It’s a bizarre overreach. There are simpler, less invasive solutions than a GPS tracker. Maybe someone is getting rich off the scheme?

I’m expecting quite a few AirBNB landlords to exit when they hit their first milestone maintenance expense. HVAC, roof, special assessments, septic, well, there are some big ones.

HashiCorp’s problem is not competition. I started using Terraform Cloud three years ago for my small department. Prior, I had introduced Terraform Enterprise at a large company. I was initially excited at how much easier it was to get going

Yes, but pretty much in the same sad state as they were a few years ago. We're running a few in production and next time we touch it we're replacing them with Windows Server Core EC2 instances built from baked images. Note on Linu

If banks were security minded for their customers they would have enabled read only app passwords 15 years ago. Instead, they made it unsafe to use third party software with their online banking front ends to deter you from owning your data

I can’t begin to explain the misery of watching a loved one, close to you, fall into the trap of bullshit medicine. Someone who was otherwise bright and intelligent lost their ability to think critically because they were suffering too long

It still needs to play out but Matter is a multi-master architecture. It is not tied to a single controller. I tried my first switch this week and in one pass it was setup with Google Home and HomeKit. Home Assistant is my next test but I’v

Well of course. I assume it's to prove the concept safe to gain approval to fly without a person present. But here we are, no such approval, and they're expanding territory. Why? To be challenged by more diversity in delivery sit

Someone drives out and watches the drone land. If you order drinks, they bring them in the car.

There are food delivery drones near me. Two recent data points: 1) They’re expanding the delivery territory. 2) They’re still using pilots with line of sight to make the delivery. I think that’s odd. Maybe someone is moving the goalposts, o

In NC we have mandatory yearly safety inspections. To renew your registration you must pass inspection. It would be easy for them to use the odometer reading at the inspection to assess a road use tax. We do already pay a gas tax and a year

A similar workaround has been available in the 'about' licenses pages. Just follow a link to a license and then you have a browser. It's useful for getting a browser on car head units, Peloton bikes, etc.
