Newer Chromecasts ship with a remote and do not require a phone. Multiple people can be logged in too.

I had my first good tomato last year. It was a supermarket tomato, but it was a very expensive heirloom variety. Purple in color, with a wild shape a bit like those in TFA. Definitely the best tomato I ever had, and it kinda ruined other to

Thanks, looks like this can do the trick. The constant UX changes for no reason other than some PM wanting to get a promotion are starting to get on my nerves.

Have you used something to migrate your liked albums/songs and playlists to Apple Music? It's definitely one of the reasons that keep me on Spotify - starting from scratch is not a very interesting prospect...

Quebec still has a lower minimum wage for servers: $12.60 instead of $15.75. https://www.cnesst.gouv.qc.ca/en/working-conditions/wage-and... https://www.cnesst.gouv.qc.ca/en/working-conditions

That's a pretty standard clause I've seen in every software ToS I ever gazed my eyes upon. As far as I know, those applications weren't affected either - airports were affected because the ticketing systems were offline. Comp

My understanding of their tech is that it's very similar to Itanium's VLIW architecture. We all know how that ended up... making compilers more complex turned out to be far from ideal.

I haven't read through the paper but it seems that it comes to the same conclusion as this prior paper: https://bhi.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/BHI-Antikythera...

I was imagining them trying to spoof an amazon.com domain using an evil dns server or something of that nature. That would be much harder to detect, but the cert is an issue. I guess it's overcomplicating things, though. Most people wi

Well you can't have a real amazon.com cert ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. If you use a random domain sure it works, but it's also fishy. I guess most people won't notice...

They may be self-signed but if he rolls out his own self-signed certificate the browser will also put a big warning to not go forward.

A phone contract is on one's credit report. If they don't pay, the phone company will try to recover the debt like any other debt (via nagging, and then selling the debt to a collection agency). It's not fundamentally differe

Yes. In Canada, the phones are not locked, but if you terminate your contract before the term (max 2 years) you have to pay the remaining cost.

I've never seen these mag tickets, the ticket machines all give out Occasionnelle cards even for 1 ticket. Maybe if you walk up to the clerk?

by lbourdages 2y ago
These single use tickets are used essentially only by tourists and those who use public transport only on occasion. The vast majority of users will use rechargeable Opus cards [1] that can contain a variety of different fare types (single t

Reading the article, I was under the impression that this was to be used for stuff like submarines, or vehicles in the arctic... stuff where finding one's position might be tricky. This is absolutely overkill for a train where you can

So it doesn't solve the issue inherent will all inertial navigation approaches (error accumulates very quickly because of the double integration), it just has less error? Seems like an incremental improvement at best.

Changing my input and output audio devices in the sound dropdown is almost impossible at work. There are dozens of Apple TVs that appear one after the other while you're scrolling or clicking. I can't disable Apple TV support on m

Even if I stay perfectly still for an entire day I'm still going to become greasy and smelly. Washing is not optional for me. Good for those who can skip it, but as a member of society, I prefer to stay clean.

My tinnitus is worse when I am congested (because I guess there is more pressure in the internal ear or something). Yawning can help relieving the pressure.

Parents can ask their own parents for guidance. In the proposed scenario, the grandparents would have no one to ask because the previous generation is most likely dead already.

What does TVF mean? I have been able to find anything on Google, all I get is an Indian streaming service... "Truth value function"?

I can't wait to see benchmarks on these chips. Lots of people are saying that Apple chips are good only because they have the node advantage. Let's see what they can do within the same power envelope now.

We're used to drawings, 3D renders, etc. There's no such thing as "artificial music" - at the very least, not since electronic music has become mainstream.

This is right into the "uncanny valley" of music. It definitely sounded "like music", but none of it is what a human would produce. There's just something off.
