Got "failed to register" on your website on my phone after doing the os level fingerprint auth
sagz··on Study: Amazon uses Echo smart speaker conversations to target ads
tl;dr: This only covers interactions that are after the wake word (and hence show up on My Activity, etc).

This doesn't help prove/disprove the "these devices are listening all the time" meme

They are mac minis: https://d2908q01vomqb2.cloudfront.net/da4b9237bacccdf19c0760...

can you use an EU adapter with an NA car? can you buy one off of eBay and import?
sagz··on Why radio receivers won’t tune 800-900 MHz
enjoyed the article! in the end you mention that SDRs are mandated to carve out that band but they... don't. why is that? and how is that legal then
sagz··on Show HN: ChronoFlo – Create timelines you can share on the web
looks great. tried the US presidents timeline and UK Coronavirus timeline. I feel the contrast is too low in the US timeline.

both timelines look low-res pixelated on my hidpi phones.

scrubbing on the bottom timelines runs janky on Chrome and Samsung Internet Browser on Pixel 5. also janky on Safari on iPhone 12 pro.

sagz··on Firefox beta supports Apple silicon natively

No captions on the video and intentionally disabled YT's auto captions? Completely inaccessible video for silent consumption or to the deaf and hard of hearing.
sagz··on Transparency Report
The narrative that Apple is the bastion of good UX has sailed quite a while ago given their regressions with MacOS 10.14-10.15 bugs, iOS 13 bugs requiring major reOrgs, iPhone Battery-oriented CPU throttling with no user affordance, etc.

Also their web design has been accessibility-hostile often enough with the landing pages of Trashcan Mac Pro, iPhone 12 etc all taking over your scroll…

sagz··on iOS 14 is available today
I'm surprised they still don't have anything that comes close to Live Transcribe that Google has for Android.
sagz··on Unbricking a $2k bike with a $10 Raspberry Pi
I'm trying to create an Android recovery for a peloton, which is similar https://github.com/Goayandi/mediatek_mt8176_development/issu...
