That is actually included in the amendment, the should seem to be a softening to allow for airline discretion for medical devices etc.

ICAO Technical Instructions (Part 8, Table 8-1 amendment):

“Spare batteries, including power banks: must not be recharged on board the aircraft; should not be used to charge portable electronic devices on board the aircraft; the number carried is limited to a maximum of two per person.”

I’ve been using split boards since the original Microsoft Natural Keyboard, the one with the awful number pad. Then a Kinesis Advantage, then the 360. The DIY boards like a Lily58, Corne and a similar custom are mostly for travel.

Switching to split or ortholinear takes time. Doing both together is a significant and slightly annoying adjustment and takes a few weeks to feel normal. The payoff is when you lean into it. Home row mods so the home keys become ctrl shift alt meta when held, plus a thumb layer for navigation so you get vim-style movement everywhere, and a symbols layer for the stuff not on the top row.

Two thumb keys per side works well. Layer on both sides, enter on one thumb, space on the other. About 6x4 per side is the sweet spot for me. A function row on things like the Advantage 2 or Glove80 can be handy.

If you want to try it in steps, the Kinesis mWave is a decent bridge. Split but not ortholinear, full keyset so you don’t have to relearn everything at once, mechanical, runs ZMK, and in US pricing it’s very cheap for what it is, roughly $120.

Why did this fall of the front page so quickly? Older posts with less points are still there?

There should be an IKEA for medical devices relying on scale to absorb design, testing and regulatory compliance.

The AirPod hearing aid feature and other OTC hearing aids from headphone manufacturers demonstrate it’s possible to leverage modern consumer electronics improvements for devices with a higher engineering barrier to entry than a wheelchair.

I think paying a premium for anything via insurance is detrimental to markets and only benefits bottom feeding bandits and deferring or deflecting the cost.

When combined with the rate limiting on 365 email api and ultimately removing imap access this seems like a strategic goal to capture our data.

The dark patterns pushing content to one drive from office apps and web access opening attachments and keeping them in one drive is another example of this data grab.

It’s an example of shareholder value trumping customer value, the primary purpose of cloud is to make you pay more without having to provide more in return.

They didn’t think too hard about the name.

Jupe pronounced like dupe.

dupe -to trick or cheat someone.

Thank you for the clarification.

I think you are saying the attacker did or could have aquired the encrypted customer credentials but not the decryption key.

If that is the case could provide some more detail about the type of encryption to reassure us that it can not be brute forced.

The wording is concerning, the “including” suggests the breach could be wider.

I’d like to see a more explicit statement that lets us know things like GitHub credentials for source code integration have not been compromised.

“our initial forensic research indicates the unauthorized party accessed data about your account, including:

Rollbar usernames and user email addresses Account names Project and environment names Project access tokens Project service link configuration”

| quality regulations have been reduced (see: Grenfell where that literally killed people.

Grenfell was a horrible tragedy. It was built as social housing in the 50’s or 60’s to a much higher standard (in terms of space and utility) than the so called luxury apartments of Canary Wharf.

The installation of cladding to modernise the building to meet modern energy efficiency standards and the apparent failure to make sure that work was completed within the regulations seems to be the cause of the catastrophic spread of the fire.

London planning is a complete mess. We waste millions on poorly executed projects to modernise social housing to save on CO2 emissions and at the same time we have the wealthy living in Victorian and older houses that are not allowed to install double glazing in order “to preserve the character of the property”.
