... and that, when left unattended, get overrun by weeds (link rot, sec vulnerabilities, etc.)

Not sure if this BoneAppleTea material or DamnYouAutoCorrect :-)

Wow... I'm really enjoying reading about promnesia, roam integration, etc. Thanks for sharing.

But that's a very different use case than having a website you visit portscan your computer (which I believe is what the user above you is referring to.

There's really no legitimate reason for eBay, or any other website, to portscan your computer. There's nothing there needed for browsing their website.

Thanks. I'll take a look at it.

So, what's the easiest way to install this on a Comcast household network?

There's a name I haven't heard in a loooong time.

Excel's Power Query just saved my countless hours last week in cleaning up and merging two huge csv databases.

Learning the YouTube APIs saved me thousands of hours on editing video metadata, organizing playlists, etc (https://github.com/cgranier/pytube).

Everything (https://www.voidtools.com/) is a wonderful file search tool for Windows.

Thanks for all the links and ideas... new things to try this week.

Same here. Initially thought this was about libraries monitoring what poor people read.

According to this CNN article (https://www.cnn.com/2019/11/04/tech/microsoft-japan-workweek...), they measured "sales by employee" and compared with the previous year.

I was extremely confused as well... That he also doesn't really explain what he was doing didn't help. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

How is the use of malaria nets for fishing (or chicken coops, or crop covers) somehow Gates’ fault?

Thanks! Learned something new today (even though I’m mostly on Python now)

I always liked this one I wrote ages ago, to generate strong (at the time) passwords:

[code lang=“ruby”]

((33..126).map { |i| i.chr }).to_a.shuffle[0..14].join

[/code]

:-)

True, but I don't think ladder-related are growing or have a potential to grow significantly in the future. Vaping deaths are probably increasing and since people get addicted to them (and not to ladders) there's an incentive to get them under control now.

Nice... Only took them 11 years (http://red66.com/2006/04/google-media/)

So far, I love it... Great news, concise format. Always in your pocket.

Exactly. I need to turn them into something meaningful.

Thanks. This looks very promising. I'll dig into it and hopefully come out with a clean database ;-)

What I need is something that takes all the extended characters (think Spanish or Swedish) and turns them into alternative safe versions.

For instance, á into a, ñ into n, å into a, etc.

Had my hopes up when I saw the title.

Does anyone have any ideas or links to working scripts that I can turn into something useful? I need to "sanitize" a database of foreign documentaries before uploading to YouTube (their metadata input system chokes on extended chars). Thanks!

It still raises a number of questions...

1. Why is this happening only in iMessage?

2. Why does iMessage offer so many options to open a picture in? And why are apps that don't share photos included in this list?

3. Why can't iMessage share photos to iCloud?

4. Is iMessage broken? What makes iMessage different from other Apple apps included in iOS?

5. Why isn't Apple leading the charge and actively pushing this much needed interaction?

I think Android's approach is much better, which is why I was so excited at the possibility that Apple might be working on something similar. Alas...

And I did search and found nothing related to what's going on within iMessage, which I found odd. Nothing wrong with trying to guess what a company is doing.

Thanks for the links ;-)

Apple seems to be experimenting with native inter-app sharing on iOS 7 within the iMessage app. If you try to share an image you’ve received through iMessage you’ll notice a much larger selection of sharing options than normally available on other iOS apps.

An interesting exposé of reputation management techniques used by individuals and organizations linked to the Venezuelan government.

What do you think of this investigation? Which other forensic techniques would you recommend?

(I do not know the author, but the subject matter is important to me).

Checking the screen for smudge marks is also a good way to break this system quickly.

As for the 12 quintillion combinations... I have no idea where that number came from either.

Or journalistic laziness.

I wish it was true... (even though you'd then have to deal with the lot saying that the iPhone being on caused the crash).

But it just doesn't add up... it's not like Find my iPhone is magic.

A number of questions quickly come to mind...

1. Is there mobile data service in the Juan Fernandez Islands? And does it work that far out at sea? At the required accuracy?

2. How could Find My iPhone locate the phone if it was (presumably, at this point) underwater?

I'm using IFTTT to automate a couple of things in my information workflow:

1. To allow me to feed interesting articles from my iPad into BufferApp so I can post them automatically to Twitter throughout the day:

http://red66.com/2011/06/integrating-buffer-into-your-ipad-t...

I go through Zite, Flipboard and Hacker News every morning and queue up all the interesting articles. Buffer posts them for me at set times throughout the day. I don't have to be at my computer to tweet and I don't flood my followers early in the morning.

2. To automatically post my Instagram photos to my Google+ account:
