That’s last point reminds me of the Second Sight situation where they abonan their tech. Previously discussed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30349871

How does this impact security researchers? Or just student developers or tinkerers? This all seem like bad idea.

I would imagine security researcher could be registered developer but I could also see autobans if that is a thing to their accounts making life complicated.

Also some folks just being locked out of the due to government censorship etc..

Reminds me of this short story by Asimov with nobody votes anymore just computer predicts the outcome. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franchise_(short_story)

Possibly for systems that don’t support post quantum. Im guessing plenty of legacy systems that need to be wrapped by something like this for site to sites in the government.

I still have my original Adam in the box, and I’ve been meaning to try and get it running. It was the first computer we had at home, and I have amazing memories of playing Buck Rogers on tape and other cartridge classics.

We ended up with two systems because the first one died along the way in 1983 or '84.

This brings back fond memories, including the desk my father built, which had a monitor stand and a cutout for the keyboard.

I feel lucky to this day that my parents invested in the Adam.

I hope it doesn’t. At times need to run windows stuff and just prefer to just start a vm without networking. I wonder how this impacts people who do testing. Maybe they just have domain joined machines or just use windows accounts.

I fully agree with distracted driving, but also think this beyond the car size though. I think those should be limited, but will be met with that’s going to be met with resistance. The US is just completely hostile to pedestrians both in how they build roads and how drivers think of pedestrians. I’m all for rules for car sizes for other reasons but this is cultural problem the US has and needs to solve.

This last month I’ve been in around Paris and felt SO much safer walking and respected by drivers than I do walking around my house a city in twin cities.

Definitely

Intel’s newer desktop cpu support ecc. The challenge would be getting a chipset. On like w680 it is supported and fairly most chipsets don’t unsure tbh. I have a w680 and it does.

This also where I landed with Brave as it seems to be working great for all of devices. Runs smoothly and I don’t really have a problem full with many sites on aggressive mode. I’ve had the sync’ing feature go flaky a few times, but over all good experience.

My big gripe with FF honestly is the lack for PWA ( progressive web apps) If they resurrect that effort I’d give it a shot. I’m not really interested in running another browser for that feature.

Also the brave privacy settings are remarkably better “by default” across all my devices. I’m sure Firefox can be configured to be hardened I just have other ways I’d like to spend my time. Heck I’d even pay for better option for all my devices.

Well that answers why my keys no longer work on recent re-install. Ended up having to get grey market key. Figured after 10 years wasn’t the worst expense, but the amount of adverts and telemetry they gather for the price not sure it’s even worth the 15 dollars.

As someone who is just engineer / architect and has to have all my trades approved and accounts granted access to reporting for not only my self but my partner. it really annoys me that these folks are not under more scrutiny. I don’t even have really any information to what these government officials do.

This to me falls under the “rules for thee not me.”

Thicker tires solved most my problem and would agree to try something more durable. Though no idea what type of flat they are getting. Also make sure to be riding at a good tire pressure.

Personally I started having quite a few flats with some conti 5000s for couple years. Decided to move to Conti Grand Prix 4 season tires have not had but one flat and pretty sure that was a pinch flat. Self induced pot hole I didn’t hop over.

This comment reminds me of the movie Boiler room and now that I think of it reminds me of this whole crypto industry imo.

Man this statement resonates with me.

I’ve found some folks view transferring power to benign government seems like good idea, but I think they fail to realize getting that getting that power back won’t be so straightforward if or when it doesn’t work out that government is no longer working for them or supporting their ideals, but the government is instead ruling them.

We have had to pretty good lately tbh in the US compared to some though honestly the could be questionable also depending on the values one has.

Fully agree. As it is fine most the time it comes back to the other part where it is wrong.

Example: living in cold weather climate my outback just stops cuts the engine when exhaust from the car leaves car in front of me on cold day( large cloud of vapor). The visual collision avoidance detects this as car and cuts the engine. This is not the place you want to be leaving an intersection with people accelerating behind you.

Unless this backed by lidar / radar or combination that is more accurate I don’t see this as pro. Top reason I can’t stand my outback is the decisions it makes incorrectly.

Of course there is no way to get any of this fixed in my outback other than selling it. Consumers are getting the shaft on technology in their cars imo and are being treated as test pilots.

Can’t agree more with this statement! Definitely on my yearly renew list!

Or let’s talk about just how about the Garmin is actually a rugged device and usually clipped directly to an individuals clothes/pack. I can’t imagine iPhone is as durable and that typical protective case can be or will be attached to the individual hiking.

There are still situations I think sos on iPhone 14 does make sense. Like driving in middle of nowhere without signal and having car troubles.

I would also though agree people may get this false sense of safety, but I’m sure having something is better than nothing and having 2 options is better then 1 and maybe someone else hiking may find an someone who needs emergency help and doesn’t have inreach and able to help. The iPhone isn’t useless as sos device, but I will know I’ll be counting on my inreach on my adventures as my emergency beacon even if I did have iPhone 14.

Remember my time in the us navy in the late 90s and 00’ using paper tape for a few things including loading crypto. I can’t exactly remember what also we used it for, but was strange to think of even then and often now wonder if paper tape still exists in navy. Plus side ii is pretty easy to destroy and also not impacted by any sort of emp if there was to be one.

Tape reader here http://www.prc68.com/I/CryptoM.shtml#KOI-18 and with some other fun devices like kyk-13

Thanks for post now I’m wondering what the sister project is to write paper tape as easy to store my own crypto keys.

I have been using duck go for what seems like 4 years now. I also just use the !g if the results are bad, but over the holidays I noticed more scar operations on there product searches. I’m not quite sure why, but when looking for gifts or just things I was interested in I was driven to knockoff sites or total scam pages with multiple urls leading to the same scam. I’ve since reported these, but I will say google still seems to be best at product search imo. This still will not drive me away from DDG, but wish they would do better screening. It is hard to recommend things like that to my less savvy friends and family.

Has anyone else seen this?

Second this EFF is where I would go to support this myself snd do monthly. ACLU has lost its way picking civil rights to support or not.

I can’t speak for Ubuntu, but all of my containers are setup in docker compose for podman things start find there is a couple tweaks like container name I had to make, but over all pretty straightforward. I’d recommend another go if you are looking for an alternative.

As I like rootless containers. I think the implementation feels awkward for local directory permission mounting volumes.

Let’s say Bernie is saver. He could have easily a massed 3 million by his age. This if he had started at younger age let’s say 20. Compounding interest is a pretty powerful force over years . Bernie is not quite a young guy and has been working his entire life.

3 million isn’t exactly a lot of you live within your means and save.

That reminds me of book the way you put that with automated high speed rail.

It seems like we have wanted to solve the highway congestion problem since its inception, if that was published in 1940.

As I think I previously posted about this. It will also see exhaust coming up on cold winter day as an obstacle and brake unexpectedly at light. It literally is worst and wish it could be disabled by default.

Additionally, the back up sensor is a tad over zealous also.

If you really want to be sad about the situation. When I had gone to Norway on project fi I had minimum of 4 bars anywhere I went too of mountains, tunnels under mountains miles long and out on the boats between ports.

Now Norway is the size of about the California and probably easier to cover one could say but the population far less and I can’t imagine what the telcos bring in per user which doesn’t even even go towards their infrastructure.

US mobile and internet cover is crap and will need regulatory intervention if we want to get it in rural areas IMO.

Saw BBS toolkit near the top and had to wonder if Maximus BBS was on the list and It was! So many memories setting that up back in the day and using other local BBS based on Maximus.

I’ve done some more recent setup of major BBS to replay some muds and this sure brings back some pleasant memories.

Thanks for the post down nostalgia lane!

Wish we could see something like that happen, but you are going to need some representatives to vote against their best interest. Kind of like why run off voting will never see the light of day.

Much like they just stay out of 2nd amendment…

As I support their efforts generally. I find picking and choosing seems counter to the what protecting our civil liberties means in a whole.

Fully agree with return to office in line with mask mandate. I’m not sure if you tried talking to someone over hangouts/zoom/teams while they where a mask. It’s next to impossible to understand what they are saying with it on. If we are looking at hybrid most chances someone will be remote.

Next marketable item is masks with Bluetooth microphones I guess…

I am so glad I found a new fully remote job to skip going back to the office.
