Not the first time I've seen that kind of leak from a site using bubble.io

A heat pump is basically a reverse cycle air conditioner, right? Why are they so expensive in the UK? (Australian here)

Very easy URL to relay, "do you see the chicken? let me know what the blue numbers are below it" - and most people seem to get a kick out of it!

Can't be too much German engineering in a Taiwanese (Clevo) machine

Sky News is Australia's Fox News. The IPA is a right-wing "think-tank". Chris Kenny is a climate change denier.

This is not good journalism, and it would be a stretch to call Kenny a journalist.

Interested in reading more about this, do you have any links?

Last time I checked (~6 months ago), when you're logging in and it asks to verify a mobile 2FA code, the mobile number it's sent to is actually returned to the browser in the response...

When waste ink absorbers are full, a fault condition is spilling ink out the bottom of the printer... mainly when (some) non-genuine inks are used. I've seen it happen a few times.

> So why would the scanner also be disabled?

I'm not aware of that happening.

Looking at the video linked in the article showing Epson waste ink pad replacement, it actually looks like a pretty simple process with a couple of screws. Much easier than Canon's procedure of disassembling the whole unit from the top down.

But if you add in even just 20 minutes of (messy) labour in the Epson scenario, that's where the cost becomes more than replacing the unit.

It's unfortunate, but at least they don't do what HP does with their inkjets... if we're accusing anyone of malice when it comes to inkjets, it should definitely be HP.

Former printer tech here - waste ink pads are common in inkjets, and definitely not an issue exclusive to Epson. After all, the ink that it sucks through priming on start up/shut down/idle has to go somewhere.

It's not that straightforward to modify the machine to make the parts user replaceable. I know in Canon inkjets, at least, this was my least favourite job - the entire printer has to be disassembled from the top-down (including a number of springs and the decoder strip) to get to the pads. Most of the cost is in labour, not the parts.

I have a bigger concern with myGovID. It pushes a notification, with "accept" or "decline". What happens if you accidentally hit "accept" when it wasn't you that logged in? There is no way to end a session/revoke a token from the app.

I completely understand that - but it's still creepy, and it's a reminder of how big tech follows you around the internet. As soon as I see it, I choose to leave the website.

I'm really not a fan of sites that pop up "Log in with Google" with your account details prefilled. It's creepy.

Correct - I can think of, for example, a national ASX listed ISP (Aussie Broadband) with the word bullshit in their core values - "No Bullshit": https://www.aussiebroadband.com.au/forms/investors/statement...

You don't need to be a woman to enjoy a "Women in Hip Hop" playlist. Spotify isn't about what it thinks you are. It's about what it thinks you want to listen to.

It's interesting because it's the first time I've thought about it (not a big listener of classical music) - but whether or not classical music is racist isn't really why I bought that one up.

The group seems to be sidetracked with every single cause, a subcommittee for every minority group... which, to me, takes away from the main purpose of a Union of Musicians - getting paid/treated properly (as a whole).

Which just reminds me of how this webpage gets sidetracked from the main issue. The main issue should be: listening in on conversations is creepy.

> Can you imagine how terrible it would be to already hate and be super self-conscious about your voice only to have Spotify start telling you via recommendations that you don’t pass well enough.

Although the patent may be creepy...

The text of the patent refers to media recommendation (not advertising) - contrary to the sibling comment where you claim it will result in ads for Dollar Shave Club, the patent does not once use the term "advertising". Sure, it could be used for that, but I don't think that's the main intention at all.

How are you going to know that Spotify has recommended you a song based on your gender? Are we assigning genders to songs now? Straight white cis males can like Aqua's "Barbie Girl", too.
