wdb··on What went wrong inside recalled Anker PowerCore 10000 power banks?
It's always good to check your vendors. I wouldn't limit it to Chinese vendors only. I have experienced similar issues with American or European vendors. Americans are pretty bad a fix spec issues compared to Europeans.

wdb··on Apple's Browser Engine Ban Persists, Even Under the DMA

Wondering if it is save to fly with Air India at the moment
wdb··on Benchmarking Postgres
Not sure why you would benchmark AlloyDB/Postgres running on Google Cloud against Planetscale running on AWS? Why not test it against Google Cloud Compute? Typically, there is a good reason why people using a Google Cloud Service

wdb··on Trading with Claude, and writing your own MCP server
Yeah, I wished you could somehow pass the user's id token to the MCP server when you are calling a tool when implementing an AI model. You could then either let the mcp server fetch a token using the `token-exchange` endpoint. So that it can fetch the user info (e.g. user id)

For example, when you try to integrate with AI model that supports function calling in the backend and want to use MCP server to enhance the model.

I haven't figured that out yet. Maybe you would need to use Client-Initiated Backchannel Authentication Flow ?
