2022 was a bleak year 😢
This is what the actual marketing photo looks like btw
Most other pictures of the inside also look like this, I think the other photo sliced them with a sharp knife

Occam's Razor: what's the simplest explanation for a red stain outdoors? Rust. But I hope someone makes sure it's not something worse.

Brooklyn electronics company Adafruit hit with surprise $36K tariff bill: "pay in one week"

Not only that, but they make a LOT of libraries that make using those sensors WAY easier. Arduino, CircuitPython, and more. And lots of well-written tutorials! They care, and it shows. They don't deserve these tariffs...

Proton getting big encourages centralization
The average person is not going to sign up and pay for 10 different things, even if it's slightly more private. Proton is similar to Google in that it's free and has a lot of things with one account, but vastly different in the way the data is handled, probably the most meaningful difference. I mean the best thing you can do is self host but it's obviously not something everyone can or wants to do. So there's nothing wrong with taking the next best thing.

Anubis - Weighs the soul of incoming HTTP requests using proof-of-work to stop AI crawlers
Why Sha256? Literally every processor has a crypto accelerator and will easily pass. And datacenter servers have beefy server CPUs. This is only effective against no-JS scrapers. It seems to me that anything that uses a Chromium driver to scrape will be completely ignored... which is increasingly most of them.

No, it's expensive to comply (at a massive scale), but easy to avoid. Just change the user agent. There's even a dedicated extension for bypassing Anubis.
Even then AI servers have plenty of compute, it realistically doesn’t cost much. Maybe like a thousandth of a cent per solve? They're spending billions on GPU power, they don't care.
I've been saying this since day 1 of Anubis but nobody wants to hear it.

And when GPT-5 stops doing this, all of a sudden it's a bug and they want 4o back.

Use the OS battery charge limiter (or Magisk "ACC" module). Most phones have the capability to bypass the battery and draw from the adapter. Keep it cool and at 60%, and it won't get spicy. Heat, cycles, and high/low voltages kill batteries, so by avoiding all of those they'll stay unspicy.

We Mass-Deployed 15-Year-Old Screen Sharing Technology and It's Actually Better
This seems like a silly workaround at first but it's really not. If the network is unreliable, you can't really use normal video streaming, you need to send full screenshots. Probably still a better idea to use only I-frames than a bunch of JPEGs but whatever.
But they did make some very silly mistakes. Par for the course of an AI coding company I guess.
I probably missed some but even for an AI company this is really bad

Arch Linux Website Hit by DDoS and Temporarily Limited to IPv6
Why ipv6 only though? Is there something about it that makes it more resilient to DDOS? If a device on the botnet has both ipv4 and ipv6 I don't see how it's mitigated

MSNBC to rebrand
This looks like a fake TV station they'd have in a movie or something. Especially the logo...
If I had a nickel for each time a major company changed their logo from a recognizable bird to something completely generic, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird it's happened twice

How Android handles Hi-Res audio: An audiophile's guide to the best sound
Reply in thread
"Results showed a small but statistically significant ability of test subjects to discriminate high resolution content, and this effect increased dramatically when test subjects received extensive training."
Basically, people can just barely detect high res audio but it's not much better than a coin flip. If you have lots of experience you're more accurate but not by a whole lot.
Anyway 48kHz sampling can produce up to 24kHz and the human limit is like 20kHz. Most songs don't have 96db of dynamic range, and 120db is hearing damage, so the idea that the average person can easily hear the difference is not true.
