My girlfriend's Facebook got stolen via a novel technique a few years ago: https://www.reddit.com/r/facebook/comments/14nbp1a/major_fac...

Once the hacker got in, they enabled PGP with a random key to prevent the account recovery process from working. It took many, many months to get the account back after the attacker used the account to max out advertising spend. Meta did and does not care.

I realize now: why would they change anything? They made money off of the interaction

The government does subsidize basic banking, though?

This is a good joke because they spent $2.4B on marketing in FY25

There’s this crazy thing that happens where you need to use carbon to decarbonize.

Solar panels are made in factories where energy and inputs are cheaper and then shipped on diesel cargo ships to the rest of the world.

Our cars run on gas, so we need new electric ones, but the ships and car carriers are themselves… not electric yet.

Because energy is more expensive, everything is more expensive, including electrification.

MPEG-TS is used to contain h264 chunks for HLS. MPEG-DASH and the new CMAF standard use fMP4 containers instead. My personal take is that Media over QUIC (MoQ) should support both.

HLS also supports fMP4 now and no one is making new services that use TS (there are some old ones still around with too much friction to switch)

The nice thing about fMP4 is that it's supported by both HLS and MPEG-DASH, so you can save yourself the effort of duplicating all data at the CDN level (or using a CDN that can just-in-time assemble fMP4 and M2TS files from the same underlying source).

The design is skeuomorphic, modeled after a standard bifold wallet which gives your physical cards the same treatment.

My current wallet doesn't give me any affordances: https://grifiti.com/products/grifiti-band-joes-3-25-x-1-25-i...

your current wallet lets you add labels or stickers to your cards.

classic Apple situation - look, this is super clean, intuitive software! but if you want a reasonable level of flexibility that you would expect elsewhere, you are SOL.

A prepared `PRAGMA data_version` is likely quite cheap to run because it hits the same page every time…

…but some other push-based IPC mechanism would be a lot more battery friendly

Jack Ma comes to mind: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Ma#During_tech_crackdown

  Ma's voting rights were reduced from 50% to 6%.

Tempted to buy cal.zone or cal.sucks just to add the paid features to cal.diy. They even made a list!

  Teams, Organizations, Insights, Workflows, SSO/SAML, and other EE-only features have been removed

cal.ws is $630 on Namecheap... the tokens required to build this are cheaper than the domain.

Bonus: if you pick cal.zone you can have fun with pizza puns.

Perfect recipe to launch a cheesy saas.

Swiss as a service?

Your guess is as gouda's mine

I'm surprised cal.zone is not taken already

It still isn't taken but it's now $20k.

It has been $20k for a while now and I’ve admittedly been looking for excuses to buy it

You have to install it to enable it, actually! Computer Use is also confined (read and write!) to apps that you've explicitly allowed.
