One of the wildest things to me: Kagi actually warns you before renewals so you can cancel first if you want. That's confidence in the product right there. I'd argue any subscription which won't do this is designed to exploit

Let the Google Ads account run dry, discover your Analytics never actually goes down. It was just donating to multibillionaires the whole time.

Considering the government routinely both decides Google is violating the law but is unwilling to do things to change it, like split apart their ad monopoly, suing them is most likely futile. Better ways to spend your money, like funding co

I think just running cmd still uses much less memory but Terminal is much, much faster than it was.

Yep, if Google lost money/owed damages every time someone got a fraudulent Google ad, you better believe those ads would be squeaky clean. Sergey's flotilla needs a new vessel this year though, so can't do that.

Same, I went from a base model iPhone 11 to a base model iPhone 16. Assuming the trend line holds up, I'm in for an iPhone 21 next!

Apple has almost never been first to anything, but usually goes for "best at it" once it enters the market. I'm assuming you'll see four times as many foldables next year as a bunch of people start to consider it no long

Considering only two major mobile platforms exist and both are proprietary locked down software ecosystems, I assume you have a PinePhone or something?

City/state/US is logical, the problem is most other hierarchies confuse people. For instance k12 subdomains for schools couldn't use that nomenclature because school districts do not map cleanly to towns. And that's befo

The feature is about fifteen years too late for me, unfortunately. By this point I need this feature to let me "merge Google accounts". But then I barely use Google anything anymore anyways.

.us was primarily a hierarchy structure which in practice made confusing and hard to remember domain names, whereas .gov addresses hand out single domains which are generally easy to remember.

What an incredible miscarriage of justice. Make enough money and pay off enough politicians, and you can pretty much shoot people on the street in broad daylight.

Disposable mail providers generate a ton of spam too, but CSAM is illegal to host , so it's pretty risky to allow them unmitigated.

by ocdtrekkie 23d ago
The reason it's toxic is because the Venn diagram between disposable email addresses and email addresses used for CSAM is a circle: If you accept disposable email and allow users to upload anything, you will have CSAM. Whereas a Fastma

I wish there was a required limitation of once per day. Not only would it have avoided this incident, it'd made looking up flight tracking much easier.

For what it's worth we (the community still working on Sandstorm) are also about to release an updated version of Sandstorm . But also as someone who definitely will still be running Sandstorm at home, some of the Cloudflare OS stuff

Blueprints shouldn't (if I know anything about Kenton) have access to the Internet/external locations without you granting it permission to.

For what it's worth, we also ran workerd inside a Sandstorm grain and not only did it work, it performed well . In the same way some people run Docker to run a single thing inside a VM solely for that thing... you can probably use w

The key aspect here is "when an action requires approval". i.e. an action which writes . Presumably you are granting the read access when firing this process off in the first place.

This is the middle of Cloudflare's "Agents Week"... and I believe they had an Agents Week last year. We're like... at least a year or two into Cloudflare being in the AI party. ;)

If anyone in leadership asks me to do anything that I find personally concerning, I'll write an email asking them to confirm that's what they want me to do.

But there's an inherent issue if you look at the sunlight maps for this whole drama that northern states and southern states are affected vastly differently: The solution here is that rather than nationwide making a choice, based on ar

You know different states could choose different answers to which time zone to make permanent and most of the drama of the question would go away.

This is why Section 230 is fundamentally wrong. Because the core concept of it assumes reasonable behavior without monetary incentives . Which is great if you're legislating someone's personal forum about their hobby. But Section

OpenAI proved even being a nonprofit can be handled away if the money's good enough. PBCs are much weaker in that regard than nonprofits.

This is one of those things a shockingly large number of businesses do not understand. The cloud has been sold as magic, people don't realize you have all of the same needs as you do on-premise, you're just also paying rent.

Any number of companies sell cameras and recorders both on-premise and cloud stored which are managed entirely by the customer. Most security cameras you see on any given building work this way, and most such camera systems also support fea

Well I try to avoid running things on the cloud myself, but bear in mind the example here: Every major datacenter operator has abandoned their carbon neutral pledge since the AI race began, and have claimed disclosure of the public about th
