We have both an AutoCAD subscription and a perpetual license for the 2010 version. We couldn't install the 2010 version anymore because they shut down their activation server.

I like the initiative, hopefully your data quality will improve:

Country: NL | The Netherlands

European Union: false

Time Zone: Europe/Amsterdam

Calling Code: +0

Currency: Unknown

Looks cool. Which 14 services does the free account support? In the video I see SMS, Slack, Notion, Gmail, Google Sheets/Meet/Docs/Calendar/Drive, Salesforce, Hubspot, GitHub. I think Salesforce and Hubspot are in the $25/month subscription?

I would appreciate 'whenever I post on X or Mastodon add this to a sheet and put text and URL in its own column'

I actually did. The previous owner could not open it because the front panel got disconnected from the electronics at the inside and he didn't bother to look further.
During a boy scouts summer camp, we were on a separated camping area near a railroad track. We created a fireplace and used some stones from the track to build the fire on.

A pretty big mistake as it turned out. Because the stones were in fact vulcanic, they exploded when heated - so we were bombarded with stone fragments.

This makes me think of https://www.bardeen.ai/ but maybe more capable of finding out what to do by itself.
If you look up a product in the AliExpress app and copy the link, this is what you get. It does not give you any commission unfortunately. So it's not an affiliate link.

It is said that the core services will stop working. Google Photos, YouTube and purchases/subscriptions are not considered as core services.

If you use some of Cloudflare's public DNS resolvers (1.1.1.2 or 1.1.1.3), you may find you can't download PuTTY at the moment. The server that hosts the release files, the.earth.li, has been blocked since at least 22 May. We don't know why; Cloudflare's own categorisation of the site does not currently include any "security threat" tags.

Thanks for the ‘friendly’ tip!

Facebook sends cease and desist letters to 'wrapper app' developers like Simple

As explained on Reddit, several app developers like Simple and Swipe have received letters from Facebook attorneys forcing them to remove their apps from the Play Store. This has been discussed on Reddit, although the complete text of the letter seems to have been removed as well.Although I can expect replies like 'do not use Facebook' I still think this is a sad...

Re:Spamcop.net – This Domain Name Has Expired on Sunday January 31, 2021 @03:41PM (#25982372)
According to Julian Haight, someone might have forgotten to renew the domain, and that has been fixed now. The website isn’t online yet but no doubt they are working on that.

You could still run docker on the x86 models and host one of the solutions mentioned here.

btrfs works fine in Synology's implementation. Please keep in mind that RAID is not a backup. You can backup to a cloud service or to a friend's house with its own Synology.

Does PhotoSync keep the GPS/location data when downloading from Google Photos? Their website is not very specific and slightly outdated (Picasa login anyone?)

I would be happy to pay up if I could be sure that my account is safe at Google. I am mentioning this because of multiple reports of people who saw their account being closed because of an unnamed TOS violation, and no way to get it back.

The people working at Google might not be able/allowed to comment on this, although I would appreciate their view on this issue.

Re:Ask HN: What RSS Reader do you use? on Friday October 02, 2020 @09:43AM (#24662498)
It already has that feature.
I tried to find a source for these concerns. Although I can find documentation on DDC (until 1998) and EDDC (since 1999), and indeed read that these often use EEPROM, I cannot find any reference of someone who broke his monitor by changing the brightness too often. This utility is very useful combined with the adaptive brightness of my iMac so I am tempted to use it. But I would appreciate any supporting evidence of this concern.
Nice idea. The clocks are one hour off here: the text says 00:55 but the clock shows 11:55 pm, and so on.
