And tying it to the Bluesky system? Not sure the cost of that (I swear I saw it was a potential monetization they were looking into) but also the time to figure it out isn’t practical for everyone.

That’s great for an organization like NPR which may have the resources to tie its own domain name into Bluesky. For some freelance reporter or otherwise verifiable person, I’m not sure it’s quite so practical.

If they are, and there isn’t anything to display it, how are we to know what’s been vetted and what’s slipped through the cracks? Especially on a new account?

Most of them are attempts to pat themselves on the back for being so funny

Raspberry Pi 400. I thought having the built-in keyboard would be useful and as it turns out, it wasn’t! My first thing running on a Pi so I didn’t realize how much it depends on things running remotely. Oh well!

When setting it, sure. But if we’re talking about next login, that would imply we’re talking about passwords established in the database/server.

Then again, you do have that plaintext password available when it’s entered. Rather than checking what’s in the database, you could see what’s in the form that just triggered a successful login. That’s not as scary

How does the system know that an already-established password is weak if not in plain text? Or are you saying you have a set of passwords, each of which have gone through the same cipher algorithm, and see if there are any matches?

Take a second to actually read this one. It’s pretty short and sweet. It’s also from 2007, and talks about nouns (maybe compound nouns) that we really don’t think and probably never knew were hyphenated. It’s not about the use we typically see today.

As an aside, I’ve noticed people start hyphenating in weird ways, like “I’ve been at this job for 7-years”

I’ve seen a little 3A fuse of that style on a furnace control board. It actually saved the day when a thermostat/wiring had a short at a neighbor’s house, so there’s that.

I hadn’t heard that story before. True or not, I’m glad it was there

Yeah, as a software engineer I have 3 monitors if you include the one built into my laptop

the vast majority of TikTok users are outside the United States.

Then they can decide that it would be better to not serve the United States users and keep the “vast majority” of their userbase as-is

Through the WiFi-equipped EVSE. Or heck, give the car WiFi. Pretty much everyone has WiFi these days, and it’s not going anywhere anytime soon.

My 2012 Pathfinder was the last year of that generation and had navigation designed before UX was really emphasized. It mainly relies on physical buttons and it’s overall terrible. Part of it involves an iPod-like scroll wheel, which is actually kinda nice to control zoom but that display is another kind of terrible.

“was” getting. Both can be true if LTE went downhill after the 5G deployment.

What? Every smartphone I can remember owning has gotten a GPS signal if I hold it up to the window. Plenty of planes have GPS on board too. If there is a speed lockout, a 737 isn’t enough to break that threshold.

I wouldn’t classify clickbait as deception so much as a certain intentional vagueness that requires clicking to get what could have been in the title from the beginning.

Also, every damn thumbnail on YouTube seems to look like, well, that. Pointing to a random thing (hard to tell what it is from the thumbnail alone), a vague title with a vague emotion, and a person with a weird expression for some reason.

If that’s the approach they took, and especially if it made it into a source code repository, I’d probably have fired them a long time ago!

One thing I saw after the GameStop thing happened that gave me a bit of perspective: when you buy and sell stock, your risk in the worst case scenario is that a company goes down to zero and you lose everything you put into it. That “everything you put into it” is the limit of your losses. When shorting, there is no practical limit to your losses because there is no upper practical limit to the share value.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m in the fuck Spez camp as well (hence me being here). But there is virtually unlimited potential risk to being wrong about this, so keep that in mind.

Credit cards, but not credit. Home, auto, business, and other loans have existed long before that.
