Re:How to Measure CO2 with a Low-Cost Sensor and a Raspberry Pi on Friday September 27, 2019 @10:42PM (#21098059)
The research has been done by the weed growing community. I don't know any professional growers using sensors outside of the American Scientific as the cheap ones are inaccurate and failure prone.

Except we've significantly cracked down on bomb trains and some states are working on banning crude transport by rail altogether

It's not an app that can be awakened by a push notification.
Re:Looking Back at the Snowden Revelations on Friday September 27, 2019 @10:32PM (#21098011)
No it's not, setting up proper push notifications (Google/Apple) with XMPP is a nightmare and the XEP is not well supported anyway

Bought back by the original team, if I recall correctly

Dedup was rushed and the original developers admit it. They ask you to please not use it unless you absolutely know what you're doing

If you think GMail is pain free you'd be even more pleased with Fastmail. I simply cannot self host my mail/contacts/calendar because nothing that exists -- free or not -- can compete with the usability and available power user features of Fastmail.

You are not going to get an accurate CO2 sensor for $27. You're being misled into buying cheap Chinese crap.

An accurate CO2 sensor is much more expensive. I would not trust the readings of the sensor in this blog. It's going to be off by over 100ppm, especially if there's a lack of good airflow.

vBulletin is probably hundreds of thousands of lines of code. Nobody has time to "read the code" before installing it.

Because the UI/UX is terrible, and XMPP is not mobile friendly at all

If you can read your WhatsApp messages on your phone and you don't control the WhatsApp binary... then Facebook can backdoor WhatsApp to read the decrypted message.

Looks like some situations AVID requires SIP disabled for external video cards?

So dumb. Why do companies pull this crap instead of fixing their issues with the vendor instead of leaving their users vulnerable

There was a comment that AVID may need SIP disabled for some video cards, which left this open for Chrome to do
Re:The Saudis Are Lying About Their Oil Production? on Tuesday September 24, 2019 @06:20PM (#21065235)
And this large amount of oil production the USA is sitting on is light sweet crude, needed for gasoline? Same grade as Abqaid? And we have the infrastructure required to transport it?

(Hint: we don't. It's estimated it would take us minimum of 2 years to complete the required infrastructure build out)

Not possible with SIP. The OS files are read only. Not even root can change them.
How is this possible with SIP in modern MacOS?

Did they turn SIP off?

Social responsibility over profit is not legal in the USA. Fiduciary duty, EBay v Newmark
Federalizing means all Americans are voting shareholders but the goal isn't to make a profit.

There are lots of situations where I think that is preferred, but people won't look at it this way because of socialism/communism scare.

Safari is aggressively attacking the tracking problem as a code browser feature, and the as blocking capabilities are sufficient for blocking all the ads you need blocked anyway. It just can't do all the other page optimization / CSS stuff to strip out elements completely, so you might have some empty divs or whatever; who cares

Yes this site posts some wild stuff. It gets a lot of circulation in the Tesla communities

Re:When TCP sockets refuse to die on Friday September 20, 2019 @02:50PM (#21029981)
There is only one mention of "Linux" in the entire article and that's because of a link to some code that is being referenced. Without that link you'd never know what OS or TCP/IP stack they're talking about.

Correct, but it won't stop someone from killing the backend/origin server if it is known.
Re:Tesla earns its first-ever safety award from IIHS for Model 3 on Thursday September 19, 2019 @02:27PM (#21019053)
Nearby someone recently died in an accident at an intersection where the speeds don't exceed 30mph. It wasn't head on.

If we can stop these kinds of deaths, we've made incredible progress.

Re:Amazon orders 100K electric delivery trucks from Rivian on Thursday September 19, 2019 @02:23PM (#21019019)
It costs 6kW to refine a single gallon of gasoline. We can shift our energy away from the refineries as their demand tapers off.
