Would you mind sharing your setup with me or pointing me to some resources on it? My friend's wife using the Dexcom G7 and I wanted to look at some alternative's with them. I think she uses the Omnipod for a pump
While highly unprofessional, the "Who's a good boy?!" status message makes me like them a tiny bit more

I just grabbed the tagline of the article. I hadn't gone searching for the card yet and found the hack to be the more interesting topic

Re:Today is when the Amazon brain drain sent AWS down the spout on Thursday October 23, 2025 @09:52AM (#45681830)
I didn't say they fixed everything within those 14 updates. I'm pointing out it's disingenuous to say they didn't start working on the issue until start of business when there are 14 updates of what they have found and done during that time.
Sure, that timeline looks bad when you leave out the 14 updates between 12:11am PDT and 8:04am PDT.

The initial cause appears to be a a bad DNS entry that they rolled back at 2:22am PDT. They started seeing recovery with services but as reports of EC2 failures kept rolling in they found a network issue with a load balancer that was causing the issue at 8:43am.

Re:Verizon thinks $0.002 is 0.002 cents [video] on Monday August 11, 2025 @11:53AM (#44865646)
George Vaccaro was a Verizon customer who, in early December 2006, had a customer service phone call where Verizon had a legendary "math fail" as it would have been dubbed at that time. This is a viral tale from the early/modern internet age of the oughts. In the calls, the Verizon employees repeatedly fail to acknowledge the distinction between 0.002 dollars and 0.002 cents because they think "0.002 cents" is $0.002; in other words they think $0.002 is 0.002 cents simply because the 002 comes after the decimal point.

"The parable of the earring was not about the dangers of using technology that wasn't Truly Part Of You, which would indeed have been the kind of dystopianism I dislike. It was about the dangers of becoming too powerful yourself."

The Pentagon Pizza Report has been having a lot of activity the past 24 hours. Maybe just a coincidence

No, Cloudflare.

What does it say about me that I stopped reading the article to play with the progress bar down at the bottom right?... And now I'm writing this comment before finishing the article.

Re:Learning to Love Dandelions (2021) on Tuesday March 18, 2025 @04:17PM (#43404526)
iirc the Dandelions we know are are native to Eurasia and are considered invasive across the US. They were brought over by early settlers for their health benefits
Re:How good are American roads? on Wednesday November 20, 2024 @12:27PM (#42196214)
You have a good point. I live in Michigan and recently traveled down to Austin, Texas. The roads didn't seem all that much better but all of the road markings really stuck out to me. Reflectors in all the lines separating lanes, soft bollards surrounding cross walks and parking areas, extra curbs built in for bike lanes. It makes things look a lot nicer but my first thought was, "could you imagine trying to plow around those bollards, or those reflectors would get ripped up on the first pass."
Just google 'tank of the lake, what is your wisdom' and you can catch up on a new meme genre
My ego is in awe. Maybe the credit goes to the Id we found along the way.
Sorry for your ego but that came right from my brain as a joke. It wasn't until after I hit submit I paused to think, "that's actually kinda profound for a Thursday morning."
A vessel to cross the street.
Re:Hacking 700M Electronic Arts Accounts on Tuesday November 05, 2024 @01:15PM (#42053864)
Most likely they were in the process of adding this feature to fix your issue when it was sadly exploited before they could announce it
Please do not give them that idea. I still haven't gotten over Sony charging $60 a year to give you the privilege to play online with your friends.

Soon it'll cost $150/yr to play a modern console like you should be able to

Who else is mfro supposed to ask if not the guy who said they had an issue with it?
