dude3··on Googlebook
GBook or GoBook. They may have biffed this launch no matter how good. Googlebook is too long. Looks cool though.
dude3··on DOJ finally posted that “embarrassing” court doc Google wanted to hide
Seeing this, I hope they dig more into the motivation and decision making behind massive ranking updates. Essentially, is it only about improving search quality.
dude3··on What happened with ASUS routers this morning?
I had issues too. Thought it was just my home network. After a few reboots of every device on ai mesh, was able to install the latest firmware. It mentioned it fixed a memory leak. I have 2 RT-AX55's.
dude3··on OpenAI has applied for “GPT” trademark with USPTO
I am hopeful they rename the company as well and remove "Open". It seems all they are doing is setting up a walled garden.
dude3··on Potential Issues of Using a USB Powerbank as a UPS (2021)
I tried this it does provide power like a ups but it cuts out for a moment and restarts the device.
dude3··on Dall-E 2 illustrations of Twitter bios
There is a lot of emphasis on eyes. Same thing in Google’s deep dream. Eerie.
dude3··on Google Drive of historical footage locked and flagged as terrorist activity
GP! I also received a billing failure on Google Cloud etc at approximately 6pm PST.
dude3··on Google Drive of historical footage locked and flagged as terrorist activity
While not Google Drive, today my Ad words account was suddenly suspended because of non payment. No warning just a suspension. I have a 100% Valid credit card number on my account. I need to submit an appeal and then I get a vague "because of Covid 19" we can't respond even though we know Google has hired a record number of contractors and folks in the US this year. Something isn't right.
dude3··on Hackers break into thousands of security cameras, exposing Tesla, jail, hospital
I find the Wyze cams great! Cheap. They do have 2 factor auth support for apps like Authy. It doesn't sound like you have enabled the premium features. Person detection is really good for exterior facing cams. Hook it up to Alexa Show and you have person detected notifications also access to any cam. Premium also has longer clips. For the price it's kind of OK to be semi locked down. I believe the reason for not supporting RTSP is because of hardware limitations on V2.

Thanks for testing! I'll get it fixed asap.

dude3··on Silicon Valley exodus: Bay Area tech companies leaving for Texas
“Some who have already left San Francisco complained of mismanagement of the city and state. Though it's not clear what exactly they're referring to” (read this the other day)

“Haven't left Silicon Valley; they're still continuing to employ people”

There is this general aloofness of the problems. They need to address it head on and make it more hospitable for companies and residents.

dude3··on Twitter and Facebook's action over Joe Biden article reignites bias claims
- Can you point me to a link of how this was hacked? My understanding is that the laptop was given to a mac repair place and then they didn't pay for it. I have no idea why someone would do not pay for their repair though. - A lot of people are focusing on the Donald Trump tax returns which were hacked in a way but accepted on Twitter. They have personally identifiable information too as in when you go to the IRS website it asks you for a return's amount as a means of verification etc.
dude3··on HashiCorp forbids its software being used in China
Exactly just laws of the United States.
dude3··on De-Googling: My Progress
One thing to add to the list. Signal rather than Whatsapp. It's the best. Protonmail isn't bad too.
dude3··on How to avoid Amazon: guide to online shopping
Been buying a lot of stuff on eBay. On the app, you can filter by Guaranteed Delivery 1 to 4 days. If it doesn't make it by the guaranteed date, you get a $5 credit to your eBay account. It's also frequently cheaper for new stuff. For example, water bottles and bluetooth adapters.
dude3··on Judge Halts Work on Microsoft’s JEDI Contract in Victory for Amazon
Should be a factor. Guy involved in the JEDI decision was pursuing a job at Amazon.

dude3··on Google plans to drop Chrome support for tracking cookies by 2022
But you’re still logged into the browser with one’s Google account. They get the cross site tracking benefit but competitors don’t? Not to mention limited by a vendor sandbox. Not saying I’m into tracking.
dude3··on Visa Buys Plaid
I am able to continuously transfer funds after the initial setup
dude3··on Visa Buys Plaid
You can remove 2FA, login with Plaid, and re add it. This worked for me.
dude3··on Canada has arrested Huawei’s global chief financial officer in Vancouver
Probably related to this: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.bbc.com/news/amp/world-us-c.... Trump brought it up at the g20
dude3··on Chrome 71 will block any and all ads on sites with “abusive experiences”
The suspicious thing is the full block. The right thing to do would be to alert the user and let them decide.
dude3··on Bye bye BetterSlack
I hate these emails. Why do corporations have to be so heavy handed? How about just a nice message explaining the problem and possible solutions. Love to read about something like that! I now hope someone keeps slack’s legal department busy. The product sucks anyways. It was down yesterday and it’s a poor excuse for a reliable chat platform.
dude3··on Bird, Lime and Spin Receive Cease-And-desist Letters from SF City Attorney
Was a fan too. I haven’t seen any knocked over
dude3··on Google removes ‘view image’ button from search results
The search, image, and shopping results have improved significantly over the past 6 months. Must be better ML. I now prefer it to Bing. Super easy to set it as default on iOS.
dude3··on Cruise is running an autonomous ride hailing service for employees in SF
Just an observation. There's this tricky corner in the Marina Fillmore/NorthPoint. It took the corner pretty fast and I was surprised (could have been under manual control). People cross there indiscriminately without looking and I have been caught in a few close situations in my car. A creeping system around corners blocked by cars could be helpful.
dude3··on Dow Hits 20000 for First Time
It's also a good technical one. We hovered very close for over a month. Good earnings and we popped over.
dude3··on Ruin My Search History
Next step is a chrome plugin that randomly searches for stuff in the background.
dude3··on Beijing is Silicon Valley's only true competitor
Dude the air was clear the day you were wearing masks. Creadabilty lost.
dude3··on Hidden Microphones Part of Government Surveillance Program in the Bay Area
And what are WE going to do to stop it...?

They aren't going to be listening to the comment sections of websites.
