As a German living in Berlin it's still pretty normal that once in a while WW2 bombs are found during construction. Heavy bombs that didn't explode probably penetrated the ground quite a bit so when rebuilding it was probably just easier to just leave them there. That's just a guess.

There are also still bombs and grenades in the rivers. There are some magnet fishing YouTube channels where you can occasionally see them pulling up stuff like that.

There are several Coauthored by Claude commits. So at least partially LLM generated.

I thought the NFT hype was over...

> I think FireChat was the first one, in 2011.

FireChat was released in 2014.

I have a vague memory of sitting in school in like 2006 or 2007 and sending messages via Bluetooth to a classmate on my Sony Ericsson K750i.

Calling this "hijacking the Amazon app" is hyperbolic in my opinion. They replaced the shortcut in the app drawer. To me this looks like normal scummy OEM behaviour, like pre-installing spyware, "anti-" malware, adware etc. which sadly pretty much every mobile/computer manufacturer does.

Replacing the OS is one of the first things I do with every laptop, PC and mobile device to get rid of (most) crap that was installed without my consent.

Nice blogpost. Was an really interesting read. Would be interesting to read about the experience of getting the patch accepted and merged.

One thing I noticed: The last footnote is missing.

They sell existing hardware with their firmware. You're right, the bangle.js 2 is a SMA Q3 (https://hackaday.io/project/175577-hackable-nrf52840-smart-w...)

I usw pandoc to create slides from markdown: ```pandoc -t beamer slides.md -o slides.pdf``` And if you prefer HTML+JS slides, pandoc can do that too: https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#slide-shows

I hope the CD player is connected to the cloud so he can get important security updates for his CDs. Then there might be a way to add some personalized product recommendations between tracks...

> How does stuff like that happen?

Simple: nobody entered the height of your condo building into OSM yet. You can change that. Be the change you want to see in the world!

And then some of the talks they are selected.

And Macintosh Apple Comouter

Or change the file extension to anything else than .list

I was once asked whether I was carrying large sums of cash at Oslo airport. I think the only reason they asked me was because there was literally nobody else in sight. I was in my early twenties and broke af. I was wearing jeans with huge holes in them and shoes that were more duct tape than shoe. I showed them all the cash I had on me: 3 coins. 2 of them had holes in them.

I think most people don't participate for the competition. I did it several times to increase my coding skills, have fun or get more practice in a new programming language.

I use my Nextcloud and sync via CardDAV (DAVx5 on mobile, Thunderbird on desktop).

Magic and fairy dust

Looks like gadgetbridge already supports it (in nightly): https://codeberg.org/Freeyourgadget/Gadgetbridge/pulls/3896 https://gadgetbridge.org/gadgets/wearables/colmi/

Mismanagement. Years of cutting maintenance and personell to make profits.

Thanks for pointing that out. I would love to have regular automatic BP measurements but not with closed source software that demands an internet connection.

I hope the mapmen will cover this.

On February 3, 2023 Mulesoft announced that after 17 years in operation, it had shut down Programmable Web.

The prize is for an idea how to do it. Actually doing it will cost billions. You could enter your plan into the contest :)

I'm mad at the person that is showing ads to a classroom.

Zellij is a terminal workspace or terminal multiplexer not a terminal. It should be compared against tmux, screen and similar tools.

Only 1 out of 94 AVs on VirusTotal flag the file.

Turing-complete? Kind of. First claim was in 2011. And another one in 2015: https://accodeing.com/blog/2015/css3-proven-to-be-turing-com...

Having a wheel group that is allowed to run any command with su rights is the default setup, but it's not the only one.

I have used sudo a lot of times to allow a specific user to run exactly one command with elevated rights. In those cases they weren't in the wheel group.
