Our nearest Pizza Hut delivers via Doordash whether you order direct or through DD, but if you order direct its 30% cheaper. I'm not sure who's eating the markup.

Good to know. Thanks for the breakdown.

28 is a perfect number of years to shut down after.

I'll see myself out.

It's known as the 27 club.

ID Verification Service for TikTok, Uber, X Exposed Driver Licenses ( www.404media.co )

A company that verifies the identities of TikTok, Uber, and X users, sometimes by processing photographs of their faces and pictures of their drivers’ licenses, exposed a set of administrative credentials online for more than a year potentially allowing hackers to access that sensitive data, according to screenshots and data...

I recognized the name AU10TIX, because I half-joked on Lemmy about a potential mass doxxing of Xitter's most vile users back in September when they announced the partnership. I assumed they'd be a target for ransomware/hackers, not that they'd just leave their admin creds out in the open.

I took an Oxygen Not Included (pre Spaced Out) colony to 5000 cycles with almost no time warp. It was still going strong too, I just wanted to switch to the new (at the time) DLC.

Usenet's is having a minor resurgence, we could be trendsetters.

What do you think the Great Filter is?

The Great Filter is the idea that, in the development of life from the earliest stages of abiogenesis to reaching the highest levels of development on the Kardashev scale, there is a barrier to development that makes detectable extraterrestrial life exceedingly rare. The Great Filter is one possible resolution of the Fermi...

The way the news has been going I wouldn't be surprised if plastic is a candidate. After a little less than a century of rapid development in petrol-plastics we're starting to figure out the long term effects. But the next 1000 generations may be dealing with the fallout.

If memory serves, 2010 ignited Jupiter by crashing Saturn into it. But you'd actually need about 250 Saturns (or 85 Jupiters) worth of hydrogen to get the job done. A lot of the moons would be within that new super gas giant's roche limit even before fusion began.

There's something worse, but only the UK was fully steeped in its horror.

I opened that in a private window so my google account wouldn't get sullied by its eldritch horror.

Hey now! They're also the world's foremost bloatware packager. No one will ever take that away from them.

I haven't noticed this. I'll keep my eyes peeled though. We're both on tchncs so if it's a replication thing we should both see it.

I use Alexandrite as my frontend if it turns out that it matters.

We adopted a cat recently who loves being held tight, having belly rubs, and having his paws touched. He doesn't even mind having his claws trimmed. So delightfully weird.

My cat usually decides this mid-meeting. He likes watching the Teams gallery view.

Because I hadn't had my coffee yet.

I'll fix it and make one with Tim Cook on my lunch break.

When I first came over I made a Kbin account, which should still exist. Otherwise none.

Why do you need a Reddit account? Deleted mine, noticed no difference.

I found I can wiggle my ears enough to walk my glasses back up my nose when they've slipped down.

If I press on the corners of my eye it forces air down my naso-lacrimal duct (that lets tears drain into our sinuses) and it makes a squeak loud enough for people sitting next to be to hear. I have a built in nose flute.

I follow one of the year progress bots on mastodon, and it's proven to be a minor existential crisis machine.

I haven't been (to PDX) since before the pandemic. Powell's is an excellent reason to change that.

Those are protocols, so the servers/services that run than can come and go. XMPP, which was at least inspired by ICQ, will probably be around forever, similarly.

For some reason short strings of digits have always stuck really well in my memory. I still remember my high school locker combos and every phone number I've ever had.

Can the Twitter LLM explain the process?

I'm still working on question one too. It seems like a microphone array is the best option but a lot of them seem over built for the task.

I'm in the process of this now too. The only need that I can't figure out within home-assistant assist, is unit conversions. Converting measurements when cooking is one of the main things we use the Alexa for these days.

Bishma ,
@Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

I don't mind building the stuff when I'm in the mood. When Logitech decided to shut down the Harmony remote line I wrote my own version of a Hub into Home Assistant It was fun and it works better.

But now I'm tech support for it and if it breaks down I have to work on it whether I want to or not. It's put me off wanting to build more stuff from scratch.

As far as availability goes, Microsoft says that Recall is still undergoing testing. "Recall is currently in preview status," Microsoft says on its website. "During this phase, we will collect customer feedback, develop more controls for enterprise customers to manage and govern Recall data, and improve the overall experience for users."

That cat distribution system succeeds again. Congrats!

@Bishma@discuss.tchncs.de avatar

But they specifically said in their blog post that it has "privacy you can trust." Just imagine all the trust you have in Microsoft plus all the trust you have in the accuracy of AI and rest easy. Plus the AI runs locally so they can trust you to pay the power bill.

Don't think about how much money they could make with their business customers, based on telemetry alone.

I can hear the game launchers laughing. If EA doesn't have a native version of their app out, that should be every reviewers first test.

The Brennan monorail rides again!

Some of this technology may sound a bit "over-ambitious," but keep in mind the project was inspired by a fully functional self-balancing monorail that mechanical engineer Louis Brennan designed and demonstrated back in the early 1900s.
