I was part of a team which had to make web interactives for an old desktop-only Java-based CMS which published out to HTML. This was back before cross-publishing to formats like Apple News was important; we only had to worry about things working on the browser version.

The CMS didn't support any kind of HTML/JS embed, and had quite a short character limit per "Text" block. But luckily, that block didn't filter out _all_ inline HTML - only some characters.

So, a bootstrap "Loading" element was inserted, along with a script tag which would bring in the rest of the resources and insert those in to the page where the bootstrap was placed. This quickly became a versatile, re-usable loader, and allowed us to launch the features. But all this grew from a very inelegant hack which just happened to work.

...in America. Europe here quite nicely standardising on CCS2.

And yet, the Kickstarter has achieved triple their goal already.

Yet the alert has made it here, proving it was effectively distributed. Go to where the people are.

Ah, I see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Betteridge%27s_law_of_headline... is still working.

While seasoning your weeds can be tasty and fun, it is significantly more labour intensive than Roundup. The additional hours put in to alternatives stack up quickly.

I don't see this as a more suitable term; I had to check the definition of "confabulate" and the first hit in the macOS dictionary is "formal; engage in conversation" and the second is "psychiatry; fabricate imaginary experiences".

The fact I had to look it up to make sure, and that it isn't the primary definition, makes this a bad alternative to a well understood word which has already become established.

It might not be trivial to achieve technically, but at the point you have multiple speakers dotted around a multi-room space, making them all play the same thing in sync is a fairly obvious idea, which I think is more what is being argued here.

I’m not sure if you’re insinuating Jobs would not have shipped a thermally deficient device, but the Intel MacBook Pros were a glaring example of that.

I was going to suggest they confused MFi and e-marking for the USB-C cables, but it appears you only need e-marking for above 60 watt applications, which the iPhone 15 isn't going to require. Good news all round.

You’re being a little evasive about the context of the information posted. If I joined your TF2 server and a bot automatically posted my ASN somewhere, I’d be reasonably uncomfortable with that.

You seem to have made your mind up that your situation isn’t a problem, but haven’t given us enough context to evaluate that ourselves.

I can almost guarantee it was raised by someone back then. That’s a strange claim to make. Even just dealing with the poo was a logistical nightmare for a city!

I hear Flexport are hiring.

> a segment of their website? It's not yours. It never was.

That's really not been the ethos advertised to moderators until now; it was more that unless you caused site instability (legal or otherwise) it was yours to run as you please.

You may be speaking a literal truth, but the emotive background is relevant here.

The utility of /r/all has all but gone. It was a useful view to "what's the most popular anywhere on the site", but for various good reasons, many subreddits don't qualify to show there - either by being removed or opting out of display there. It's a bit of a shame.

Oh. This is not a list of services available for £0.09; my mistake. Cheerio.

Thanks, the Screen Time tip is very useful. Bit annoying that it can't prompt to let you use the Apple ID settings (they're now just unavailable until you go to Screen Time settings again) but better safe than sorry.

If it isn't, then my question "why the inverter" still applies I suppose. Anything else might just be out of scope or not shown, I'm not sure. It just seems like overkill for just the pi and display.

edit: His desktop computer is powered by this at times. Not pictured and not labelled on the photo. Makes sense though.

I'm a little confused about the need for the inverter here.

The SmartSolar can provide output the Pi can use. Why not just throw a 12v-compatible USB power supply on there?

Going up to mains then back down to 5v seems inefficient. Am I missing something?

edit: I'm wrong! My SmartSolar has "LOAD" output but OP's does not. Ref: https://www.victronenergy.com/solar-charge-controllers/smart...

Not a fan of Google's tactics but this is a somewhat misleading headline - they're discontinued and the software won't receive further upgrades, so at some point in time they may stop working if the platform moves on.

That's not "are dead" and "shutdown" in the immediate as the title implies.

Agree with this article - those little Prodesks are available very cheap and with some impressive configurations for power vs. strength.

I have an i3-8100T version which includes on-cpu video encoding, ideal for Plex. Runs unRAID. Replaced a much larger system which took much more power.

Technical stuff aside, hire someone you can work with, and others can work with. Don't tolerate "brilliant jerks" as Netflix put it. They're absolute poison to an organsation.

I'd vastly prefer a less-qualified person who is eager to learn more, work effectively and collaborate than someone extremely qualified who spends all day being snippy to others.

No dictionary I've found defines it. I wonder what they were aiming for too.

They've clearly stated it's a name. You can't make a company, copyright a name, and then attempt to claim all rights to it. See gail.com, nissan.com above.

Thank you, this is news to me, and apparently something is stubbornly not working properly in my setup. That "indefinite" option, which I've never seen before but you kindly highlight, should fix this case. Time to... debug a coin.

It isn’t. You can’t. I would love that to be true.

Sadly, they do not. I've got the full Family Sharing thing going with Apple, Airtags are notably absent from it.

Yes - it would make sense for them to be optionally, per-device, pooled in Family Sharing in my opinion.

That's a little unfair. The problem is more that families sharing airtags don't have a good option to trust eachothers tags.

I'm a big fan of "boring" technology for this reason. Huge knowledge base behind the existing stuff. No real need to change.
