Yeah. I found pictures of feet before I found their products.

I guess they assume visitors usually arrive at the home page rather than a blog post. A quick note/link in the blog post might be helpful for those of us stumbling around.

I use KATWARN because the local refinary, usually downwind of where I live, is required to announce if there is an incident (within 48 hours, probably).

If done correctly!

I was unlucky and it was extremely painful. It also resulted in a very minor permanent facial droop.

My tabs are a convenientish curated list. It is wasteful and I hate it. At worst (best?) I've taken to sending a tab to another device as a way of dismissing it for later.

I hope someone jumps on the language model hype and makes an extension that summarizes what I have read, seen, and done on the web. Perhaps with a choice screenshot or two.

I don't need a tree of pages, a spreadsheet, or a pie chart of time wasted on hn. I spent my time here on purpose, show me or tell me why. Remind me of the topics so I can close the tab and come back to it easily when needed.

Have a bunch of them that release at regular intervals and float up to the surface.

Where it is and what is wrong would be a good start.

I think it's weird because the example they used of the birthday is trying too hard to be family-friendly and social.

The HoloLens had some great examples of highlighting where to hit a mechanism to make it work. I have no idea if it was any good in reality.

That doesn't work for Apple, at least not for advertising.

I think it would have been neat to have shown a sports person/dancer/musician looking through the eyes of their instructor to correct their posture, etc. Or at least show them reviewing the recording together.

I'm hoping for more of a Dennou Coil future myself.

I agree.

"pulling guns on ordinary people is pretty chilling: That just doesn't happen now."

"Ordinary" people seems like an important criteria here. The police still shoot people and raided the ABC not that long ago.

The risk is real and reasonable if one is willing to rationalise it as a hobby / learning / playing with hardware and a trivial amount of soldering.

In my case I wanted to play with sensors and the pico w. A pi with a sprinkling of c#, Nats, and influxdb connects, controls Ikea stuff, and reports all the things.

Micropython on the pico is not my favourite part of the process but it might have been faster for me than just writing in c.
