My wife uses the Google speaker to find her phone. For some time now Google has refused to recognize my voice for that feature. But it seems I've found a way to trick it. audiopub.site/listen/e9777339-…
Помните историю про то, что пластиковые трубочки для питья сильно вредят экологии?
Так вот, японский макдональдс делает следующий шаг. Кому-то в голову, видимо, пришла идея «Да это ж, блин, стакан! Из него ж можно пить!» и решили убрать трубочки вообще 😀
Мне это уже начинает напоминать анекдот про «Давайте уже фару на лоб! Тогда и ночью косить смогу!»
@rayslava У нас в некоторых маках тоже трубочки не подают, зато стаканы и подставки под картошку из такого жёсткого пластика, видимо, многоразовые (но это не точно)
Apparently, these days one can not run a public SmokePing web service without receiving unsolicited vulnerability reports about "SmokePing publicly exposed"
What comes next? Will I start receiving reports that my blog is publicly readable?
@mirek I am getting reports that I have badly set webserver as it exposes hidden directories. And the example of such directory is something in the "/. well-known/" path. 😀
I started a little python project to take my ~20 years of #Flickr photos, categorize them and analyze the content using #ollama locally. So far the results are pretty good. Some hallucinations, but mostly useful content.
I'd be interested in knowing if others have tried this. What information has been useful to collect? Face identification is a big area my tool needs some work on. I want to group family/friends.
In the past I saw a link to a web dev tutorial that was starting at the absolute beginning. From creating a HTML file and just open it in the browser. It was pretty hyped here, but I don't remember the name.
Is my #WebDev or #Coding bubble aware of what I mean? 😅 I need this at work for another company that we work with that has absolutely no idea how websites work.
I really enjoyed reading it back then but I have absolutely no memory of the name or URL. 🙃
Just vacuuming thoughts: The requirement to have some kind of permission to go pee in the middle of class is antithetical to teaching children that they should have and demand bodily autonomy, and instead teaches that authority figures are going to limit them for no other reason than the chance that someone who doesn't need to pee needs or wants a couple of minutes away from the classroom for any other reason, thus punishing the whole for the theoretical infraction of the few... At worst giving them pee issues and/or social trauma?
And also have you ever tried to focus on fucking anything while needing to pee? What the fuck is wrong with you, just let the kids pee.
Elon Musk's version of Wikipedia is scraping content from that site using a Creative Commons license and making edits to articles about more polarizing topics.
People are slowly realizing that Android only weaponized open source licenses but was always meant to be a captive platform, like people are slowly realizing that VS Code has open source code but is a captive platform.
Open source licences are not enough. They’re regularly weaponized as a tech enthusiast trap.
I'm on a business trip. People keep asking me about my @frameworkcomputer laptop. They're surprised when I tell them not to consider a #frameworkcomputer anymore thanks to their shitty politics. Folks expected much better from them, especially because - in their mind - framwork was out there to make the world a slightly better place...
Hello curl security team,
First, thank you for your incredible work on maintaining such a critical and robust piece of software. We have been conducting a deep-dive source code audit of libcurl...
the user insists he's not using AI but I don't believe that claim and I will not engage further with it. The apologizing, the overly long responses, the making up a vulnerability of documented behavior.
so funny how they spent "hours of their own time" researching this, but couldn't be bothered to spend one more hour to write their own report. Clearly slop.
yeah well it’s gorgeous. Plus the fact it relies on battery packs, I bought three to use as stand in batteries throughout the day, but it’s lasting longer than I thought it would. And it’s so dam light. And the speaker sounds honestly amazing for casual use. And the eSIM only kinda works for me to be honest. And I don’t need three cameras. And I don’t have to worry about batteries aging because of the packs.
Um, there's still a battery in the phone, so yes, you do. If it dies, the thing isn't going to turn on and it makes it as thick, if not thicker, than a phone that doesn't need one... Stupid, stupid phone.
Negates the whole pissing point of a thin phone. Oh yes, let me slap my fat- as hell battery on the back because, reasons... Could have just bought a normal 17 without the pro if you're not camera-fussed.
@machenni I have a 17 pro, was out for the day, didn't have to even think about charging, or battery packs, or making it twice as thick, because it just... Worked.
I'm not discounting that as an important thing. But you've listed so many reasons not to like it, that I'm wondering if you feel that it's gorgeousness outweighs all of that.
@davidnjoku I think it's one of those 'I bought it so I damn well better like it.' All those batteries weighing down your pocket/bag as well, just to get through the day, at huge extra cost as well? Nah.
I'm not really entitled to an opinion cos I don't think I've ever owned an Apple product in my life. However @a11yChief does say that even though they've bought battery packs the in-built battery is lasting longer than expected.
@davidnjoku I hate the idea of it, I don't hate the product itself, other than thinking it's a waste of money, when the slightly larger sibling is cheaper, thicker, and won't rely on battery after battery being slapped on the back. Oh, and it comes with more cameras and one extra speaker, so it sounds better, and takes better photos. for something that costs as much as the Air does to be so shit in so many ways is quite frankly bloody offensive.
When Samsung released the Galaxy S25 Edge a few weeks before the Air, it made sense to me - even though it has all the same flaws. They'd developed the ultra-thin technology as part of their foldable programme, and so it made sense to try to make thin phones a new category.
Maybe Apple are working on a foldable too, and that's why they're doing this.
@davidnjoku Just had a look. The phone outright, £999. Assuming he purchased three extra batteries, that's £99/battery, thus £297 just on batteries. total: £1296.
Standard iPhone 17 is £799 so that's already cheaper than the thinner phone (with only one speaker and one back camera and no extra battery)
An all die großen Unternehmen: Man muss vor Trump nicht auf die Knie fallen. Die Python Software Foundation hat sich für eine staatliche Förderung beworben, um die Sicherheit ihre Software zu erhöhen. Sie haben eine Zusage über 1,5mio$ erhalten. Die Bedingungen verlangten allerdings, dass sie keine Programme durchführen würden, die Vielfalt, Gleichberechtigung und Inklusion (DEI) fördern oder unterstützen. Daraufhin haben sie die Förderung abgelehnt. pyfound.blogspot.com/2025/10/N… #python #vielfalt #dei
Well, that Gaza peace deal lasted well. Perhaps he'll still get the Nobel Peace Prize for all the other wars he's ended (and the Ukraine war, when he has 24 hours away from the golf course). bbc.co.uk/news/live/c891ex72nj…
Has there been any position from European Commission on this? IANAL but I don't see how this doesn't breach the nondiscrimination obligation Google has a DMA gatekeeper, even if the EC is dragging their feet with Apple's similar notarisation process.
@radasbona please stop correcting people for what they didn't say maybe? You're barking the wrong tree there, I didn't say that, I just quoted a source. 🤷♂️
And that hasn't even mentioned that Google is in deep data exchange with the increasingly fascist state. I don't trust Google to not become the cyber Gestapo of a future MAGA state.
Software that installs multiple shortcuts with the same hotkey should be shot. It's bad enough that I'm forced into using the Kindle app rather than getting the files direct, but more annoying that I have to delete multiple shortcuts before I can reuse the hotkey other software I'm already running uses. One shortcut? I can live with that. But there's no justification for shortcuts at multiple points on the system with the same hotkey, all blocking previously set-up tools.
Book piracy is just as prolific as ever, despite amazon's efforts. I'm no economist, but I have a strong feeling that open content, without DRM or country restrictions would sell better than the current walled-garden these suppliers insist upon.
Funny how these things annoy me all-the-more when my time at the computer is precious. Increasingly, I just want to use the tech, get the job done. SO thanks for slowing me down today, Amazon.
I agree with you. Besides that, I feel when we purchase Kindle content, we should be free and able to access it on any of the devices we use for reading.
I was reading something about this last week. Turns out, many people believe as far as Amazon's concerned, it's not about piracy, though that's what they love to talk about preventing. It's about vendor lock-in. If you have a large library of books in your Kindle account, you will be—at least in theory—less likely to switch to another Ebook platform since you can't convert your Kindle books into something you can take with you.
