Good question, I was wondering this too. From Wikipedia, I found: > .cc is the Internet country code top-level domain (ccTLD) for the Cocos (Keeling) Islands, an Australian territory. It is administered by a United States company, VeriS

Surely you’ve heard of OAuth. But if that’s rhetorical/curt, then the answer can also be found on the home page of the site: it’s a service with a paid component and the login is to associate the purchase with your account. Very common

I have a server running over 50 various docker containers, and only 2 virtual machines. One of those VMs is Home Assistant. I tried the container originally, but the full OS is just a better experience. It handles all the supervisor stuff a

The point is that “it’s open source” is a really bad selling point when you’re talking about a messaging tool meant to be used by everyone. Good luck trying to convince the general population that “the UX is bad but theoretically anyone c

Most cars don’t have OTA. If there’s a bug that causes death, they issue a recall and firmware is updated through the OBD. Sure, it’s an expensive process, but maybe it would persuade Tesla to invest more into their quality control.

Going out on a limb here, but I’m assuming it’s meant to be “why [exogenous] melatonin is bad for you”. Melatonin is naturally secreted by the pineal gland, which like other hormones gets downregulated when taken exogenously over long per

In 2015, I would have been all over that. But with every media company wanting their piece of my wallet, I have a hard time justifying paying for Netflix on its own. Part of the appeal of sharing your account is that it brings the effective

I don’t think it’s illegal to redirect anyone anywhere. Either way, 301s don’t modify the referrer so they wouldn’t be able to tell.

Congratulations! By “DDoS” you probably mean the “Hacker News effect” from hitting #1 on the front page. And for that, congratulations!

It’s not in Meta’s best interest to obsolete the Quest 2. VR is already a tough sell, and like other “consoles”, significant revenue comes from selling apps. If they tell the regular users (who spend $50 per game) that they can’t purchase n

The xx90 isn’t made for gaming. Before the 30 series, everyone knew RTX Titan was not a gaming card, but rather for compute/professional work. Nvidia rebranded their Titan cards as 3090/4090 and people lap that up for some reason.

While $1 is certainly far less than the value this app provides, it’s going to be a hard sell when there are several free apps which do the same thing.

Many smart plugs have some sort of energy monitor built in. I imagine you could turn off the plug when the power dropped below, eg, 5W.

It’s pretty easy. You have three basic streams: 1. Stdin - just iterate through sys.stdin 2. Stdout - regular printing will go there 3. Stderr - print errors here eg with print(…, file=sys.stderr) And then beyond that as long as your script

Modes doesn’t mean Vi-like; just that you can have multiple commands on the same bindings. The power of Vi is in the grammar. It’s fairly intuitive to combine motions with verbs, and you can string together chains of commands without much t
