This is why my doorbell is on a separate VLAN, without internet access.

I used to take my laptop or Nokia N810 (remote shell over Wi-Fi with physical keyboard) with me to the bathroom. Nowadays there's cyberdecks, e-readers, ... Just imagine, there was…

The people who deny climate change have won, and accepted the [now] inevitable downfall of humanity as we know it. They are enriching themselves to have the financial power to give…

if you pull stuff like that off, and it gets flagged, it is obvious you are trying to game the system. Same with a system like this. It could be used in addition to human moderator…

Argue about taste. At least it is more original than OpenAI (haha, 'open') who started as non-profit and then pulled an Infantino. The Le Chat logo is also cool retro :) On general…

Voxtral [1], maybe Robostral? I just saw on their blog they released OCR 4. Their is usually informative [2] [1] https://mistral.ai/news/voxtral-transcribe-2/ [2] https://mistral.a…

That is not a suspicion, but a (baseless) theory. I mean, your proof is from Windows 98. Might as well been an outlier or urban legend, who knows. My theory is that people in count…

That one time I was able to beat a 'good' chess player at school :-) I still remember that one. Usually I lost, but... I also came to the chess club rather to play Magic: the Gathe…

One problem here is that you know about the outcome. If the outcome is going to be public, this creates a different type of competing pressure, where classmates are invited to comp…

Guides like these are better found via iFixit [1]. This specific device isn't there though. [1] https://www.ifixit.com/Device/Kobo

I have no idea what Whispersync is but Kobo works very well with Calibre or Grimmory. You can change the store URL to your own Calibre(-web) [1] or Grimmory. Some of the Kobo also …

It is used in hockey and tennis, with great success.

Messi should've gotten red in the Algeria match (same ref who didn't have the balls to give star player a card, was doing the finals). Against England, Argentina were playing rugby…

Did you enjoy the finals resembling rugby, with one team not playing football at all?

Maybe look up the name FIFA and UEFA. Given the context, it is very clear what football refers to. Ie. soccer, not rugby or American football.

Must hurt, seeing someone do similar shit as you did, yet getting away with it. Like, mmm, Lance Armstrong, after he got caught.

You know which country the Nazi's fled to, right..? Hint: the same one who act like strongmen on the field.

Look, it is pretty bullshit if you ask me. So it used to be that there were pre-tournament games, to qualify. A lot of countries... they wouldn't qualify. They'd play an ample amou…

The context was France: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=48998632 Since Fifa is Swiss, it has nothing to do with this court ruling. So indeed, why bring it up?

Fifa is Swiss, not French.

Connect a random TV to your home LAN over a VPN? No thank you! I would rather use HDMI in. You can also cache data locally. Or just watch on a smaller screen or tablet. There are a…

I still have artifacts in my dirs of TOSORT, TODO, and DONE.

Aye, though supposedly without the ads. But with filler episodes. You wanted to waste less time, instead you get tricked. Then there's the cancelled after S1 thing which is a self-…
