Also look at the "DRM" controls: " Q. Can I increase horsepower? a. The first-ever Chevy eCrate conversion kit has a locked system that does not allow you to increase horsepower at this time. "

... so you're buying into a locked, digital control system, akin to what John Deere puts out.

This ranks right up there with BMW wanting to charge a monthly fee for heated seats - building in physical abilities, with digital lockouts. You know, you can buy a LS engine, and do whatever horsepower changes you want to it. For those more akin to computers than cars, this is called a "LS swap" and is common with restomods.

This is disappointing to hear and tarnishes a brand like Chevy. Fortunately, we're in a free market; I'll vote with my dollars.

Sounds like you're Apple now, but would love to hear what you're actually using for DAV on Android if at all?

rquickshare works on Linux and is 99% reliable for me, but I don't have a suggestion for iOS devices since I don't use them. https://github.com/Martichou/rquickshare/releases

Interesting - thanks for the rabbit hole today. ;)

Mercer hasn't released many public statements over the incident. Social media posts aren't necessarily public; but I did find this breach notification sample filed with CA - https://oag.ca.gov/ecrime/databreach/reports/sb24-621099 . I guess we'll see if our legislators finally take data privacy seriously.

From: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/WebUSB_API "WebUSB provides a way for these non-standardized USB device services to be exposed to the web. This means that hardware manufacturers will be able to provide a way for their device to be accessed from the web, without having to provide their own API."

That doesn't sound secure at all!

50 times more likely? Don't they need to supply the data for that when making an "advertisement"?

Thanks for the links - at first they didn't load. But allowing connections in my firewall to unpkg.com, open-meteo.com and opendata.ch allowed them to work. They're simple, but I could see taking that weather example to another level.

Open-meteo and opendata.ch are understandable for the weather and transit information, but unpkg is a third-party vendor dependency that would additionally need to be disclosed. For an enterprise tier of service you'll need to only ship audited dependency libraries.

So you're saying, it's legal to teach AI using illegally sourced copyrighted material, because it's for educational purposes only - interesting argument... ;)

Nice - I like the interface, and its easy to navigate. I don't see a way to test the demo apps, but maybe I missed that?

One thing that stands out is where does the app reside? It seems like it perpetually lives within your ecosystem/servers.

For customers that have contracts with me, I'd then need to disclose Breadboard as a subprocessor given the level of integration in the supply chain, IF the apps aren't downloadable and independently auditable.

You've also probably seen SaaS stocks taking a hit lately...

"Email is tough", software development is tough, IT is tough, walking and talking at the same time is tough, mailing a letter is tough.

When orgs frame problems like this, it erodes trust in the message they try to convey. Email isn't a tough problem, but its a problem nobody wants to really deal with. Email is simple - its a text based protocol, that started out open, but now you need to add security to ensure your email is delivered.

Similarly, I'm using it to write apps in non-native languages, like rust. My first foray into it led to finding poor documentation examples. AI allows me to create without spending large swaths of time learning minutia.

I'm enjoying it to a point, but yes, it does eliminate that sense of accomplishment - when you've spent many late nights working on something complex, and finally finish it. That's pretty much gone.

... and you can be one good earthquake away from insolvency.

So.... you're saying they must be understaffed and paying poverty range wages to afford the San Diego climate and still cut a profit? ;)

Not all of those have "Ships from and sold by Amazon.com" below the shipping timeframe line. It changes depending on inventory stock. The first monitor in the "plus" list says "Ships from and sold by computersale". Some third party sellers can register a device's sale with Dell.

Are you referring to this store - https://www.amazon.com/stores/Dell/page/9B75DD0E-9F42-4B9B-A... ?

It was a bug. I have 3 screens, and it would disappear on the third. An update, sometime around middle of last year fixed it, if my memory is correct.

But, I still have occasional problems with my monitors not waking up when I return to my desk. With 3, I've never had all 3 fail to wake, and a simple disable in the monitor settings, then choose "revert" usually brings them back.

Couldn't be burning man, because the people are dressed too nicely.

Yep, with no privacy policy published.

Really? How about asking google to "play bloomberg news on spotify" next time. Then see if you can remove the resulting chaos from your history so it won't start feeding you slop.

So you buy a big TV, unbox it, and disagree to the TOS. Can it still be used through one of its HDMI ports?

Walmart owns Vizio. Vizio buys components from other manufacturers and has assembly performed overseas. Not sure where the software comes from, but likely one of those suppliers.

Interesting - hadn't heard of that model line from them (but then I spend less time with hardware today than before), and found their 16G model is $669 (Model: PB14255), but non-touch. In looking at the customized version, at least they're not charging stupid money for a touchscreen - $100.75 - BUT going with that custom version means the price now shoots up to $1172.47 !!!

I haven't seen quite that many, but my much limited experience aligns with yours. The Elitebook I currently have is my first and I've been quite happy with it so far. Time will tell if it has other issues like battery bloat or dying fans.

MSPs will push whatever hardware and software they can get preferential deals on (and sometimes kickbacks), so its up to the customer to vote with their dollars. The challenge is: does that decision rest with the CTO or the CFO?

If there was one perfect laptop manufacturer out there, there wouldn't be a need for competition. I care less about ghosting issues since I'm not using mine for gaming or other tasks where image clarity with visual movement is necessary, and more about flexibility with changes in ram and disk size, since those are things I'll likely upgrade over time. Also, most of the time, my laptop is plugged into a dock using monitors instead of the built-in screen.

I've also looked at and really like Framework, but for the times I am using the screen, I require touch, so that's a non-starter.

HP Probook or Elitebook models have upgradable ram, SSD, and are generally serviceable. You can usually find the previous generation on ebay for an inexpensive price.

PDFlib - I've used it since 2001. Their pricing is stable, and they've been flexible over the years as computing models have shifted.

You theoretically could blame bad parenting if the parent monopolized the time of the child to near 100% of their life. But, that isn't the case in our world today. Society, and the circle of people around, are most of the influence that shape the child's sense of reality.

Human relationships, when "operated poorly", will produce similar results.

Its the law pertaining to copyright. https://www.gesetze-im-internet.de/englisch_urhg/englisch_ur... ... and that's only in Germany.

If what you're protecting with robots.txt isn't copyright-able, then you'll need to find another legal means.
