Yes, I can't get it to inspect some of my domains.

And 502 Bad Gateway, even though behind Cloudflare.

No matter what URL entered, I get an "Internal server error" message.

I opened a case earlier today (Pro subscription zone) and had a reply in about five hours.

Account with one Pro zone, and multiple free zones.

"This can also serve as a pretty decent backup system, and if you port forward the device you're connecting to, you can even allow it access to the wider internet so that you can access your files on the go. While I wouldn't recommend it for security reasons, the point is that it's a fairly robust method that can actually give you pretty decent results in a pinch for quick backups."

No, no, no.

> "Instead of deprecating third-party cookies, we would introduce a new experience in Chrome that lets people make an informed choice that applies across their web browsing, and they’d be able to adjust that choice at any time."

Do we believe an average Internet user has any knowledge to make an "informed decision"?

What is wrong with "Roger" and "Wilco"?

These are shorter. And remind me of the voice chat program Roger Wilco too.

I think he lost me on "working with Meta."

I am running Firefox 128 (Windows) and don't see this option. Is this a Linux thing only?

I receive many of these emails every week. Some start with flattery ("I just found your website and love what you are doing. Maybe you can give more value to your readers by linking to a resource here...") and some straight to the point ("I run a three-way link exchange") but they are all SEO scammers.

The hype is real. None of these solved anything that people need.

And I'm talking people, not "users".

Stopped watching when the demo showed the letter O with a slash. That would confuse me a lot. I am an old timer and expect the zero to have it.

Checked again, only available in some countries.

I was just trying to order one. But only available to ship to a limited list of countries.

Another Patriot Phone?

Just look at their About Us page and leave knowing less than before.

Just another grift, in my opinion.

I've noticed my Synology NAS doing lots of DNS lookups for [synology service].synology.com.fritz.box.

Because I had *.fritz.box DNS blocked on my Cloudflare Zero Trust Gateway, these were returning NXDOMAIN, causing the NAS to fail during some operations (checking for software and packages updates, backups).

I've disabled the option "Apply the domain name provided by DHCP server" (Network | DNS | Advanced) and the NAS stopped these.

Now, this is a worry because that option is checked by default so how many Synology NAS could be trying to connect to these sub-domains? What if the block is removed and the new owner can actually create some of these?

Google rejected 2.28M "policy-violating" Android apps and blocked around 333K dev accounts from Google Play in 2023.

This is a staggering number of bad stuff. The enshitification of the mobile apps ecosystem is real.

I replaced a Fritz.Box many years ago and a Windows-based laptop I have here still tries a lookup to frit.box every few seconds.

It's Monday morning here and I just started the laptop. It's still doing lookups on fritz.box.

Does anyone know where and why Windows is requesting this?

It is incredible that those most vehemently arguing media companies are "anti-free speech" seem to be the most anti-free speech of all.

Even free speech absolutists.

You should have multiple access to important accounts. Yubikeys are great for this. I keep a couple in an envelope with important instructions.

1. The store version has a limit on the number of computers - not that I am currently close to the limit, but I don't like it. 2. Not updated fast enough. 3. I want to keep my Microsoft Account separate from my Work account on my work laptop, and I don't want to create a Microsoft Account for work.

Cloudflare Pages are free. Mine is on https://minipaint.freitasm.com

Compared to Photopea - there are no cloud services access and limited formats (no PSD, etc). But gratis and no ads.

From the article: "This bill merely would require any food that contains a vaccine..."

If someone uses "merely" in a sentence, I automatically think it is at the same level as "I'm just asking questions".

I use Paint.Net on my Windows machines. It's a great piece of software—and free. I bought the Microsoft Store version to support the author, although I continue to install the free download.

I also run https://github.com/viliusle/miniPaint using Cloudflare Pages so it's hosted in one of my sub-domains as minipaint.[mydomainhere] and it's great for quick jobs.

It's not cloud backup if it syncs two ways.

My family use a mix of Office 365, Exchange Online and Google Workspace for email, documents, etc. Add to this the required Microsoft Account for Windows logins and OneDrive.

I use a Synology NAS and they have packages to backup all these kinds of accounts, including versioning.

Even if an account is closed their files and emails live in our NAS.

If someone's life depends on anything digital, backup is a minor inconvenience or cost.

> So, this is the second time a "run your Android apps on Windows" initiative fizzles out: before WSA (which was Amazon-centric), there was a late-2020 "Your Phone" feature that (briefly) allowed Samsung apps on Windows desktops.

This feature still exists and it works. It's partly developed by Samsung, so that's why it works.

> 3. Solving problems when you're stuck: When I feel stuck with a problem or an error message, ChatGPT has proven to be an invaluable resource. Even when the answer it gave was wrong, a little hint in there was enough for me to find the solution I needed.

> 4. Generating functions you're too lazy to write: Often, you know how to write a function but you're too damn lazy to write it. Eg, use axios, go to this URL, get the contents and write it to CSV. Writing a function to do this feels like a chore. ChatGPT is a helpful assistant in this case.

A friend swears by it and has whole single-page sites written by chatGPT in his internal lab.

Just to test your point, I've asked ChatGPT to write a VBScript function that returns false if the input is true and false if the input is false.

It wrote a seven-line function testing true, false and otherwise (clever, testing for null).

I would have just written a function to return false - one line that covers all conditions, including null. There is no testing, so it uses fewer CPU cycles.

So that's my rational: yes it can be used but don't just take the results at face value.

What does it have to do with "crypto events"?

It should apply to any event, surely?

You only have to look at LinkedIn to see the levels people go to when commenting on women's posts. Even those where these women post nothing but business - and if their posts have a photo, there's an even better chance these comments will be there.

On the other hand, you can see some posts are bait. And the guys replying take it and run. You see them because if any of your connections react to these posts, you might see them in your feed.

It's cringey. Coupled with the self-aggrandising posts, the self-help "wisdom" and other stuff, they make LinkedIn look like a Mos Eisley Cantina.
