Suddenly I don't feel so stupid anymore for having a supply of motor oil on my garage shelf that rivals Elaine hoarding contraceptive sponges in Seinfeld.

The chance of being issued a certificate in this instance, while theoretically possible, is infinitesimally small.

Are you asking if I think Elon had this person's website on an 80" screen in a conference room whilst they collude how to send traffic to their site? No, I do not. I get thousands …

That points to a glaring hole in the modern-day automated web PKI, not Tesla's dangling DNS record. Hell, they issue certificates to IP addresses now. For cloud systems, ownership …

It does bring attention to: how many other organizations are doing this? Tesla is a large enterprise. They almost certainly subscribe to some overpriced SaaS garbage which is manne…

Wouldn't the same apply to pool.ntp.org then? Maybe running a web server on the same IP as an NTP server is a bad idea.

This seems like a gross exaggeration. This happens EVERY day to EVERY web server out there. I have a personal site that gets thousands of requests per day from bots. Running a publ…

Because serving dodgy ads pays them a lot of money. The pivot is complete. 90% of the ads I see on YouTube are obvious scams. Many from untraceable shady overseas organizations. Yo…

I should have bothered to do the conversion... when I read your post I was immediately reminded of the recent laws in Italy that capped AC in public spaces to a minimum of 25C... 1…

Check out Uncle Pennybags over here with AC in his garage... All "smart" t-stats can be used in "dumb" mode but the remote control and monitoring is really the killer feature. Sche…

Depends on your definition of better. It's a tradeoff I'm willing to make for simple, open I/O. It's not PWM but rather a "call" for heat, cooling, or fan. If I'm refinishing the w…

If you controlled the AC temperature remotely it's a great red flag to never rent that Airbnb. Some people like it cold when they sleep.

For anyone wondering why he would ever do this, it seems to be a type of hidden mini-split system used in euro-style shoebox flats, with a super-proprietary thermostat. Wi-Fi capab…

Got a source for that? Because there's entire continents of people who think it's the most ridiculous statement they've ever read on this site (which they can only access because o…

Gotta wonder how many OUTRAGED about the days when they had to splice into pieces of glass, wrote the tools to make this easier. Now all they gotta do is ring up Google or Meta or …

It's more complicated than that. This place has changed. The biggest tell is reposting something interesting from a year or two ago that received hundreds of upvotes. Now it will g…

On the contrary, you will do exactly as you're told if you expect to cash those sweet MSFT paychecks, which I assume you did prior to this epiphany, otherwise you would have return…

Then you would know about the trademark beef the Beatles had with Apple for years.

I'd suggest building a time machine and going back to register threads.com.

Well in a decent society you can't take things that aren't yours. Nobody using Muse the tool knows or gives a fuck who Muse the band is, the band itself is twice their age. At 32 y…
