Wikipedia has google translate (2006) pre-dating android (2008) by 2 years. Iphone was 2007. It has improved significantly since, but it was pretty good even then. Adequate enough to communicate with foreign language speakers. I used to use it to email a japanese penpal, and while it may not have been perfect, it was understandable even then.

Cool, but not at all what is happening here. She spent 30 minute in a suborbital hop. Nothing here is groundbreaking or new, its just a photo-op.

Not news, marketing.

I mostly like it, but over the last few months I’ve had my pihole die randomly during the day, which killed my home network, and I had to walk my partner through rebooting everything.

I’ve now got redundant pihole instances, but I’d really like to know what is going wrong with pihole. Its impossible to replicate, and very sporadic.

Went through the local PC shop, so not too bad, but still frustrating.

I’ve seen a few posts on reddit while trying to solve it, but no idea how widespread the issue is. There certainly isnt a solution that I’ve found yet.

Other than this issue, I agree, protect is quite good, but there isnt much point having nice 4k cameras if they dont work correctly…

Oh, also, had 2 cloudkeys develop disk problems within weeks of owning them, so that was very annoying. 3rd one is going strong though.

Get ready to see lots of this in your future:

No explanation, the connection is fine, the cloudkey is fine, the camera is fine, it just randomly decides to drop quality permanently.

I rely on the developers putting in a health check, but few do.

I’ve also got uptime kuma setup, which is kinda like an external healthcheck.

This isnt really the same as a health check. PS just checks that the process is up and running, but it could be lagging or deadlocked, or the socket closed.

A proper healthcheck checks if the application is actually healthy and behaving correctly.

Those are rookie numbers, mine are definitely yellowing and cracking :(

If timers on the bios aren’t an option, look for the settings to power on after power outage. If you turn it on, you can use a standard timer plug to turn the power on and off.

If you hold the number it can’t get recycled into distribution. Signal does fall back to MFA codes over SMS from memory (I’ve recovered the signal account for my grandma, as I own the number), so anyone who controls the number controls the account.

I understand, I’m where I’m at by chance, and I wouldnt want to try a different path either. I did go down the robotics/compsci path, but didn’t end up in either of those fields, so you never know how things will end up.

I’m more thinking along the lines of getting a cheap sim, signing up for signal and them letting the plan lapse and the number is released for use again. And then someone buys a new plan, but gets the recycled number. Not sure how realistic that is as a risk vector though.

This is definitely a shower thought. Good news, at 24 there is plenty of time to backtrack and reroute.

I’m a bit similar, I am only in my current career because I responded to an job ad email that was later rescinded.

Charitable explanation: by allowing people to use WhatsApp/signal etc without holding onto the sim card, it opens them up to risk that someone else gains control of the phone number, and can then take over that account.

But that doesnt really require that the number stays in the same phone, just under the same persons control. Periodic SMS code check-in would be sufficient.

I usually do the later when it happens to me.

Chill out, I explicitly said that bars should be appropriately cutting people off. That would be long before they are drunk. If they can’t do that, they lose their licencing and ability to sell alcohol.

Fortunately, drunks at home have never hurt themselves or their families. /s

I dont drink at all, so you can keep your assumptions about my social life to yourself.

And no one is talking about peer pressuring others to drink, where did you get that idea from?

You can get breathalysers that use straws for mouth pieces. I think they are used in workplaces (mines etc)?

But ideally, much better to have proper infrastructure alternatives. 0.05 is the legal limit, its not the same as the “safe” level.

Good point. No easy answers :(
