oritsnile··on US Court nullifies FTC requirement for click-to-cancel
The same is true for Europe. I've never had an issue returning items on Amazon, whether they're for personal or business use (where you don't have the right to return items). The same goes for local and European chains.

oritsnile··on Rye: A Vision Continued
I really like Rye and have used it a lot. Lately I've been using pixi more and more because of its cross-platform locking support, since I develop on Mac and deploy mostly to Linux. It also supports all cobda packages, which can be a big advantage.
oritsnile··on Compressing Text into Images
There is the Compression Streams API which hast gzip and deflate support, but it pretty new. Firefox supports it since halfe a year.

oritsnile··on Deno 1.39: The Return of WebGPU
Just yesterday I was looking to play around with webGPU and found the 1.8 release page. I had no idea it was removed. I hope that webGPU will gain adaptation as the best cross platform system. The incompatibility between platforms for openGL or Vulkan always made me not want to learn it.
oritsnile··on Make Apps for Linux
I recently tried to create an executable from a Python script, Mac and Windows worked wonderfully, on Linux I had massive problems when I tried to run it in a different system then it was packaged. Linux caused the most problems, in the end I decided it was not worth it, 99% use Windows or Mac anyway.
oritsnile··on You can now mix conda and PyPI packages
Looks pretty awesome. I'm currently using rye for locking, but unfortunately it only creates a lock file for the current OS. Which makes it not ideal for cross-platform Python development. Torch, for example, has different dependencies on Mac and Linux.

Wow, these customizations are crazy. Flying in airplane mode makes it look like a war zone.

Interesting that GBP has a volume of 413 million and EUR 420 million, I would have assumed that EUR is much bigger than GBP, does anyone know why they are so close? Also, interesting that the top conversion is GBP -> EUR.
oritsnile··on Berlin's indoor pools
The opening hours are actually quite good. I haven't found any on the list that are closed on Sundays. All of them are actually open from at least 10 am to 5 pm. And during the week there are also some that are open until 10.30am.
oritsnile··on Protomaps – A free and open source map of the world
That's really cool. Cloud be really use full for local businesses. They often embed Google maps, but I feels like having a map from the local are would be sufficient, and cheaper.

Not sure with this has to do with Bard, since it is just a snipped from a website,

When asking Bard "country in africa that starts with k", I get the following:

    There are 3 countries in Africa that start with the letter K:
    - Kenya
    - Kuwait
    - Kyrgyzstan
    Kenya is the most populous country that starts with K in Africa. It is located in East Africa and is known for its wildlife, including lions, elephants, and zebras. Kenya is also home to the Maasai Mara National Reserve, one of the most popular safari destinations in the world.
    Kuwait is a small country located in the Middle East. It is a major oil producer and has a high standard of living. Kuwait is a popular tourist destination, known for its beaches and desert safaris.
    Kyrgyzstan is a landlocked country located in Central Asia. It is known for its mountains and nomadic culture. Kyrgyzstan is a popular destination for hiking, skiing, and camping.
    I hope this helps!
oritsnile··on The IPv6 mess (2002)
I've noticed too would have expected that some not as developed countries would dominate ipv6 since Germany and France have about five times more v4 addresses then India.
oritsnile··on Comma 3X
There is a new unece regulation, requiring strong temper protection, which means at least CAN authentication. https://unece.org/sustainable-development/press/un-regulatio...
oritsnile··on Changes to Tailscale Pricing and Plans
I'm in the same boat, ssh is our most used feature, also quite an odd decision to give the free plan more features than the Starter.
oritsnile··on Enabling Bluetooth connections on Stadia Controllers
For sure, I've back the money for my Chromecast+stadia controller a month ago, whit this update both will still be useful, after the shutdown.
oritsnile··on Rotary Keyboard
The most interesting for is the USB 3.0 connection, on the hub. Didn't know the lanes are totally independent.
oritsnile··on Starlink signals can be reverse-engineered to work like GPS
There is also the European version of this EGNOS, besides there also private Providers like TerraStar
oritsnile··on Windows 11 x64 security hardening guide
It's crazy, if you don't separate your admin account, the UAC prompt can be bypassed due to the default settings.
oritsnile··on Asking for a date of birth (2013)
On Android you can also click on the year and it should give you a grid view of years
oritsnile··on World Bank rejects El Salvador request for Bitcoin help
But quantum computer can break currently used Public-Key Algorithms, like ECDSA, which is used by Bitcoin.
oritsnile··on Pass: The standard Unix password manager
I've used pass for a while, but I switch to bitwarden, since it has official apps for all platforms. Also with bitwarde I only have to trust them, with pass I have to trust all the different app developers.

oritsnile··on A first look at Ghidra’s Debugger – Game Boy Advance Edition
Look pretty exciting, debugging is the feature I'm always missing when working with Ghidra.

Will be intersting if ida also adds the debugger to there free version.

oritsnile··on Europe’s Startup Unicorns
GitLab suprised me, always tough is was from the US.
oritsnile··on YouTube will now show ads on all videos even if creators don’t want them
Honestly I'm quite surprised that it happened not sooner, considering how may gigabytes of video are uploaded each day, of which only a fraction makes YouTube money.
oritsnile··on So you've made a mistake and it's public
I'm out of the loop, what current events?
oritsnile··on California bullet train contractors botched bridge project
Government companies are not famous for cost efficient work, at least not in Germany. So I'm not sure if there is anything to gain, but could be different in the US.
oritsnile··on California bullet train contractors botched bridge project
There is a buy america act, which requires the government in buying from American companies, there are also federal similar laws which might be the reason here
