Really surprised that Autosleep performed so poorly. I've been using it for over a year and I'm pretty satisfied, and chose it because it was the only apple watch sleep app I could find that didn't require a monthly subscription. Admittedly I don't look at the 'score' so perhaps that's it, I just look at the overall 'quality sleep' hours and have found that tracks pretty well with how off-my-game I am that day.

Surely they threw in the trowel?

I'll see myself out...

Thanks for this. Going to be much more conscious of who is watching me type my passcode.

Wow this is really cool. I just tried the example on the homepage, that's magic! No email, username or password. Can someone explain what is happening?

Honestly, cctv is a bit pointless anyway. My bike was stolen and the police had cctv footage from a neighbour but it was no good because they had their faces covered. Unfortunately, the best way to protect a bike is a stronger shed, or a car is fit a steering wheel lock.

Is a GPU previously used for mining worth anything in the second hand market? I was under the impression it thoroughly knackered them out.

My bike was stolen on Monday and I'm honestly still grieving the loss. A bike is more than just transport, it's freedom, exercise and a million times better at clearing your head than any other mode of commute.

Potentially a dumb question but is it a bad idea to just use port forward 22 and use a (free) dns service? Can then ssh with a key as normal no?

I'm no fan of ads either but one undeniable benefit is equality; if Google cost money to use then those in poverty would simply be unable to use it. The service is paid for by the wealthiest (as these are the most valuable eyeballs to advertisers anyway).

Is there a way I can see this for myself? Ie who facebook thinks I am? Is there something similar for google or other ad networks?
