RCS was a dumpster fire for years. Only in the past couple of years has Google stepped up to be the centralized force in making it work as envisioned.

quick edit to say I agree this could’ve been avoided if Apple had made iMessage for Android, but I just wanted to point out the blame is shared by poor implementation across the board.

Indeed, the article was written with Backblaze B2 as the S3-compatible storage used.

Do I need to wear some sort of special technical fabric fanny pack? I don’t want to inhibit the progress of the pioneers.

If I may ask as an edc lurker, I love the idea of edc, but how do you carry so many useful gadgets? If I put stuff in my phone pocket then it scratches up my phone. If I put stuff in my key/wallet pocket then it unlocks my car randomly. I would carry my lathe in my pocket if it was feasible.

Requires an iPhone 15 Pro or an iPad

Not a lawyer, but there are lots of intricacies to this. You can own a trademark without having it be a registered trademark. Registration is expensive and then you are expected to actively defend use of your trademark. Be prepared to pay lawyers to send cease-and-desist letters to parties using your trademark for financial profit. Not to mention you have to be/become a business engaging in interstate commerce using this trademark.

dedsec doesn’t appear to be a registered trademark in the US at this time.

I appreciate your question, it is nice to see things from a different perspective. My generator is definitely a luxury that hopefully can remain off. Most utilities focus on uptime and this generator ad is a weird cash grab by preying on people’s fear. My local natural gas company did a similar thing where they strongly encouraged us to buy buried pipe damage coverage through them. If a pipe is damaged on your property then you have to pay a contractor to fix it.

American suburbia is an odd thing. The core metro is usually well planned and stays online due to buried cables. However, a lot of old suburbs were built with overhead lines. Then expansion never slowed down and the cities grew around the old suburbs. Many of the modern suburbs now have underground power, but even they may be fed by overhead poles outside the community. However, other parts of America could be different where they have hurricanes or earthquakes regularly.

Not frequently, but weather extremes and natural disasters do cause outages. I was without power for a couple weeks after a tornado came through my neighborhood. Now I own a generator.

They could be fined a small amount for cutting down the trees and then include a provision that the trees must be replaced with trees of the same size. If they were large trees, then that could get super expensive very quickly. There was a story about tree law on Reddit where someone cut down 32 trees on their neighbor’s property and were charged $1k each plus the cost of replanting, it ended up just shy of $2M.

Do you have an auxiliary power connector hooked up to the HBA? Here is the manual.

Can confirm. My cats request this jam be played to them on the daily.

Here is the non-Fox News article:

I highly recommend checking with local vets rather than an animal hospital if your pet has time. Our vet extended my cat’s life multiple times over the years for a fraction of the price. Kidney/bladder surgery for stone removal was less than $1k including a week of room and board. Hands down, the best money I’ve ever spent.

Modular ports would be great. I’d love to have two USB ports on a phone rather than a USB and headphone jack.

Since you mentioned joysticks, Joystick Gremlin is a great piece of software if you want to take the customization up a notch and have full sensitivity curves for your joysticks. You can even have modes dedicated to landing vs normal flight at different sensitivity levels.

Unless every instance goes down we will just call it a partial outage.
