Doubt so, none of the links is working on the site. It doesn't inspire trust, wouldn't spend money, yet even create an account, on a site that has no privacy policy or terms of use.

There are plenty of friends of that one famous financier roaming the old continent, who probably won't ever see a courtroom or prison cell in their lifetime, despite a lot of incriminating evidence.

The same governments pushing for this type of regulation are also the ones that fail to condemn high profile individuals involved in the crimes that these regulation are supposed to help fight. Makes you really wonder if it's about pro

And with more and more content being distributed digitally, and even Sony announcing that physical disks won't be a thing from 2028 [0], the days of media ownership are gone. The only way to "own" content is it being DRM free

Sadly accessibility often lands at the bottom of priorities because developers mostly don't care. Yet, it's relatively straight forward to implement in most modern systems if you start building it with that in mind. Similarly, add

Looks really smooth! Would love to see that write up, or even the source if you would be willing to share it.

Used to have my VPS' with OVH a few years back but noticed the performance was significantly worse than similarly priced Hetzner ones. Not sure if that changed. Regarding alternative VPS providers, Infomaniak in Switzerland have decent

Over a decade ago, I already saw a music festival using Bluetooth tracking to monitor crowd movements [0]. There's an assumption that people just leave their Bluetooth on out of convenience. [0] https://actu.epfl.ch/new

When I set up my iPhone and it asked who's iPhone it is, I thought it would be funny to put in Kim Jong Un. Now it shows up as "Kim Jong Un's iPhone" when I enable my hotspot. Or even better, it says it out loud when I c

Got the UniFi Doorbell from Ubiquiti and I'm really happy with it. It's hooked up to my Dream Machine, records video on disk and I access it via Tailscale. Not paying any subscription and it doesn't live in a cloud.

That's a lovely idea! I wanted to build something similar for safaris but the lack of network in remote areas makes it a bit tricky to use online image recognition models. I never went down the rabbit hole to use offline ones.

When my parents built a new house, they wanted to get smart home features and got quoted 12k CHF (pretty much same as USD) for a crappy proprietary system. I asked them for 1/4th of that amount to buy hardware and do it myself. My phil

I bought a Fairphone 3+ years ago and, as much as I want to support this company, it was a huge disappointment. I switched to an iPhone after using it for less than three years, which is less than the life span I was hoping to use it for. W

Eric's answer is just don't buy it if you're not happy with the warranty [0]. I'm still willing to take the risk because Pebble smartwatches are the only ones I like and wear. I managed to give my OG Steel another life b

There was a number of games that allowed similar things in these days. My favourite was San Andreas Multiplayer. All you needed was a copy of GTA: San Andreas and download the client, the server was community scripted. This gave birth to a

Apart from all the awesome annoucements, what really makes me happy is how quickly this went from internet drama to both parties moving towards doing whats best for the community. Props to Core and Rebble for making Pebble what it is today

Reminds me of my time in Zanzibar, where the internet was censored and some VPN providers (like Proton) weren't working. The authorities then imposed a complete ban of VPNs without permit, with threats of harsh punishment (2000 USD fin

Yet again another company hit by the consequences of being out of touch with their customers and fuelled by greed. Thankfully good alternatives exist, otherwise it would have sent a signal to the industry that this is OK.

I might be naive but why isn't any package manager (npm, pnpm, bun, yarn, ...) pushing for a permission system, where packages have to define in the package.json what permission they would like to access? À la Deno but scoped to depend

It's not an assumption, it's commonly done in some parts of the world that don't have proper waste management. What happens after you put trash in a bin and there's nobody to collect it? You have to get rid of it somehow

A sibling comment mentioned that it can detect smoke, so my guess is waste disposal, aka burning trash in your backyard. Some can produce quite a lot of smoke. I did a private pilot license in Africa, the biggest "plus" was that I
