I find below article to be a cool explanation of that device, while actually showing shape Bosch uses in that logo.

But yeah, it's magneto ignition device, pre-sparkplug.

> Really? Its standard point and click engineer stuff.

Really. UI is easy. CLI is easy. But system exposes everything to you. It doesn't hide any complexity. So you need to actually know what you are doing, as happily clicking randomly won't produce any reasonable result.

> Ok so just a hobbyist perspective.

No need to diminish those experiences. That's how most of us got into the job. And enterprise experience ain't exactly a guarantee of wide knowledge.

Is there anything here that suggests that? You are jumping to conclusions easily.

It's nowadays the default not to export any credentials when exporting MT configs, and even doing that yourself is trivial. Since the equipment is pretty packed with functionality and very flexible, benefits of LLM assistance is big.

As for "sending network configurations" it's a risk everyone needs to consider individually. Having that private may make attackers job harder, but security by obscurity ain't no replacement for a secure setup.

and "(with the right to sublicense)"

If my company presented such user agreement I would be quickly reported by users to local Office of Competition and Consumer Protection, audited, fined, and ordered to change that.

I think this would be even challenged at the level of "Abusive clauses registry" that office maintains, so the agreement would be quickly overruled in court.

If no specific clause would be challenged, this is an example of "grossly violates the consumer's interests" rule.

How is big tech allowed to push this shit anywhere? How is this legal in civilized world?

You still pay for it to the company that has decades of hostile practices towards their clients. Their mechanisms are so bad that they even disable valid original cartridges sometimes, good luck with getting that refunded.

But maybe I'm emotional, as that company has been taking premium for a broken experience of so many people I know. I didn't expect such project going for their equipment.

It's a crutch, anyway. The only way to have predictable results when streaming is to have an environment with only things safe to stream. Same rule like with environment variables, home directories, ai agents or whatever...

I have shown "wrong" things, like a password, a few times too many, even before streaming was a thing.

Ain't Violentmonkey or Greasemonkey a safer bet nowadays?

Which is hard to get to, doesn't even render on some apps at all, it's easier to automatically or manually moderate as it has a more defined purpose and it's pure text (not meant for personal feelings towards the place, not meant for rating etc).

Absolutely, can be abused. But there can be thousands of reviews of a pizza place, with text, surprising languages, slang, pictures... But only one description.

> what's an extra field?

That is not a flag "is the crossing wheelchair accessible?".

It's user created picture or text. This can be any kind of content, abusive, regulated by law, spam, subjective for chat control "age verification" controls, copyrighted and so on.

Moderation is a hard topic. Only very small communities can do that well.

I strongly disagree. Open maps don't have to compete in this space and it would make them worse.

Yes, that is something google maps excels in. Absolutely. But trying to compete here would mean they have to shift into being a social media and their biggest effort would be content moderation.

There are some intermediate options here. Osmand integrates Mapilary images (I'm not a fan personally), they have travel guides built in (they became usable now, even small cities have decent descriptions where I live) and tiny things like that.

On the other hand, OSM-based tools are crushing commercial maps in... being a map ;)

Make sense. But at the same time sounds like another way to support the biggest predator in that space, no?

It breaks. So you fix it and go back to previous mode.

I'm not sure what's here to talk about. Things break. We don't have to overthink this. But if you want more predictability, stable distros exist.

> Send it by printed post

that's how one of my local companies tries to force clients in. They removed auth code from their web panels and introduced complex snail-mail procedure.

That was clear signal to run, but it took me 6 months to do just the domain transfer.

HR market is basically an early google rigging era, where you can place hundreds of keywords at the footer (white text on white background) to start popping up on random searches.

So basically forcing particular deepseek provider should make cache introduce another huge savings bump?

Count me in, I'll be testing that. Thank you!

v4 flash was really, really good in practice for me. While on openrouter it's around 1/100th of what the "SOTA" models cost.

But billions? A bit exaggerated.

> But it's not like a DDOS attack where Alibaba is trying to attack Anthropics servers. Alibaba is simply doing exactly what Anthropic did to the rest of the internet, just targeting Anthropic and paying them to do so.

Thank you, this is exactly the meritum here.

We faced a mass scale service abuse and licensed intellectual property theft, but we are supposed to defend it because "some of it was not stolen!!1!1"? It is progress, it is amazing, it also is harmful in many ways and pure greed.

True, I may have generalized too much.

I did lived through that era. Outside of people actually working for those companies barely anyone known. For many of us (not working for US dotcoms and other big fish) this was a curiosity we learned fairly recently. Especially on "local" media, papers and socials, this discussion was completely missing. Even today.

But now any AI brawl is almost mainstream.

Still calling it an "attack" feels like a stretch.

They literally had to pay for that "attack", no matter how many accounts they used.

Google was killing many websites for decades with their crawlers. Most large websites decided to create dedicated infrastructure for their traffic alone. Somehow they didn't participate in that cost and were not called the attackers.

> Not really because nearly every adult has a phone with unlimited calling, and will allow you to make a call from their phone.

that's not even true for adults. Why would you assume it's true for kids?

There are more angles on this, not exactly easy. The easiest way to make a kid to do something, is to forbid that very thing.

If you are the one cutting it off, while your kid's whole school is very much up to date with latest brainrot content, then you still lose.

Your kid is the outcast, while it will be exposed to it anyway, through peers. Meanwhile you are the bad one, making it much harder to have an actual conversation on the topic.

I am vividly interested in this, as my kid is growing up. I hear how a bit older kids play and what they talk about on the playground and feel that I have very little time left to react (kid is still just now starting to show interest in phones and such). A ban on all social media for kids would make this so much easier.

> now they claim they have a linux distro?

They have had a linux distro for a while, this one is at least 6 years old. They used it for container workloads, including those visible to client like AKS.

It seems with 4 they are using Fedora underneath.

So? You can do whatever internal structure you want. Who cares.

You still have to do the same job, just now with team who is less qualified to do that. But if you guys are all happy about that, you do you.

Maybe should be rephrased, but still makes sense to me. They use inferior tech for a premium price.

But yeah, not really their unique problem. Just cheaper solution that is out there.

They are sonosing it. Their online-first shift is them doing the same thing that Sonos pulled.

Which degraded their hardware usability so much, that it's literally much worse than a decade ago. Even basic functions like choosing which speaker should play or ... what content to play does not work properly.

Just another company to avoid by now.

BitChat, Briar, yeah. But BT is way less capable in range. You can communicate across two hotel rooms at best. Maybe across the same bar, or empty outdoor space within small visual range. Can be useful, but often you will be able to just shout, instead.

With Meshtastic/Meshcore you are open to scenarios like "a repeater on a boat, large group scattered across large marina, nearby town and hiking areas". Or "bigger family skiing in a large resort". You can get insane distances with great reliability if you place a node strategically on the highest point around. And it costs around $100 to buy an (off the shelf) solar node that can run close to 24/7. Some folks out there have amazing use cases in the mountains.

> something that gives actual network use between devices make more sense

There are plenty of Meshcore/Meshtastic independent devices. With keyboards or touch controls and all.

> And those living "inbetween" typically have no money or time for things like mesh, they are struggling with simplier things.

It's just a personal opinion, but I really think this is not the case in reality.

Those guys in the middle of nowhere are the biggest geeks in LoRa networks. They have more practical scenarios, more to gain and better conditions for great distances.

A friend of mine lives far away from me, barely populated area, a big city in between of us. He struggled to get any network traffic, but now he uses narrow antennas to point to particular repeaters and suddenly the whole metropolis is open to him. We talk with acceptable delivery rates (I'm guessing 70%, which is actually very decent in dense area like mine). He is currently trying to expand his local network. His neighbors are less technical, but they have frequent power failures and need alternative way to reach each other.

On the other hand there is A LOT of client nodes and repeaters in my city. Many struggle to reach even a single repeater - hard to access roofs, high buildings, crowded network with plenty of conflicts. This kills motivation for many.

It's a natural direction to hop from Meshtastic to Meshcore.io as the community grows.

They are implemented a bit differently. The chatty nature of Meshtastic works very well in small groups, or unknown area, when you need to talk a bunch of your friends scattered during a trip, to monitor your tracktors on a large field, etc..

Then you try to scale it to a larger city and it just completely breaks. Then Meshcore.io enters the picture. Every larger community that switches says the same - it's a huge reliability difference. It also comes at a cost of some discipline and more infrastructure planning (repeater nodes).

The more I play with both the more I respect both projects.

As for Reticulum, I don't see it competing in the same category at all. It has much higher aspirations, but also it seems at the moment it's much less practical and popular.

> What is/was Copilot on mobile and on XBox?

I'd love to explain!

On xbox mobile app you now have a copilot section. It's a chat. If you ask it for current price of something in the store, it will find outdated results from other stores on the internet. That's assuming the "send" button will work, mine often doesn't (it depends on keyboard you use somehow). But app will crash anyway so who cares.

Thank you for your attention.

There is no such thing as ms office any more. Please don't speak of him.

But also please don't try to find the new one with our search bar. Really, please don't.
