I wonder if they will change their ad spend. It feels like half the podcasts and youtube channels I frequent are sponsored by them.

I do this as well. Unique emails for every account along with unique passwords, password manager. Works great so far.

I just found my "Court-Ordered Notice of Class Action" in my spam folder and found the above link while researching its authenticity.

IIRC, it is also precipitation hardened stainless, so a weld repair would anneal it, cutting the affected area's strength in half.

Sounds like a great candidate for cloud gaming. It looks like this would require the $20/mo GeForce Now tier. It's a shame that Stadia flopped.

I've been wanting to do this for a while. I'd definitely recommend BPA free paper if you don't use it already!

It looks like Adobe Raw added a dedicated moire reduction slider to their denoising features a few years back. I wonder how it operates.

Are there any denoising algorithms that remove Moiré patterns? It would be a welcome addition to the stock iPhone and Android cameras.

Yeah it's pretty cool that it runs off-line. I wonder how large the local database is? They did add a second togglable option that lets you chose an online search if the song not recognized.

Agreed. There is a B&B in my hometown that consists of converted passenger cars. Breakfast is even served in a diner car. There are locomotives in the area, but they are in parks for their historic value.

Google added this optional feature to pixel lock screens a few years back. You can 'heart' songs and it adds them you your playlist. It looks like my phone ID's about 300 songs a month! https://support.google.com

I love it, esp. the double entendre. "Don't Upload My Bits!"

I was trying to backronym it, but I got stuck on "Doesn't Upload My (synonym for data)"

How do iPhones handle partial vacuums? I've used a vac chamber to speed up helium off-gassing from poisoned rubber gaskets in the past.

Very cool, thanks. It looks like they can be used for WIFI as well, which would make these perfect for business mesh networks.

I had a USPS mailman with a walking route that used a handsfree headset to work a 2nd job. Not sure what he was selling, but I overheard him close a deal while he had me sign for a package. It never seemed to affect his productivity, and
