I use my ISP's default DNS servers and have consistently gotten the CAPTCHA page for weeks now. The CAPTCHA seems to be broken too, rendering archive.today entirely inaccessible.

An Apple TV or HomePod mini, if you want to stay within the Apple ecosystem…

Electricity contracts with 1-hour pricing are already pretty popular at least in Finland, even for consumers. I myself have one.

Plus large parts of Europe are currently transitioning to more granular 15-minute pricing: https://www.nordpoolgroup.com/en/trading/transition-to-15-mi...

You can still get fixed tariff electricity contracts but you'll end up paying a bit extra in return for greater predictability…

Slower and broken more often, a winning combination!

Anker is very bad at handling country/region redirects correctly. If you're not located in the region the link is pointing at, they'll just redirect you to the home page of whatever region they think you should be looking at.

This is really annoying when trying to find product information because, for example, the Anker Nordics site doesn't have product pages for all the products they sell in Europe, but they won't let you look at product pages from other regions without some VPN shenanigans.

The fundamental problem with deliveries is that you, as the recipient, are not the customer.

The merchant pays for thousands of deliveries, but you on the receiving end are at best getting a handful.

So the courier is incentivised to offer the best rates to the merchant while completely ignoring the requirements or preferences of the recipient.

Your only recourse is to complain to the shop, who might do something if the volume of complaints is high enough, but most likely they’ll just pass the buck to the courier…

I haven't used one myself, but I believe that something like a Blackmagic ATEM Mini should be able to do that (and much more).

I've found that Send to Kindle does a much worse job at converting to MOBI than Calibre, which is a bit ironic but on par with Amazon's overall treatment of non-Kindle books.

Lying about testimonials is worse than no testimonials.

FWIW, the quotes may be real but the photos not. Either way dishonesty is not a good way to start a business relationship…

Pretty cool that all three of your customers[0] have also tried their hand at modeling!

It's the same in Finland. There was a big blow up about it a few months ago when someone's Twitter thread[1] about it blew up online and, eventually, in the local media[2].

The drivers are given utterly unrealistic quotas and there's appears to be little incentive for packages to actually get delivered. There's also no way for a consumer to escalate delivery issues to anyone who'd actually be empowered to fix mistakes.

I was pretty surprised to learn that my 2021 OLED TV only has a 10/100 ethernet port. Apparently previous models had USB 3.0 ports so you could workaround it by adding a USB gigabit ethernet adapter but in newer models they've reverted back to USB 2.0 ports, for whatever reason.

Even a $7 AmazonBasics HDMI cable has Ethernet support (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B014I8SSD0), not that this really matters since hardly any devices ever supported Ethernet over HDMI.

Also, Ethernet over HDMI is limited to 100 Mbit/s which would make it slower than most modern Wi-Fi networks (leaving aside any possible reliability issues).

Ah yes, the Ident-i-Eeze card from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy…

I tried out Edge for about 15 minutes but had to bail because of the amount of Bing and MSN nonsense embedded in the browser…

There are some other confusing ones as well.

nature.com is marked as Chinese, as are nginx.org and ntp.org.

example.com is Indian in the list as is the now defunct dmoz.org.

I don't understand the methodology behind the country assignments at all…

They’ll cancel it over email if you’re insistent enough, or at least they did for me.

Seems that you can at least buy a Quantum SA.45s Chip Scale Atomic Clock for a mere $928:

I've looked at Heap before but the lack of pricing between free and “custom” has turned me off trying it.

Really hard to recommend it to anyone else either since there's no information about what it would end up costing (assuming that adding the Heap badge is out of the question).

I bought myself an Ubiquiti Security Gateway and the AC Pro access point. Works really well and the total cost wasn't all that much more than, for example, an Airport Extreme…

Adafruit sells the MCP9808 (±0.25°C), not quite 0.1°C but closer… https://www.adafruit.com/product/1782

Google also supports U2F

Seems that the server is sending an incomplete chain: https://www.ssllabs.com/ssltest/analyze.html?d=hubl.in (“This server's certificate chain is incomplete”)

Nothing since then. I moved on and aren't inclined to go back to CloudFlare.

I tried using CloudFlare for my site, but they (or their CA partner) wouldn't issue a certificate for my domain (piranhas.co) because it contains the substring “iran”. Seriously[0].

I've been through the training for airport security officers (not in the US, though) and that's one of the techniques they taught us. Also most baggage locks are ridiculously easy to pick with basic tools (literally a 15-30 minute lesson) even if you don't have the master keys available.
