👊🏽 Sonic.

MySpace reboot vs Spotify.

Can you imagine a Chipotle chatbot bringing down civilization? Be sad. But also, kinda funny.

Connect All The Things!

Beautiful works!

If viewed on an iPhone or iPad, you can take it into AR mode and drop the piece on a table in front of you, then walk around it. Don’t know if that works on Android.

Villain flashback backstory for the Rust movie.

Just becauase you Can doesn’t mean you Should.

The way money-laundering works, you take ill-begotten funds and somehow churn it into legal tender in ways that can’t be traced back to the source. Another angle is to create corporate entities that show loss against gains, so you can deduct and don’t have to pay taxes on your windfall profits.

In the olden days, these were physical, degrading assets. Like strip malls, real-eestate, and dodgy, money-losing businesses that somehow stuck around forever. At the end, you were stuck with physical entities you couldn’t unload.

Crypto and NFT were just digital variations of the same financial model, minus the hassle of having to manage the property.

Go big or go home. Burkas.

There’s no allowing for Unspecial Soundness.

Or where most fun knowledge resides: Unspecial Unsoundness.

Given that the infrastructure description included the DataTalks.Club website, this resulted in a full wipe of the setup for both sites, including a database with 2.5 years of records, and database snapshots that Grigorev had counted on as backups. The operator had to contact Amazon Business support, which helped restore the data within about a day.

Non-story. He let Terraform zap his production site without offsite backups. But then support restored it all back.

I’d be more alarmed that a ‘destroy’ command is reversible.

There’s a difference between ‘repairable’ and ‘upgradable.’ Most of the comments seem to conflate the two. Lenovo isn’t doing a Framework.

It’s a smart move. Differentiates them from other laptop-makers for corporate IT, who can do the parts swaps themselves. Also smart is associating the brand with iFixit and working to get a 10/10. That’ll be what sets them apart from all the others, at least for the next year or two.

Ah, pregnancy… when internal organs migrate to the arms.

Obligatory Firefly mention.

Was self-hosting gitlab or foregejo not an option?

At some point, some DIY person will come up with a way to disable these things in their presence.

And they will make bank.

MCPs could learn a thing or two from the failures of ActiveX.

Will they?

No…

Web4? Seriously?

When we lived in a big city, we would hit the occasional Costco sale, then go out and hand out blankets, tents, tarps, water, socks, and warm clothing. Also, toys and school supplies.

In a smaller city, donations to the local food and housing groups, school fundraisers to help cover costs for books and supplies for those who can’t afford it, and refilling the neighborhood open-access fridge.

Basic responsibility to pay it forward.
