill, but I'm not convinced through the quality of this article.

Did that include the ~40% of employee overhead?

I like the idea, but in S227(g)(1) - "training shall compensate the server operator for the bandwidth and compute resources consumed" - bandwidth can be defined in finite terms for the size of the data pulled, but "compute resources consumed" is arbitrary.

Is it corruption, or just an established business model for poorly paid educators to increase their revenues?

Except that Spotify is now becoming enshittified (battery and UI). When I have to think too much to attempt to use a UI, its time to find alternatives.
You missed one - V2_OS . A full OS written in assembler. Un-en-shittification at its finest!
I ran it very early in its life, got it to boot, then couldn't do much else with it :)
... and you may consider DESQview . Not quite an OS, but a precursor to Windows.
Thanks for that link.

I wonder what Sir Tim Berners-Lee would have to say about that...
Chevrolet Performance eCrate package (400v/200hp) 3 months ago
Also look at the "DRM" controls: " Q. Can I increase horsepower? a. The first-ever Chevy eCrate conversion kit has a locked system that does not allow you to increase horsepower at this time. "
... so you're buying into a locked, digital control system, akin to what John Deere puts out.
This ranks right up there with BMW wanting to charge a monthly fee for heated seats - building in physical abilities, with digital lockouts. You know, you can buy a LS engine, and do whatever horsepower changes you want to it. For those more akin to computers than cars, this is called a "LS swap" and is common with restomods.
This is disappointing to hear and tarnishes a brand like Chevy. Fortunately, we're in a free market; I'll vote with my dollars.

rquickshare works on Linux and is 99% reliable for me, but I don't have a suggestion for iOS devices since I don't use them. https://github.com/Martichou/rquickshare/releases
Interesting - thanks for the rabbit hole today. ;)
Mercer hasn't released many public statements over the incident. Social media posts aren't necessarily public; but I did find this breach notification sample filed with CA - https://oag.ca.gov/ecrime/databreach/reports/sb24-621099 . I guess we'll see if our legislators finally take data privacy seriously.
From: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebUSB_API "WebUSB provides a way for these non-standardized USB device services to be exposed to the web. This means that hardware manufacturers will be able to provide a way for their device to be accessed from the web, without having to provide their own API."
That doesn't sound secure at all!
50 times more likely? Don't they need to supply the data for that when making an "advertisement"?
Thanks for the links - at first they didn't load. But allowing connections in my firewall to unpkg.com, open-meteo.com and opendata.ch allowed them to work. They're simple, but I could see taking that weather example to another level.
Open-meteo and opendata.ch are understandable for the weather and transit information, but unpkg is a third-party vendor dependency that would additionally need to be disclosed. For an enterprise tier of service you'll need to only ship audited dependency libraries.
So you're saying, it's legal to teach AI using illegally sourced copyrighted material, because it's for educational purposes only - interesting argument... ;)
Nice - I like the interface, and its easy to navigate. I don't see a way to test the demo apps, but maybe I missed that?
One thing that stands out is where does the app reside? It seems like it perpetually lives within your ecosystem/servers.
For customers that have contracts with me, I'd then need to disclose Breadboard as a subprocessor given the level of integration in the supply chain, IF the apps aren't downloadable and independently auditable.
You've also probably seen SaaS stocks taking a hit lately...

"Email is tough", software development is tough, IT is tough, walking and talking at the same time is tough, mailing a letter is tough.
When orgs frame problems like this, it erodes trust in the message they try to convey. Email isn't a tough problem, but its a problem nobody wants to really deal with. Email is simple - its a text based protocol, that started out open, but now you need to add security to ensure your email is delivered.
Similarly, I'm using it to write apps in non-native languages, like rust. My first foray into it led to finding poor documentation examples. AI allows me to create without spending large swaths of time learning minutia.
I'm enjoying it to a point, but yes, it does eliminate that sense of accomplishment - when you've spent many late nights working on something complex, and finally finish it. That's pretty much gone.

Not all of those have "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" below the shipping timeframe line. It changes depending on inventory stock. The first monitor in the "plus" list says "Ships from and sold by computersale". Some third party sellers can register a device's sale with Dell.

It was a bug. I have 3 screens, and it would disappear on the third. An update, sometime around middle of last year fixed it, if my memory is correct.
But, I still have occasional problems with my monitors not waking up when I return to my desk. With 3, I've never had all 3 fail to wake, and a simple disable in the monitor settings, then choose "revert" usually brings them back.
Couldn't be burning man, because the people are dressed too nicely.

Backing up Spotify 7 months ago
Really? How about asking google to "play bloomberg news on spotify" next time. Then see if you can remove the resulting chaos from your history so it won't start feeding you slop.
So you buy a big TV, unbox it, and disagree to the TOS. Can it still be used through one of its HDMI ports?
