Doesn’t need to be publicly traded; just about anything with investors looking for a return

I’d never looked into this much, but I could use this to connect to my Mac while sitting in a recliner and play Civilization or something?

It was only a few weeks ago that I learned “do, re, mi,” etc., are the actual names of the notes in other languages, or at least French. My wife found it confusing that English uses letters, and even more that do is the same note as C in English, so they don’t even start with the same note.

I liked this read when considering legal ramifications for hosting content. It is U.S. focused so it might not be applicable to someone in another country.

I don’t think they really need to run an instance to conduct surveillance on the Fediverse. Maybe it makes things easier, but a lot of this is public anyway. Just because Google isn’t putting a lot of this in search results yet doesn’t mean it can’t be scraped by people who are interested in scraping it.

Reading the article, France is fining Apple because the tool makes it harder for advertisers to track people and that’s unfair to smaller advertising companies because they really need to track people to compete?

Was flash storage more expensive then? Nowadays this might only save pennies per device, right?

Lack of onboard persistent storage?

With the Samsung smart TV use-case, these web cameras relied upon the Samsung TV uploading the firmware to the camera’s RAM each time it is connected.

Why???

Costco has started scanning barcodes and the picture associated with the account appears on a screen employees watch as you walk in now

In a sense what they’re describing here sort of already happened almost 40 years ago from Captain Midnight knocking HBO off-air.

Yes, like I just learned about gearhead.town which is focused on vehicles (cars, motorcycles, etc.), which is an idea I’d had myself but I’m nowhere near skilled enough to operate an instance right now.

My question is more, if I want to comment, how do I decide where it goes? I assume if I’m replying to a specific comment on a post, my reply will just show up there, but if I’m making a top-level comment, can I choose which community it goes in, or perhaps send the same comment to every community? Maybe a comment is appropriate in one community but not another.

It’s a Jeep Wrangler or Gladiator, and based on the hood and red interior probably one of the higher trims like Rubicon. That’s the larger, 8.4-inch infotainment touchscreen. It’s also the pre-facelift interior, so it’s either a 2018-2023 Wrangler/Wrangler Unlimited (JL/JLU) or 2020-2024 Gladiator (JT). I can’t quite see enough detail but one of the icons on the screen looks more like a pickup truck, so I’m inclined to say it’s a Gladiator. Someone else might chime in with more details.

I’ve never even heard of this instance, but looks like a lot of relevant communities for me!

How does it handle posting comments, deciding where to put them?

That seems pretty logical

This blog post is from December 23, 2023. It looks like there was only one newer blog post, from November 2024.

They had a fairly detailed blog post a few days or weeks ago about the rollout. The plan is to bring it to open source but they’re still working on issues with it that are easier to control on their own servers. IIRC the code for it is actually in the open source version but disabled. I think they said if you know what you’re doing you could go into the code to enable it but it’s unusably slow right now, or something like that.
