sramder, to technology in Apple's Wifi router database: Surveilling the Masses with Wi-Fi-Based Positioning Systems
@sramder@lemmy.world avatar

…the combination of factors seems sloppy. Well put.

It could even be privacy preserving with the right implementation. With a bunch of device locations nearby you’re not hitting the server constantly and leaving a trail… but I think Apple just had limiting API hits and maybe computing.

So it’s possible to run this type of service with this type of database, without sharing BSSID locations with anyone else who asks.

Seems like apple was hoping to keep their API hits down at the expense of everyone’s privacy including their own customers. Very uncool.

Either born without them or they had to be amputated shortly afterwards. HShe’s super good at getting around and doing stuff, basically learned to cat without them.

There’s even a video of him her teaching another amputee cat how to get around and climb stairs.

Edit: Not actually sure it’s the same cat anymore, but here’s a video of Duck.

The only one (of 15) to survive the procedure escaped the lab and was promptly hit by a car.

Sad Pattern? This seems less dark and more pathetic…

sramder, to sbcgaming in Larger display emulator for aging eyes
@sramder@lemmy.world avatar

On second thought it’s about the same size as the one I’ve got at 5.48” probably not enough.

Thought about using a Bluetooth controller with your tablet?

I haven’t tried it myself but the Ambernic RG556 looks like a chonk and has an OLED.

@sramder@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, use one of those to clean it up. At least that’s where I’d start.

Doesn’t virus total display a list of the AV software it triggered?

I generally use Malware Bytes on windows but I don’t know if it’s effective against that particular virus.

sramder, to business in Behind the ‘butter board’: How the dairy industry took over your feed
@sramder@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah… the butter board was kinda perfect. By the time I had scrolled down to the photo I was invested in the weirdness.

I’ve always smirked when I heard “Fluid Milk Processors Board” at the end of a commercial because it really makes them sound like a huge cartel of some kind. Turns out…

I’ll have to dig it up tomorrow, but that was an illusion to a mountain climbing injury he sustained at some point earlier in life (to an arm) that left him in constant pain. He was able to function by mentally mastering the discomfort which he credited to meditation or something like that.

I believe it was an interview that aired on NPR at least 5 years ago.

I’m with you. When I saw The Saint as a kid it seemed like the perfect plan. Do crimes and retire when you hit 5 million ;-)

Seriously, I think it’s a widespread addiction. You see your nest-egg turn into millions and then billions… it’s got to be a rush.

A throughly written and informative article :-)

I’ve “upgraded” my bimonthly gallon of the white stuff several times over the last 30 years and for at least the last 10 I’ve been fairly disappointed.

Consolidation within the dairy industry seems an obvious place to lay the blame.

I’ve flirted with the notion of paying $10/pint for fancy unpasteurized hippy-milk, but honestly I’m just afraid I’d end up liking it. Although the current bird flu situation has given me new excuses.

The quota system Canada uses seems interesting. I’m a fan of both pasteurization and small farms, which currently doesn’t seem to be an option where I live…

Also I love learning about weird measurements:

Ever since Congress passed the Dairy Act in the 1980s, farmers have been required to pay 15 cents per hundred-weight of milk (equivalent to a little less than 12 gallons) toward industry promotion programs overseen by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, or USDA.

It’s length does indicate he’s a successful man of means…
