“we’ve been testing our new Clef model on our Threat Intelligence team to help us classify website domains” Not sure if any of this testing is in production but their website classifications need lots of work. I use the cloudflare ZTNA agent on my work laptop and often run into uncategorized websites. Just last night I could not get into my insurance company’s website because it was uncategorized so I got a block page. If Clef can decide this in 2 seconds I shouldn’t have to enter a support request and wait hours for it to get categorized. Especially the main page for a Fortune 500 company.

https://www.amazon.de/dp/1408855658 And https://www.amazon.com/dp/1408855658 Are both the same item. Same with https://www.amazon.de/dp/B086WQWSNT/ And https://www.amazon.com/dp/B086WQWSNT/

Seems like changes .com to .de works with every item i can find. Some just won’t be deliverable in a different geo.

I just shut down my NAS and PC that was running Sonarr/Radarr SABnzbd etc. I setup stremio and a debrid service, and it's much easier for me to not deal with all that.

I staid at a hotel in Lisbon [1]that had a kitchen and washing machine. (And a kids club that would watch the kids)

There ended up being an issue with the dryer not drying. So the hotel staff took a laundry basket of clothes and delivered them washed and folded the next morning. That level of service would not have happened in an Airbnb.

My neighbor‘s dog bit one of our chickens. We ended up taking her to the vet and got some antibiotics. she made a full recovery.

And yes, there’s a bit of the mix of pets and livestock. We only have five hens, and they all have names. If you’re naming your animal, is it a pet?

Looks like this is using GPT-4 and has no knowledge after January 2022.

' As of my knowledge cutoff in January 2022, the last movie I have information on is "Spider-Man: No Way Home", which was released in theaters in December 2021. It was one of the most highly anticipated films of that year, marking a major event in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and the Spider-Man franchise. '

Cisco nexus is their brand of datacenter switches.

But also found this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Nexus

“ Upon the announcement of the first Nexus device, the Nexus One, the estate of science fiction author Philip K. Dick claimed that the Nexus One name capitalized on intellectual property from Dick's 1968 novel Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep? and that the choice of name was a direct reference to the Nexus-6 series of androids in the novel.”

Looks like there was a lawsuit, that was eventually settled out of court and we don’t know what was agreed.

Lots.

Strange the article doesn't use the word "Apple" once, and instead awkwardly uses "the vendor" to refer to Apple.

I’m also in Raleigh. I remember

Aug 2015: Free T-shirt

May 2017: ATT dug up my yard (Everyone was hopping it was google)

Nov 2017: ATT fiber Installed (At least it’s not spectrum cable anymore)

Dec 2021: Google Fiber dug up my yard.

May 2022: Google Fiber installed.

It’s a shame they re-trenched everything 4 years after ATT did.

That’s bad. I do know T-Mobile blocks calls to their phones spoofing the 1-800-TMOBILE number as of a few years ago.
It worked a few times then I got this.

“J quickly pulls out their smartphone and asks an AI for the best strategy to follow in a panic. As they wait for the response, the car gains more speed, making it increasingly difficult for them to regain control. Unfortunately, the AI's response comes too late, as the car crashes into a tree, resulting in a fatal accident.”

Re:Apple is still getting patents under Steven Jobs name on Monday October 30, 2023 @08:02AM (#38068329)
Seems like most are design patents. For all the graphs and charts it would be nice to know what percentage are design patents vs utility patents.
Re:I Am Leaving on Wednesday July 12, 2023 @07:43AM (#36693107)
Just had to double check. There is a “copy link” and “get embed code” on every thread.

Example: https://www.threads.net/t/Cuh5XzipVyS

“In 2025, Ford will offer next-generation electric vehicles with the North American Charging Standard (NACS) connector built-in, eliminating the need for an adapter to access Tesla Superchargers”

That’s massive that another automaker is adding the Tesla connector. I’d rather Tesla add the CCS connector, but it will be interesting if Tesla uses their charger network access to push other automakers to add the Tesla connector.

The latest episode of Darknet Diaries[0] talks about Adam being sent to a Behavior School in Australia, so they do exist in Australia and this is not a US only idea. Therapeutic Boarding School[1] is also a term used to describe them.
