if the "back" functionality is still laggy and not instant I won't change from firefox to safari.

almyk··on Nvidia backs AI data center startup Nscale as it hits $14.6B valuation
My work pays for the $200 sub for me. At work in a typical 5h slot I tend to use 35~40% of the usage limit, so the $100 sub wouldn’t let me keep my current workflow and AI usage but I am more often than not using 2x the $100 sub. We’ll see if they keep paying for this or not, because we are not yet sure if using AI like this is sustainable and worth the tech debt of moving faster

almyk··on Internet Archive: Security breach alert
I think it is safer to have 2FA in your password manager than not using 2FA at all. Because even if they got your password, if they don't have access to your password manager they can't login.

If you protect your password manager with a yubikey or any other hardware key, then your 2FA inside your password manager is quite secure and convenient. But this is very individual, what your threat model is and how secure you want/need to be.

They also added gemini 1.5 pro to their chat assistant.

Thanks for linking to the docs. I really like this feature, but as you said, it felt like it showed up at random
almyk··on FCC Bans Authorizations for Devices That Pose National Security Threat
> If your NAT router/gateway keeps this port open and you are sure you want to filter it (potential interference with ISPs pushing firmware updates), try the following. Navigate to your router's admin interface and disable TR-069. If that does not work, look under "port forwarding", or "virtual servers", and forward the port to an unused local IP address, like (192.168.1.252)

From the source that was linked. So the original author doesn't recommend 192.168.1.252 but just uses it as an example
