What we really should have done is made the Car Talk guys president. If there’s one thing I know for sure, it’s that those two would never have forced me to listen to what some MIT grad thinks.
Absolute gold! (The hosts of Car Talk were both MIT grads)
I was going to say as I started to read through this, it’s either brave or foolhardy, especially with the TOR integration. That sounds ripe for abuse. Even with your precautions that sounds like a risk I personally wouldn’t want to take, but good luck to you!
Apple TV is $129, Nvidia Shield is $149. I guess that’s closer to the real retail price of a device that’s not expecting to supplement revenue with user data?
I haven’t made one in years. When I made my account it was back when you needed an invitation.
I wonder how much the new choice of CEO was up to the founder versus the venture capital investors. I’m assuming the investors had the main input.
- Google is reportedly testing a 5GB storage limit for new Gmail accounts, down from the standard 15GB.
- Users can “unlock” the full 15GB of free storage by adding a phone number to their account.
Seems they’re trying to get phone numbers this way. Maybe it’s for increased user data, maybe it’s to prevent fraudulent activity, maybe it’s to have more information to give authorities.
To you as well!
As in you think they were pressured into stopping development so people would switch over to BitLocker, which now appears to have a backdoor put in by Microsoft or at least one of the developers, presumably at the behest of a government?
Is this an old photo or are you actually someplace that still has this much snow in May?
Even in the US with private health insurance, those providers will pay for screenings that can save costs by catching something early. Sometimes that might be legally mandated, other times it’s based on cost/benefit. It all varies from plan to plan, but the more common a disease is the more likely they’ll pay for at least a low-cost initial screening.
Prices were already going up and supplies were already constrained because the AI demand was pulling so much of the capacity. Iran hitting the petrochemical plant is just adding on to an already bad situation.
Twisters (the recent sequel starring Daisy Edgar-Jones, Glen Powell, and Anthony Ramos) has a new team trying to set up 3 phased array radars 120° from each other to catch an unprecedented surround view of a tornado. It was better than I expected.
The fact that Aeris-10 offers a true phased array system and ±45° elevation/azimuth adjustments are seemingly its differentiating factors. Prices for electronics are exceedingly floaty in these ship-shinking days, but a brief estimate pins the bill of materials at $5,000 for the 10N and $7,200 for the 10E.
So for $21,600 I could attempt the goal of the main characters in Twisters.
I was assuming the walls would be removed, or not really be a shipping container but a steel frame that fit the dimensions and has the right connectors.
Not having read the article, I wonder if building an elevated array of photovoltaic panels over the batteries would make sense by shading them from the sun, giving more passive help with heat? A simple roof would be cheaper but solar panels would mean the site is also producing electricity, not just storing it.
A couple months ago a story came out of a court case that they would happily keep running ads that were identified as scams; they would just increase the advertising costs for the accounts running those ads. The more reports, the higher the price until they reach a limit to ban them. Basically if their users are getting scammed, they want a bigger cut.
It’s interesting to see the author mention BlueSky, I think as a potential positive, alongside Mastodon and other federated protocols. Here in the Fediverse I only ever see negative views of it, largely because it doesn’t use Activity Pub but also because it’s coming from a private company. But it sounds like the author thinks we need that diversity?
Somehow my brother wound up with a copy of Crash Time: Autobahn Pursuit for Xbox 360. There are many reasons to call it a bad game, and it’s a little odd to release a video game in North America for a German TV show few people in North America have heard of. We each beat the game eventually, but we had a lot more fun not playing the game the way it was intended and just driving around the open world racing each other and crashing into things. I even wrote to them suggesting they add a mode similar to the car soccer games Top Gear tried on their show (this was several years before Rocket League was released).
