Maintainers of "small web" servers are not being forced to use TLS. If you want to put a plaintext HTTP server on port 80 on the Internet, you can totally do that today with no issues. Sure, modern browsers like Safari and Chrome

It could be a move to have parity with TikTok, where they claim it’s for safety reasons. I’ve been seeing advertisements for Instagram touting their child/teen protection features. Seems like they’re really trying to beat the allegatio

It’s not all about the government contract itself. By being labeled a supply chain risk, other companies cannot use Anthropic products if they want to work with the government. So it’s worth having that distinction by a judge, even if it ta

It’s essentially a middleware between Bing search API and a (custom?) Claude model.

I’ve been using the Kagi Assistant with various models. It’s more of a glorified search summarizer but it’s essentially free with my existing subscription.

I completely agree with this. I'm playing through Leaf Green, and I'm around 8 hours in with just a single badge. I don't think I'd get through it without the boost of nostalgia for the GBC/GBA games. The newest gam

In my experience many middle eastern companies tend to only operate out of the Middle East AZ’s. They’re not backhauling their data and customers to us-east-1. If the goal is to severely disrupt middle eastern rivals, then you don’t need to

I’ve read the article. Sounds like you don’t understand the difference between MQTT and Bluetooth.

It’s been like that for several years.

We have one internal IT team who leaves things on non-standard ports, like https 8443 with no redirects on the standard ports. Drives me mad.

And so what? Security is important, sure, but there’s nothing wrong with an experiment or side project with full disclosure upfront about its known limitations. People should be empowered to share and tinker, without feeling like they need

I instinctively closed it as a cookie popup, and then wondered where the article was.

That has nothing to do with the MQTT broker.

I took an IoT course in school, and one of the things they loved was using protocols like MQTT. I was more or less required to use it on my projects because “that’s how IoT communication works”. So to me, it feels more academic than efficie

Is it safe to get multiple chips? They’re about the size of a grain of rice, so it shouldn’t be too unwieldy to get chipped from a couple of different vendors at the same time. With a chip, GPS collar, maybe an AirTag, that’s about all you

Why do websites constantly insist on having small gray on white background text, stretching 160+ characters per line? Practically impossible to read on desktop. I wish people would think about default readability. Even Microsoft Edge’s read

An Easter egg, in the context of computing, is a hidden feature, joke, or message included by the developers. An example is the Konami code in video games. Back tap is a legitimate accessibility feature, documented and searchable in the set

I’m on a project at work replacing our R430s and R730s. They’ve been absolute tanks with very few hardware failures. That said, my company chooses to have OEM support for replacing failed components and keeping firmware/bios/idrac

Being able to read some iteration of potential source code doesn’t make it open source. Licensing, copyright, build chains, rights to modify and redistribute, etc are all factors.

The actual submission link isn’t using the gift link. And “reading” the submission doesn’t reveal the end of the URL with the gift access token.

ReactOS requires all contributors to affirm that legally they have not used or seen any leaked Windows source code. This is to avoid any hints of copyright violation. While AI may be capable of writing a new driver or fixing bugs, a develop

I use a locked down kiosk user account when I’m responsible for driving slideshows or videos for events. I restrict the permissions so that if someone were to access the laptop, they can’t make any meaningful changes or pull up something in

To put it bluntly, the author thinks that people who praise Thinkpads are dumb. They think we all believe that Lenovo/IBM listened to us lowly nerds and forged a one of a kind Thinkpad to satisfy our dream of a serviceable and durable

Laptops with touch screens started to become standard around that time. Simplifying the UI was targeting these devices. Ubuntu’s Unity was another DE that came out targeting touch. I’m not saying I liked GNOME 3, or agreed with their decisi

When I worked at an insurance company I heard this all the time, that we were “an IT company selling insurance”. They had 3k IT staff, more staff than any other department. We were also still operating T1s, lotus notes, windows xp in 2014.

The Apple Weather app has gotten better over time, though it’s still not a perfect replacement. Scrolling through the Dark Sky screenshots, I can recognize many of the same things now incorporated with Apple’s. And Apple does offer location

I have a set of Speed Queen appliances, and it was a relay that went bad that forced a board replacement in my washing machine, and not any of the digital components you're complaining about. Sometimes things fail. I think it's m
