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.

"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."

Tech people, THIS IS A GREAT FANTASIC READ!!!

The title is, "DO NOT BUY HISENSE TV'S"

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

Made a dumb website so I wouldn't ever have to Google "tm symbol" again.

@autumn It’s a series of three! https://loladupre.com/archive

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

Good Morning Wednesday 👋

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.

It's ridiculous that I've got a 3D game on my site that happily runs at 120fps on normal mid-spec PCs/phones but there are news sites chugging away harder to show some text. Browsers have come so far but every improvement gets pissed away on ads & bad coding

You know the "repeat the previous text" trick to get initial chatbot prompts?

This variant sure makes it look like Bing Copilot GPT4 is leaking state between user sessions. I have never used copilot before.

OK, so someone just put Brass Against - Killing in the Name into my timeline and while it was playing my Friday dancers started doing this.

That's some dark magic going on there.

the first thing they tell you at the cyber academy is if anyone shows romantic interest in you they are a spy 😔

Have just discovered that it's now possible to buy a Covid booster in the UK.

Ignoring, for the moment, the issues in not providing them for more people via the NHS, I thought there might be others out there keen to take advantage who had also missed the news, so there's a summary of current situation here:

Thanks to @ProfLouiseL for the initial heads up & @richardloxley for the summary.
