My reading is that the employee did not know the method but only of its existence.

It probably goes deeper than you expect. A friend of mine unknowingly bought counterfeit Darn Tough socks from Amazon, and only found out when he sent them in for warranty repair. Clough42 has a video on YouTube about identifying counterfeit Mitutoyo calipers (though I believe they came from Ebay rather than Amazon).

If you read the rest of the comment you’ll find it’s about their employees rather than their clientele.

Chickens are very effective at removing ticks, but “just” getting some chickens is a little bit more work than tossing tubes outside.

Mostly no. Dead leaves that were just lying on a trailer without getting cleaned in advance and bits of decorative plants that broke off are probably the worst offenders.

I use MacOS and iOS for home home devices and Windows for work, and use Strongbox on the Apple side with KeePassXC on the Windows side and sync them using DropBox.

The obvious answer is because VNAs are heavy and the person who would otherwise have to carry it isn't the person who has to pay for a replacement.

How'd you conclude that artists are doing fine? That doesn't match my experience or observations at all.

Until a few years ago merchants were not allowed to charge credit card fees. In that case, online fees make a legally-allowable proxy for credit card surcharges.

This position sounds bonkers to me. I don’t care at all about who I sit next to on a plane but like to see concerts with friends.

I’m surprised to hear that it was such a common failure. I used plenty of lighting devices back in their hay day and plenty of USBC devices since they became common. I don’t tend to treat those devices gingerly and have far more issues with USBC than I ever did with Lightning, even accounting for the fact that lots of devices have USBC but only phones and mp3 players had lightning.

My naive fix would be to disable extensions from accessing form field data without explicit approval. Hell, add different approval boxes for read, write, and hidden-text.

What am I missing?

I think that "it's better to know" only really holds up if the scope / context is also included. To put it in concrete terms, I'd amend your statement like this:

Kagi indirectly funds the Kremlin's regime by paying for Yandex API access.

Is it OK to comment on and critique the message, though?

All they have to do is pretend to be a concerned neighbor who wants to help give mutual aid and hope that someone in the group chat takes the bait and adds them in. No further convincing is needed.

It's even easier than that. They're simply asking on neighborhood Facebook (and other services too, I assume) groups to be added to mutual aid Signal groups and hoping that somebody will add them without bothering to vet them first.

> In general, considering the overall cost of the measures, I would think that there is a valid reason and that "it does not make sense at first glance so it's just a security theater" does not hold.

What’s your sense of the overall cost of the measures? It’s not clear to me if you’re saying that high or low costs help justify them.

There's a strong argument that you should never be plugging in USB devices while driving but it's hard to argue that you shouldn't adjust the lane centering settings while in motion.

Apple Music got extremely slow for me in (atypical, granted) situations that used to be perfectly snappy. I keep recordings of a radio show in my Music library, with the whole series tagged as a single album, each "episode" as a separate disc, and each half of the episode as its own track. This makes it easy to scroll through, browsing to pick what I want to listen to. But now with 26 Music has been chugging whenever I open the album - it takes ~20 seconds before it starts responding smoothly again. I'll concede that having 1000+ discs within a single album isn't a normal use-case, but this has worked properly for the last decade before they screwed it up.

In practice they tend to substitute A with B, and B is often times even more destructive (black market fentanyl rather than medical opioids, or just inhalants).

Where can you buy just the cardboard cover?

I'm also curious about this. They're coming to Minneapolis next year, so apparently they're confident in their ability to figure out cold / unpredictable weather (in urban conditions at least).

But they're exclusively used in areas that allow both human and AI drivers, so this hardly seems relevant.

I like it. One thing I found frustrating is that I used a hint when I was stuck, and the hint just said “Impossible! Square X needs N matching neighbors.” This was obvious, why did spend a hint just for it tell me the rules of the game instead of any advice?

IMO 500 watts of sustained electrical power is a fair bit, especially compared to every other electric device these households are likely to have.

You also need a buttload of electric power, which is the bottleneck.

You could just put a backup dumb thermostat in parallel with the smart one.

What brand of pliers were they, and did they seem to be made from recycled gum wrappers?

A trick I learned when you want to flip the breaker but don't want to go all the way back to the panel is to just stick a screwdriver into a light socket.

Plenty of non-metal materials melt with heat, too. Solder is the only one relevant to the comment, which is presumably why it was the only one mentioned.

I'd prefer to have full IMAP support without needing a specialized app, otherwise Proton seems like a better choice than Zoho, which is definitely overkill for my needs.

[edit] I just found purelymail, which seems like a good fit.
