Perhaps "uncapped" rather than "unlimited" would be a better term for us to start using


I would say it's the opposite. If there is moral compass and we don't get high-up if someone tries to store their Linux isos on pen pot and gets a ban.


I'm sure someone can get it smaller than this (save as .html)

  <input id="i">
  <button onclick="l.textContent='Now do '+i.value">Do This</button>
  <button onclick="l.textContent='Do nothing'">Do Nothing</button>
  <label id="l"></label>


    data:text/html;,<input id=i><button onclick="l.textContent='Now do '+i.value">Do</button><button onclick="l.textContent='Do nothing'">Nope</button><label id=l>
Will work in your browser if you copy/paste it. Or as a QR code: https://d1yei2z3i6k35z.cloudfront.net/2914/6815454b25323_qr-...


Been giving me the error tvq-pb-101 on my TV when trying to play. Seemed to be working on the Android app, though.


Can confirm, streaming through the xbox app give me the same error.

Android app works as described.


Works on my laptop but not the TV. Seems to be an issue with the TV app.


Maybe more details about the used laptop type access? Through web browser or application? On windows or MacOS ?


I'm thinking of building a lego punch card reader for my 8 bit breadboard computer, and I like going down rabbit holes like this...

And I ended up here: https://www.masswerk.at/keypunch/ - virtual keypunch machine.


Saw a Tekever AR5 [1] fixed wing UAV on flightradar [2], and that led me to a Serious Incident report where both engines switched off as it was preparing to land. Fortunately an external pilot had line of sight and was able to land the UAV.

It seems that commands are sent as 11 bit values, 50 per second, and the command to send the "Ignition Off" value is any value over a set threshold.

From the doc: "A such, a single bit error would be sufficient to modify the 'Ignition ON' signal value so that it exceeded the 'Ignition OFF' threshold."

(This has now been fixed by the manufacturer so that there must be 10 consecutive Ignition OFF commands)

Ha - did the same phishing thing with our RM Nimbuses in the school computer lab. Wrote a turbo pascal program that showed the same login UI as the Nimbus. Logged into my own account on all machines and ran the program. When someone "logged in", it wrote their username and pw to a text file, and rebooted the machine (which got the user to the real login screen). Never got caught for that either, but also don't remember doing anything malicious with the info - I think it was more about the fun of the challenge :)


This is what I tell our junior devs. I remind them that the "next developer" may well be themselves in a year's time.


A forager friend of mine has just completed participating in a gut biome study (in conjunction with the UK Zoe project), where he and other foragers have been only eating wild foraged food for 3 months. A pretty good achievement for him (although he lost about 20kg over the 3 months). He blogged daily photos of what he ate on insta: https://www.instagram.com/rural_courses/


So what was the result?


He only finished last week - all goes into the research project. More here: https://monicawilde.com/the-wildbiome-project/


I suppose it's best to start with 1 or 3 months of 100% foraged food like they are doing. If that works, later experiments can find out whether less than 100% is enough.


That would be an interesting data point in the higher end.


I semi-regularly refer colleagues to this article I read some years back "The Interruptible Programmer" - it argues that it's hard to stay in the zone, so instead accept that you're going to be interrupted and embrace it.
