12·1 month agoSolving a non-existent problem. Excellent!

Everything moving at a snail’s pace.

The phone (and family account) can establish age, then save a token that can be used privately by websites to authenticate age without making everyone divulge their face picture, ID, and private info to some rando 3rd party site.
As a parent, I’m totally OK with that. I want my kid to have a phone to stay in touch with friends, look up info, and play games. You know, kid stuff. I don’t want to hand over a portal into hardcore porn, violence, and stupid bullshit before they are old enough to process it all.
I don’t imagine any serious web or app developer wanting kids trolling around their sites, creating legal liabilities for them.

On infinite repeat.
Always been amazed this song doesn’t get used for Rickrolling during the last two months of each year. It’s a systemic failure.

I got a couple of these off AliExpress. Added printed labels on the drawers. Work pretty well. For larger projects, a plastic shoebox with all the bits and bobs needed for that one project.
According to the article, the air smells like rotten eggs, there are sulphur-converting bacteria in the air, tiny little midges everywhere, and that dude just stands there with no protection other than an overall and a helmet.
Oh yeah, and a crap-ton of spiders.
An old roommate did this but with pennies. I was finding them in my pockets and socks for years.
Can someone plausibly explain the Bending Spoons business model?
Big chunk of debt financing for decrepit brands with old tech. Other than strip-mining user data, I can’t figure it out.

I was in an Apple Store for a Genius Bar appointment when these two guys with hoodies and COVID masks walked in and started pulling phones off the displays and stuffing them into backpacks.
It took less than a minute and then they ran off. The security guard just stood to the side and recorded a video. Once they were gone, everyone just went back to what they were doing, like nothing had happened.
Afterward, I asked the Genius Bar guy if that happened often. He said the two guys hadn’t gotten much because they hadn’t refilled the display from a guy coming in and stealing all the phones literally the day before!
The phones were tracked and the cops eventually caught the two dudes as well as the other solo guy.
I got one years ago. Used it for quite a bit. Worked great, but I stopped using it when my daily computer didn’t have a USB-A port any more.
You do have to remember what each numbered button is for.
6 FIDO keys in one.
Can’t wait for the Christmas cross-over special.
The whole thing is pegging my BS meter, including letting an L5 deploy without a code and architecture review, TC, and the fact that they’re posting this and claiming they’re still there.
