First they removed downloads and now this? Feels shitty. I used this feature weekly to watch a show with a remote friend.

Head’s up – there’s a law firm which many on RFD are talking about being served demand letters from, after repeated warnings were ignored.

Don’t worry though, the demand letters are largely baseless and unenforceable, especially since the SCoC ruled last year that service bill payers are not responsible for the actions of their network users.

You simply cannot throw a basic string search at a relational database and expect good results.

True, would something like Elasticsearch work better? What is Overpass?

I don’t see any exclamation marks here, just the Metal Gear alert sound.

Merged -> gone gold

Deployed -> gone platinum

Gone a week without crashing production -> triple platinum

• Push directly to master, not main
• No command line args, just change the global const and recompile
• No env vars either
• Port numbers only go up to 5280, the number of feet in a mile
• All auth is just a password; tokens are minority developers, not auth, and usernames are identity politics
• No hashes – it’s the gateway drug to fentanyl
• No imports. INTERNAL DEVELOPERS FIRST
• Exceptions are now illegal and therefore won’t occur, so no need to check for them
• SOAP/XML APIs only
• No support for external machines. If it’s good enough for my machine, it’s good enough for yours.

That’s a weird flex by South Canada.

The change reflects Google’s policy of adhering to official government names for geographical locations.

OK, so why am I seeing Gulf of Mexico (Gulf of America) from Canada?

So they’re one of us? Welcome to the club, outlaws!

No one thinks VPNs are “magic bullets”. I don’t know why this gets repeated ad nauseum.

Ooh, I know why! It’s because YouTubers hawk their preferred (sponsored) VPN as if it was silver bullet and that it’s dangerous to use your mobile device out in public or worse – public WiFi – without it. You can’t blame John or Jane Doe from parroting what their favourite YouTuber claimed.

As a quick note - location shared was not very precise (but still in the same postal index), I guess due to the fact that iPhone was connected to WiFi and had no SIM installed. If it was LTE, I bet the lat/lon would be much more precise.

And this was with location services off. How precise is a “postal index” in the author’s country (presumably Spain) I wonder.

I’d like to inform myself on this topic more. Have you found any discussions or observations that you could link to, by chance?

I disagree that its an obvious fail state. Surely with all of these airlines flying thousands of passengers, where users watch infotainment on their own devices, mostly with bluetooth, we’d have at least a handful or reports of spotty bluetooth on flights, right? Where are they, then?

And the entire plane wouldn’t be on Bluetooth headphones if the in-flight infotainment systems supported it as an option so what’s your point?

I assume Graphene won’t work with my employer’s MDM software. :/

No, you bring your own.

I’ve been on budget flights where in flight infotainment was an app on your phone that connects to a media server on the plane itself. Everyone was using Bluetooth and there are no issues.
