I thought it was moderately well known. A couple of decades ago a friend would take some red candy when hiking as it could give her (at least the feeling of) a significant short-term energy boost if needed, more than just regular sugar woul

Yeah, I also sit in this grey area. I think the maximum is 10 per domain or so, and last I checked, I'd had 11 or 12 leaked, so I can no longer see them. It's unfortunate though I don't know an easy solution that allows both

Fwiw, you can set (on Android at least) the language of Google Maps independently of the rest of the system. I also have my phone set to English, but maps set to Dutch because otherwise the reading out of street names can be incomprehensibl

That's interesting to me. From my perspective, I didn't find Duolingo great, but it did give me some vocab and basic sentences, and left me feeling more competent than I actually ended up being once I was living where they speak t

In NL AH for me it seems to come in waves. For a while I'll be checked every other time, and then not at all for some time. This could just be me seeing patterns where they aren't though, perhaps I should track it for curiosity.

Interesting, where I lived (NZ), "coke" was the typical term for Coca-Cola (not generic soda, but you may be asked if Pepsi is OK), however in NL where I live now it's pretty universally "cola", and I think that&#x2

It depends what you're trying to defend against. The rotation hinders associating an address with a particular device. If someone looks at the network prefix to see if people are in the same household, then that's exactly the same

They did, at the last moment they released a version of the app that could be repointed to alternative servers, in this case the rebble.io ones. Without them doing that, it'd be a lot less useful.

There have been community-run services going since Pebble shut down. My pebble behaves as though nothing changed to this day, except the lack of new features being released.

It's a pity that you didn't have a tab at the bar I bumped into you in in Amsterdam last year, while wearing my PTS, then ;) I remember you mentioning that there was hope of the firmware being open sourced. Very glad to see that i

You can do this already if you have a Pebble, someone made an app for it.

For at least months in my city, the screens in buses have been showing a "broken image" icon as part of their ad cycle. I'd much rather know about the next stop.

In addition, I've started writing failing (or empty, in the framework I'm using empty fails) tests as a todo for the next time I pick it up, so by generally keeping the tests passing I know what I was intending my next step to be

Nothing* does mass storage these days, because you a) don't want to run your filesystem as FAT32, b) have two devices mounting one disk at the same time. But anyway, you don't have to hack anything, they literally give you all the

Do you mean hack the box in "go to this page in the settings where it tells you the root password", or something else?

the reMarkable lets you upload PDFs and then you can write on them, so perhaps it can do what you need. I was using mine a little while ago for a PDF-based RPG-type thing which involves a lot of writing on the PDF and it worked quite well (

Yes, I had a similar experience in high school. I ended up modifying a virus that infected a bunch of computers and causing problems, so I got kicked out the lab until the next year (but this was late September, so no biggie.) The next year

It's a wee bit different. It wasn't my time, so someone correct me if my details are wrong, but this is using the rows of switches on the front panel of, say, an early IBM machine to actually put in the bootloader code in binary.

Verizon is prone to overstepping with Pixels. I couldn't tether my phone with my carrier (from a country that doesn't have Verizon anywhere near it) because they happened to use the same SIM ID (or something, I'm not sure of

I thought the same, but it turns out I have quite a number of friends (especially younger, who are sharing apartments with flatmates etc.) who don't have a TV or tablet, and who will just sit on their bed or couch with a laptop for net

In more recent times (2008ish perhaps, would likely have been early Ubuntu anyway) there was some sort of audio forwarding, I don't know how it worked though. I remember one time sitting on my couch with my laptop but wanting music to
