It might make sense to link the FCC website[0] directly instead of this blog post which is equal parts copying from the FCC website and advertising its own service.

How do you design and maintain an algorithm without human intervention?

I have a couple Eve Room air quality monitors[0] and like them. You do need the iOS app to view and export (XLSX format) historical data, but there's no cloud service or anything to sign up for. I charge them about once a month and usually look at the graphs every couple of days so I'll see then when a battery is getting low. The only other "smart" devices I have in my home are some lightbulbs, though, so I don't have any automation set up using the temperature or air quality.

> just changed comment formatting/typos

I'd call those minor (valid, of course) changes, not low quality changes like what led to this post.

> I'd love for a shortening service to offer an "unfurl" tool where I could paste in the URL, and it shows me what the redirected site is without clicking it and potentially activating their clickthrough tracking.

For Bitly, at least, you can add a plus sign to the end of a short URL to preview what the destination URL is. I don't know if other URL shorteners have something similar.

> of course if you download an app then it has access to send you push notifications or do other things.

It has the access you give it, but the article shows an example leaving every permission allowed. So the QR code really does seem immaterial here.

Probably not a good look for this to be the first thing another hosting company thinks to put up in response.

You can get propeller guards like so[1] to avoid them damaging something (or the blades themselves being damaged).

Same for me. I can fit two Intel NUCs under my monitor stand - one a headless server, another the primary input on the monitor - and can accomplish a decent amount with 16 GB RAM (on an older generation NUC) and two internal drives.

> all the company reps on the forums are very argumentative about any feature request

I've observed this as well and it's frustrating. Usability took a dive when the list view for entries was removed (in favor of the rich icon, column-based layout), having to manually check identically named entries to find one with the right username, but their support staff was seriously adamant about the feature not being worth the development effort because of how few people had used it. It got me looking for alternatives but I haven't switched away yet.

Once a decade doesn't seem realistic. At some point you get diminishing returns chasing as many mines as possible.

I was curious about this too, but going back now to take a closer look at that screenshot, those are three other Snowball models listed in the table, not three more Snowcone models.

It's really not that much time though. "templates" and ".github" are examples of such vague commit messages that they _require_ looking at the commit to understand what changed. With a short, descriptive commit message, you can just glance through the commit log.

Isn't the upside of hosted platforms like this that they have teams of people securing and monitoring the platform, which can be a bit much for one person who's self-hosting? I do self-host other things but the article doesn't say anything about how the breach might've occurred (e.g. 2FA not enabled?).

And then/also submitted a support ticket, unless I'm misunderstanding their post?

> I spent some time thinking about if it was fair for me to post this on the same day as I filed a support ticket with Cloudflare.

Oh, the horror of recommending a public forum. (/s, of course.)

A fair number of questions aren't unique - product questions, how to use an API, etc. Someone may have asked a similar question, in which case you'll find an answer, find it faster than it'll take to hear back from the support team, and it deflects an unnecessary (already answered) ticket. That should be a win all around.

Now if you do have a novel question or something account-specific, by all means, open a ticket. There you'll get replies from people who can look up your account and give you specific answers.

The ombudsman tip in this post doesn't make a whole lot of sense when the normal support process wasn't really given a chance before making the blog post.

This is because DO uses cloud images from upstream projects where possible. They weren't available for CentOS 8 until recently.

Pick a month on the top, pick a day of the month on the left, find the day of the week in the row/column intersection.

I don't know that I'd call it a replacement, strictly speaking. A different transport mechanism, maybe.

It was fixed several months ago, apparently, but the fix still hasn't been released outside of a test build yet. There have been multiple issues opened (and closed as duplicates) but this[0] seems to be the original.

Not to mention HP's iPAQ line which has been around for quite a number of years.

Unlimited Domestic Messaging is an additional $10.00 not included in Android Unlimited Web.

Tech specs indicate 802.11n; does anyone know if there's actually any noticeable difference in n over g when using a mobile processor/device?

If you buy the Nexus One with the T-Mobile plan, $79.99/month includes 500 minutes and unlimited data. It's detailed on the first step of the order process: https://www.google.com/phone/choose

I got the same result and Microsoft Security Essentials (heh) also warned me. I fired up the Ubuntu VM that I use for questionable sites and oddly did not see the same behavior though.

Edit: Not redirecting anymore when I go there in the Windows host OS. Interesting.

Heh. So let's make sure I understand this. Solving the CAPTCHA will give the victim the illusion of regaining control of their computer, yet it's the last step in creating a Facebook account? I'm actually a little impressed by this one.

I'm not entirely sure I understand this part though: "The bad guys have made it difficult for Facebook to cut them off, since active members are actually creating the new accounts, says Correll." What difference would the creating account's age have when making a new one? Sure, it has the benefit of originating from a relatively legitimate IP, but the age of the now compromised account seems arbitrary in this context.

I can understand anyone who's worried about the privacy concerns of using Google products. But leaving them just because of a logo? That does seem like the over-reaction sahaj mentioned.
