A man after my own heart. My first job (at 15) was working in a tv repair shop, so fixing things has a long history with me. Repairclinic and their videos are great. Thanks to them, our washer and dryer are 25 years old and still run great.

Going far afield now, but a skimmer isn't going to get my pin, right? This was a card-present, atm cash withdrawal that happened. So POS systems store pins? I can't imagine them being certified if they do, or for what reason they

Or a lambda that didn't initialize, say, the customer ID and got it from the last run because of some edge-case in calling it. Ask me how I know this, um, exact case.

So, OT, but I wonder if this explains my recent atm withdrawal error on the part of wells fargo? A $300 atm, card-present withdrawal several hundred miles away (at a golf course country club) from where I had used the card less than an hour

Robtex.com and some similar animals have some historic mappings, though of course not comprehensive.

Okay, to answer my own question: https://musicbrainz.org/ws/2/discid/I5l9cCSFccLKFEKS.7wqSZAo... will give you a list of "releases" for that discid. Use the release ID in this endpoint, with the in

Ug, I'm late to this discussion, but I can't find anything in the Musicbrainz.org documentation that provides the same access / results as FreeDB. In other words, from a "discid" (in Musicbrainz format or FreeDB for

It seems like solving the Sybil problem (a prerequisite to this scheme having any use whatsoever) might be something better on which to focus attention first, as it has other useful applications, even in one-person, one-vote democracies.

Really? I was unaware of this change, haven't sold a car in a while (but have sold several on CL in the past). I guess the spam level got too intense, which I can definitely vouch for. Lots of not-believable deals that were basically p

To be electrocuted has always meant death, until relatively recently. Because Englishe talking is good not, it now can mean what formerly meant "shocked". I still prefer the specificity of death for electrocuted. Keith Relf was el

One need only read the words "private blockchain" on the referenced page to interpret this as "not a consensus blockchain". I agree it's misleading; people need to understand that the words "private blockchain&

They just have a long list of likely host / service names. It misses things all the time for me, but gets an awful lot correct.

Aren't the parental controls voluntary censorship? That is requested by the user? True by definition, but not by intent.

Except, as noted above, real estate leases usually don't get renegotiated. I don't know if it's because of the long time frames or exactly why, but landlords frequently would rather leave a building empty than not get their r

I conflate the two because I was temporarily nuts. Doh! Of course ultrasound exists, and can exist in air up to the GHz range (not for very far). Anyway, sorry for misinfo and thanks for the correction.

60kHz isn't really an audio source, at that frequency it would (or used to be, anyway) be classified as an RF source. Marconi operated in frequencies even lower, 14-30kHz, at many thousands of watts from Alexanderson alternators[0].

That's power, not necessarily loudness. Loudness has to do with perception, which also has a lot to do with content. For most people (a fairly wide margin here) music sounds about twice as loud when it's +10dB.

CloudFlare runs a (free!) reverse proxy that obfuscates the identity (e.g., IP address) of servers that sometimes host copyright-infringing material. As a copyright holder, your only choice is to request a DMCA takedown to CloudFlare. Ther

Pretty much likewise. Actually, I do away with the tabstop=4 these days too -- I've grown to like 8-width tabs. When I started using vi on a Sun machine in ~1986 or so, I was an expert at 'edlin' (if there could be such a th

Same tangential relation: Ivanpah is amazing. Note that the tribute mirrors are just 1/3 of the total installation. Had a partial tour of it a few years ago, before they accidentally focused the mirrors below the steam boxes and dest

Similar experience here. Not to mention the seemingly-continuous/mysterious "update bandwidth". When I boot up a Windows machine at my vacation condo with a 2Mbps DSL line (okay, yeah, but it's all I can get), it sucks
