> The signs also collect IP addresses. Uh, false? What IP address? This sentence is meaningless, users don’t connect to the sign, so there’s no IP to it. This article is just scaremongering by people who don’t know…

Same. I described my dizziness and pointed me to BPPV and 4 others that were quickly filtered out. I also asked how to further diagnose the issue and pointed me to some maneuvers. I then searched them on YouTube and I…
> passively enforce speeding by using toll booth data Some EU countries do that on tollways but don't keep them always-on because they generate too many tickets to handle.
Idea: use a power bank that allows in/out at the same time. It should charge both at high speed while also acting as a firewall. This is also assuming that your powerbank can’t be hacked. In which case, god save us all.
If you can connect your turned off phone to your computer and start a reset, then that’s never going to be enough. If you want data safety, you must skip the data pins. If you want current safety, you must skip public…
Indeed time to eliminate all those people I guess. /s I don’t think you can compare people’s carbon footprint because those people will exist regardless of jobs.
I think that’s a Safari bug with activeTab, you just have to click twice. Regardless, with activeTab you can just inject script into the page itself through which you can open a regular popup.…
Sounds like there should be a legally mandated escrow for this kind of hiring. The employer should guarantee 2/3 months of employment if they’re asking someone to move across the world. This really shouldn’t be an issue…
I don’t see any changes on the repo. The permissions in your case should just be activeTab and storage. That’s it. You can run the extension via chrome.browserAction.onClick and it will receive the URL. You also don’t…
I assume that’s because a VPN doesn’t let the ISP do any traffic shaping, which isn’t the case for regular CDNs (unless the ISP itself “positively traffic shapes” for) Warp also regularly lets me escape public Wi-Fi’s…

And I love it, but it has two issues: - Apps can refuse to work with that, like Google Photos (it used to work during the beta and it was perfect for me) - Apps still offer their awful photo picker on top of your…
With that logic you really shouldn't use your computer.

Nope, same, they also have one-person street food vendors
file:// can access any file on your computer, out of the box. Localhost cannot (unless you set it up that way, which requires user action) That’s why.
I think people are generally concerned with “badly-designed” TVs and conflate “smart TV” with “bloated TV”. If Apple made an actual TV you bet nobody would bat an eye. In fact many advocate using Apple TV alongside…
Sounds like it’s VNC centered around a remote browser, that loads in your own browser. It has extra features and fewer limitations than a regular browser I suppose, but that’s what I gather.
What's cheaper to program and produce: a speaker or a display and chip? I think that this device is super smart. It's a "cell phone" chip that "reads" the texts out loud when received from a hardcoded number. It could…

If you think Alphabet is nearing “the end” I’m afraid you’re too deep into the AI bubble.
Same exact thought. Imagine dropping 50-100k on a car and getting a UI that looks like pre-alpha. I suppose car owners are used to junk UIs, but this feels like a polished turd.
