I work in the healthcare industry. Our hospitals have a line with the CDC, and are getting updated with live data. A public-facing website isn't the primary way of disseminating this data.

In what way is this incompetent? They can only update when the data is confirmed. Once daily seems reasonable to me.

Pretty difficult to pass that off as crab, if they come still in the shell, like I've seen at every buffet I've been to.

Granted, I haven't been to a buffet in over a decade. They seem to have died out entirely near me.

Still gotta line it up.

My TV is blocked from communicating outside my network by a MAC-based IPTABLES rule on my router.

I would just entirely disable WiFi on the thing, but guess what? Once you set the wireless up, there's no way to erase that data from the TV again. But allowing the TV to be on the network but not on the internet allows me to use some IoT features locally, so it's an alright compromise by me for now.

I would buy a dumb TV in a heartbeat, next time I upgrade. If there's one available.

DDG is an entirely different search engine, they don't use Google.

If you want to build your own engine, go ahead :)

It's quite common on country roads in upstate NY, too. I'm not sure why the author tried to posit it as something that could only happen in severely low-crime areas.

Flying Buffalo, Inc. still runs traditional PBM games.

Just follow your hostname with a / to get around that. It's muscle memory for me at this point.

My FiiO M9 does a real good job at random. But the UI leaves a lot to be desired.

Modern hi-range IEMs come with a cleaning tool. Use it to clean the wax out, and they'll keep trucking. :)

I had one of the original 2012 Model B's (with the 256MB RAM) serving as a simple web server for years. I just recently retired it in favor of a VM.

Other than that, I have:

- A RetroPie attached to my living room TV

- A Zynthian (http://zynthian.org/)

- A PiDP-11 (https://obsolescence.wixsite.com/obsolescence/pidp-11)

In the past, I've played around with them, making:

- A touch-screen enabled stand-alone SunVox synth

- A home audio server attached to my stereo

- An experiment to read MIDI files from floppy disks, also attached to the stereo

I have a couple spares laying around waiting for use cases... but I'm not really antsy to get to them. I'd love to build an OTTO (https://github.com/topisani/OTTO) when it's ready for prime time. I'm also considering building some sort of portable RetroPie.
