- Comment on Wyze gets $255K tariff bill for $167K worth of floodlights 2 days ago:
Wyze devices are known for being lower cost than most other IoT/home security devices, but have a name brand, and decent app/assistant support. They’re way above no-name low-end ones, but cheaper than brands like Arlo, Ring, or Nest.
Having low manufacturing costs is how they pull it off. If they get forced to add tariffs to their cost, their only hope is if everyone else ends up increasing their prices, otherwise their big advantage goes away. It’s too bad. They make pretty decent gear.
- Comment on Netflix's CEO says movie theaters are old news. Director Rian Johnson says his next movie belongs there anyway. 2 days ago:
Someone linked to this clip by Ryan Coogler, director of Sinners (and so many more) talking about film formats.
We stopped going to theaters since the pandemic, but his explanation is getting me amped about going to see this film, even though horror’s not my thing.
Netflix has its place but it doesn’t replace the theater experience.
- Comment on Ryan Coogler’s ‘Sinners’ Gets 70mm IMAX Re-Release 3 days ago:
Great to see someone nerding over film formats, like designers over fonts, artists over oils, or techies over just about everything.

- Comment on Perplexity CEO says its browser will track everything users do online to sell 'hyper personalized' ads 1 week ago:
To be fair, they’re targeting people who WANT to be tracked, in return for personalized ads. If that’s not you (or me), just ignore their entire platform.
Bold move. Let’s see how it pans out.

- Comment on Jennifer Lawrence was quoted implying that The Hunger Games was the first female-led action movie ... today I want to introduce you to one of my favorite exceptions: The Long Kiss Goodnight. 2 weeks ago:
La Femme Nikita (original French), Alien, and Terminator 2 all had seriously kick-ass female leads.

Correlation with mass and surface area.
- Comment on Beachfront property 2 weeks ago:
8 seconds in freefall from 1000ft. Longer if you hit solid things on the way rolling down.
Also, if you bring air resistance into it, nationality will affect outcome.
- Comment on CVE Board members launch the CVE Foundation, a dedicated, non-profit to continue identifying vulnerabilities, after the US ended its contract with Mitre 2 weeks ago:

- Comment on SSL/TLS certificates will last 47 days max by 2029 2 weeks ago:
We could be heading into daily (or hourly) cert auto-renewals. Clients will have to catch up. But one day, can see it all being hands-free.
- Comment on Do you use your blinker in a car? 3 weeks ago:
I use it everywhere because it signals intent. You never know when someone might pull up fast or walk into your blind spot. This is the only indicator they have that you’re about to pull into traffic, or change lanes.
- Comment on Godfrey IV, Duke of Lower Lorraine, when he hears breathing under the latrine he's using [Day 116] 3 weeks ago:
For those looking for the backstory, recommend searching for Godfrey the Hunchback, not his father Godfrey the Bearded, both being Dukes of Lower Lorraine.
And for true aficionados of privy horror, don’t forget the Erfurt latrine disaster.

He got pretty excited about the TV show after reading this: www.vanityfair.com/…/murderbot-first-look

- Comment on Does anyone have ideas for cable management here? 3 weeks ago:
I tried this with velcro ties. Looked good for a while. Then I had to replace one and add another cable. It was a royal pain unwrapping everything and rewrapping it.
Haven’t used them, but look interesting:

Relax.
It’s just to help lookup information in their document archives. It needs beefy hardware since it’s all running on-prem, so the data doesn’t leak out.

“Thank you for the note. I’d love to chat, and the technology is dead center of what I’m interested in, especially wrt free speech.
Thing is, I’m halfway through my HRT process, going through M2F transition. Was wondering if this was covered by xAI insurance? My current company’s DEI policy fully covers it. FWIW, I disagree with where they stand on this.
Regards.”

Have you looked at the free courses from AWS?

Best practice, if going further, is to set up a console account and practice experimenting within free tier.
