Sony LinkBuds Fit

The comment you're replying to means that Sony made the XM4, not Sennheiser like the parent said.

Thank you for this. I built a similar open tool for generic mouse customization on macOS (https://github.com/pokstad/mousechords), but I also needed an open Bolt receiver configuration manager.


I was intrigued by nano claws more “secure” marketing, but I couldn’t believe how loose and vibe coded the installation and set up process was. My god it’s full of prompts.


Bicycle rights!


Great name


Isn’t the whole point of a brand to be recognizable? If customers couldn’t make this association from the start, what value does this provide?


That's assuming that LLMs aren't approaching some asymptote that doesn't cross over to AGI.


I kept coming back to his course listing to find some that were on site, but they were all online. I wanted to take my current team to the same onsite experience I had with Dave over 15 years ago. Classes taught in person are so much better.


Why not write him and ask? He stopped teaching because of a drop in demand. He clearly loves teaching. If you have a team to educate and a budget to pay him for his time and expertise, he might be willing to run a class for your team.


You’re posting on a website hosted in a data center. Lack of self awareness.


This website is hosted on a single server. I was being hyperbolic sure, but we don't need the number of data centers we have by a huge margin, the primary reason they exist is because building software that runs on people's computers is not compatible with greedmaxxing.


The data center hosting this website is already built, unlike the ones people are fighting against.

I'll grant the general public may not understand enough that they already rely on "datacenters", but there are reasonable arguments against gigawatt buildouts for AI, while still using technologies that run in datacenters in general.


First, this is just the standard "You're criticizing X, yet you use X. Checkmate" trope.

Second, there is an obvious difference in scale here which you're ignoring.

Third, a website that can run on a pair of servers doesn't actually need to be, and the world would be better off if fewer were.


Exactly. The same way that selling alcohol doesn’t require a paper trail of every beer I’ve bought.


I don't know about this, stores around me are scanning people's IDs to verify their age.

I guess I could make an ID (not a counterfeit government ID) that uses the same encoding for the birthday.


They are scanning the PDF 417 barcode on the back.

Here are the specs for what appears on the driving license/ID and how to read the barcode:

They issue a new spec every 4 years.


Thank you!


After a while you age out of getting carded. The vast majority of alcohol is bought without ever showing any ID.


I aged out of getting carded a long time ago, but I'm seeing stores where their policy is to card everyone. I was behind an old man with white hair and a cane who was bewildered when he was carded.


Stores collect not required customer information often.


To be fair, I buy my beers on CC. If someone really wanted to know the best IPAs and session able beers they could get, they could audit my CC records and then cross check to the breweries and pubs to see what I was buying. Just depends how much someone wants to learns bout good beer.


Anything under 4% should be sessionable IME.


Your point was what? No one should be allowed more privacy than you wanted?


My point was mostly a joke about drinking beer in response to the OP drinking beer.

But the underlying darkness is that if you're paying for things using a CC, you've already given up on your privacy, but it's implicitly lost, rather than explicitly.


Not anymore, at least. In these parts your alcohol purchases did require a paper trail once upon a time.


And yet in practice they do.

Well, not every beer but when you shop at Beers-R-Us they know.
