It changes regularly, and by significant amounts. Magnetic north can drift 45km to 55km per year, and in the article it was talking about a major airport in Canada, the Calgary airport, where even slightly out of date maps were off by as mu

Same, most of my friends aren't on Mastodon, many of the content creators I'm interested in aren't either. And trying to explain Mastodon to random non-technical people is frustrating, they don't want to think about the

For Shatner it seemed like he had a profound life-enhancing experience. For everyone else it looked like they were celebrating after some sort of extreme sport, or a roller coaster. It's hard to judge just by outward appearances, and t

The biggest problem I've faced with their app suite is it seems to make my disks spin 24/7, constantly seeking even if there is zero external activity. It wouldn't be such a big problem if I didn't live in a small apartm

Vehicles made a massive leap forward with the introduction of electronic components - fuel injection, oxygen sensors, throttle control. Not to mention essential safety components like traction control computers and anti-lock braking. There&

Or, just a thought, design an identifier where compromising one system doesn't immediately compromise all the individual data contained within it. SSN breaches only really hurt because its exposure means instant compromise of identity,

The _initial_ implementation of client-side scanning has the same initial result, but vastly different futures. Up until now it could be (foolishly or otherwise) assumed that Apple had your personal privacy in mind. Now they have demonstrat

Plausible deniability or not, it could have real impact if Apple decides to implement the policy of locking your account after tripping the threshold, which you then have to wait or fight to get unlocked. Or now you have police records agai

I think the point is people do understand - and are still upset.

Why move it on-device then? They've made no announcement or attempt to encrypt iCloud backups, so they are free to keep scanning on their servers. Moving it on-device has zero value-add for iPhone users, it only serves as a Trojan Hors

I'm not sure it's that straightforward, if it's their name on the case and they was totally absent, that would be a huge liability for them and the hospital. Newbies need to learn, there's only so many cadavers you can c

CIRA isn't government owned or backed, it's a member-directed not-for-profit organization. The government doesn't have anything beyond a non-voting board seat.

But they are selling both under their store-brand ReliOn. The less effective original formulation for $25, and the analog is the more effective one being sold at $86. Still an absurdly high cost in my opinion, but to get the higher quality

I mean, I legitimately wouldn't be surprised if they took political prisoners if Fastmail showed up to court to fight, or hammer out an agreement. Let alone what they would end up having to submit to while operating within the country.

I don't think it's up to Fastmail to fix the nonsense coming out of the Kremlin. The Russian government wants them to basically compromise their service to comply with their spying needs, Fastmail simply opted out. I think they ch

They're already launching humans on reused rockets, as of the Crew-2 Mission that launched a couple of weeks ago.

I actually avoid the used video card market now, the resale price is insanely high and odds are the card was driven as hard as possible for months at a time mining crypto before being swapped out for the latest and greatest.

Amazing! This guide got me into network programming back when I was still on rural dial-up. It helped me through various programming courses in high school and university, and I still occasionally refer to it from time to time. Thanks for y

I ended up buying a couple stocks late in the game, fully expecting to lose the money. First, it's not my retirement or long-term cash, more of a hobby. And that hobby quickly turned into sending a message after watching those rich SOB

Are you me? We had an (admittedly more complex) monolith application for customer contracts and billing. It wasn't ideal, and was getting long in the tooth (think Perl Catalyst and jQuery), so the powers that be wanted to build a new s

It wasn't overnight for me, habits take time to change. Not to mention unravelling my entire life. I think I started de-Googling my life in 2018. Moved away from Google Domains, moved to a custom-domain email address at Fastmail, movin

I think this is a situation where having loss of smell is a strong indicator of having COVID, but not having loss of smell doesn't imply testing negative.

I doubt they make much YouTube revenue, they also have 14,856 patrons on Patreon. Probably the only reason that it's worthwhile for them to continue to make such high quality animated videos.

That's a fairly old statistic to pick, not sure if it was intentional or not, but the reality is lithium battery production has grown significantly since 2016 and shows no signs of stopping. The largest manufacturer in China, CATL is e

That would be a welcome improvement in my workspace. A glass cube would grant me a little extra space, a bit more peace and quiet, and protect me from all of my neighbours breathing on me constantly.

Worst thing is that new commercial plates do have "Open for Business" on them. Fun fact, a lot of those black license plates on pickup trucks are commercial-style plates, meaning all the redneck truck-driving coal-rolling Conserva

Yeah that sounds a lot like American propaganda about the Canadian healthcare system. All of my family has had their surgeries done in Canada, and while there is a needs-based component the wait times aren't ridiculous. Publicly funded

Similarly until last year I never knew that people actually could visualize things when they closed their eyes. I thought it was more of a metaphor. But alas when I close my eyes it's darkness. Thankfully I have my internal monologue t
