My current bugbear with QR codes is that lots of folks have started putting their company logo in the middle of the code.
Sure it still works but it makes the error correction work harder so your users need to be nearer or have better cameras than they would otherwise. Annoying.
I wish someone would take a look at ‘Clubcard Prices’ and ‘Nectar Prices’ etc. Ie discounts if you have the loyalty card.
I’m sure they’re just a way to circumvent trading standards legislation about needing to have been on sale at the higher price before starting a sale. Because it’s not a sale is a ‘club price’. The store can show a massive discount when it was never on sale at the undiscounted price anyway.
Concepts of a deal
Yeah. The thing is that full retail price is hiked up, not the normal price. Side stepping the legislation designed to prevent this kind of behavior.
Not in every instance but for sure it does happen. Some of those ‘non member’ prices are so high as to be laughable.
Trump told Fox & Friends that he felt Harris was “awfully familiar” with the questions as he debated her.
It’s called preparation you bellend.
Was it left outside in the rain?
On a national poll the dems need to be about 5 points ahead to be in with a shot of taking the electoral college.
This is a step in the right direction, lots of work to do though. I’m hopeful the more folks see of Harris, rather than their pre-existing largely meme originated opinions, the more they’ll like her.
That AI bubble sure is getting plenty of air pumped in.
TikTok spider has been a real offender for me. For one site I host it burred through 3TB of data over 2 months requesting the same 500 images over and over. It was ignoring the robots.txt too, I ended up having to block their user agent.
One thing the EU got right was reducing interchange fees to 0.5%. The ridiculous situation in the US where airlines have become credit card companies that happen to have planes is madness.
Folks might like kickbacks but they’re paying for them anyway, it’s just hidden in the price and subsidised by folks who don’t use these cards.
The US should follow the EU’s lead here.
Heres a video of him saying “that plays great before the election. Now we don’t care”
Sorry for the Facebook link!
Surely most of the target audience for this game has already played it on another platform anyway. It’s been out since 2017.
He’s going to keep saying it while people keep reporting it so urgently. Anything to get back into the news after the Dem’s stole the spotlight for a bit.
They’ve committed to support AM5 (the LGA socket launched 2022) through at least 2027.

“We envision other types of more complex guardrails should exist in the future, especially for agentic use cases, e.g., the modern Internet is loaded with safeguards that range from web browsers that detect unsafe websites to ML-based spam classifiers for phishing attempts,” the research paper says.
The thing is folks know how the safeguards for the ‘modern internet’ actually work and are generally straightforward code. Where as LLMs are kinda the opposite, some mathematical model that spews out answers. Product managers thinking it can be corralled to behave in a specific, incorruptible way, I suspect will be disappointed.
You could start with this People Make Games video from a couple of years ago. https://youtu.be/_gXlauRB1EQ?si=Ttg4-Bust1K-X-22

What does ‘unaffordable with fiat currencies’ even mean? This guy knows you can divide BTC right?
Maybe the Saudis and Qataris will chip in some more cash to help him out.
The thing with serverless is you’re paying for iowait. In a regular server, like an EC2 or Fargate instance, when one thread is waiting for a reply from a disk or network operation the server can do something else. With serverless you only have one thread so you’re paying for this time even though it’s not actually using any CPU.
While you’re paying for that time you can bet that CPU thread is busy servicing some other customer and also charging them.
I like serverless for it’s general reliability, it’s one less thing to worry about, and it is cheap when you start out thanks to generous free tiers, at scale it’s a more complex answer as whether it is good value or not.
If you ask me what’s absurd is clinging on to Biden against all the evidence. He’s clearly super unpopular, and that’s in no small part to his age.
He must step aside and basically any halfway reasonable candidate under 60 would be in with a decent shot of the job. Give the population something to vote for rather than vote against.
Just saw this a few hours ago. If it wasn’t for this post I think I’d have forgotten about it already.
I guess it’s fine, just entirely unremarkable.
He called the software integration between the two companies “an unacceptable security violation,” and said Apple has “no clue what’s actually going on.”
I’d be very surprised if corporates wouldn’t just be able to disable it in MDM for their worker’s phones. Not sure it’s Apple who has ‘no clue’ here.
Well she’s not going to say otherwise at this point is she? Plenty of opportunity to ‘reflect on my choice and offer my service to the country’ if he does step down.
It is a party of grievance and a campaign of grievance…. It's exhausting, it's unattractive, it makes us feel bad."
My only hope for the election is that folks are finally tired of grievance politics.
Yeah the PS5 controller is about the only innovative part of this console generation. The adaptive triggers and haptics are just great. I use one on the PC and for the games that support the extra features they really do add an extra dimension.
Not bullshit. They’re not talking about the heckle they’re talking about the 10 seconds of chanting at 7:18. Watch again. https://youtu.be/2soe8ml_weg?si=uJqnlGGNU4SF8im_
Credibility: High Factual Reporting: Mostly Factual
IMO it would be better to highlight factuality over credibility in the <summary>.</summary>
Thanks for the suggestion, turns out there are no cache headers on these images. They indeed never change, I’ll try that update. Thanks again
If they keep burning $100k/w on their Vercel bill they might not be around that long anyway!
There wouldn’t be new primaries. Biden’s pledged delegates would be released to do whatever they want. Obviously that has its own share of, small d, democratic concerns, but the better choice if you ask me.
Awesome!
Was expecting this to be Xbox/PC exclusive but looks like it’s getting a PS5 release too.
Yeah I thought it was a NPU tops issue that’s keeping it off the 17 non pro. However since it runs on a M1 I think it’s more to do with needing 8GB RAM to fit the model.
It thought those pledges were just for Activison / blizzard stuff. The Bethesda purchase was before regulators started taking an interest. The new Indiana Jones is an Xbox exclusive Bethesda game for example.
I’ve been tracking the odds on Betfair. They have moved from 1.54 to 1.58 (decimal odds, 1 is dead cert, 2 is 50/50), so very marginally less likely Trump win. ‘Slumped’ they have not.
Harris is at 5.4 and Biden way behind at 15.5.
What conspiracy theory? The Saudis and Qataris have stakes in Twitter.
Qatar Holding, a sovereign wealth fund, is contributing $375m, while Saudi Arabian investor Prince Alwaleed bin Talal, who had initially opposed the buyout, also confirmed he would retain his $1.9bn stake in Twitter, writing that Mr Musk would be an "excellent leader" for the site.
There are no M1 devices with less than 8GB of RAM.
In the UK they’re called ‘idents’. You can find a huge collection of UK ones here https://theident.gallery/
