This is really an interesting area that doesn't get too much light. I've sat in one of the mentioned living rooms in the Upper East Side that housed these types of antiquities. I won't name them, but they were raided and had over 70 items removed because they were stolen from their original location.

It was quite odd to see; they had a massive database containing pictures, values and auction histories of all their items in FileMaker Pro. You walked in their apartment and you were greeted with a table (itself an antiquity) containing statues of African origin as well as some of marble from Europe. Large format paintings from the 1500s-1600s lined the walls of the living room I was allowed to walk through - they were very protective of where I was able to walk in my capacity of "IT guy".

All of these comments about the server shutdown are from 2025, so this isn't exactly new or news.

I'm intrigued by these TUI posts I see, but I'm wondering how everyone uses more then one at a time. Do you all keep multiple terminal windows or tabs open with these apps all day or just open these TUI apps when needed?

But the author wouldn't get clicks if they wrote a more truthful and less clickbaity headline, such as "My computer doesn't work since I upgraded to 26.3 and I have no idea why".

RIP. I still have a few Tekserve totes around - one of the many awesome quirks of the store. They were great pre-Apple Store for repairs and purchases - make an appointment, describe your problem, bring your device in, and get it repaired some-what quickly and at not a terrible price. It wasn't as cheap as Applecare repairs, but it fixed your expensive fancy computer.

I worked on the same block in NYC for 12 years. Not once was the street ever scaffolding free. Better yet, as described in the article, scaffolding would be up for years in front of buildings. So much so that you just got used to it and when it came down, the building facade and building itself that were uncovered were a pleasant surprise to see again.

These planes that we sell, not just the F-35, all come with a bevy of support from US folks. I have friends and family that travel that globe, visiting US allies, in order to support, train, and meet with counterparts in the respective countries to assist their use of US aircraft they purchase. These friends and fmaily also get flown around if there are any accidents or investigations involving these planes. The F-35 is just the next step in the "subscription service".

This is just flat out wrong. I am on regular Firefox and can install extensions from files.

See: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/find-and-install-add-on... and look under "How do I find and install add-ons?" > "For Advanced User"

They pay Mozilla to exist and they are paying Mozilla to intentionally drive Firefox into the ground.

Come on, that is just crazy talk. I get that Mozilla has made some boneheaded decisions but this is baseless conjecture.

Just curious, what kind of changes or tweaks do you typically make to your UA and why?

I got the spam message with racist words and then this email:

My boss has a few neighbors who are Nvidia and former Nvidia employees and they're all driving their shiny, fancy sports cars and such and living the high life thanks to the stock they got. It doesn't surprise me they're having churn and / or retiring cutting in to their workforce. Probably not enough to be substantial, but enough to count for something.

There is a whole world of space patch collecting and whatnot. The different companies and sometimes mistakes make some patches worth more then others. Of course, flown patches also still collect a nice sum. Me and my father own a large number of flown patches and "beta cloth" patches.

Growing up, I bought an Apollo 9 patch on ebay that I liked. I shortly after got an email from none other then John Bisney who said it was a variety he had never seen before and offered me a small sum for it. As a kid still using dial-up, it was quite the experience at the time!

It was sold last year and at the time the new company MobiMe had a somewhat sketchy privacy policy and poor track history. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36942681

The repo for the iOS app has not been updated in months so the new company that purchased the app last year (and was known at the time to be sketchy) has clearly made whatever changes behind the scenes.

That is what some of the consensus is considering Microsoft is holding an event on Thursday titled “Advancing the new era of work with Copilot”. There’s a chance something gets released on Tuesday.

Ah yes, if there was documentation, it would specify that a Hilton key card should be used. Otherwise, a Hyatt or Westin key card being used may cause an incorrect check result of the door seal and cause possible loss of life.

I've been following this project for a while in various incarnations and it's definitely made leaps and bounds over the years.

Some good stuff in there, but my absolute favorite lines are "People had spent their entire careers at WM learning nothing and were not about to start learning now. The expert beginners had axes to grind. Beyond that, management had a problem with anyone who had made themselves irreplaceable."

Expert beginners is my new favorite line.

After using and maintaining Screenconnect for many years, this kind of thing is no surprise. Up until the past year or two, you literally had to generate MFA codes manually and copy and paste them on a user by user basis to one giant webpage. Most of this kind of authentication seemingly was text / database based. For example, we had a list of 800 users who had access to their personal machines and when making changes, you could see their passwords in clear text (because we as admins had to set them).

Fifty years from now, to viewers of photos your backyard is going to seem incredibly exotic.

I don't know if I agree. I think part of the allure of these old photographs is partly based on how rare and special (for lack of a better word) photography was back then. Each photograph was planned or thought out for the most part and very few people had cameras to take photographs. There isn't a treasure trove of images available and that is what makes these old images interesting.

Fifth years from now, there will be billions of pictures of people's backyards online, with most people thinking theirs are special.

I was speaking with some friends at a Christmas party who work for the Navy - they’ve taken deliveries of planes from Boeing with the same sort of issues that start in the factory. They even went as far as to say the whole lot of planes should’ve been rejected but weren’t. Multiple things not built to spec.

The planes they worked on did not share an assembly line with the 737 but another Boeing model…

Most likely it's due to the different lists you can add or use on NextDNS. I also have issues with captive portals (I run a number of lists on NextDNS) and I just flip it off and on when I need to.

One of many Google projects gone too soon, before its time.

It was also a nail-biting experience... you'd have to wait 20, 40, 60 minutes or more for a song to finish downloading to find out whether the mp3 was the right one or a song that someone had renamed. Many times the song had been renamed maliciously from something by a different artist and you'd have to start all over again.

When I'd jog along the East River, I always threw the island a glance to see where it was at. At points during low tide, you could see most of what was left (as seen in some of the pictures on the blog). At other times, only the antenna would be visible.

Fun fact - there were / are around 36 to 42 small islands around the various boroughs of NYC. Source: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_smaller_islands_in_New...

Don't underestimate the power of Tim Apple.

I can't see how, judging by news from the past year alone.

I found myself at a Christmas party recently with friends who are contractors that work on military aircraft built by Boeing. They basically said the planes they receive are consistently riddled with problems and planes being received are not in-line with the military specs. They recently received a number of planes that they wanted to outright reject the whole lot of because of various issues with the build. Their planes don't even share the manufacturing line with the 737, but another major civilian model.
