Just checked and my account was created (and last used) in 2013... So at least they get some old accounts to become active again :D

Your remark made me laugh, but..: "Oct 20 3:35 AM PDT The underlying DNS issue has been fully mitigated, and most AWS Service operations are succeeding normally now. Some requests …

In Switzerland we're one step ahead: ID photos get taken at the counter where they're issued. You get 2, 3 takes and pick the best. Efficient and secure.

We've had people warn for the spam avalanche when we wanted to implement it company wide (about 500 domains). After 3 years: ZERO spam

With an expired certificate?

I am "forced" to allow "our" domains to be DNSSEC because... an auditor suggested it as a possible improvement and some manager thought it a good idea to do whatever said auditor p…

https://theoldreader.com/ Just toss in a site you like, it'll (try to) find the RSS feed, and you're done. I have about 50 sites added in the old reader, and it makes following the…

I used to track all of this as well. Now I drive an EV and there is absolutely nothing left to track. The only thing I get to "spreadsheet" with is the ever disappointing km/KW. Wh…

Priorities. We all have 24 hours, there is no "finding time", it is just prioritising one thing over the another. In the mids of my booming (cough) career, I was blessed with 4 chi…

This really made my day, what a fantastic blast from the past.

Simply because I've been driving TVs for a while and "in the beginning" when there was no rules for brake lights to be turned on when regenerative breaking, I got into trouble (Ger…

With the (ATM) highest version of QR codes and the minimal error correction, you're limited to 4,296 bytes(0). And V40 is not something I've seen(1) in the wild :) 0: https://www.q…

The European Union has a regulation that requires EVs to illuminate their brake lights anytime the regenerative-braking system’s deceleration rate exceeds 1.3 meters per second squ…

And my prediction, based on a pool of 3, is that this 1% will be gone a day later. Have you tried co-pilot? It is the worst. My 3 year old gives more coherent answers and paints be…

Being from that time: it was't. We spend much "downtime" learning, reading and writing (pseudo) code. Remember, coding was new, access to existing "examples" close to zero, so we h…

I had the pleasure to deal with both authorities and the business side of securing platforms that handle the container checks & harbour access. The forces who are, let's call it "n…

Nicely written and I can only hope that some young, tech savvy person reads it and realises how persistent "law enforcement" can be and how scary it is to be targeted by them.

TIL! I had to check and yes, the cans sold here (Switzerland) have the same code. Now I have a new hangup and that's buying those within the right range :)

I have no idea either since: "you’ll need to install and run a new build (links below), and register for a new account with a phone number (you can use the same one you’re using in…
