ijijijjij··on Asus refunds Zenfone buyer for failing to provide bootloader unlock tools
even if it is different companies, not sure if it makes a difference... it just encourage bad practices.

AKA.... don't look at the small picture.

ijijijjij··on Engineers Pinpoint Cause of Voyager 1 Issue, Are Working on Solution
Also, it appears that Voyager 2 was launched before Voyager 1, according to Wikipedia... So maybe they had problems with Voyager 1 from the very beginning.

"It was launched 16 days before its 'twin', Voyager 1"

I guess unless Voyager 0 is the final goal. Either way, NASA is not using money efficiently.

why also post the link as a comment?
ijijijjij··on Boeing awards outgoing CEO Dave Calhoun a 45% pay rise
That's not how I understand it. They want him to make good decisions to make his shares' value go up for when he will be allowed to sell them. Which kind of make sense but I'm not sure.
ijijijjij··on SearXNG is a free internet metasearch engine
Google search has gone to shit since Google+ .... or more precisely, when they removed the plus operator in Google search around 2011. And no, the quotes aren't as good.

My bet is that Google will become "Google TV" and search won't be possible. They will just show you what they want. They'll probably frame it as "AI knows what you want to see".

Maybe they should ban Google instead of TikTok (I don't use either though).

"Calhoun’s 2023 awards were designed to emphasize the importance of long-term shareholder value growth"

He was awarded lots of shares that he can't cash out yet, apparently

ijijijjij··on An IRC client in your motherboard
I never seen an IRC server that only support SSL.... I don't use many networks nowadays though... I only know of one channel that supports encrypted DCC transfers though.
ijijijjij··on Amazon ditches 'just walk out' checkouts at its grocery stores
Maybe it didn't work because they were using video as opposed to something like RFID tags?
ijijijjij··on Apple cuts 600 jobs after dropping self-driving car plans
phones are computers after all... they just try to limit their features for some reason.
ijijijjij··on How Hertz’s bet on Teslas went sideways
I always charged at Tesla's stations because I never was home, and the charges was a surprise at the end of the rental because they charged me only once when I returned the car... no clue if they ripped me off because it was the first time I used electric car chargers and didn't pay close attention to the receipt.

I know it would have been a whole lot cheaper if I had my own charger though.

ijijijjij··on How Hertz’s bet on Teslas went sideways
when I rented a Tesla, by mistake, because they didn't have any other cars available, charging was definitely the problem. They charged me the same price as their cheapest cars, but it still ended up being more expensive because of charging (I paid about $900 for 3 weeks of charging at Tesla's stations, and it would probably would have cost me $300 with a small gasoline car)

In other words, you gotta be stupid to rent a Tesla unless you do it just for fun.

ijijijjij··on Ask HN: How to Block YouTube at Home
just block all of Google's IP blocks (most of the internet wont work properly, but thats ok)

Go to https://whois.arin.net/ui/advanced.jsp and Search for “Google LLC”, by Organization… Click each organization found and then select “Related Networks”.

Then block all that shit.

If you just want to block youtube, just do it at router/domain name level? just dont forget any of their domain names...

ijijijjij··on Can Demis Hassabis save Google?
> maybe some people like you prefer chatGPT

not sure when I said that... that's news to me

> I don't see openai competing in the future.

I think you can see it in one of the branches of the possible future.

as bad as Google is becoming, does it need saving to survive?

ijijijjij··on Colon Cancer Is Rising in Young People: What to Know About Causes and Symptoms
who said vitamin C? NOT ME... don't put words into my mouth? it's actually not even the most common preservative that is added to our foods...

sodium benzoate might be the most common one... which they say is considered safe in small doses because they want to save money by extending shelf life.

ijijijjij··on Colon Cancer Is Rising in Young People: What to Know About Causes and Symptoms
Preservatives could probably be partly blamed, because there are basically poisons.

Also, increased antibiotics use... they kill good gut bacterias. AKA: we don't know why you are sick.. take these antibiotics for 10 days for no reason.

A dentist once prescribed me two antibiotics at once because his shitty root canal job was hurting me (and it didn't fix anything). $1000 down the drain and it created pain in my guts.

ijijijjij··on Ask HN: What is the current state of live translation?
I have seen a demo of earbuds that can do that... you could even share an earbud with the other speaker so it could translate for both (I forgot what the brand/model is though)

reddit has the worst dark pattern in this case... I think most people think they need an email address to signup... yet you can just click next and skip email input... I have about 40 reddit accounts with no emails associated with them... first one was probably created 15 years ago, and last one yesterday

At least twice a week... mostly raw fish. I tend to eat some raw beef when I eat steak, but that is pretty rare.

> The simplest solution is to get two memory sticks and copy your data to them. One stays with you, the other is in a safe-deposit box. Rotate them regularly. It's really not that much effort.

Another option is to keep a memory stick is in your car or even at work, if you keep it encrypted.
