music-map.com is a wonderful music discovery tool I still use from time to time. Not just listing similarity but also weighted similarity. Its a fun tool!

wow - so he acquired all the bookmarking sites and now he's gone too. I did actually pay for it for a few years but realised I never used it more than a couple times a year.

Even the qualification "in the last 10,000" years gives the doubters something else to dismiss global warming.

yep - tried GrapheneOS for the first time today and my banking app detected that the phone was jailbroken.

The Cricut maker 3 is USB or Bluetooth. The cricut software is only just usable IMO. Thankfully designs can be done in illustrator and imported as DXF if you're very careful about the workflow.

Seems like UK might be exploring something similar to CBRS with DAS

Compression

...and that might even yield a better product for humans :)

Surely you'd just turn it off when you pleased? A real life person doing this doesn't just disappear.

Doesnt seem to apply to Experian

Still waiting for good 3G

Doesn’t iOS or android tell you when an AirTag is in the vicinity and following you?

Love that phrase: ‘profitable confusion’. Basically the business model of commodity box shifters

I take tecleandor's comment to mean "metaphorically" compressing rather than actually doing it.

‘Paper’ zero results

The regional licensing and delisting of titles is frustrating too. All the separate walled gardens just making it less likely folks will pay.

One of the everyday astronaut’s videos explains places to watch launches from and travel to/from those places.

Chilling. It seems to be about monitoring for criticism of said government. Maybe the government should be working out how to fund education better instead of covering up its incompetences.

Yes even in the West Country tasers are routinely carried and in cities firearms are very visibly carried. Seems like quite a change in the last ten/fifteen years.

wow - now we have 3 shortcuts for the same thing!

My favourite find of the past 12 months is Ctrl+L which gives the address bar focus so you can begin typing.

Except when a sideloading switch is so easy to access that naive users are easily manipulated into enabling it or having a security policy installed on their phones that disables it.

Engineering disagrees. Having safety interlocks on machines is seen as necessary and sensible to prevent accidental harm.

If you want to achieve something that you think sideloading is the only answer for then maybe try and find another solution? Btw. I’m not arguing we shouldn’t educate people about the dangers of phishing etc etc. just that engineers should find better solutions than shortcuts.

Some people will never understand the need to be vigilant. And even vigilant people have momentary lapses of vigilance.

[edit] i think we’re talking about deliberate sideloading but also accidental sideloading in the same breath here. One enables the other? Accidental sideloading is very much undesirable.

Whats the dogs name?

Hey Janelle. Whats wrong with Wolfy?

Wolfy’s fine honey. Wolfy’s just fine. Where are you?

Your foster parents are dead.

(T2 judgement day)

Came here to add this. Use for Solidworks not so much the other 2d apps. Really speeds up my workflow.

Does it work in firefox ios? (Hoping webview makes it work but dont really understand extensions on ios)

I still have my 505 Vaio. The rubber feet melted into sticky gel years ago. I put stickers on the lid so not sure what state the paint is in. Battery died a long while ago. Pretty sure the alloy these things are made from is not easily ignitable due to being close to electronics. And to make the product less expensive by alloying with cheaper metals.

Its a science - and there's plenty of help out there. I'd like to start an online shop but I'm too distracted! But I've been on a couple courses to help with things like this.

Make sure whoever visits your website matches the kind of person you're making the jewelry for. So if you think your designs appeal to twentysomething girls: post the website link in places where those kind of people will be browsing. Have pictures of the kind of customer you want on your website.

There are minimum 3 things you need to trigger a purchase - this is a good starting point: https://www.forentrepreneurs.com/buying-cycle-and-triggers/

Part of the brainstorming method with a room full of people is to extract insights that should have already have been gathered in research.

It lessens the likelihood that the wrong person is left to solve the problem by themselves because you have the input from others too. Even if they are the person who eventually carries selected idea through to implementation at least they’ve been exposed to insights and conversations from other ‘stakeholders’.

Often consultancies will involve more people (e.g. the customer) in the idea generation activity to bring them along on the journey. Brainstorms can definitely be done badly but also managed well by experienced facilitators.
