That sucks. From the article it looks like they are at least writing the firmware, but it’s hard to tell.

I’m curious because I just ordered a couple of C210s to tinker with.

Is that true for TP-link? I always thought they were an OEM.

Regulators were less friendly back then

They can do a lot of that now with Recall even if you use Chrome.

They also want you to use their browser because they want to direct you to bing/copilot and get ad revenue from all of your clicks.

They wanted to do that with internet explorer but regulators weren’t monopoly-friendly back then.

Do you have a source for recent episodes?

I’m so frustrated that this article, and many other sources - including news programs, are not talking about the lack of alarms in the buildings. I agree that the materials and density were terrible and created a catastrophic situation for the structures, but the lack of alarms to alert residents is absolutely ridiculous and is what made this such a huge tragedy for the people who died.

If the buildings’ alarms aren’t working, then they should be on “fire watch” with 24/7 personnel ready to alert people on every floor where the alarm isn’t working. Does that cost too much? Then fix the fucking alarms as a top priority. This is especially true when there are no automatic sprinklers, which sounds like is often the case in Hong Kong.

There are reports that people were getting calls from their friends and relatives and that’s how they learned about the fire. People were waking up to the smell of smoke without an alarm going off. WTF. That’s so far beyond acceptable, I don’t know what else to say.

I travel a lot and I always bring my own smoke and CO detector with me. This is an example of why.

From other articles, it looks like they get paid to take away waste, but instead of taking it somewhere proper that costs money, they dump it illegally. They may have even purchased the land at auction for this purpose. Also, it seems like agencies have been involved since July and they failed to properly shut it down. Ouch.

I saw one estimate that they made £500k through this scheme and an estimate that it will cost £26m to clean up.

Apparently there is more garbage that is buried at the site, and some sections of the pile are heating up and may spontaneously combust, adding a whole new issue to this mess.

My bad, I started downloading The Lord of the Rings movies - Extended Edition. Sorry!

I get what you’re saying (and saw your other comment) but I didn’t come away from OP’s write up thinking DHH was only a casual racist. So if they were attempting to defend DHH’s racism they did piss poor job. The language used was soft, but the quotes speak for themselves.

I was actually confused for a minute by your big comment, because I couldn’t figure out who you were saying was defending racists.

The article definitely glossed over the racism though. That might be why OP’s language was soft. They were responding to the article’s accusations - which were almost in passing - and in that context the language kind of matches. By pulling that out of the article and making it prominent in their write up, i think OP made it much more clear and couldn’t possibly be doing it to defend DHH.

Yeah this is scary, especially given the number of people who visit.

However, this may be a case where things locked down (in a futile attempt to contain the thieves), as opposed to a fire. This still isn’t great, especially if it was someone who wanted to hurt people, but it’s probably why it happened.

Read the article, the 900% increase is only for the most expensive rooms.

“This immediately impacts Russia because Delhi is now on the phone with Putin in Moscow, and Narendra Modi asks him, ‘Hey, I support you, but could you explain to me the strategy because I have now been hit by 50 per cent tariffs by the United States’,” Mr Rutte said, in the interview published on Sept 25.

Sounds like he was talking about a hypothetical call to me.

Something something false prophets blah blah blah…

Why mark this as NSFW?

It’s marketing making them think they want to own that stuff.

Developers rarely control the tools budget; their managers do.

So this whole article is a moot point

Developers detest marketing. If you want to sell them a tool, make it easy for them to find the information they need and leave them alone to try out your tool.

So marketing does work, just not “traditional” or “mainstream” marketing. We’ve had shareware since the beginning times, which was the ultimate try before you buy. Now we have the subscription model (fbow).

Yeah I’d like to think I’m better than marketing, but really, it just takes the right marketing, and I’m putty in their hands.

Yeah maybe that’s what it was for me, too: a gut feeling that something was off about the videos.

I think I like Astrum, but I feel like some of their videos go over the edge into conspiracy nut territory.

(Anyone else feel like we should recommend putting the channel in the post title, like “[Astrum] I Might Stop Making Videos About NASA”?)

I haven’t been following Atlassian recently and was wondering if you were just tossing that out there… But no, that is literally their plan:

This deal is a bold step forward in reimagining the browser for knowledge work in the AI era,” Mike Cannon-Brookes, Atlassian’s CEO and co-founder, said in a statement.

“Together, we’ll create an AI-powered browser optimized for the many SaaS applications living in tabs – one that knowledge workers will love to use every day,” he added.
