My million dollar idea I want someone to steal and do, so I can be a customer.

"Dumb Stuff" we sell electronic appliances that aren't Internet connected. That's all.

That's it. That's the pitch. I would buy the <bleep> out of this company if their electronic gadgets were even half way decent, and repairable.

Electronic, no wifi, regular screws to open it up. That's it. Do those three things, and you can be sold by this store.

I will pay this business to curate and find these devices for me.

Devs sometimes talk about being "close to the metal" but there is no other software engineering team in the world right now that are simultaneously working as close to and as far away from the metal as the people keeping Voyager working.

@mattround @secretrobot I've been working for a company that hosted the helldesk for my home ISP, and only managed to bypass the idiocy-filter by phoning from inside the company and requesting they look up my employee id and team (networks) so please accept that I have done the bare level of diagnosis and move on to the actual problem, which was a DNS server of the ISP being fubar.
Surprisingly it worked. though they did ask if I'd hacked it to provide that info :'(
(nslookup and traceroute ...)

@hypnogoria iirc the top cover picture was a line-drawing a couple of chapters after Grendel's Dam

"I deleted keys generated by our TV for 5 straight minutes. 5 Minutes of like 200BPM clicking. I restarted. Everything worked again. I laughed so hard I cried. I felt like I'd solved a murder."

and you may find yourself connected to a wifi network
and you may find yourself geolocated in another part of the world
and you may not recognize the wifi network name
and you may ask yourself, well, who gave me the wifi password

@nclm @autumn @foone I don't know why my first thought on this was "uh oh, Foonery happening" but it still looks like the kind of thing they'd have a good go at :)

All of YouTube is destined to become lost media when Google loses interest or viewers move onto something else. All these channels that you love now will only exist on the creators hard drives and you'll never be able to see them again

Saw someone refer to the Cybertruck as an incEl Camino and, yup, that's what it's called now.

POV: You made the mistake of trying to track a package in 2024

We have laws that say companies have to disclose a breach when it involves the theft or disclosure of certain information. But AFAICT none of those laws say companies have to disclose the issue on their homepage somewhere. Even with breaches that are going to require all of the victim's customers to do IT gymnastics for several days to mitigate the threat.

Day 5 of Sisense's epic ownage and still crickets about the issue on their homepage.
