   Thanks for this! I’ve been using rtl_433 for years and had no idea about this walkthrough :)

   Reminds me of some of the ham radio digital modes. Here’s a fun link of examples: https://www.sigidwiki.com/wiki/Category:Amateur_Radio

   Clipper was the first programming language I learned as a kid outside of bat files. My dad worked with it at work, so we had a copy at home that I played with. Loved making those textual UIs using the double border boxes.

   I love my Mazda CX-5. The navigation wheel works wonderfully, even with Apple CarPlay. I definitely miss it when I drive my wife’s Hyundai Tucson.

   Do you have any good examples of sites that don’t work on Firefox? I hear this a lot, but I don’t seem to experience it. I exclusively use Firefox on the desktop, while I use Safari on mobile.

   I should do this during the workday. I bet I could pick out when I receive certain emails from a heart rate graph.

   I remember this being one of the fun levels in the Stripe Capture-the-Flag contest they ran a few years back. Still got my t-shirt :)

    There are also devices on eBay which record to a usb device and handle HDCP. Works great for archiving content from streaming services using a Roku. Not quite as cheap as this though, I think I paid $40 from a US seller.

    An off-topic but somewhat related question. What is a good way to whitelist which applications can access the network on my desktop linux system? (Currently running Arch, but I distro-hop quite often). Years ago when I had a MacBook, I used

    Qt Creator or if my battery is real low, a text editor like Gedit (yes, I’m probably saving more there just by not having features like code completion and syntax checking).

    I love vs code, and its plugin system, but if I’m on my laptop without a charger, I use something else. When I’m running vs code, my battery life is cut nearly in half.

    I work primarily with grocery retailers, and this is quite accurate. Almost all of them have told us that they will not use any of our services if they are hosted in AWS. They used to be hesitant, but willing, but once Amazon acquired Whole

    Software Engineer at a large software company (Fortune 500), 7.5% pay cut, but happy to still be employed. I am billable to our customers, and have a decent backlog of work, so I am hopeful.

    I recently came across this project when looking for a simple web interface for a Raspberry Pi (running Ubuntu). I see that it was discussed here before [1], but thought it was worthy of another share. [1] https://news.ycombinat

    Great read! I agree, 7-zip is amazing. You can open all kinds of files for exploration using it.

    OT: Just FYI, it took a good 5-6 seconds after page load before the text appeared on the page. It looks like the 5MB gif is delaying the load of the fonts.

    A tip for anyone reading here — SiriusXM will gladly give you a year of service for $60+fees (about $74 last time for me). You don’t even need to threaten to cancel. Every year I call, tell them it is too expensive, but I’d stay if they giv

    The FedEx Ground trucks around here are also franchises, but I'm sure FedEx strictly enforces driver training, etc., since their name is on the side of the truck.

    I ended up cancelling my pre-order from Element 14, you could potentially do the same depending on who you ordered from. I didn't cancel because of this, but just because I got really busy with work and I know it'll be a few mont

    Or you just buy the official cable, which seems to be competitively priced. It's not ideal, but also not that big of a deal now that it is known. (Yes, it would be incredibly frustrating if you encountered this and was not aware)

    Makes me wonder if this could cause those sites to run afoul of the ADA? (I'm admittedly not very familiar with the requirements, but thought it was interesting to consider).

    Turn it off and it'll just use the mobile networks instead. Turn that off, and now you won't get phone calls or text messages. I guess you could go and turn off mobile data for apps too, but its not like they won't just upl
