Everything you're saying here is correct. It operates on the power of naivety.

Anytime the strong encryption debate comes up it's actually about maintaining the effectiveness of unencrypted surveillance in the AI era.

Amazing, can’t wait to try this out!

On a similar note, I’d love to replace Aerials on tvOS with my own videos. I have yet to figure out how to craft a working data feed that the tvOS will accept using the secret mode that I believe is used in the retail store displays.

THIS WAS THE ISSUE 100% - every single time I rode in a car with an iPhone connected to the ICE, that damn U2 album would autoplay.

Dear EU Santa, please force Meta to open source the Facebook Portal as well so I can repurpose relatively decent hardware for something useful and fun, rather than e-waste.

This software and the hacking scene around it are amazing!

I’ve got a Dreame L10s Ultra based on the compatibly guide. Joined my local Telegram group, grabbed a USB board, and the same day was interfacing with the vacuum’s Android OS. Once I started SSHing in to upload custom sounds, I couldn’t stop. Way easier than I expected.

Anyone using a half-Gmail / half-personal IMAP server to handle the reality that keeping 20+ years or email in Gmail will bump into the storage quota? I'm around 99.5% usage and just slowly deleting ancient emails with large attachments to make it another month.

Dovecot in my homelab seem doable to have an IMAP server to transfer the Gmail based emails to and maintain them indefinitely but would this be a maintenance headache? I've never operated it before and am curious.

Thank you for the clarification!

While reviewing the prompt's capabilities, I had an idea: implementing a Greasemonkey/Userscript-style system, where users could inject custom JavaScript or prompts based on URLs, could be a powerful way to enhance website interactions.

For instance, consider a banking website with a cumbersome data export process that requires extra steps to make the data usable. Imagine being able to add a custom button to their UI (or define a custom MCP function) specifically for that URL, which could automatically pull and format the data into a more convenient format for plain text accounting.

Why obfuscate the LLM system prompt in your Github repo when it's going to be completely visible in the network inspector?

RIP to the Living Computers: Museum in Seattle… the last place I was ever able to use one of these machines in the flesh.

I'm fascinated by the "family memory TV" idea. Losing cherished memories—photos, videos, or writings—is a recurring fear of mine and a big reason I’ve embraced digital hoarding. Having a place to share this with yourself and others is really powerful.

Could you share more details about your setup? Do videos play continuously in your living room, or are they triggered by presence? Is sound muted or do you just have it at a lower level?

Subaru's in-vehicle entertainment technology has long been criticized, even before features like CarPlay became standard. Take my 2012 WRX, for example—its Bluetooth reception was the worst I've ever experienced in a Bluetooth-equipped vehicle. Audio feeds would randomly pop and drop out during podcasts, even when the phone was within a two-foot radius of the deck.

Over the years, I tried multiple iOS and Android phones, but nothing improved the situation. Ultimately, the only solution was a complete deck replacement. Now, I’m using a "Joying" Android head unit with a rip-off version of CarPlay, which has finally resolved these issues.
