Lightsail also does not offer any form of virtual serial console to access a VM where you've accidentally broken networking or ssh, when even the crappiest lowendbox-tier VM provider generally does. The only way to 'recover'

I don't see any need to 'track' costco gas prices in my area, because at least in western washington state, my local costco is always the least expensive option for regular unleaded. My choice of whether I go there to fill

Fairly amazing when you think about it, like human intellect can run on a bowl of rice and a chicken yakitori skewer.

I guess it depends? Subway, Chipotle, lots of other places (poke bowls?) you choose your stuff and the food is made and then you pay. Taco Time as a randomly chosen fast food example, you pay at the time you order and then someone in the ki

One example would be that BC minimum wage does not pay anywhere near enough to live in Vancouver, it's culturally expected that servers in sit-down dining restaurants, bartenders and similar are still tipped. It's true that the se

Too late to edit my own comment but one obvious exception to the "don't tip if paying standing up" is of course at a bar. I'm not going to fail to tip my bartender. Very different thing than a POS terminal prompting me f

I don't know where you're from but on the north american west coast intentionally leaving a $0.01 tip is a "fuck you" message.

Using the example of my local chipotle as a typical stand up and order and pay at counter arrangement, the food is made before I get to the POS terminal.

We need to at least normalize not tipping for counter service. Given the current wage structures and labor laws in the US and Canada, if I sit down at a table and I receive table service, I'm going to tip 15% unless the service was abh

the webpage says: "Your agent keeps thinking between external interactions in a self-guided loop inspired by human inner monologue" Since supposedly it keeps thinking when you leave it alone, I wonder what happens if you give it a

The "We're going to animate this and make things weirdly smooth and transparent just because" approach reminds me in a bad way of Windows Vista.

Is there a name for this almost entirely LLM generated website content template? I'm talking about the top navbar, the content layout. Seen the exact same thing so many times now.

Curiously the domain has existed since 2022 so either they bought it off a reseller (it was some speculative registration and got parked on a for sale page), or there's some longer term planning involved here. Creation Date: 2022-02-21

That's pretty wild that a Ctrl-F of "qwen" or "china" or "alibaba" on the thomson reuters announcement URL turns up no results. They want to portray it like they developed this thing from scratch, when tha

Can we please not normalize telling people to install things by curl piped into bash? I hate this trend. And particularly not for a very new, mostly untested by a wider audience piece of software from a company that few have ever previously

I wasn't aware that an inanimate piece of software run by a corporation can be 'doxxed'. Totally inaccurate use of the neologism.

My biggest take away from this is not really anything about the specific security vulnerability, but rather that real estate industry people will buy any SaaS product without research or any due diligence. I have personally seen real estate

It appears to be a mundane $15 a month VPS provider that has turned an AI slop tool loose on its homepage to write a whole bunch of marketing copy.

What I meant was, that prior to about 2012, they put a solid and honest effort into building useful networking equipment for people. Then after that ubnt pivoted to mass market consumer goods. The 802.11a and n stuff was solid. In the past

I've been following ubiquiti since the days of 802.11a based radio bridges (and then 802.11n based stuff like the powerbridge m5), it's an exceedingly frustrating company to rely on doing anything serious with.
