That’s Hyundai/Kia’s fault though. For whatever reason, they cheaped out and didn’t include an immobilizer in 2011-2022 models (meaning the cars don’t actually verify that there’s a key in it, so you can just remove the key hole and turn the ignition with a screwdriver or USB cable or whatever to start it).
Before TikTok, this would have just spread on different platforms…
I’m not defending TikTok though.
I understand blocking TikTok, and China already blocks US social media sites. I don’t really understand blocking a shopping app, though. TikTok are grasping at straws.
Wouldn’t this set a dangerous precedent? If the government blocks a shopping app, what else will they block in the future? It’s a slippery slope to government censorship. China may do the same thing and block US stores, which would hurt the US economy.
The fact that Nintendo are going for a patent claim rather than a copyright claim makes me think that they don’t think a copyright claim would be successful.
Which is actually a good thing. Might sound scarry and counterintuitive at first, but is the right way to go.
My point was more that if you do change email address, you should change to your own domain, since then you won’t have to change it again in the future :)
using aliases for all the different places…
Yeah this is great. I use a catchall email so anything @ my domain goes to me.
I haven’t checked the CORS headers for YouTube videos but wouldn’t access have to be fairly open to allow embedded videos to work?
MXroute are great. I switched to self-hosting my email server using Mailcow a few years ago, but still use MXroute for outbound email (meaning my SMTP server relays outbound email via MXroute). They’ve got deliverability figured out and have several fallbacks - I think if all of their outbound servers fail to send the email, they retry via Mailbaby and Mailchannels.
Forwarding is a decent approach too. Just note that it’s not 100% reliable (due to limitations around spam filtering) and you will sometimes have emails that get dropped.
On the web, it would not be possible.
Why not?
Gmail can be easily replaced, by like Proton mail or something
Except for the fact that you’ll need to update your email address in so many places.
If you do move to a different provider, make sure you use your own domain. It’s way more professional, and it lets you move to a different provider in the future without having to change your email address again. I’ve had one of my email addresses for a bit over 20 years across a bunch of different providers.
The paid version of Protonmail lets you have up to 3 custom domains. MXRoute and FastMail let you use your own domain too. MXRoute supports unlimited domains and addresses; you’re just limited by total disk space.
If the email address is important to you, it’s better to use a paid service since it’ll usually give you proper support and an SLA.
would there be any difference if the webpage has a JS button to put something in the clipboard, or it having code running in the background that puts things into the clipboard at page load?
Clicking a button shows user intent, whereas a page load doesn’t. No user expects loading a page to overwrite their clipboard, but every user that clicks a “Copy to Clipboard” button does expect it.
I’ve never heard of LoRa. The marketing and whitepapers for HaLow specifically mention the things I did, for example https://www.wi-fi.org/discover-wi-fi/wi-fi-certified-halow
Not sure what you mean by “controlled” given it’s open-source?
That’s pretty good given (as far as I know) the main use case for HaLow is for low bandwidth, very low power use cases, like for IoT devices and other things you’d use Zigbee or Z-wave for today, including devices that run for years off a single button cell battery
Which OS?
On Android, Moon+ Reader is pretty good.
My wife uses the Amazon Kindle app on her Android tablet. You can use it for non-Kindle books by sending an email to a special email address for your Kindle account: https://www.amazon.com/sendtokindle/email.
Calibre is useful for this. It shows an easy to use “send to Kindle” button, and can convert books in ePub, mobi, etc formats to the format that works best in the Kindle app (AZW3).
If you want a web interface for Calibre (eg to run on a home server and download books when you’re away from your computer), Calibre-web works well.
But why deal with separate software like dnscrypt-proxy when AdGuard Home has it built-in?
A recursive DNS server and a local DNS cache/forwarder/are two different things with two different purposes. You will always need both.
Why do you need two separate ones though? Recursive DNS servers also cache responses. Usually the only reason you’d run a local forwarder/cache is if you’re not running a local recursive server.
Yeah it’ll use the local copy if it exists.
I have Plexamp on my phone configured to automatically download the “loved” album (songs I’ve rated 4 or 5 stars). It automatically downloads songs I add to the playlist. My library is too big to download it all to my phone (most songs are in FLAC format) so I’d need to download a curated list anyways.
This seems to work well. I’ve used it a few times on flights or when I’m in a hotel room with spotty phone coverage and no wifi.
Didi (Chinese Uber) is very popular in Australia too.
