So glad my TV is a dumb-as-shit model from the early 00s I bought secondhand for about $30

Under the benevolent gaze of Richard Stallman’s fursona.

Which is great news if you’re a Mossad agent tasked with figuring out a target’s life patterns

Require printers to check digital signatures on STL files and have only approved slicers add those

Tim Cook thought he had saved Apple’s stock valuation by giving Trump his fake award, but, like the businessman who pays protection money, he merely marked Apple out as pliable. Now it’s the Apple News “radical left bias”. After Cook personally intervenes and gets the algorithm to deprioritise The Guardian and Mother Jones and boost Fox News and The Daily Stormer, Apple stock will shoot up for a week or two, only to be brought low by a complaint about Apple TV shows being “woke”. Then they’ll have to drop some non-white and LGBT characters, commission a Turner Diaries show and hastily rewrite the next Ted Lasso season to work in a Great Replacement storyline, which will work until the next complaint.

An unfortunate name in the German-speaking world.

Police have UPS-like devices which splice into existing mains cables to keep machines alive on the way into the forensics lab. Presumably it’s standard practice to use those.

Of course, the server could be configured to wipe itself if it loses connectivity for more than a few seconds, or its routing changes. The police would need devices that route Ethernet traffic over 5G, though those would presumably be detectable as bandwidth goes down and latency goes up.

Being able to set up personally hosted RSS feeds would be useful. If the feeds are fetched periodically, that could also allow archiving of accounts.

Or even if it could provide RSS feeds of accounts, for following in a RSS reader.

Though excellent work!

Was the video made in Australia or New Zealand by any chance? There are two Microbees (Z80-based computers from New Zealand, virtually unheard of in the northern hemisphere) in the photo,

I can vouch for Mythic Beasts

He should be awarded a prize for services to womens’ horticulture, given the number of women at MIT who filled their offices with houseplants just to keep him away.

Surely when number goes up far enough, it magically gains sentience and godlike powers

The finish looks impressive for a print. Which filament did you use?

This one looks like an uglier version of Optimus. Not sure if it can be any worse to use, though.

On the other hand, a few well-connected people would miss out on sizeable profits, so who’s to say which option is better?

It’ll be longer. AI will be there to accelerate the cadence, turning “knowledge workers” from artisans who have the relative luxury of solving problems autonomously at their workstations intro assembly-line labour who hurriedly sling prompts and patch up botshit.

The problem is that GPS signals are weak, and generally need a line of sight to the sky. Phones don’t rely on GPS alone, but also get location data by triangulating base stations and/or querying databases of WiFi SSIDs over the internet. And AirTags don’t contain either a GPS receiver or an internet connection: they’re just simple, low-power Bluetooth beacons which send an encrypted ID to any nearby iPhones, which add their locations and forward it to Apple.

Basically, all the smarts are in Apple’s infrastructure (including the numerous privately-owned devices running Apple’s location services). Replicating this without a network of roving receivers is a nonstarter.
