Substack, no thanks.

The security implications are one thing, but another issue to me with email codes is that you now have to wait for an email to arrive. At worst this can take a few minutes, at which point I'm no longer interested in logging in, unless it was for something I absolutely have to do. At best I have to open my mail client or log in to the webmail, while with a password or passkey all I need is Keepass running.

The one thing I know Anker for is that they were uploading the feeds of their doorbell cameras without encryption (even though they claimed e2ee), and iirc they were also uploading thumbnails of these cameras to a publicly accessible S3 bucket, and consistently lying about it all.

So no, I don't think they're very reputable at all.

Apple doesn't keep their emoji list up to date. Apple invents new emojis, implements them, and once enough people are using it, unicode will pretty much have to incorporate it. They're pretty much to emojis what google is to web standards.

What do you mean "I'd say"? It's obviously a fact. Github copilot uses an llm for its autocomplete, so obviously it falls under llm generated code.

AI auto complete is still generative AI, why would that be any different? Unless you're talking about regular intellisense-like auto complete, which of course does not use generative AI at all, which would obviously be fine.

idk, they probably tried to get people on DC's as close to their location as possible. Using your phone number's country code might seem like a good way to do this at first, and they probably didn't give it much more thought before building the whole thing on this idea.

Yes, but existing software has already been built around the scenario of only accepting request methods you actually handle.

Yes. They want to get rid of immigrants for example.

The point is that if you do that, you end up with lots of undefined behaviour in existing software that has not been patched yet.

If you make it a whole new request method, existing unpatched software should just respond with "Method not allowed".

It's free for personal use, and for a company 96/year is absolutely nothing, I'd hope.

I don't think that's the case. I have the Earth View extension installed which shows a random google earth image.

I have this set as my homepage in Firefox as moz-extension://<extension-id>/index.html, and this has not changed since installing the extension. The page still works.

According to the article, they did have a human verify the images before sending the alert. Apparently they and the school still think they made the right call.

> A typeface is the design; a font is its specific instance. This is basic knowledge, taught to children, houseplants, and most domesticated goats.

I didn't know this, and this explanation isn't really helping. (I did know there's a difference between typeface and font, but no idea what).

Why would this be basic knowledge when all most people ever have to deal with is the font options in Word?
