It might be worth setting up a seperate Chromium extension store independent from Google

Did they accidentally buy UVC sterilization tubes instead of the relatively harmless UVA party lights?

First thing I was asking is the model of toothbrush that supposedly got hacked. AFAIK there are no mainstream electric toothbrushes with onboard WiFi. Both OralB and Philips use Bluetooth for their smart functionalities.

If the story was about smart ovens or washing machines I would have believed it.

Spotify does not have the power to lock your credit card or paypal account. Account bans might happen and I have seen E-Mail screenshots of people who got banned. I am not sure if they would take down an entire set of family accounts.

If you care about the content of your Spotify account (playlists, listening history) you should not use it for piracy. Just create a new one. If you are fine with 160kbps OGG files, you dont even need a paid account.

Do not create Spotify accounts with trash mail addresses, they may work at first and get banned the next day (happened to me after I created some accounts for scraping their API).

You can also export all your Spotify data as a precaution (GDPR export from the account page, they send you an email with a link to a zip file after a couple of days).

Yes, if you write the decrypted file to disk, it could be recovered. Deleting files only removes the file system entries - it does not wipe the content.

Use a local password manager. KeePass (use the KeePassXC variant on Linux) is the most popular choice. If you prefer a command line tool, pass (passwordstore.org) is an option.

And the weight. A recreational glider weighs about 600kg. They want to build one that carries 3 and later 10 tons.

If a recreational glider crashes into a house, it usually does not cause a lot of damage except to the pilot, see here:

Now make that thing 20times heavier. There is a reason drones are regulated by weight class.

RSS feeds are XML files which contain a list of documents hosted on the internet (articles, audio/video). The feed entries contain basic metadata (title, date, author, summary) and a link to the original website (or audio/video file in the case of a podcast).

Feed readers send a simple web request to the website hosting the feed, downloading it if it has changed since the last update. The content is then combined with other feeds and displayed. This way you can have a personalized news reading experience without needing to create an account at a a central provider or open every individual site.

Alternative YouTube clients use RSS feeds provided by YouTube (example: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC2DjFE7Xf11URZqWBigcVOQ), but they are only used to update subscriptions. All other requests (search, watching videos) are handled by the same web interface as the YouTube desktop application. Fetching the RSS feeds is a lot faster than opening the channel page, so the RSS featuee allows you update 100 or more channels in a few seconds.

The way podcast ads work is either just like YouTube sponsorships (the podcaster gets paid by a company to speak an advertisement themselves) or they are dynamically inserted by the podcast provider (these are the interrupting ads). Since most podcast apps dont store cookies, there is no way to track users and personalization is done only via the IP-based location and topic of the podcast. RSS-based podcast players have no way of directly reporting back playback telemetry. The server hosting the podcasts can only count the number of downloads/playbacks. So there is no way to count the amount of watched ads when using a RSS-based podcast player like AntennaPod or Kasts. Note: this does not apply to podcasts on Spotify, Apple Music or similar platforms. These platforms absolutely track your listening activity. I have no idea whether this affects ad/sponsorship earnings.

Will they replace Consolas in Windows with this one or is it a GitHub-only-thing? In Consolas the characters 1 and l look very similar, making the font unsuitable for coding and terminal use, so it would be good if they replaced it with something else.

The main issue of this would be public defamation, i.e. wrongfully portraying someone as porn actor which might destroy their career. You cant really do that with written or drawn fiction.

But for that the pictures would have to be photorealistic, which is not the case just yet. But the tech is going to improve plus the generated images could be further manipulated (i.e. add blur/noise to the image to make it look like a bad phone picture).

I think they covered it with black foam, because they do not want to reveal what camera they use.

Do they now have additional USB ports on the back side? Or do you refer to having USB modules plugged in?

They do publish some open source software like Whisper TTS. Their core products are all proprietary though.

No, it is Notepad++ and it is called like that because it is written in C++.

One important thing if you are building a RSS application is that the server should support conditional requests (the If-Modified-Since header). This way, a client does not have to download the entire feed on every update. It simply sends the last update date with its request and the server returns an empty response if the feed is up to date.

There are some applications (for example YouTube) which dont support this, resulting in higher-than-necessery data usage, especially on mobile.

You also cannot use it to store secret information like bank account/credit card details, API keys, etc.

They look like good machines if you are printing a lot and need an inkjet (like for photo printing)

If you are only using a printer occasionally for letters or shipping labels, laser printers are probably a better option. Sure, they need more space, but they cant dry out and dont require cleaning programs.

There is a projekt out there that offers a more human-readable language that compiles to plain regex.

Technically unlimited, but you obviously need to have enough storage to cache the zip files (and RAM to cache the file index). My server is very small, so I needed to set the limit low.

Bad bot, you should verify whether Piped can accept an URL and not simply link all YouTube URLs to Piped.

It does (they of course use their Azure Blob storage under the hood). Forgejo however does not (even though it supports it for releases and packages and Golang has this in their standard library).

I'll keep the idea in mind.

Oh yeah. At least they got the total amount of toes correct.

I did try out one of those image generators. Wanted a picture of two girls making out in the bathroom. The index finger of one girl was grown together with the collarbone of the other one.

What is a CD player plug?
