Seems unlikely to be a bait and switch at this point

Yes but that's different than linking a device. Moving it to a new device deactivates the old one. You can only have one primary device and you must log in with it every so often or else your account gets deleted.

I watched the battle star reboot for the first time recently and the whole cylon reveal drama really ruined it for me. It felt like they were picked for shock value rather than story consistency. The first season was great, but it fell off for me and was a struggle to care by season 4. And I gave up on caprica after an episode or two.
I found it really hard to understand how this worked at first. I feel that having a tutorial would be extremely useful, show a board, describe the problem, show picking a letter, undoing it, picking the right letter, etc.
Unfortunately linked accounts don't count as primary devices so you will always have to keep the original device active or else they'll eventually delete your account.
If you search the season, the pop up gives the name and a brief description and I was able to select the right episode based upon that.

My experience is the resin is very stiff but very brittle, but I haven't kept up with the latest resins.

I had the same thought but then I went a did a tournament and it was much as I remembered, so I think I just played tournament mode back in the day.

Reading the sample chapter at https://nostarch.com/download/samples/secret-life-of-circuit... makes me think this would be a good gift to a 10+ year old who is interested in learning about electronics.
Re:There isn't an easy exploit for this PHP vulnerability on Wednesday October 21, 2026 @10:11PM (#50190320)
It was used in a fairly popular anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex.
Intentional derailment is something that has happened which feels closer to the example then using the train itself as a weapon IMHO. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Mill for example

Once we have AGI/Consciousness wouldn't it make more sense to clone/duplicate vs raising a new one?
So what is correct?
I agree with you but our current understanding of the biological brain is pretty much an organic neural network. What's the thing that actually differentiates the two and makes a neural network not thought but our brain is? I don't know.
I would suspect that they do. My understanding is the vast number of people who commit crimes do not consider the ramifications of their actions, so there is no amount of punishment that materially changes their behavior.

I struggle with this. Growing up, I was spanked and it was highly effective at changing my behavior, but my older brother was very impulsive and he would get spanked a lot and it never seemed to chang his behavior. He settled down in his 20's after a lot of legal consequences, but I do wonder is there would have been any change for him if my parents went with a different style or if I would have turned out differently.

Yes, but the top post said "Public spaces". Private property isn't a public space.

In the case of truly public spaces, historically it's considered that other then in very specific situations (bathrooms for example) you have no expectations of privacy and can be recorded regardless of the shape of the camera.

On private spaces, which people constantly mix up with public spaces, you're absolutely correct that it is able to be restricted and can define very granularly what's acceptable. A plane is a private space. They can restrict anything they want (limited by protected class/characteristics in the US. Other countries may vary).

Home assistant is not a password management system. It's a home automation system. The fact that they added password management features into it does not change what it is. Is your email client a password management system because you enter your password into it?

It wasn't malicious but it wasn't expected.

Re:Apple ML Research: Muse Spark Open with MLX on Mac Studio on Friday October 16, 2026 @08:36PM (#50126603)
You said you were running App Tamer, and I presumed it was doing something unusual, however looking into it, it appears to be using public APIs, so it shouldn't be causing issues.

There's a lot of Macs out there. I would be surprised if that's the common experience for users, however, I fully admit that my sample size is small.

And I totally hear you on the frustration for reports these days. I set my expectations to be that it's a tally mark in some database somewhere with the hope that enough tally marks means a human looks at it, but it's so disheartening when you've spent such a large amount of money on something.

Re:I never authorized an integration that scans my secrets on Friday October 16, 2026 @06:36PM (#50125700)
Trust is hard won and easily lost. The entire reason I use Home Assistant is because I trust it to be the local, privacy focused home automation system. Things like this is a huge surprise that gives me pause to wonder what else it's doing that I wouldn't approve of. If I feel like I need to start setting up firewalls between HA and my internet to protect my privacy and data, I'm more likely to look towards alternatives and push my family members towards something else as well. This is the first time I've wondered if the project's ethics and culture matches what I expect out of the software.

Just my $0.02.

this is not my experience at all. I wonder if one of your tweaks is causing the software to get into a bad state. Likely worth reporting to Apple even if it feels like it's going into a void.
That site just opened a malware page and tried to make phone calls. I had to force kill my browser to get it to stop.
