Looks like you're right, this is breaking their TOS: >4) Since there are only limited numbers of connections available for streams, and because the site is funded through advertising and donations, you agree to consult LiveATC.net p

Too late, we already have cloud-connected indoor security cameras from Amazon. The NSA is investigating a recent protest that happened in your area, wonder if they'd be interested in taking a peek at your footage? But really, it'

I wish there were more stories about metro lines being completed "in record time" in the US. Or being completed at all. Can we still build anything besides more highways?

But keeping cats outside is sad, too, at least for all the birds and small mammals in the area. Cats kill for fun no matter how well-fed they are.

Well, yeah. Ukraine could use some more of them about now.

I wonder why Notepad is getting tabs now, in 2023, when Microsoft already has the phenomenally successful VS Code and there are so many good, established alternatives like Notepad++ or Sublime Text. Maybe it'll be nice for admins loggi

Yeah, I wonder if the growth is going to last. Another commenter mentioned feeling that questions have gotten easier and there are fewer prompts to write full sentences. Maybe Duolingo is finding the right balance of difficulty, or maybe th

The problem with this isn't the idea of a car repossessing itself per se, because repossession is already a legitimate thing; it's the idea that your car can be remotely controlled by anyone other than you. There are already so ma

It feels like the world is splitting in two... On one side is a world where anyone can download any book for free. On the other side is a world where all books, textbooks, and journals are available exclusively from Amazon/Pearson&#x2F

At my previous employer, a mid-size company that used a lot of Microsoft products, my team had a developer intern go the ENTIRE SUMMER without access to Azure DevOps (source code, CI/CD, etc...) because he got some weird error when he

I bought an M1 as my first Mac. It's absolutely amazing—fast, looks great, feels great, runs cool and silent— but I still resent Apple's control over it and I think I want my next laptop to be System76 or similar. (Or maybe it&#x2

I booted Windows the other day and was greeted with an unskippable screen advertising a bunch of stuff I don't need like an Office 365 subscription, OneDrive, connecting my phone, switching my default browser to Edge... The only way to

Try to treat YouTube, GitHub, and any other service the way you would a failing hard drive. If it's not backed up, it doesn't exist.

TIL the mosquito is the longest-lived insect. Amazing that someone discovered this little guy still buzzing around in a barn in Normandy 80-odd years later.

I quit health insurance. I always thought it was a "must-have", and a lot of my friends and family still tell me that, but I just can't support the system as it is today. Haven't found an alternative yet, as the US healt

Well, yeah, isn't that just enforcing the codes? If you didn't have to go back and fix it, you could build as many sloppy houses as you want and the codes would be meaningless.

Thanks, looks great! I searched it and the link is grey, so I must have run across it before, but I needed the reminder!

One takeaway: a cloud account isn't a sufficient backup on its own. If you have to log into Apple/Google to download your files and photos, then they're at risk. Make regular backups to an external hard drive or something, an

It's probably worse than that. How would you guard against the threat of someone forcing you to unlock your phone at gunpoint? Call their bluff and just throw the phone in the gutter and run away? Stall for time like you forgot the pas

Fellow YouTube/Internet addict here. I'm trying a few things: - Disable the YouTube app on my Android. - Use Newpipe from F-Droid instead when I really need to watch a tutorial or something (very rare). I find it a little less add

So Tailscale is cool, but I stopped using it at home because I didn't like relying on a service that I couldn't self-host and required me to log in with Github. I haven't replaced it yet, but am looking at Zerotier which seem

Yep, "unlimited vacation" sounds nice the first time you hear it. Until you realize that it doesn't mean you can take 8 weeks/yr of vacation, it just means that how much vacation you get is no longer clearly defined and

I never see the ads with uBlock Origin on Firefox. It's even available on the Firefox Android app, but on mobile I find Newpipe from F-Droid is a better experience. I haven't tried SponsorBlock, but I've heard it uses crowdso

Victims often aren't wiring money to a stranger, they're depositing funds in their own investment account at an institution, merely based on advice from a stranger. Or so they think.

Hmm. I'm currently using Raindrop and haven't ever been logged out. It's been pretty solid for the past year or so I've used it on (Android app and Firefox extension on MacOS).

Lift weights. Just don't overdo it and injure yourself. Don't sit or stand for long periods; get up, get a drink, give your eyes a rest too. As you age, strong legs will keep you walking longer. Run and jump; loading your bones wi
