Dlouhé roky mám na blogu vyhledávání pomocí Google. Párkrát jsem sice narazil na to, že mi článek, o kterém jsem stoprocentně věděl, že na blogu je, nenašlo, ale nevěnoval jsem tomu větší pozornost. Až teď, při zkoumání proč mi tak strašně poklesla návštěvnost, jsem zjistil šokující pravdu. Google mě cenzuruje!

O pokusech něco s tím udělat bude další článek, zatím ale dělám první opatření a přecházím s vyhledáváním na blogu k DuckDuckGo.

REMINDER – 13 years left:

There could be major computer system failures on January 19, 2038 at exactly 04:14 a.m. and 08 seconds CET. (03:14 UTC)

Some systems are said not to be able to process this time. A counter overflow occurs and the date automatically jumps to December 13, 1901. Similar to the “Millennium Bug”, the extent of the Year-2038-Problem cannot be predicted.

Esto me ha hecho mucha gracia 😂😂😂

“¡Atención! Es probable que haya nuevos recién llegados a Mastodon en los próximos días.

Así que durante unos días, finjamos ser personas normales, no hablamos de bicicletas, Debian, fuentes RSS y cómo programar su Rassberry en C++.

Solo se permiten fotos de gatos y pasteles. Conto con vosotros”.

The Internet Archive has a collection of 460 episodes of the radio series Suspense, and it claims to be a collection of digitally restored episodes. The audio quality is quite good.

Reading a published internal presentation from Nokia in the after iPhone launch (in 2007).

It says:

"Nokia needs to develop the touch UI to fight back. S60 should be focus. Maemo platform is critical strength due to openness. Nokia needs a Chief UI architect to re-energize Nokia’s UI innovation across platforms and businesses."

Their failure was all self inflicted.

I have listened to over one thousand pieces of classical music in the last three months, and I have prepared a special playlist a little out of the ordinary.

😈😈FEELING EVIL, SHOW ME THE FORBIDDEN CLASSICAL😈😈

The reviews are in: "I thought classical music was boring, but this playlist gave me an anxiety disorder." "A disturbing glimpse into the dark heart of guys who write ballets about pretty princesses." "Who knew that a toccata could fall down the stairs?"

Featuring the talents of every Russian composer ever and also a few other guys from Hungary and France

BambuLab basically locks down their entire 3D printer ecosystem with this ridiculous cloud authorization system.

You want to print locally via your LAN? Sorry, the cloud needs to authorize your g-code first.

Want to use another slicer to send your job to the printer? Sorry, no.

Would it really still surprise anyone if DRM'd filaments are next on their agenda? Their printers are good, their prices are cheap, but please, stop supporting this company.

@AccessOn Would you consider mentioning the passing of Ed Potter on an upcoming edition of Access On? Before we had podcasts, Ed recorded Playback Magazine which, in many ways, was quite similar to the work that you do with your podcasts today. He provided listings of toll free numbers for ordering merchandise by phone and also provided listener-submitted reviews and demonstrations of products which were available at that time. Ed Potter, in that respect, was a true accessibility champion of his time. While he clearly lived a long and full life, I am still sad to learn of his passing but I'm grateful for his contributions to the blindness community.

For reference:

in reply to Joy Tilton

Larry and I singed up for the Playback Pilot newsletter which came out in 1979l. he was testing to see if there was an interest in the audio magazine.
We became friends and traded thousands of radio programs. We talked with him a couple of years ago and he was doing well except for a loss of hearing in one of his ears.
I'm really sorry to hear this news. He was a long time good friend.

Wrote up a gnarly sequence of hacks for downloading every video in a TikTok account, just in case anyone needs such a thing in the next ~24 hours

uv, yt-dlp, JS in the Firefox DevTools and optionally throws in mlx-whisper for generating transcripts too til.simonwillison.net/tiktok/d…

I recently discovered this channel, Branch Education. While their videos (which all have to do with how parts of computers work) have nice visuals, I find I can nearly always follow them even though I can't see. This one has some really cool information on how graphics cards work. youtube.com/watch?v=h9Z4oGN89M…

I would grab these anker earbuds for $15 ASAP if I were you! I'm not just saying this cause they are on sale but they are the best non airpods I've ever used. No connection issues with the sense player or Iphone SE 2 running IOS 18. 6-7 hours on the buds and 40 something hours for the case in terms of battery, the specs on the case battery say 700MAH which is pretty amazing. Go go go!

Confession #328 of a long-time royal watcher.

There's one thing I miss about the late Prince Philip, The Duke of Edinburgh. His sharp tongue. For example, this is what the royal second fiddle said upon leaving a plane, when asked by a particularly unimaginative journalist what the flight was like:

"And how was your flight, sir?"
"Have you ever been on an aeroplane?"
"Yes."
"Well, it was like that."

Anyway, here's a picture taken out a plane window in 2012, using the Retro Phone app on an HTC Sensation... a phone possesing a battery life so short it would die faster than a cordless Magic Wand.

Bambu Lab has just released a beta firmware for their 3D printers that includes DRM: blog.bambulab.com/firmware-upd…. it removes the ability to control your printer over the network from anything but Bambu software.

OrcaSlicer discussion: github.com/SoftFever/OrcaSlice…

Bambu claims that the negative response to their DRM is due to confusion, but nobody is confused. this new firmware doesn’t offer any security benefits; it has already been trivially broken. its only purpose is to be a DMCA hazard.

Developers having their apps available via the #IzzyOnDroid repo and curious how they perform, can look that up for themselves via our download statistics. We just included some examples on how to easily find out

* how often your app was downloaded since statistics became available
* day-by-day download statistics

Each just with a shell one-liner using `jq`.
