The Casio app will refuse to work unless you allow it to track your location 24x7

This is the same guy who had $60,000 permanently locked in his Wise account 6 months ago, that is quite a run of bad luck. https://cloudisland.nz/@parisba/114504600921948939

If a new account has that much power to abuse the system, then your problem is not the 2FA security. They don't need to crack your account, a bad actor could just create a new account for themselves.

Why do journalists and economists never understand that it is the supply and demand of CREDIT which they need focus on.

The 'Subscriptions' link at the top left of the Youtube home page only shows the things you subscribed to, just bookmark that.

Can Waterfox load all the up-to-date Firefox extensions or it is stuck with the old plug-in system?

First they came for the British And I did not speak out Because I was not British...

Hiring lawyers, attending compliance training courses, writing software to scan for CSAM, modifying your website so that it can verify the identity and age of every poster.

You can still be fined for 'failing to comply' with the legislation even if no objectionable content has been posted. To be in compliance there is a whole list of things you need to do, some of which are expensive.

Im guessing they linked the archive so that when Lobsters is geoblocked UK users will still be able to read it.

Using numerical prefixes like the 'Johnny Decimal' system for folder organization is fine for personal files, if that floats your boat, but trying to implement it in a shared team area can be a recipe for strife. At best people will think you are slightly mad expecting them to memorise lists of numbers just to file things.

This is why I like generating passwords with a 1 way SHA-256 hash, no need for any storage or encryption and no reliance on some website service being up.

It needs to have a dark mode in the CSS.

This algorithmic filtering is almost certainly still in place, they just dialled it back from 100% ban to some lower percentage.

The only way to win against this is to close all your Meta accounts and never look back. It seems hard to do, but once you rip the plaster off it is actually quite a relief.

OLED displays can still save energy even when they are not displaying absolute black https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=34069781

It is built into the CSS standard

/* Dark mode */ @media (prefers-color-scheme: dark) { ... }

The issue with both dark and light modes is so many designers seem to have jumped onto the idea that colour schemes have to be either bright white or darkest black.

I'd much rather see colours that are 'slightly darker' at night and 'slightly lighter' in the daytime. For one thing there are still so many websites with no colour schemes setup at all so if you avoid going to extremes it minimises the contrast difference.

The whole point of a font stack is to give a prioritised selection between beautiful modern fonts that won't be available on every machine and basic standard defaults like 'sans-serif' that will.

Any clock which doesn't have a seconds display is probably not accurate to the second and is also very unlikely to have been set to the exact second. Those 2 factors together mean a good chance the time is > 30 seconds out, making the original point moot.

Thanks for the kind words, I'll be scanning this thread to see if there's anything new that I've missed.

The problem with that is everyone might vote for it repeatedly, making more and more politicians ineligible. You could end up with 10 or 20 elections in one year and you wouldn't be able to repeal the rules without a government in place.

'Watching the English' is nearly 40 years old now and a lot of things have changed. M&S is no longer hugely more expensive than other stores, for food I think Waitrose has taken its place. Also this article is veering into the idea that class is all about money, which may work in the US but is far from being true in the UK.

Surely no government would ever lie about something like that! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/False_flag

Here's the claim that I read https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=19418165

Changing all the database structures to match WP when they will not actually be running WP would not make much sense. I think they will leave all the tables exactly the same and just move them onto back-end hardware that is shared with WP. i.e. a separate database running on the same server farm. If would be nice if the press release were a bit less vague on this.

Migrating to to the "WordPress back end" is not the same as migrating to WordPress.

The back-end database of Tumblr is reportedly very simple so migrating it to whatever database running on whatever OS is probably not too hard. The chance of them migrating all the application code to use some kind of hacked about wordpress theme is absolutely zero.

The PAF file only returns a 9% profit (based on a 2009 report) https://web.archive.org/web/20090324084021/http://www.psc.go...

You have to reload the whole page.

The obvious inference from this is that the bad update was trickled out to some customers on the 16th and it took them 2 days to report the issue because they were all busy figuring out why every machine was blue-screening. Alternatively it took CrowdStrike 2 days to notice that their traffic was disappearing and put 2 and 2 together as to why.

The cost of 50AH Li-Ion batteries is getting close to the point where they may start to compete with Lead acid for gas powered cars.

This is missing any discussion of the dynamic functionality you can add with a bit of vanilla JavaScript.
