I have a Pixel Watch 2, it seems that only certain carriers (typically not MVNOs) can set it up with an eSIM that will present as having the same number, but any MVNO that provides eSIM setup via QR code should work to provision via the c

Restricting users to "approved" devices seems to be a US thing? I'm fairly sure that anything that's capable of connecting with the right frequencies and protocols can connect to any UK network.

That may well not be scalping per-se, if scalping is the bulk purchase and resale. I find it a lot harder to criticise folk who might well have used the controller themselves, at retail price, but upon discovering they've effective

One might imagine a world, which would have to be populated by non-humans, in which we do price discovery for every transaction. Scalpers wouldn't exist: each batch of goods would be sold via Dutch auction. I do wonder whether such a

That appears to be the default, CEF is available if required (hint: it shouldn't be).

The people requiring adherence to a specific standard are not the people who then need to pay to see what they're supposed to be adhering to :(. Strictly, just because the standard costs money doesn't mean that the information wit

I'll second the recommendation for `mise`, and add: I typically use Homebrew for things I want everywhere, and if I want something everywhere then the latest version is _probably_ OK. I typically use mise en place for versions which a

Fair -- but I was more meaning that when I browse an arbitrary untrusted website I almost always allow the site owner to run arbitrary untrusted code on my machine. They might not send me any JS, but if they do then my browser will happily

Running arbitrary untrusted code safely is pretty easy nowadays, so long as the code is written in Javascript and you want to run it in a browser. It's only a little harder if the code is written in another language but targets WASM a

That's still nondeterminism as an implementation choice, rather than as a fundamental limitation of the technology.

The Unifi range is quite definitely optional cloud. Don't turn it on (and don't use a cloud-based controller!), and it won't have any mechanism for control. You can even use the mobile apps over direct connection, with loc

This does depend somewhat on your risk profile. For many folk it's pretty decent: you need to guard against online attacks, so keeping your passwords offline gives them excellent security. If you need to protect yourself against fami

One of types of services Cloudflare provides goes by the name "Warp". Calling it a VPN is only wrong in ways that don't really matter — it has the effect of causing client traffic to appear to originate from a different IP a

The problem with asking an LLM for "its reasoning" after the fact, is that any justification it might give is a post-hoc rationalisation rather than a pre-meditated reason.

You probably don't want to be setting up Maps on either a touch screen or a with keys while driving. But navigation and media selection are the two functions I'm generally happy to interact with via voice.

I have a pre-facelift MB A-class, and I think it's the best car I've driven for controls. You don't have to touch the screen ever if you don't want to: there's a trackpad on the centre console that just works e

I've used[0] `.local` to achieve something like this, by advertising service endpoints over mDNS. Exposing random services to your local network is exactly what mDNS is for, I always thought it was a shame more dev tooling didn't

That list contains issues with the APIs that Chrome exposes via MV3. Firefox still supports APIs that Chrome removed.

It's the author's problem with the UK (and the UK's Online Safety Act, which establishes requirements on hosts that can't be avoided by merely not being in the UK), rather than the UK's problem with the author. But

There would have been a power imbalance at the point of signing. I can well imagine that the implications of that particular clause weren't apparent at the time. As a society (more so here in the UK than in the US, I'll grant) we

Given the Epic settlement means Google is allowing alternate app stores, and also the delay only applies for unregistered developers, I'm not certain it won't actually get easier to get folk set up on F-Droid. It still remains to

SumUp won't let you use your phone to accept contactless payments while developer mode is enabled. You can still use an external card reader though.

One big difference between the UK's historic constitutionalia and the US is that the UK generally recognises that we only do things a certain way because agreeing how to change them is too hard, while the US appears to think that the

The author framed his issue as a choice between separate VMs (with high cost) per user or decoding the messages. As he, you, and I all say: what he's got does work. I'm absolutely not saying that now he's solved the problem

I'm glad the payload was usable and the author has fixed their problem, it's an interesting challenge. However, there are other approaches. A public IP per client isn't going to be nearly as expensive as a VM per client, and

Edinburgh doesn't enforce its 20mph zones, I follow them anyway. And I don't believe I actually make progress through the city any less quickly than drivers who speed, because it's rare that I'm not in any case sitting
