Microsoft will now urge you to ditch local accounts on Windows 10
  • I've never heard of AtlasOS until this comment. I read the documentation and it's interesting that they need you to install it using a fresh Windows ISO. I wonder what they are doing that can't be accomplished on an existing Windows installation with a bunch of Powershell scripts?

  • Congressman warns Biden to “wake up” after over 100K Michigan Democrats vote “uncommitted”
  • Are people expecting a better response to this situation from Trump? I don't see how people can expect him to be the better choice for most topics. Abstaining a vote for Biden in November is basically the same as voting for Trump

  • Online travel agent allows customers to filter out Boeing 737 Max planes
  • If people start choosing their flights based on aircraft type, it seems like the airline could just list all flights as the "good" aircraft and then automatically change it to the "bad" aircraft close to the departure date.

  • Researcher has developed, at a cost of less than one dollar, a wireless light switch that runs without batteries, can be installed anywhere on a wall and could reduce the cost of wiring a house by ...
  • I wouldn't call it "harvesting" if you have operate power transmitters on each floor of the house. "Energy harvesting" usually means you are using something that is already present in the environment.

    "each floor would have one or two RF (radio frequency) power transmitters to powe r up all switches inside the house."

  • Researcher has developed, at a cost of less than one dollar, a wireless light switch that runs without batteries, can be installed anywhere on a wall and could reduce the cost of wiring a house by ...
  • The article says they are powering it using dedicated transmitters:

    "each floor would have one or two RF (radio frequency) power transmitters to power up all switches inside the house."

    It's confusing because earlier they talk about energy harvesting, which implies "free". But then they talk about how you will need to run these transmitters, which certainly isn't free.

  • Beeper Mini is the iMessage for Android app we’ve been waiting for - Mishaal Rahman
  • It looks like Beeper has purchased the software from the person who developed this, but his GitHub repo for it is still up.

    He has also created a way to permanently side load apps on iPhone without jailbreaking. I imagine Apple will be working on both of these "problems".

  • Beeper Mini is the iMessage for Android app we’ve been waiting for - Mishaal Rahman
  • Interesting. I just checked and found the information. It sounds like they want to rebuild the whole app and just add one service at a time. They are starting with just iMessage.

    Edit: I wonder how long this will last. They aren't using a Mac to log you into your iCloud account with this. They have found a workaround.

    "This is now possible because the iMessage protocol and encryption have been reverse engineered by jjtech, a security researcher."

    Edit 2: I'm really curious about this. The researcher has some Python that can run anywhere and let you send iMessages. It seems like something the Apple would shutdown, but, on the other hand, I wouldn't expect Beeper to introduce an app that might get disabled.

  • Beeper Mini is the iMessage for Android app we’ve been waiting for - Mishaal Rahman
  • I'm confused about this article because I have Beeper, but they make this statement:

    "Beeper Mini is a new app from the folks behind Beeper, a unified chatting and inbox app that brings together the best chat apps under one roof."

    I haven't heard about a mini version.

  • Debrid + stremio + torrentio also Unchained - General Discussion.
  • Just based on the wide variety of comments in that Reddit post, it sounds like there are many things that can prevent this from working. I don't know all the details of what can go wrong, but it might depend on Android version or any customizations that various manufacturers may have implemented in their Android device.

    There probably isn't a single solution to getting this to work, and your problem could possibly be different than my problem.
