Heh, my personal blog has exactly the same thing for a while. I always wondered if I died would a reader know before anybody IRL would?

Hey, Monzo's Sort code, the first one to my knowledge to start with a zero. I spent six months unable to pay my council tax bill because their stupid system was treating the sort code as an integer and therefore dropping the leading zero, on the backend, before validating that it had six digits. At one point they asked me if I'd be willing to sign up for a different bank.

Great read. I'd love to know more about how power consumption changes as cards get newer too!

I'm using exactly this TTS engine for my intercom door system I built. The quality of the TTS is very good.

I've been dailying a pixel fold 9 pro for a while now and love the thing. Seeing Apple finally join in is exciting as heck. I wouldn't hold your breath for a non visible crease though, nor for it to necessarily be class leading in its screen tech. I doubt any of it matters though, the Pixel Folds aren't exactly class leading in these regards either and the fold is just not a concern at all once you're using it. it's practically invisible from head on, and the "plastic screen protector" worries are really not an issue either. The durability of the inner screen is actually much better than you'd expect since it spends most of its pocketed life protected from external scratches. Mines still in great shape, even though I do not use a case nor any other form of protector.

Where apple has a significant opportunity here is the software side though. Google unfortunately doesn't seem to be too interested in exploring UI concepts with the Fold, leaving that to OnePlus and Samsung, both of which have imo better multitasking experiences than the Pixel Fold. Apple making an iPhone that becomes an iPad would probably be enough for them to win significant marketshare, but I hope they use this opportunity to do some interesting things with UI beyond what the iPad can do.

Good post. I switched from Bitwarden to KeepassXC / KeepassDX / Syncthing across my Android phone, Linux PC, and Windows PC. This was the setup I had prior to using Bitwarden for the first time. The Keepass experience is significantly better these days! Importing from Bitwarden is trivial too. Recommended!

Full disclosure: I've never owned a Bambu because I've never loved the idea of a "closed" ecosystem 3D printer, however I have used them, and am very familiar with the 3d printing space beyond Bambu.

For anyone considering alternatives: You should know that almost all other 3D printers expect you to know a little more about how they actually work than Bambus. Bambus are as close as you can get to a "just works" type experience, but modern alternatives from others are nowhere near as hard as they used to be.

The closest "easy" alternative is probably Prusa, but you'll pay significantly more for a Prusa machine than you would a Bambu. They're an excellent company, and the complete opposite of Bambu when it comes to Openness. If money is no object, Prusa is highly recommended.

Beyond Prusa, there's a lot of other options. https://auroratechchannel.com/#section2 This list is a good one.

I personally run an old Elegoo Neptune 4 pro - but my needs are quite low. If I were buying today, a Snapmaker U1 or the Creality K2 Plus is probably where I'd end up going.

I reckon until the recent ai-gobbles-everything-up phenomena, this was mainly an Apple problem. Even fairly budget PCs come with at least 1tb of storage. Considering much beyond 2tb NAND gets scary pricing wise, I'm not that surprised we don't see much beyond that.

You can get two in one out kvms for pretty cheap these days. I got mine which is a three in, one out KVM with support for three displays all at 4k120hz along with 4 usb ports for about 20 bucks (although that was at one of those Amazon returns stores. New it would have been around 120 bucks, but totally worth it. I have my work mac and my personal laptop on the left/right of a 4k144hz monitor (although as others have noticed usually you're limited to 120hz through a KVM, but that's fine for me), along with my home server connected for the odd time I need a direct connection to it. Would recommend.

Oh and another fun thing! I eventually just emptied the OneDrive so Microsoft would stop bothering me. This was maybe six months ago or so. Microsoft confirms I am storing nothing there. Just a week or two ago I got yet another email begging for money because my OneDrive was apparently full. It was a genuine email, I went as far as checking the headers for SPF/DKIM. When I signed into onedrive, still empty!

I got caught out by exactly this, and I'm not exactly tech illiterate. what made it even more annoying is by the time I'd realised what had happened, it was practically impossible to get the files back out of OneDrive (since I decided that this was enough Windows for me, and went back to Linux), since the webui does NOT handle downloading lots of small files well, and you just end up getting a partially complete zip file. I gave up in the end as nothing in there was particularly important. This is an incredibly annoying default.

Thundermail is a great idea! I'd be more than happy to switch over assuming the migration path from say Gmail, Fastmail, etc was easy enough, and it supported custom domains.

Recently built https://entrycast.com/ - there are other products kind of like it on the market already but I had some specific use cases I wanted personally, and decided rather than making it just for me, I'd for the first time in my life make it something others could buy too. No customers so far, but I don't really mind, to be honest!

I would argue that we shouldn't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Adding a cost to commenting that requires aging accounts I think might discourage fly by night operations and "experiments".

Gnome Shell in particular offers a ridiculously coherent, sane window management. Nobody agrees with all the choices the Gnome Team took to get here, but it sure is nice there being one way of doing everything that makes sense contextually.

defeated it by running gemini in split screen and voice dictating the response into the tool. got 80%.

literally the only two reasons I still have windows on my laptop currently are fusion360 and apex legends. I was happily playing Apex Legends on Linux for years until EA decided to disable Linux support due to "cheating". While I understand their concerns, I can't say as a regular player the cheating problem is any better or worse than it was before they removed Linux support.

As for fusion360... Freecad is getting mighty good these days...

and suddenly Bose is on the list of consumer products I will consider for my home. Good job!

What a handy list the Germans have prepared

I love this sorta stuff! I once had my blog hosted on a docker container on my Robot Vacuum. I switched back to a saner host when I started getting uptime alerts when the vacuum went under my bed and lost wifi signal!

totally pointless to implement this honestly but I was disappointed it didn't support multi touch :p

I discovered this in the most amusing way ever accidentally a few years ago.

text of tweet: So I bought a networked printer recently and as you do decided to try connecting to it a few different undocumented ways. I tried telneting to it. It turns out that whatever you type, it prints typewriter style. That was a pleasant and hilarious surprise. #internetofshit

Sad that RDNA2 cards aren't supported. Not even that old!

a slightly different (but close enough) Hitachi CPU also powered the Cybiko - a wacky games console few have heard of. I tried writing a disassembler for that particular cpu a while back. Was an interesting platform and oh man the documentation at least to me was gorgeous: github.com/kn100/cybemu/

Can we for a second appreciate how freaking cool it is that a government agency published this?

Tumbleweed. I've also experimented with NixOS which I enjoyed but it was just too disruptive to my workflow.

could you tell me a bit more about what you're doing?

Great read, and fantastic investigation. Also nice to see a story of some big corp not going nuclear on a security researcher.

I can't say for certain, and the OP if they're here I'd love for you to validate this - but I'm not convinced requests to the local admin interface on these Nokia routers is properly authenticated. I know this because I recently was provisioned with one and found there were certain settings I could not change as a regular admin, and I was refused the super admin account by the ISP. turns out you could just inspector hack the page to undisable the fields and change the fields yourself, and the API would happily accept them.

if this is the case, and an application can be running inside your network, it wouldn't be hard to compromise the router that way, but seems awfully specific!

afaik they're basically the same thing. The need to stir comes from peanut butter that is literally nothing other than minced peanuts. Brands like Jif and the such add a bit of palm oil, salt, and whatever else which I guess helps to stabilize the mixture and make oil separation less likely. "pure" peanut butter like the kind the author likes here is available just the same in the UK with exactly the same problem!
