I've found it somewhat kludgy to use most apps in their mobile web version, which was for me a benefit more than a curse. The friction in using Instagram on the web was just enough to stop me from doomscrolling, without obstructing all access to seeing what is happening with the people I care about.
Interestingly, Pokemon GO only prompts players to scan a subset of the Points of Interest on the game map. Players can manually choose to scan any POI, but with no incentive for those scans I'm sure it almost never happens.
> Today we have 10 million scanned locations around the world, and over 1 million of those are activated and available for use with our VPS service.
This 1 in 10 figure is about accurate, both from experience as a player and from perusing the mentioned Visual Positioning System service. Most POI never get enough scan data to 'activate'.
The data from POI that are able to activate can be accessed with a free account on Niantic Lightship [1], and has been available for a while.
I'll be curious to see how Niantic plans to fill in the gaps, and gather scan data for the 9 out of 10 POI that aren't designated for scan rewards.
Had to choose between a Prusa and a Bambu Labs for a school 3D printer. Bambu never got back to us when we reached out about tax exemption. That on top of their proprietary aspects sealed the deal for me.
Prusa MK4+MMU3 has been more than satisfactory, even with the abuse of high schoolers and their optimistic print aspirations.
2D printing is an abomination because everything is proprietary, trash-tier drivers and HP begging for ink subscriptions. I have decided to commit to open source 3D printing. I was thinking of Voron as a next machine but this Prusa looks pretty nice.
So far, full open source and standard parts have been the standard for consumer-level 3D printer since the RepRap project, and especially for Prusa.
But it is not the case for BambuLab, except for its slicer, but I suspect that's only because it is a derivative of... PrusaSlicer, which is AGPL. Because BambuLab makes great 3D printers and is therefore very successful, the community worries that it will set a precedent and that 3D printing will become more and more locked down.
I was disappointed to discover that https://haveibeenpwned.com does not report an email as pwned if it is subaddressed/plus addressed. myemail@gmail.com is reported as still safe, but myemail+archive@gmail.com is pwned. I wonder if my email has been leaked by any other websites without me knowing.
I don't think they can do that, because they do not store plaintext addresses in their database, merely hashes. It certainly reduces the impact of someone hacking HIBP.
I'll be curious about what details emerge concerning connections between the hand-held radios and the pagers. Any overlap in the manufacturers? Were the radios new/recently replaced like the pagers? How was the explosive triggered?
I assume it was the same factory, that made the explosive containing batteries.
And then those batteries "just" had to be swapped with the intercepted original ones. Still requires effort, but less than building pagers and walki talkies for this purpose.
