I was expecting a mention of all the repositories that are popping up primarily developed by AI prompts. The UI and the READMEs are full of the typical patterns (emojis, gradient/glow CSS effects, em-dashes, etc) and seem just-put-toge

In short: land covenants. In HOAs you will see titles containing terms about the property being subject to restrictions voted for/applied by the association. If you continually decline to adhere to the restrictions, you can be legally

As an enterprise Microsoft customer, you are treated to the same group policies as everyone else, with one difference that you can reduce OS telemetry collection to “Basic”. There is no way to go radio silent without ring-fencing the OS wit

Both/neither, I would suggest. Offloading manufacturing reduces risk, but requires you to have better oversight in other areas before actually shipping. From what I've seen, businesses will often hire someone with specific experie

I was rubbed the wrong way with that line too, such claims usually set off red flags, but the OP appears to not write English natively so they might have legitimately missed out some tempering. e.g. "AsmBB focuses on security in its de

I'm not a fan of the manufacturer dubbing these "Magic Balls", when "sensor spheres" or even "Neuron" from the original article linked in this thread, is more than sufficient. We're not trying to appe

As good as Steam might be, it’s still required for the games you purchased to run, and that doesn’t align with some people. You own your games on Steam as much as you own your music on Spotify. So priacy is still alive and well, and a lot o

Up to a certain point it's not much of an issue, but I had to re-read several sentences and I'm fairly capable of following written text. It's also an accessibility thing, screen-readers and dyslexics might have trouble inter

I was about to respond to a comment that got flagged about this. A lot of this opinion I suspect stems from platforms like TikTok where non-psychiatrists are able to perpetuate the stereotype that ADHD is a "quirky", surface-level

If you're having trouble reading the diagrams, several barrier types are available in this New Zealand Transport Agency publication [1]. The F-shape barrier is detailed on page 10. [1] https://arco.co.nz/wp-content&#x2F

Outside of the timezone-agnostic advantages, .beats are about what I'd expect single notable tasks to resolve to and seem to be a great notation for that purpose. Retrieving an item I know the rough location of might take 1 .beat, disi

Project Farm, a YouTube creator that faces various brands of tools off against each other, has purchased an early (but apparently production) release of one of these. In a recent comment on one of his videos he’s stated he aims to have a vi

I'm optimistic that Apple is working on most of these issues (especially catch-all) right now and this is just representative of their new offering. Like many things I've seen from Apple it will take a release cycle or two (of 1-2

Awesome concept, I heavily factored in the different widths and glyph variations (like O, 0). I was surprised to get Overpass Mono, I would've never considered it otherwise. A couple of suggestions: - Allow editing and preserve the use

I'm not impressed by STH's moves, I'm not sure if it's a recent development or I've failed to notice it before. Their articles are sometimes uncanny to read, as if they were written by someone who doesn't speak

I would expect to see ad/tracker blocking technology to advance as the users encounter more invasive types of tracking. But what if the server requires that information as part of a request to serve content in it's response? This

Cool concept with channels, but it took me over 7.5 seconds to load the front page with half of it before any visible content, and almost 2.5 seconds to load About. Also, hot-linking images is bad practice, it may be worth just getting rid

I can see why anti-rape self-defense is a popular rhetoric as gun ownership has indeed prevented crimes, and not being raped is a very good thing. Unfortunately, it's also used often as an emotional sales tactic, causing people who sho

People around the world are living in places where guns are not used as a solution to crime. There are many in fact that view guns as more of a problem than a solution.

That affects iPhones not Macs, but there is actually an environmental benefit in the form of shipment density due to the omission. It makes sense to not ship chargers to most people who already have a way of charging their new phone.

Google called me wanting to confirm my business address and asked me a bunch of personal details, as well as a 6 digit code that was going to be sent to my number (the one they called me on?). I refused and told them to give me a number to

If you're experiencing volume corruption, or can no longer guarantee the integrity of your system, at that point does it matter that it's open source? At what point do you cut the investigation, reinstall and get on with your day?

Apple's next 72 hours, if not when this popped up years ago, will define their deliberate, public choice for how they're going to handle this. I can imagine their forum censorship getting enough visibility to see more scrapers arc

There is a fine line between doing this to protect IP and actual privacy abuse - and as we're treading it's important to remember how important context is. This is absolutely a best practice in some corporate environments for DLP.

It's not FOSS (neither client nor server), you can't control any of the infrastructure (and therefore guarantee any level of privacy), sovereignty of the data, the data itself, and policies for use which may not align with your ow

It's an update on the situation until they confirm the bug fix is completely rolled out. I certainly wouldn't expect they tell their customer base how they can exploit a bug to bring down part of their business. With respect to pa
