This argument, like everything else, is meaningless unless we talk about scale . It's like saying, well, I don't mind if someone sits by the road with pen and paper writing down license plate numbers. But now, when the scenario i

Can't agree more. These AI systems have been built on the back of free labor for decades. We will look back on this and wonder how we essentially subsidized these behemoth corporations, then allowed them to extract subscription fees ba

You should have kept reading because she then reveals that she used the life event (of becoming pregnant) to enroll in an insurance plan. I agree, my wife totally intended on a minimal medical intervention based birth. Still went to the hos

I had a similar issue when I was trying to back up all my iCloud photos to S3 through the PhotoSync app[0]. I had about 600 photos that could not be downloaded from iCloud photos onto my iPhone. I ended up disabling iCloud Photos on the iPh

Total blast from the past. Xgrid[0] used BEEP for its inter-node communication protocol. I haven't thought about any of this for almost 20 years now... [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xgrid

I will start by saying I am not an embedded engineer. Given that I am but a consumer of about a dozen different IoT devices, I would love it if embedded wifi chipsets didn’t suck so much. I don’t care if it’s WiFi 4, just make them not suck

Ha. Not the parent but most likely it fell out of their pocket while on the roof - perhaps cleaning said gutters - and wasn’t noticed until later. I did something similar many years ago with a Motorola razr phone. I was digging trenches for

I argue Sony doesn’t care as this isn’t the first time they’ve shafted customers (see below), and it sure as heck won’t be the last. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sony_BMG_copy_protection_roo...

Absolutely works for homes. Problem is it’s more expensive and requires know how- it’s not just “plug in router with max power and 52 antennas”

That’s the preferred deployment strategy anyway (less power, more cells)

Regarding insuring young drivers: I bought a bmw using their excellent European delivery program in 2001. I was about 20yo at the time. As part of the delivery process, you are provided a zero deductible insurance policy to cover the car un

I left out that the airline tried to blame us by placing “pax no show” in our ticket record on the global reservation system. I had to call my travel agent to set the record straight in the system, after which I was able to get the airline

Not surprising. I took my family on a multi country trip between France, Egypt and Qatar in mid 2022. We splurged for q suites on Qatar airways and also a hotel stay via Discover Qatar. Fast forward to our aborted attempt at entering the co

Wow. I had used Postfix back in the day for our mail exchange gateways, but had no idea that it originated from IBM. Postfix was a great piece of software- did one thing, did it well, was easy to configure and manage, and was secure to boot
