I had seen this phone, I did not realize that it was $2900...

This is like trying to read text on the side of a match stick.

the thing that makes them unreliable is lack of use. when you leave some gas in there for 6 months because you never travel farther than the grocery store, when you actually use the engine it goes and sucks up a bunch of trash expired gas.

I only realized they weren't a bot when i went to look at the other comment history.

same as you. wake up, go to work, waste your day on hackernews, collect a big fat pay check, take a 2 week vacation to Disney world with the stacks your bringing in.

That was fast.

If you steal someones phone on the subway its not going to be BFU.

Most laptops back then were filled with tons of screws.

There are A LOT of throwaways talking about repossessing cars in this comment. that's a little weird. Guess I struck a nerve at some company.

I think its funny you think youve come up with some unscannable license plate.

except its click "apply now" and then re-input all your information in 3 different ways.

The real question is why do they only sell information to services designed to cause harm.

I didn't see the article mentioning how banks forced people to use ATMs or apps instead of tellers by having "green" accounts. where you would get a monthly account fee waved if you didn't go in to a branch.

My understanding is that most people want to stop switching, but its split on which side to stay on.

If you don't protect your trademarks you lose them. Could be worse, if this was Nintendo there'd be a hit squad out.

why stop at 2 weeks. why not ask for 2 months and 50g. and 3 usb c ports. all with full functionality. you might want to connect two monitors to your phone after all.

didn't stop you before but stopping you now real good sounds like. So, WhY dOnT YoU jUsT iNsTaLl It AnYwAy?

Ive wanted to know this for a long time. Why isn't there some package I can download to a raspberry pi with a camera, and contribute to a public website that shows things like, oh I don't know real time positions of government vehicles...

People out there are probably vibecoding their username / passwords for websites. Don't under estimate dumb people.

Should I be getting more than .2 FPS?

Thanks for contributing to our increasing lack of security and anonymity.

Unless its quartz glass or something wouldn't it be blocking pretty much all of the UVC?

For Opensauce '24 I modified a Leclerc Dorothy Table Loom to be a Jaquard. With exception of some bearings and rods it was entirely 3D printed. It could run real punch cards (that I cheated and used a laser cutter to make, I wasn't building a second machine to punch the cards. Although that machine is super cool on it's own.) I had found a book that detailed extremely well the mechanisms used in the machine. It surprisingly worked very well with not terribly much trial and error. Even surviving being in my luggage from Maryland to SF. A surprising number of people were super excited to get to see one up close and really see how they had operated. So many people came up to tell me they had been to so and so museum where they had one, but it was a giant machine you couldn't really look at up close.

Currently I'm down the rabbit hole of leavers lace machines, they make Jaquard looms look like child's toys. But they were much less common, and I don't think any exist in the united states. If anyone has any leads or information on someone that works on or with or near or has heard of one of these machines please let me know.

Id be willing to bet the number of people who sign up for ebilling, then screw up their email address is huge. then those people blame the bank for not contacting them to tell them the issue.

yes, its not how email is supposed to work. but people can be really really stupid.

They must have collected enough bio-metric data, or deemed hand prints to be not useful.

Wow, that scrolling banner...

I don't want a Chromebook with extra steps I want a real computer.

I couldn't make an account on the website Digikey outsourced all their 3d models to with my work email. signed up with my personal gmail account in less than 30 seconds.

This is not some Apple specific problem.

Also this was yesterday. Never did I get any of the 3 confirmation emails they claim they sent to my work mail.

basically every farmer.

Oh? Do tell how to retrieve those insecure keys. I have an old laptop I would love to get access to again.
