I would assume malice but Outlook informed me today that it deactivated the "Microsoft Teams Meeting Add-in for Microsoft Office" because it caused Outlook to open items slowly.

So if halon's razor ("Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.") is anything to go by it might be not on purpose, but who knows.

That thought was my first impression as well. However with a second thought i'm not sure if i'm convinced by the long time scenario that you would end up using this tool. After all it only makes sense to use this tool if you never intent to migrate the data completely. Which means, the data will till the end be scatered between AWS and Cloudflare with no apparent system other than the last access. Maybe I am overlooking something.

There is even a "Technician for cooling and ventilation systems" Opening

You do still need an account but (Microsoft Account) but the game itself has no DLCs, no lootboxes and the likes.

Not the OP, I think the main difference between then an now is that the internet in the old days wasn’t designed to be addictive, todays social networks and other apps are. For me it’s not about the severity of the the content but the addictiveness.

I remember two of my classmates being addicted to World of Warcraft. They both got problems, one dropped out, one managed to turn around. Today every smartphone game and the social networks are at least as addictive as WoW. Some people will manage it but some won’t. I don’t know if OPs way to handle it would be the way I handled it but A I don’t have a better idea an B I don’t have kids (yet).

I haven't played with rfid tags or bluetooth beacons myself but I could imagine a solution build around one of the two technologies. I think it should consist of an entry tunnel with two sensors, one at each end. The tunnel and the two sensors could be used to determine the direction the chicken goes. It the chick first triggers the inner and then the outer sensor it is checked out and when it goes the other way its checked in.

The Podcast Alternativlos by Felix Von Leitner and Frank Rieger were twice in Greifswald to interview some of the people behind the Wendelstein. In the first episode (http://alternativlos.org/36 from 2016) they mainly focused on the development and build process and the history. The second one is from this year and they talk about the achievements and the future of Fusion (http://alternativlos.org/51/)

Iirc it was also so the coffee could be kept for a longer time within the brewer before it got stale.

I believe the Label on the headline here should be 1997 as per the last paragraph of the article:

„This article originally ran in the February 1997 issue of Reader’s Digest.“

The later is whats happening now. They let the nature do its thing. The bugs are only part of the problem. They are so widespread because it’s gotten to dry there which makes the trees vulnerable.

The Raumzeit podcast released the second episode of a longer series about the cern. In the frist one he discussed the history and success of the cern with the leader of the experimental physics department and in the second one he talks to the guy who is in charge of operations of the proton synchrotron about the actual accelerators.

Development cost and low sales. If they spend to much for the R&D and then sold not enough units to recoup the cost then the business would be in the red.

Over the years they developed some pretty special units. Examples are the Extreme Compute Element (NUCs in PCIe form factor) or the Hades Canyon with RXVega GPU and in general the more gaming focused NUCs. I don't think those were sold in high volume numbers.

Blackberry 10 was so nice. I bought a Z10 at launch, UX-wise the best phone I ever had. Used it for I think 3 years and would go back instantly with a modern device and better app support. It had gesture control years before Android and iOS introduced them (it was copied from MeeGo though) and the unified inbox is still miles a way from everything else.

I believe he was referencing iOS were it is not possible to use a third party browser engine. Just safari in different dresses.

ANC works by detecting the outside noise, deriving how these noises reach you ear and then play the antiwave so that in cancels out. The issue is that the canceling out part only works on the receiving end so there is still pressure on the eardrum even if you don't hear it.

I still think that ANC is good for the ears by reducing the needed volume in every day situations. And it also helps that most ANC headphones are designed in a way that also passively isolates the outside world to reduce the burden on the ANC and as a side effect also on your ears.

Seeing this website here made me chuckle. Mr. Hörenberg was a teacher at my school. He once held a "guest lecture" within my CS class where he told us about his hobby of breaking engima codes and how his software worked. He once used multiple of our schools computer rooms during summer break to run his software. Luckily for him, we had CAD classes and therefore appropriate workstations. Some of it is explained here: https://enigma.hoerenberg.com/index.php?cat=Breaking%20the%2...

(A funny sidenote was that he wasn't and admin in our school and had now way of deactivating the screensaver then to walk from desk to desk every 14 minutes and move the mouse.)

I think the dangerous is not phishing for credentials but malware. The example is a Github Link to a release. You click on the link expecting to download the legitimate kubernetes relase zip file. But instead you end up with a patched version with an e.g. included monero miner.

A less tech-savy or distracted user would also fall for a .exe file that downloads and just click on it since he just expects a zip file from github.

They are not just associated with it. It’s a spin-off and is owned by the same company. From there FAQ:

> Tillitis is wholly owned by Amagicom AB and is a spin-off from the sister company Mullvad VPN

This is one of the reasons is switched to TrueNas Scale for my HomeServer. Before that I always had a VM that was the Docker Host and another one with OpenMediaVault as Backup Server. Both these VMs are replaced by TrueNas. Less complexity and less maintenance overhead.

> Unfortunately, as part of my special duties, I need to run an operating system that is not compatible with this framework.

Sadly the answer my employer has in that case: buy a VMWare Workstation License in the store and use you special snowflake OS in there. Still better than nothing but also a bit annoying.

In case you don’t know about it, there is good workaround based on USB over IP that is officially recommended by MS.

I used it a while ago to flash a ESP32 and to connect a Zigbee Adapter to a Linux container. Had no issues with it.

I have a Kenwood Cooking Chef (the older Version, has a 6.7L bowl). It kneads really well and has a heating function for up to 180°C (so you can also use it for cooking or continiously heating malt for bread baking). There is a functions where it stirs once every 15s and once every two minutes iirc. So its to frequent for the ripening but im sure there is a way to hack it. Or maybe check the newer versions they have a touch screen and might be configurable from the get go. The newer version also has a built in scale. There is also a "Patissier" version that is a little cheaper and can only heat up to 80°C.

And the bowl is made from stainless steel, so no coating that can come of.

My dad had a mk2 diesel. He used less than 5l/100km and drove for 200000 km until he sold it with 350000km. As far as i remember he never had a serious issue. It wasn't a comfortable ride but very reliable.

He recently was a guest in Lex Fridmans podcast.

> Hartmann either does not understand encryption, or client-based content scanning. There's a good chance Hartmann doesn't understand either :-(

I think that is debatable and depends on your viewpoint. If you only look at the technical process of end-to-end encryption it is, indeed, not weakend by client-side scanning since that happens prior to the encryption. If you, however look at it from the perspective of the use case (sending information privately without information leakage) it is weakened. Client-side scanning only makes sense if, in case of a match, some authority is informed. This is by definition information leakage. On a first glance it looks like a ok compromise in the case of CSAM but if the technology is in place it can only go downhill from there and the next step is usually terrorism followed by capital crimes. The later two categories can be abused depending on the definition which heavily differs depending on which European country we are talking about. Also if the technology is forced in place by the European market, there is very little that stops other less liberal countries to use the same technology against whatever they don't like. So it's the usual slippery slope argument with the additional caveat that a lot of child protection agencies are not convinced that it would make an important difference and that the resources should be allocated elsewhere.

The blogpost itself is a really entertaining read.

I can recommend Splid[1]. Very easy to use, low effort expense tracking app that supports shared tracking without any signup or the need of an account. Supports Multi-Currency.

> Meanwhile youtube channels like LTT are printing money on low quality low effort content.

I find this statement rather snarky and it is imho quite close to being against the HN Guidelines. Anyway I also think it is wrong. Sure not all videos from LTT are high-quality well researched and contain thorough testing but when they are really reviewing a product they put a lot of effort into it. They are even in the process of building a decked out lab to facilitate proper testing.

An example of this is their review of the recently released Ryzen 7000 non-X CPUs. They tested 11 different CPUs in 9 different games and 14 productivity benchmarks and further testing with regards to thermals and power consumption. The whole 18 minute video is basically Linus explaining result charts for these various tests. https://youtube.com/watch?v=CTiRNnSg0jA&t=9s&pp=2AEJkAIB

I encourage you to watch this or any of the other hardware review videos and think about reevaluating your opinion. I don’t want to come across as a fanboy but it think your under a quite outdated impression and I think it’s unfair with regards the investment and change LTT is undergoing as of late.

I think you understood the statement wrong. It also took me a second read to get it.

Written differently the sentence could also be phrased the following:

> Branson said he want's to have people around him that dare to tell him no.

I take the following:

- Vitamin D (mostly during winter times)

- L-Theanin ( https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S03010... )

- Vitamine B12 (I am a vegetarian)

- Omega 3

- Vitamin C + Zinc (especially when I feel like there is a cold incoming due to the shortening effect of zinc see: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/21328251/ )
