kinda reads like an advertisement for these heat vision binoculars.

This is really great, dont tell this to anyone!

They are still releasing more parts of the Epstein files!

Take the advice of Napoleon: Never interrupt the enemy while they are making a mistake!

I am using Ubuntu 14.04LTS “Trusty Tahr”…

Wow that is ancient! Interresting feature, I wonder if it could be reimplemented as a wayland protocol, however I think some modern IDEs and some text editors have something similar nowadays.

Yes one million times! Mozilla, get on it! Or, looking at the current landscape of browsers, someone with some free time please implement it in a firefox fork :(

I for one dont see these pop ups; I just block all javascipt in websites using noScript and unblock just the absolutely necessary stuff. Doesnt work all the time, but it works well enough for me.

true, but thats a no-go for me. Who knows what that browser secretly does or what they could put in, well never know for sure…

but its closed source…

Best practice right now is Anubis, and if you want to do a little bit extra and fight against robots.txt violating bots you could set up a infinite web of garbage with links to more garbage in a hidden part of your website. Be aware that it will cost you bandwith keeping them busy.

Its been a problem for a very long time now, electric cars require large amounts of electricity to charge and that needs to be supplied through the residential grid. Higher use of electric cars means more electricity necessary. Electric cars usage is still going up and that is not likely to change soon. As for the more important part: Lots of power plants are not green, and replacing them means building more power generators. This device converts heat to (green) electricity. How could you possibly see this as a negative?

…and electric cars. And green energy.

They have since posted 2 more videos about the aptera, here is the newest one TLDW: that line of credit is not going to save them.

I used to be really exited about aptera, but as the years went by that enthusiasm waned. Their market is basically gone now, since you can get a real electric car for that price nowadays. Plus, after seeing this video from youtuber “wall street milennial” I dont think there is any hope for them left. I dont really like the essay style of that youtuber, but they cite hard, irrefutable data that paints a very clear picture that aptera is just treading water now, they dont have the funds to mass produce these cars, and no hope for further investments. Its sad really.

Its not a backdoor, because secure boot was never about safety to begin with. Its just a piece of security theater, whose primary use is more control for microsoft. “Secure” boot only boots software signed with a microsoft key, thats the “security”. Microsoft also allows linux distributions to be signed, but nothing is technically stopping them from just refusing, for " security reasons", and on some systems secure boot cant be turned off. So it being bustable is a good thing. There are other ways to protect devices from physical access, but generally, if attackers have physical access to your computer, then its compromised, secure boot or not. Framework just didnt want to play along.

The article is from a security researcher involved in the development of post-quantum encryption. Hes known for fighting against various agencies trying to weaken encryption for their questionable benefit. Hes been very successful but a one-man-show only goes so far. Please, if you read this: write those emails to the mailing list and tell others whats going on!

This (sadly) has implications across the whole world, but right now its very easy to stop.

And please, if you do write the email, please dont just copy paste the template in the article, it seems the comitee wants to ignore all the ones with the same wording because of “spam”

Yes, true, but imagine future versions of this looking more like normal glasses, and displaying information like all the managers people report to, items on the todo list concerning them, etc. Or it displays what the customer ordered, what his bill is, etc. All things you could do with your phone on a one on one basis, but with glasses you could look across the room and get the information of the specific people in that corner without having to stop and looking all of them up.

Perhaps the wow factor for knowing the first name of your business customer or voter will be greatly lessened, but referencing personal things still makes an impression, even when your memory of it has been externalised to the database in your note app.

And concerning the creepy aspect: its what our world is converging to. I feel creeped out every time I spot a surveilience camera, or every time I walk by someone making a tiktok or instagram reel or whatever. Every time someone walks by with a phone out they could be recording.

But most people dont care. All the articles about how creepy wearables with integrated cameras are is only because its still new and rare.

But yes, I agree. The current glasses are solutions looking for problems, with barely functioning features, a horrible price point and lots of drawbacks. The stuff ive described above can be done with the technology, but right now all they do is make photos, record video, and gimmick features like “AI powered” note taking and giving you poor map directions.

My guess is that the reason that you’d use something like this specific product … (is to) obtain someone’s name … it’s just not enough of a use case to warrant wearing the thing if you’ve already got a smartphone.

I dunno, if all the glasses did was quickly find out the name and short bio of the person I am talking to and display it visible to only me, then that does sound like a big market. I could see demand from managers in big firms, polititians and activists, all customer oriented roles, and meee because I keep forgetting :3

Sure. The steam version is easiest, just install steam, get the game through steam and it should just work. Heres a website that tracks compatibility with linux through proton, valve’s solution to running windows games, its installed by default when you get steam: https://www.protondb.com/app/389730

For me, the worst part is when they interrupt a video. Anything longer than 5 seconds is also a dealbreaker, often I decide that I dont need to see the video after all when multiple longer ads happen. But then again, I could never stand ads on TV either.

I think whats especially egregious about youtube ads is that they prevent you doing what you came for. On basically all other sites, ads are something in the background, something you ignore. They cannot be ignored if they play instead of a video.

Is it the Ur-Quan masters, aka Star Control II?

Ah, Telegram gets paid 300 million dollars for this action. Understandable.

I mean, yes, obviously. Still, “made in the same city” is a wierd description implying that all ram produced there has the same quality.
