how is Foxglove these days? I used to use it in our lab (and liked it a lot), but not since the license change
> municipalities get paid to put up the cameras I've read lots of FOIAd flock contracts, and I have yet to see any municipality get paid by flock - they pay flock per-camera. Is that just a hunch, or are there cases of towns getting money from flock?

That's on RCX. I don't know for certain about the NXT 1 or 2, but the EV3's VM is called LMS2012

LEGO Mindstorms programs run in an on-brick VM, iirc
Make sure it adds a header too
As a human recipient, how can I be sure if an email is coming from AgentMail or not?
It's a bot

edit: or a human spammer, but no difference IMO

If they release it now, no one else will pay the ransom
> All these changes have got some partners “feeling let down and misled by OpenAI,” a person familiar with Microsoft’s decision said. Thankfully, the software giant has stepped in on some of the projects that the startup has supposedly abandoned. One source told the publication that money is not unlimited, no matter what Sam Altman might say, while another said that they prefer Microsoft over OpenAI as a tenant, as “they are more creditworthy.”

Reminds me of that New Yorker Sam Altman article

Looks like my "waiting period" prediction was right

That's going to be really annoying when exporting tasker scripts as APKs for relatives

I used to love netdata, but right around dashboard v3 I switched to Prometheus+grafana

I still miss the no-fuss configuration and the anomaly detection was well done, but I just can't do the required cloud thing it does now

Lowe's has their own contract with Flock. I've seen them outside a couple of Targets too

I think so
(my older) LIFX bulbs have an Espressif MAC address, and I think LIFX has stated they're ESP32-based in the past
My guess is the 'high-friction' part is some kind of mandatory waiting period of 1 to 3 days
This post appears directly above "So, you’ve hit an age gate. What now?". The irony

I'm starting to maintain a COBOL codebase for my dad's small business. It uses MicroFocus's runtime so it runs fine on Windows 10/11 (but I'm trying to migrate it to OpenCOBOL). He helped write a good chunk of it, but doesn't make any major changes to it anymore. I'm not confident enough to make major changes to it, but I fix some bugs here and there. I ended up writing a python script to parse the database layout for a python-based fuzzy search tool, but I still stuck to a terminal UI for it.
