Glove80 has a dedicated F row, is off he shelf, and also has layers if you -want- to use them. I haven't bothered with the layers yet, but my carpal tunnel definitely thanks me for switching to it.

I am not affiliated in anyway, just a happy customer who is no longer in pain after work. Dedicated F row was a must for me as well.

Glove80 has a quick release mount system meant specifically for that use case. The first version was better in my opinion, but they had trouble source some parts and just launched a version 2 with the parts they can get.

They cracked multiple other USB's containing multiple millions though, per the article. The one USB is just the whale. They also cracked multiple USB's provided by Wired, proving the technique.

The article headline is a bit hyperbolic, but the article itself is very clear on all of these points.

I mentioned this in another comment, but I think it bears repeating since you mentioned "FAIK, podcast owner often provide show notes, not the whole text version for their show." -- take a look at the podcasting 2.0 specs, they absolutely do provide transcripts to whole shows.

It's an open source standard which includes transcripts, chapter art, and a bunch of other added functionality which is being driven by Adam Currey, who is known for the original creation of podcasting, was an MTV VJ who ran mtv.com before MTV realized there was value there, and now hosts the No Agenda podcast.

I have a feeling you will find some value in the standards, given that the transcript format/metadata is already established.

One more link I forgot: https://api.podcastindex.org/signup

I am unaffiliated, I just like what they are doing.

I am guessing you are already on top of this, but just in case I wanted to suggest that you aim for Podcasting 2.0 compatibility:

Also I tried searching for my top 5 podcasts, and none of them came up which was disappointing. Neat idea though.

It wasn't millions of accounts, it was an undefined number relying on scraping dna relatives after the breach. This article mentioned it, but last week I saw a better more detailed explanation.

Regardless, the key quote from the linked article:

"23andMe blamed the incident on its customers for reusing passwords, and an opt-in feature called DNA Relatives, which allows users to see the data of other opted-in users whose genetic data matches theirs. If a user had this feature turned on, in theory it would allow hackers to scrape data on more than one user by breaking into a single user’s account."

Voting day should be a national federal holiday, that would eliminate most concerns about the poor, lack of 'child minders', day of work, etc.

The arguments some people are making in this thread that it -shouldn't- take a day, should only take a 'click', are misguided imo. There is value in slowing down collectively, participating in the process, and seeing the results of that collective action.

Reducing it to a task to be completed as efficiently as possible is horribly misguided -- but eliminating the barriers to participate collectively is conversely an admirable goal, which could easily be mostly solved via federal holiday.

You make it sound way tougher and more expensive than it is. If you can afford to buy black market fungi, you can afford the equipment and time required to grow your own.

I mean the uncle ben tek is what, $20? $40? in materials? And that's with spores leftover in case you somehow fail your cleanliness check.

I don't do it anymore, but when I did grow them I had exactly 1 failure out of at least 15 grows, and I was cognizant of the fact I was cutting corners. There is less luck involved than you let on.

I immediately assumed this had something to do with https://loopypro.com/ - which is wildly popular for certain music production niches.

You may want to reconsider that name imho.

There are already 'solve captcha as a service' sites all over, with highly developed APIs for their use. Lots of people use them for sneaker bots and ticket bots etc.

This is alosing idea out of the gate.

This just made my life so much easier, thanks for posting this. IT Glue recently introduced a bug they have acknowledged where you can no longer hover over large images to see the full size, making half of our documentation illegible unless you want to force open the image in a new tab. This fixes that entirely.

I may as well post my must have extensions while thanking you:

DarkReader - this combined with f.lux on the machine will save your eyesight

SponsorBlock - makes youtube so much more usable, as well as other video sites

CookieNoticeBlocker - Im guessing there is a way to use ublock to achieve similar results, but it blocks those annoying popups for you

Behind the Overlay- useful for sites that use an overlay to hide article content, click the button and it hides any overlays and suddenly the page is there again

UnPayWall - find the full text to scholarly articles

I know this isn't probably the best approach in general, but it feels like a decent compromise for my use case:

I try to use medium sized services that are based in other countries. I figure if their government has insisted on backdoors it is less directly impactful than if my government does.

I don't really have anything to hide anyway so if my assumptions/approach is wrong then worst case they find out about the concert I'm talking about going to. I grew up thinking encryption and technology were going to free us though, and have found reality to be quite the opposite -- so I try to cover my tracks out of spite I guess.

I'm going to copy this comment I saw on slashdot re: this yesterday that seemed to let some of the air out of the whole press release:

"The salt mentioned is not table salt, but lithium chloride. Lithium chloride - which makes up a half by weight of the film, and is also in obvious demand for batteries, is $70/kg or so in bulk."

I haven't really dug in deep myself, but this is the comment that deflated me when reading about this yesterday, so worth looking into at least imo

This is probably going to open a can of worms I don't really care to deal with, but to be fair Friedl is an obviously Jewish name.

Jewish people very often do not consider themselves White -- so from her perspective, she is almost certainly not included in the 'less White people' statement.

In my opinion, it is not. I am vaccinated and I used this site to make sure my batch wasn't 'bad' before getting the injection.

Regardless of how you feel about vaccines, 95% of the bad reactions are linked to 5% of the batches. I'm not going to jump to conclusions, but on the surface at least that seems to suggest a manufacturing or quality control issue that may have been missed.

Actually taking a closer look it was a different URL I used, but the same software to make sure I was making the safest most informed decision I was able to. I think the author posted the code somewhere too and open sourced it (I don't have a link as I'm not affiliated, just happy someone built this).

So from my perspective this is an interesting data analysis project, an interesting observation on manufacturing processes, and enables people to more confidently get the jab if they are hesitant due to the known possibility of side effects that this can help mitigate.

Normally I lurk here but today I built an account to make this point, as I don't like to see the chilling effect that labeling anything that isn't all roses as antivax propaganda.
