The security implications are one thing, but another issue to me with email codes is that you now have to wait for an email to arrive. At worst this can take a few minutes, at whic…

The one thing I know Anker for is that they were uploading the feeds of their doorbell cameras without encryption (even though they claimed e2ee), and iirc they were also uploading…

Apple doesn't keep their emoji list up to date. Apple invents new emojis, implements them, and once enough people are using it, unicode will pretty much have to incorporate it. The…

What do you mean "I'd say"? It's obviously a fact. Github copilot uses an llm for its autocomplete, so obviously it falls under llm generated code.

AI auto complete is still generative AI, why would that be any different? Unless you're talking about regular intellisense-like auto complete, which of course does not use generati…

idk, they probably tried to get people on DC's as close to their location as possible. Using your phone number's country code might seem like a good way to do this at first, and th…

Yes, but existing software has already been built around the scenario of only accepting request methods you actually handle.

Yes. They want to get rid of immigrants for example.

The point is that if you do that, you end up with lots of undefined behaviour in existing software that has not been patched yet. If you make it a whole new request method, existin…

It's free for personal use, and for a company 96/year is absolutely nothing, I'd hope.

The agent is instructed to execute this Python script: https://github.com/AndrewVos/endless-toil/blob/main/plugins/... So looks like it's mainly looking for FIXME/TODO etc comments…

I don't think that's the case. I have the Earth View extension installed which shows a random google earth image. I have this set as my homepage in Firefox as moz-extension:// /ind…

According to the article, they did have a human verify the images before sending the alert. Apparently they and the school still think they made the right call.

> A typeface is the design; a font is its specific instance. This is basic knowledge, taught to children, houseplants, and most domesticated goats. I didn't know this, and this exp…

What are you talking about, e-ink is much nicer for things like this. An OLED produces actual light, and uses way more power. I wouldn't want an oled display on 24/7 in my living r…

I just want to be able to save the image to a folder and copy it to my clipboard when taking a screenshot. iirc in KDE Plasma's Spectacle, these options are checkboxes, you can ena…

The convention at every company I've worked at was to use DTO's. So yes, JSON payloads are in fact validated, usually with proper type validation as well (though unfortunately that…

> This is a key difference between RTOS and Linux, where operations wait in an execution queue. And this is one of the reasons why Linux isn’t used in professional security systems…

I had the same feeling. It looks like a super cool product, and I'd love to do something with it. I just have no idea what.

I've also worked with payment processors a lot. The ones I've used have test environments where you can fake payments, and some of them (Adyen does this) even give you actual test …

By default, the archive just extracts when you try to open it. I don't think MacOS has an archive explorer by default.

There's also some better pictures in one of the article's sources: https://web.archive.org/web/20160205050218/http://strzyzewsk...

I don't recognise the 5g battery life issues personally. I do 100% agree the GPS thing is such a bad decision. It just becomes noise that no one pays attention to anymore. I ended …

Organic Maps has a flatpak, though oddly they don't refer to a desktop app on their website anywhere so idk how trustworthy this is. Unfortunately CoMaps doesn't seem to have deskt…

Yeah, 1 FTE just equals 40 work-hours.
