If you purchased have a Hardware Version 3 in either a 3 or a Y, FSD does not exist in Australia.

Those customers wanted a Cybertruck

They hold a 0.74% share of the global search engine market (1.75% in the US), so even if they earn revenue solely through advertising or affiliate income, Duckduckgo will produce substantial $$$.

> and PII?

Feel free to email me if that is actually the case. I can't see anything that would confirm that.

Edit: I have dug into it. No credential/secret/email leak... the complaint as "leaking PII" is not really substantiated in the dangerous sense. The only real exposure is real first+ (optional) last names (already public-by-design inside the app) being readable by unauthenticated callers. I will let him think through the implications of that instead of helicopter parenting.

My kid (with a little help from Claude) ended up creating his own social network just to get around the bans. The name of his network makes his opinion of the bans pretty clear. For his birthday, all he wanted was his domain name and and "merch pens" printed with the domain on it. I suppose I'm proud!

Have you done a blog or YouTube about this ?

Old accounts can suffer takeovers too!

This really isn’t the case with frontier models in 2026.

I’ve found (sadly) that every time I thought the model was hallucinating, I was in fact the one who was mistaken.

Was it actually an Amazon bot IP[1] or someone pretending to be on AWS?

It is not just Amazon (although they're #4 on my list of bad actors)[1].

Google tried to kill RSS, but it is not dead, in fact it is still a huge part of the Open Web Initiative. There is no performance hit or real resource cost in supporting RSS. If big platforms like Shopify can do it, we can support RSS feeds (and more) too! I've recently added RSS and other alternative representations to our Rails based ecom store[1] and rails makes it super easy[1a].

If you're using Rails it is basically free to add RSS feeds w/ the 'feed' or 'rss' gems[2]. Because of this we provide RSS feeds for everything, including customer orders and their tracking.

If you want to support the Open Web Initiative[3], I'd also encourage you to support alternative representations[4] of your content (markdown, CSVs, etc), add support for ActivityPub / Fediverse directly and webhooks to your site/app.

Stay open!

Yeah they are pretty loose w/ Castle. It is a case of "mi casa" not always "tu casa" [1].

I found MacWhisper to be great. I built and used my own solution for a couple of years before settling on MacWhisper.

I’ve also encountered some bugs. While debugging, I found that many stem from Apple’s platform itself (not MacWhisper) particularly around Metal and arbitrary object resource limits.

I can always feel hte MacWhisper bugs about to come on when you start to see little glitches like document icon previews in the Dock not rendering or screenshot utility not rendering the screenshot preview, brief flashes of magenta or green when resizing windows.

This seems like a wonderful way to get folk's private info. What's next, a Google Form offering to download your Gmail?

It really was Mac OS X's Vista moment.

Edit: It'll always be Mac OS X to me, not macOS.

No black bar? I guess Om was before the mods' time.

If they have halflife 2 in the browser, I wonder if this means they can do original CS in the browser too!

There are generally lower-cost alternatives for sourcing the third-party products they carry. Their first-party products are usually more expensive, but they're of higher quality than the competition and come with better documentation and guides.

The guardrails are pretty tight. It is even refusing to decode morse code: https://x.com/Schappi/status/2064839631137546503?s=20

You'd have to imagine that the 500+ Kit's cost of goods is impacted twice, first on memory and again on solid state storage.

The US has a plethora of alternative authorised resellers who are lower priced:

https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/raspberry-pi-5/#:~:text...

Microcenter (another official US reseller) sells the Pi5 16GB at a much lower price[1].

Are Raspberry Pis (UK country of origin) exempt from the 10% baseline import tariff?

The memory price rises are flattening. Prices are still increasing but not at the rate they previously were last year.

Raspberry Pi’s keep selling because the software ecosystem is solid.

Some folks might have missed that memory prices on the whole are up [1] 90% since Q4.

The memory used by the Pi 5 is up 700% [2]!

Raspberry Pi are working the issue by releasing new memory variants that are cheaper[2].

Edit: You can still walk into a Microcenter and get Pi 5 16GB for US $289!

2. https://www.raspberrypi.com/news/a-new-3gb-raspberry-pi-4-fo...

Two things to note:

1) Apple had long term contracts for memory which will run out. Afterwards it will be very interesting to see what they do.

2) RPi uses older memory that is much much more expensive to buy in the market as manufacturers have dedicated capacity to newer formats used by AI boxes for KV caches

This is because on a COGs basis it is memory with a side of compute.

I had the same thought.
