I’ve used MuckRock to request records on ALPR systems for years. I gave up several years ago because SC agencies had started rejecting them all under an exemption for law enforcement / public safety. There’s no appeal process in SC, so

I admit that I still subconsciously treat com/net/org as somehow more legitimate, though there's no logical reason. I do like that there are more options now, but some of the gTLDs are quite ridiculous. And I really don'

Anyone know of something similar for Windows?

I use Obsidian, but don't have much invested in any plugins or themes, so maybe I'm just not informed enough on the backstory here. While I can't disagree with anything said, it's also not really unique, is it? This is t

I was wondering the same thing, so thanks for the explanation. Disappointing that the article didn’t bother to explain it. From Section 166 it looks like the state can also convert an HOV lane to an HOT lane and set the toll amount. The con

> What is "hardware" anyway? Does a microcontroller-based integrator or debouncer count? Hmm, good question. In this context, I guess "continues to work after the EMP"?

I don't own a Tesla, but I've been a passenger in well north of 100 different ones over the years (Uber/Bolt/etc.) and had no idea there even was a mechanical release. In the event of an emergency I would... not fare wel

My main one is for ADSB using adsb-lol. I also have the Pimoroni Enviro+ in my living room. I've got their Grow kit somewhere as well, but... no plants since I moved. I used to have a Kubernetes cluster running on some Pi3's, but

Can I ask for a few more details on your GPS NTP setup? That thought popped into my head the other day but I can't think of a real reason to do it, it'd really just be a cool way to waste some time.

I was thinking the same thing. I know I’m cynical, but I’m sure there’s some blanket rejection reason like “suspected fraud” that is used shockingly frequently. You can’t argue with it because fraud is a real thing, but somehow you just kno

Slack vs. Teams is one of those great examples of designing a product from the ground up to do exactly what it's supposed to do well vs. seeing a business opportunity and throwing a bunch of crap together to meet it.

My subscription is actually for "Microsoft 365 blah blah blah (without Teams)" and costs some small amount less, so I had just assumed they already had?

I was surprised when I moved to Europe that at least several (many?) EU countries don’t even authorize any ADHD drugs to be prescribed. So sure, maybe the doctor knows you have it, but even if they say you have it… so what, what can they do

The UI is also just… awful. It gets so confused about what is read and what isn’t. Muting a channel doesn’t really work the way you would expect. Scrolling through messages suddenly just stops and waits 30 seconds to load the next “page”. E

I was actually wondering why the whole thing needed the complexity of being underwater and felt like I was just an idiot, so thanks. From the article it sounds like the only reason to deal with the hassle of the water is so you can put thes

> Civil rights watchdog Well not quite. They keep getting money every year, but officially their mandate expired in the 90’s and has never been renewed. As crazy as that is by itself, they certainly don’t have the authority to do anythin

This is the same argument behind paying for a streaming service. Could I "find" everything I want to watch somewhere else and maintain it myself on a Plex server? Sure, but the cost-benefit analysis just doesn't make sense to

I understand that, I’m just saying that they claim it gets security updates, so it seems like the kind of thing they should include.

The iPhone 6S mentioned was released in 2015, but should run iOS 15, which Apple still should be releasing security updates for?

All the libraries I’m a user of (and there are a half dozen or so) have licensed all the content through Overdrive (Libby). I don’t know how Overdrive licenses it from publishers.

>Who goes to the library before noon? I know several older people who use it as an opportunity to get out of the house. They get their coffee and head to the library to read the newspapers.

I haven't spent a ton of time in either lately, but I do lean heavily towards Terraform simply because it's vendor agnostic. I'm probably never going to end up switching completely between providers, but I like having the abi
