So to let my son play online Minecraft with his friends, I have to open him up to an unrelated store full of content I can't possibly evaluate. That's the deal. Take it or leave it.
Hoooooboy you're in for a treat once you see the deals on all the weird "hentai" and "ecchi" softcore games on eShop that Nintendo let past the lotcheck process.
They give clip 1 of Kapustin running into a van in a (slightly) open environment, into the sliding doors, the drone crashing in... then cut to a second clip in a fenced environment with what appears to be an SUV with outward opening doors on fire.
Fun memory and a bit of an internal photo (and a rare shot of PalmOS software from the inside): https://ibb.co/nsVrW0h1
Sears' jewelry was... definitely marked up. This is from a SNC (SEARS Network Communicator, just a fancy term for their Symbol PDTs) showing true cost on a "$1299" necklace. $1299 down to $324? What a steal! It still only cost Sears a hundred bucks.
That had a lot to do with De Beers blacklisting any buyers of used diamonds, so used stones would end up their only supply. Meanwhile running "Diamonds are Forever" campaigns that would paint any such recycling as the actions of sleazy dishonest pawn brokers. You wouldn't sell Grandma's precious heirloom to one of those people now, would you? Nowadays I'm not sure the cartels have the power they used to, but whatever's left does still seem pretty disproportionate.
So... they're trying to do a little bit of bare minimum "protect people from bullshit low-effort script kiddie attacks". Big deal?
There's enough "educational use only" denial-of-service attacks across the spectrum that some happy slappy dumbass will try to run. We've already had problems with bad actors with Flippers in convention spaces with the various Bluetooth spam attacks.
I feel like we'd be better served linked directly to the Mastodon post which the Daily Mail can't even be assed to properly do despite saying in the article:
Does this mean developers will have to make their software work on hardware with 8GB of RAM and stop blindly assuming every person in the world gets a packed developer workstation like they do?
I hadn't seen Beeline, but it looks sweet. I may pick one up.
I always wonder if I'm just buying future ewaste, though. Looks like it requires their app, which requires their live servers. One acquisition away from end-of-lifed.
Drop the Starlink into bridge mode, use the Gl.inet in front as your edge router, have WireGuard/Tailscale/etc connections back to more permanent infrastructure.
Even without a SIM card itself -- Android and iOS devices will tether over USB, so you can tether your own phone directly in and share the connection to other devices as well when you don't want to mess with Starlink.
