Ha! Thanks, interesting read, and amazing memory :). Reminds me of being a kid when we got a de-scrambler by my uncle, who worked as an engineer at Ericsson. It consisted of two large metallic cylinders (coffee containers really) in series,

Maybe the proxy removes metadata such as useragent, but often the pic urls contain uniquely identifiable information, eg a number that is unique to that email that received the email. That way you still leak that it is opened, how often, et

Well, it is better, since I assume that you don't click "yes, allow". If you would, you would likely have a cookie saying "he/she is ours" with a lifetime longer than the heatdeath of the universe. If you dar

On the other hand, I'd prefer they fix this process for everyone and not just those with X twitter followers. I'm completely uninterested in making waves on social media, but I still expect services (whether paid or free) to work

Also reacted on that. "What's better than 3D? 4D!" :) Reminds me of the alleged story about Xbox naming schemes. IIRC, Xbox was introduced when Playstation 2 was in stores. Then came the Playstation 3, but you can't sell

I assume lots of it comes down to storytelling and marketing, to be honest. "No-one makes steel good enough for us!" (there most likely is, and cheaper, and likely better) I hope I don't sound dismissive, nor do I not want to

What's interesting to me, is that those that shape the platform guidelines (Google/Android, MS/Win, don't have apple so can't say) often are the worst offenders to completely disregard them. Just as an example, I&#x

Thanks for your comment, I really pointing out "learn why". I try to explain to my 7-yo the _reason why_ for many things, whenever I can. Key is to not push it when she loses interest. If it's important, just end up talking a

You can, * build one out of balsa wood or thermoplastics (available at hobby stores) * ask a friend with a 3d printer * visit a makerspace that might have one * have a commercial 3d-printer shop print one for you Probably more options avail

I love when things like this gets visible (even if I may not love why, or the result from it). Eg how a very large percentage of the worlds christmas decorations are made in one Chinese city, or large % of harddrives in Thailand, or quartz

Even if I agree "physical" is better suited for what's asked for, "social" is now the de facto recognized and used term and people seem to understand it to mean "physical" in practice. At least those that

I wonder if that's some kind of cheeky remark internal between the SoS and the assistant, or if there was actually a real thought to do this. Ofc, cheap price, but seriously? Did they believe Gorbachev (spelling) was that vain? Was he?

I totally recommend various "How it's made" shows, available on youtube. Eg, sprinkles, jelly beans, and of course other industrial processes. youcar channel has some of those for car industry. Mesmerizing for both large and

Hostnames depending on multicast DNS doesn't always traverse over network interfaces, eg ethernet<->wifi, so it may be easier with static IP-addresses, or that the router is smart enough to at least re-assign the same IP the next

I have a couple of Yeelights, ie their RGBW-led light in common E27 socket. Very nice, you can "unlock" developer mode so you can control it over the local network. Super nice. Scripted up a simple thing running on a Raspberry pi

Makes me think of Terminator 2, when JC teaches T to flip the sunshade for keys instead of mashing the ignition key hole. That in turn makes me think about that - was it common during those days to do that, store the keys there? Perhaps for

Since events like this famous case, where Walmart outed a teenage girl pregnancy, it's well-known they mix in some "weird" or irrelevant things to give a sense of plausible deniability. "oh, pregger testers, haha, how we
