I was pleasantly surprised when there was an update to my Flymo robot lawnmower app where they _removed_ the requirement to setup an account to use it. Seems most other companies are going the other way though.

Won't happen - Erdogan has written Trump's playbook for that. You'll end up in Guantanamo.

Agree on ADSB, but couldnt you spoof this using paint or 1:1 scale cardboard aircraft?

I mean, commercial services do filter out mil adsb, but they are out there and available. So the use case is tracking movements of military aircraft?

TFA doesn't really explain how is this better/cheaper than existing ADSB based technologies, or where one is more appropriate than the other (ie which use cases it's targeting)?

Democrat what? There's no power anywhere outside of the Trump circle.

To what end? How is this newsworthy any more? It has the President's blessing - that's all you need now. If literally storming your government building, threating your representatives and injuring police officers isn't punish

The driver for this is clear, surely? It's that we're now unsure where the USA stands viz-a-viz Russia.

It doesn't, but afaik the reason they introduced the pricing model was that they fell foul of EU data laws. They also issued some PR this morning suggesting this was something they were looking at for the UK, so perhaps it's indic

That I use regularly to actually drive from no-too-far from LHR to Paris and back. It's a thing I actually do. And I can tell you, it might be theoretically in Google Maps land to do the journey in 6 hours, but IRL in this scenario it

I was replying to "It is a six hour drive from Heathrow to Paris." I live close enough to LHR to notice the replacement of Boeing/Airbus with Cessna/Pipers from local airfields in the sky today. I also regularly drive to

Fair enough if you categorically reject it. That's good enough for me.

by 4ndrewl 2y ago
In theory yes, but we were specifically talking about driving. And whilst 6 hours CDG to LHR is possible in theory (and I've done it a number of times), it does depend on a whole load of other factors that are not present compared to h

Having thought about it you're correct. Even if you over inflate your tyres it won't provide enough buoyancy even for the smallest Euro-car. An alternative reading to it 'being idiotic' is that it was clearly an exaggera

Ye, I've been travelling on it since the first week it opened. But if you were redirected and had to fend for yourself you would need to book ahead on a tunnel or boat, hire a car to drive from France to Coquelles - find somewhere to d

Wonder if this is a nationality thing? In the UK I'd say ~30% of sales are done via phones/watches these days.

Not sure about these ads, but a Pi home prevents the ads appearing on the home screen alongside the channel listings.

Your cognitive abilities to do programming may cognitively decline, but that's not the aim here is it? The aim is to solve a problem for a user, not to write code? If we solve that using different tools maybe our cognitive abilities wi

I love the idea, but GenAI isn't really up to it. The images are awful - like a Hammer Horror/Netflix-does-history vibe, but it's strangely addictive!
