Oh, mine only seems to physically disconnect the camera and not slide anything in front of the lens. Do you have the 16?

That lens cover also seems unnecessary to me. A physical disconnect for the camera and microphone is a nice touch of Framework's laptops...

I don't believe DRM is the solution here, since it's the public posts that are being scraped. Those public posts are by default visible by everybody, so scrapers can't be stopped with DRM, unless you want to make a platform that can only be accessed by trusted applications.

Well, is there's no API, people complain that it's too closed. If there is an API, people complain that it's too open. If you don't want AI to see and use your data, don't post it publicly. Attaching a license or terms could make clear what can and cannot be done with the data, but enforcement will be hard.

My opinion is that having an API is preferable, because anything that is put out there publicly can already be scraped anyway, but an API makes 3rd party clients and other integrations possible, which is a good thing.

Land of the free, home of the brave or something. Doesn't sound very free or brave to me though. More like government mandated helicopter parenting.

Even better, Shelly. Their devices have optional cloud connectivity, but also have a local API. they're compatible with home assistant and their bluetooth sensors use the BTHome standard, which works beautifully with home assistant as well.

Indeed, just let them be responsible for waking up on time. If they wake up late, the consequences are for them. Don't want the offered solution, find your own, it's not my problem if you're late for school/whatever.

Without a doubt, that would be the first car I ever owned, a Renault 21 2.0 diesel that was about 12 years old when I bought it in 1999 of thereabouts, for slightly north of € 1000.

It had some rust, but the worst part about it was that it was slow as molasses. It would do 0-100kph in 25 seconds on a good day, with a top speed of 125 on the speedometer. I laughingly called that my highway cruise control 😁

At the same time, I have very fond memories of that car, as it allowed me to visit my then girlfriend (and current wife), and had loads of cargo space. It also handled speed bumps incredibly well, so I didn't really need to slow down for them. It also helped that I never had any reliability issues with that thing, until it was totaled.

Damn, it costs even a lot more than my Zero (which I like a lot). On top of that, it's basically a moped with limited range (ok, halfway decent for a moped, but come on).

That said, if this kind of look is your thing, RGNT has you covered for less money, while offering more range.

With the important sidenote that the protective gear has an abrasion rafting that's only valid with the default protectors installed. If you remove them, the abrasion protection of the garment will likely be a bit lower.

Barftastic!

They do however state that they will add these destinations in October. Will any EU countries still be missing out when those will have been added?

The social stuff may be bloat to you, but it helps me to see which friends are online, and let's me join their games or invite them to mine.

There's nothing that epic adds that I care about and I refuse to buy their exclusives, because that encourages them even more to keep doing that.

Steam may not be perfect, but it's pretty damn good. I have enough with GOG and Steam, and don't want to add multiple storefronts to the list of launchers on my PC.

If they offer it on steam and then sell Steam keys on their own website, that should get them the most from each sale...

Press "no tip" and sue them for hearing damage....

Seriously though, as a non American I only tip when the service or food was exceptionally good for the given establishment. People do however get paid a decent salary here, so tipping is optional.

Get a recumbent instead, or for maximum speed gains, a velomobile.

I had to scroll too far for this...

Just use the washable ones, made from organic cotton. Lower environmental impact, shorter time until potty trained as well on average. Still not as good as not putting extra people on the planet though 😁

Compared to a nice bike, they are still more expensive, but it's not ridiculous for what you get. A bike with loads of torque, ample power, fully adjustable front and rear suspension and very low running costs. I also find the belt drive rather nice. Hardly any maintenance, just check the tension a few times a year.

Take a chainsaw with you next time. If they complain that you don't have a motor, offer to demonstrate to them that you do in fact have one (without being threatening of course).
