There already exists "kinetic" switches for lights etc whose switch contains some passive electronics that when actuated produces enough energy to emit a radio signal that can be read by a relay module. They're pretty handy a

Interesting to see Spain having such low IPv6 adoption. Perhaps that's exacerbated the issues caused there by blocking IPs during football matches that we've seen mentioned in recent HN posts.

Are you with SFR? I also seem to only have a static IPv4 (I don't pay for it, but it's never changed in the lifetime of the connection). I asked for an IPv6 but they said it was not possible/difficult.

The other replies answer this question, but it’s worth mentioning the public suffix list which contains a list of domain suffixes that have subdomains that are controlled by different people. E.g github.io, wordpress.com Browser use this li

Some of United's own aircraft are over 30 years old [1]. If you can rely on a well-maintained 30+ year-old aircraft to fly you halfway accross the world I think you can rely on a similar-aged car to drive across the country. [1]: http

No, because unlike a password you never provide the private key for a passkey to the site you’re logging into, which is how many password breaches occur.

It's not clear text by default, it's just not end-to-end encrypted. Messages are still encrypted between client and server. I agree about considering alternatives though.

I wonder if it would be possible to figure out which pins are connected to what on the device's board and just flash the thing completely with ESPHome and write a custom yaml config for it, rather than adapting the existing vendor firm

You get more heat out of using a given quantity of gas to generate electricity which is used to to power a heat pump than you do by burning the gas directly for heat, even when considering generation and transmission losses etc. Given that

It's a shame that some sites are abusing this potentially useful feature to try and increase engagement on their site. The correct (IMO) way to use this is to request permission after a user initiates it. E.g. clicking a button somewhe

I don't think customers not caring is a valid reason to not do this. Compromised IoT devices don't only cause harm to their owners, but also external networks and the internet as a whole. A compromised doorbell, or lightbulb etc c

> SMS is the only second factor that works for people without smartphones. That's not correct. Many password managers have TOTP authentication features built in. There's also increasing support for security keys (e.g. yubikey)

A few years ago it seemed everyone in London used Uber the whole time to get around. It was pretty cheap and convenient. Nowadays very few people I know seem to use Uber (and the equivalents) on even an occasional basis. It's a lot mor

Solar is pretty popular in the UK. Panels have reduced in cost per watt and energy bills have increased so much that it makes it worthwhile for many homes and businesses. We do get the occasional sunny day contrary to popular belief, but ev

Are you sure this is how it’s being done? My understanding of stripe checkout is that you need the secret key to create a checkout session.

I think the motivation behind compostable plastic is to reduce the amount of micro plastics ending up in the environment rather than CO2 emissions. That said, burning non-compostable plastic (with appropriate emissions control) does seem li

How come you compile your app on your deployment platform? I know Heroku does this, but wouldn't it be easier to compile your Rust app on a beefy CI server and then just ship a binary or container image to your deployment infra where y

All that may be true, and I'm not disputing any of it. But all energy sources and storage methods have their drawbacks. They're not necessarily a reason to something out. I'm sure Hydrogen will play a role in certain areas (e

H2 may well be a more potent GHG when compared to CO2, but it's tendency to remain in the atmosphere for a long time is a factor than shouldn't be ignored and doesn't seem to be mentioned by your first citation. I.e. H2 may b

At least in the UK, many of the sheffield stands are made of fairly thick-walled steel and 50mm outer diameter. It would take quite a bit of time and effort to cut one with any hand tool. A solid design would be complete overkill and make t

There's nothing stopping you from wiring the Next.js backend up to your databases and external APIs and for simple apps it's likely quite a nice solution. But if your backend consists of complex business logic and needs to talk to
