These pictures remind me of YouTube thumbnails with fhe style of over emphasized visuals and it makes me wonder if people got accustomed to that style and that makes it easier to pass the BS test.

Just think of all the countries and companies that grab this data, group by email address, then start to identify preferences of people around the world. Its not just for identity theft. The possibilities are endless! And horrifying.

 

Announcement by the creator: https://forum.syncthing.net/t/discontinuing-syncthing-android/23002

Unfortunately I don’t have good news on the state of the android app: I am retiring it. The last release on Github and F-Droid will happen with the December 2024 Syncthing version.

Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.

Thanks a lot to everyone who ever contributed to this app!

It's possible, but it costs money to design the hardware so it's accessible, it has to use a connector which has to be robust against vibrations (is m.2 robust?), then there needs to be a standardized protocol to communicate with the card. Does the car computer need to know how to authenticate against the cell network or does the card? Is it industry standardized or specific to the manufacturer? All kinds of things need to be designed and car manufacturers have no reason to invest in they.

The problem is the cell modem in the car, which is hard to replace. Cars last a lot longer than phones do. When whatever network that the car uses shuts down, then you can't remote start your car. That's a marginal cost that the car company has to pay for.

CDs have an advantage over USB drives in that they can't actually secretly be USB HID devices like a fake keyboard or mouse that runs a bunch of commands when it plugs in. It's only a storage device.

A super secure environment might then lock down all USB devices to ones known by them and then epoxy all ports and devices.

ICANN specifically set aside all two character TLDs to be for country specific codes. There's only a few cases where they kept ex countries TLDs around and phased them out over several years. It would be an entirely new precedent if they did keep it. So I wouldn't depend on it

I have my doubts that a company would be able to just abandon a live and operational nuclear power plant. I'm no nuclear or power engineer, but I am familiar with data center power consumption. There are companies in the region that would absolutely build more data centers, but are power constrained from the utility companies in the area, that are not just for AI, but for general compute. Even then, it's low carbon production energy. If you have a ton of excess power, just start forcing high carbon production facilities in the area to close and now you've greened the grid.

While I'm not a fan of the loan nor the massive waste of power most LLMs are, I actually think that's its a good thing because if Microsoft can break through some of the excessive red tape on nuclear plants then they'll bring this online and hopefully prove that nuclear power can be safe and a good source of large amounts of power, when the huge demand for AI dies down, then maybe they'll keep the plant around and provide power to the grid.

Kind of but it's not fair to put it all on the manager. Multiple people decided to hire the person. Somebody else approved that code review. People approved the technical design. Why didn't the tech lead raise concerns with the manager about someone's under-performance, etc. it's unfair to just put all blame on the manager.

The idea of extreme ownership is about not saying "not my problem I won't do anything" or blaming your reports. It's about saying I can and should do anything and everything in my ability to fix problems.

This is my biggest challenge with this extension. What's clickbait to one person is not to another. Several times I've come across titles that get mangled when rewritten to lose key points. Or the image gets replaced with a random screen grab. There's a difference between somebody doing the YouTube face and a title with "the craziest stunt you've ever seen" and an artist photo with a title saying the "a crazy stunt jump through a burning hoop". I'm okay with the latter but dearrow will often remove crazy. The is just an contrived example

One person could still say "crazy" makes it clickbait, but having some adjectives are fine

If you are port forwarding. I recommend not exposing it on the default port of 25565 and instead expose it as a random port. Then, assuming you have a domain name, create an SRV record that points to your IP and port. This will cut down on the drive by scanners who scan by ports, but won't totally eliminate it. If you do use the SRV record, your friends won't even notice there's a different port.

Ah yeah. Mono didn't support WPF, but Mono did support running WinForms apps natively on Linux without using Wine.

 

I thought the model of 3D printing models of the chips to be a really cool way of visualizing how these chips work.

From the YouTube summary

How does your phone track its position in space? MEMS devices! Phones use small micro mechanical chips called MEMS, to monitor accelerations and rotations. These are fabricated using semiconductor technology, but are tiny little moving mechanisms.

Today we're decapping a six axis IMU (MPU-6050, on a GY-521 breakout board, containing three accelerometers and three gyroscopes), looking at it under the SEM, printing up some models, doing some high speed video recording, and talking about how these little MEMS devices work.

CAD/STL models (fair warning, it's a very challenging print!): https://www.printables.com/model/413667-mems-model-six-axis-imu-device
