Businesses should be using WhatsApp business accounts. They cost money per message sent and don’t support groups, but it’s the officially sanctioned way to do it.

It's a time sharing agreement, just like old-school mainframes and such. You're not getting a full machine to yourself, but a few cycles at a time.

Yeah, I just run bare Debian myself. It's really not hard to setup LVM and Samba. And all of the major frontier models are well-versed in those things, so I used their help to get all of the various bits setup to make access from MacOS fast.

Oh I totally love sampling all the new-to-me snacks. And they make great gifts for back home too. (Just mind what your country does and does not allow across its borders.)

Does Axon offer the same sort of national, single-database that Flock does?

I'm far more inclined to trust my local department to manage their own database vs. a single database that everyone contributes to and reads from.

Yes; I've genuinely lost track of how many countries I've been to - and I'm not referring to layovers. It is possible for one to forget about the cultural nuances of a country literally on the other side of the planet, though. Apologies for not appealing to your own specific experiences. And if that's your takeaway, you're missing the point entirely.

> Other than in terms of human opinion

That's the point though. We don't eat horse either in many areas, for the same reason. Ever heard the phrase, "cattle, not pets" when referring to managing systems? As humans, we tend to form bonds with specific individual dogs, cats, horses, etc. But cattle, not really. That's not to say the animal doesn't have the ability, but they don't easily fit into our lifestyle. (I can let a dog loose in my house while I go to work - a cow, not so much.)

No, we need to transfer a lot of power instead. So those with 800v cars need to be mindful to visit certain charger stations/types over other ones in order to get a fast charge, vs relying on the car to boost it from an older station.

It’s not a technical limitation. Nobody sees the need to build it that way though.

I concur about the picture quality of their OLEDs - it's incredible. But I can't say anything about their interface or software - I've not seen them for probably a year+ at this point. The Apple TV remote turns it off/on, and adjusts the volume. The LG has not been provided internet access.

Have you tried /usr/bin/say ? Might already have something sufficient for you - there’s quite a few voices there.

Is anyone actually running new telecom copper these days? I’d be surprised if so.

Looking forward to reading about it in The Lancet or another respected medical publication.

If the cabling was installed before the drywall, good chance it's stapled.

Wouldn’t Kiro fit the bill?

The nice thing about having a rep that supports my ideals is I don't really see the need to. It won't change anything, and I don't need to convince them.

Plus, decrypting using a key stored locally cuts out a network roundtrip, which has battery and data usage impacts.

Both Apple and Google offer the ability for your app to intercept and modify messages before being displayed. Use that to send encrypted messages and decrypt them there, using your own code on the user’s device.

Moving over to the management track and trying to not suck at it.

Tell your developers to start logging the exception, not just a hard-coded error message.

It’ll work great if you can get the drivers all aligned properly. I’ve tried a few times to get my 12 year old Brother laser setup like that, and each time I end up throwing in the towel.

Maybe I’ll try it again someday with an LLM assisting.

The United States does not have a Secretary of War, and has not since 1947.

Sure, but that seems like quite a high gatekeeping bar for a test suite.

Not necessarily. Would you respond the same if the previous person said, "Was this built using an IDE" or "What qualifications do you have to write this software"?

Shit code can be written with AI. Good code can also be written with AI. The question was only really asked to confirm biases.

Does it matter?

I pay $25 for my backup 5G internet - but unlike a mobile plan, it's actually unlimited at 300mbps, and I don't have to resort to TTL shenanigans and such to use it for my whole network. It's just plugged into one of the ports on my router, and provides it with real public IPv4. Ran it for a few days when the fiber dropped out and consumed 200GB without complaint from either myself or the ISP.

How long until “first principles” is a meme like “considered harmful”? Or are we there already?

It's good that MLT did cancel them, but there's still a ton up that way. Mill Creek, Lynnwood, Marysville, just for a few examples.

For me, s/FreeBSD/Debian/. Same reason.

Who is the "we" here? I've poked around a few pages on this fellow's site, and apparently haven't found the right one to answer that.
