EricE··on The Internet Archive is back, in read-only mode

Someone discovered a large chunk of blog.twitter.com was gone, so some screwing around has already happened. The IA is now below Wikipedia for credibility :/

Success in spite of the organization...

Worth every penny.

EricE··on Qantas apologizes after R-rated film plays on every screen during flight

That and I've yet to be on a plane where the screen couldn't be dimmed all the way off via controls at my seat.

EricE··on Who died and left the US $7B?

Yes, what a colossal waste - would have been much better going to charities.

EricE··on iPhone Mirroring at work may expose employees’ personal information

It's not just data security tools - let your company get involved in litigation and now all your personal stuff is exposed to discovery too.

Just dumb to mix personal and work - computers are no longer exotic.

EricE··on iPhone Mirroring at work may expose employees’ personal information

Good luck when your laptop gets scooped up in discovery/litigation. After having been through lawsuits at work there is ZERO chance of me ever putting anything personal on work equipment.

EricE··on McDonald's says Tyson and other suppliers fixed beef prices

There is zero way we could feed everyone without meat. Animals can process vegetation we can't at all - let alone effectively. That you can even have the temerity to make such an argument speaks to the extreme historical privilege you currently hold compared to the rest of human history.

EricE··on The Remarkable Life of Ibelin

Whenever I see stories like this (and they are frequent, including two uncles in my family) I think about the people who are convinced they are being benevolent in advocating for the abortion babies like this out of "compassion".

EricE··on Starlink offering free internet access for 30 days for Hurricane Helene victims

You do realize people have generators/solar, right? That there are dozens of videos on Youtube of people setting them up and neighbors coming over to share bandwidth so they can communicate with family?

Purely gestural? Can you be any more thoughtless?

EricE··on Twitter banned me after publishing the JD Vance Dossier

All he had to do was redact things like his home address, phone number and social security number. Doing so wouldn't have affected any of the other content and also wouldn't have run afoul of Twitters policies.

Talk about grandstanding over nothing. Then again being an ass gets you more attention so mission accomplished!

EricE··on Twitter banned me after publishing the JD Vance Dossier

It had his home address, phone numbers and social security numbers. A reasonable person would just redact those before publishing and then it wouldn't have been an issue.

EricE··on Twitter banned me after publishing the JD Vance Dossier

Publishing someone's social security number is "free speech"?

EricE··on Las Vegas staff say MrBeast should be 'blacklisted', cite OSHA

Three are extensions and tools that reveal the dislikes - they are still there even if Youtube doesn't expose them by default.

It's hardly unique to Kia!

EricE··on Hacking Kia: Remotely controlling cars with just a license plate

Anything in the last 10 years is probably ratting you out already.

EricE··on Hacking Kia: Remotely controlling cars with just a license plate

If you own a car since about 2010 onwards it's probably ratting you out already.

EricE··on Twitter/X will let people you've blocked see your posts

Yes, because everyone knows that trolls just give up at the least amount of friction.

EricE··on Study: EV charging stations boost spending at nearby businesses

Yeah, turns out captive audiences get bored!

And they wonder why EV sales are tapering off...

EricE··on Move Fast and Abandon Things

Luckily this is also on the front page today: https://github.com/readme/guides/finish-your-projects

EricE··on Smart Goose Deterrent System

Brilliant! I used to work in a building where they would go through the front driveways and walkways on a routine basis, covering them with poo and creating a seriously hazardous situation!

EricE··on FCC wants all phones unlocked in sixty days, AT&T and T-Mobile aren't so keen

Yup - it's why the iPhone wasn't on Verizon for years - Verizon insisted on being able to "customize" the iPhone and Apple told them to pound sand.

EricE··on Forbes Marketplace: The Parasite SEO Company Trying to Devour Its Host

One of the best things about Kagi search (https://kagi.com) is you can ban domains from search results. Forbes was one of the first I entered!

EricE··on Apple mobile processors are now made in America by TSMC

And I was wrong, it's the third major crash with Lithium Ion batteries in the last couple of months.

EricE··on A Tesla Semi has already traveled 250k miles in 1.5 years
