I was just being snarky that it’s a shit and pointless exercise. It’s a delaying or hurdle rather than any real “security” (or "stop the user futzing with your stuff). And I agree with you, most people won’t buy it, and being available isn’t changing much. It’s just the same as all the other “security” screw heads out there. It’s just a hurdle.
The easiest way to get around all this is just to not buy BMW (or any other manufacturer that pulls this shit)
EDIT: nice username too :D
How long are we guessing it will take until we can find the tools on aliexpress?
True. Eggs and one basket spring to mind. Unfortunately the internet as it is has become so hostile that things like cloudflare are needed and not many competitors have the same level of infrastructure to offer equivalent services.
I’ve managed to migrate all my self hosted stuff off of CF but I can see how larger services benefit strongly from CF without any similar alternatives available.
Especially the whole free tier getting people hooked is also a reason they’ve managed to gain such popularity.
What is the point here? Thinkpads are decent laptops. They say as much. Is their issue that we hold IBM or Lenovo in high regard because we think they are doing something good? Granted, their engineers seem yo know what they are doing, but I don’t think that the company ever did anything beyond making laptops for profit.
Has a modest annual cost for weather (and other) feature. Like a few $
Are we still vulnerable if our app doesn’t use React Server Functions endpoints?
Potentially. According to the React Team, even if React Server Functions are not in-use, the vulnerability is still exploitable if React Server Components are supported.
Took me longer than I care to admit to get the origin of the name.
What do you call a fish with no eye? Fsh
The one good thing of brexit: UK isn’t beholden to this.
The bad thing is that their own laws aren’t much better. And of course all the other brexit bad stuff
I forgot about the free VPN services. Good point. But yes, the government shouldnt be the ones raising our kids. As you said, this is all about control and getting information. Nothing more.
That’s the whole point of the discussion: what does “VPN” mean in this context? Is it only these VPN providers that let you be elsewhere, or VPN technology and traffic in general. The prior could be limited by blocking traffic to specific IP addresses that belong to VPN providers, albeit in a very laborious and expensive cat and mouse game. The latter would affect all VPN traffic including that which is used to safely connect to work sites for example. Which would be stupid and damaging.
Even if VPN providers could be banned at IP level, what’s stopping you from spinning up a host in another country, setting up wireguard on that?
I understand they are frustrated that their excellent child protection plans and user information gathering is so easy to circumvent, but their proposed solutions are just absurd.
If you have a VPN then chances are you have a credit card, which means you are an adult, which means you can access porn. The VPN is your age verification :)

I have no idea. found in UK at time post was made if that helps ID
should’ve added a link https://gitlab.futo.org/videostreaming/Grayjay.Desktop
Great write up, thanks. But I use grayjay desktop on an x64 machine. There’s definitely a desktop app for itoutaode of ARM devices.
A lot of good stuff here. Especially realising how useful an LLM actually is for coding. It’s a tool and like most tools has a purpose and a limit. I don’t use a screwdriver to put in nails (well sometimes I do at a pinch, but the results suck) or cut wood in half. Spicy autocomplete is probably a good use case, but even then “use with care” should be employed.
The whole “prompt it correctly” stuff is pn point. People have written books on how to correctly and effectively prompt the LLM. If I need to read a book to learn something, why not just read the book on how to do the thing? Or use the LLM to summarise the book, then at least you’re going to get somewhat accurate information. We had someone create an
AGENTS.mdat work and I read it and it just sounds like a joke “You are expert in this and the human known everything. If unsure ask the human” etc. If the main gain is that I don’t need to type so much I might as well use voice dictation.That is aside the financial, environmental, health, and safety issues and damages that are all bundled in for free. If people just saw it for what it is, instead of glamourising them as the panacea for all their problems.
