> company that sell pedals with integrated lights too but I can't remember the name

I use https://redshiftsports.com/products/arclight-pedals - originally bought them on Kickstarter.

They're not super cheap, but I'm very happy with them. You can change the mode from always on to pulsing. They automatically turn off when not in use, and they sense the direction of the pedal so that the front light is always white and the back is always red.

apparently it's an option when using an external display - https://textream.net/docs/#external

I recently switched from Plex's pretty terrible native players to Plezy (on iOS, iPadOS and tvOS).

Plezy supports both Plex and Jellyfin as a backend - I'm not sure if there is 100% feature parity.

It depends.

* For companies publishing real time positions (STIB-MIVB, TEC), live position will be shown. For companies that don't (De Lijn, NMBS/SNBC), we calculate the position based on the schedule (GTFS), corrected with published delays (GTFS-RT).

Every vehicle on the map is labeled with realtime / calculated position.

I also like https://computer.rip/ - not personal anecdotes from people who were there, but definitely well researched and interesting technology history.

Never heard of this one either. FCKGW on the other hand still triggers muscle memory.

I definitely experienced that “yellow badges” were viewed by long timers as somewhat of a lower caste. Starting with the first onboarding day where they were given hand-me-down phones and laptops.

(This was a long time ago, during the Ballmer era. Just my personal 2 cents.)

M5Stack has black & white (https://shop.m5stack.com/products/m5stack-esp32-core-ink-dev...) and color (https://shop.m5stack.com/products/m5paper-color-esp32s3-dev-...) development kits that look like exactly what you're looking for.

While this is presented as a way to evade ad blockers, using it to serve ads is explicily prohibited in the license:

The permission granted by this license explicitly EXCLUDES the right to use this software, in whole or in part, for the purpose of serving, delivering, or displaying digital advertisements, sponsored content, or any form of commercial marketing to end-users. Any such use immediately terminates this license.

The problem is that those are treated almost like an app, you need a $99/year developer certificate to publish them.

Many third party ticketing solutions venues and events use do support this, but for instance if you want to sell tickets for a party and self-host, you need another external integration, or a developer account. Generating a PDF with a QR code, and publishing an .ics file is essentially free.

> The same is true in a physical card wallet.

Not at all.

In my physical wallet, those identical looking cards have different names on them, ie. <myfirstname mylastname> and <mylastname - partnerslastname> for joint accounts. I can also mark them up with a marker, or request a different picture from some banks.

In iOS I need to remember that the one ending with 0044 is mine, and 0073 is for our joint account. I have no way to add an alias or distinguish them otherwise. This is ridiculous.

See this story from 2 days ago: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=47738883

Basically, to combat pirate streaming of football matches, La Liga (the Spanish football association) can compel Spanish ISPs to block wide ranges of IP blocks that are suspected of hosting those streams.

This includes Cloudflare, which - due to lots of websites depending on them (see what happened when they went down last year: https://blog.cloudflare.com/18-november-2025-outage/ ) feels like half of the internet is unusable. This happens weekly when football is on.

Now it looks like those bans are going to become even more frequent, which will have all kinds of unintended consequences.

TIL this exists... C2PA can digitally sign the complete lifecycle of an image, starting from capture on the camera:

(I submitted this article to HN too as I thought it was pretty interesting)

That's what I did, which is why I abandoned my experiment this quickly.

I'd find it hard to write such an article about how this is the next best thing since sliced bread without mentioning it spending so much money.

I tried it out yesterday, after reading the enthousiastic article at https://www.macstories.net/stories/clawdbot-showed-me-what-t...

Setting it up was easy enough, but just as I was about to start linking it to some test accounts, I noticed I already had blown through about $5 of Claude tokens in half an hour, and deleted the VPS immediately.

Then today I saw this follow up: https://mastodon.macstories.net/@viticci/115968901926545907 - the author blew through $560 of tokens in a weekend of playing with it.

If you want to run this full time to organise your mailbox and your agenda, it's probably cheaper to hire a real human personal assistant.

This was first reported by Apache.be, not exactly what I would call a zionist publication.

The speech in question was a speech given at the opening of the academic year at the second largest university in Belgium. De Sutter became rector last year. As part of her election platform, she warned about the dangers of AI in terms of plagiarism, bias and hallucinations - so in this context this is quite relevant.

Clicked the button and immediately got redirected to a new tab with a fake “your iPhone has been hacked” spam site. Closed & flagged.

First of all, you are conflating Hamas and Hezbollah. Second of all, the stories about beheading of babies and mass rape on October 7, 2023 have been thoroughly debunked. Third: the pager operation caused indiscriminate explosions at places where non-combattant citizens were present. Not very gentlemen-ly (to use your words), and indeed a war crime. Fourth: What they did in Gaza is arguably worse than carpet bombing.

A gotcha photo? He posted it himself..

This has been national news in Belgium over the past few days.

It seems the company operating check-in services for many airports, Collins Aerospace (no news on their website so far - https://www.collinsaerospace.com/news?#newssearchresults_but...) was hit by a ransomware attack on Friday night, disrupting operations at Brussels Airport, London Heathrow, Berlin and Dublin airports.

Media are reporting that apparently Loki Locker ransomware was used. Check in desks are reverting to pen and paper, and many flights have been cancelled. More disruptions and cancellations are expected tomorrow (Monday September 22nd).
