But honestly what are the odds that you would find and successfuly test the very tick that infects you with Lyme disease? Gotta be pretty slim!

Did Google check if their scraping for AI training violated anyone's ToS?

I use Firefox with a vertical tabs extension open all the time. Occasionally (rarely, mind) I run into sites that don't bring their full content into view unless I hide the tabs list.

Guess they think like the OP.

Hey trying to understand this better. Isn't $63 around $60? Maybe I'm missing something

They do ship directly to AU: https://www.xteink.com/

I way prefer ePaper over reading on my phone so I have both the x3 and the x4 and love both.

The x3 is so small it sticks to my phone via the charging magnet on the back so it goes everywhere my phone does.

The x4 is a bit bigger so a bit more readable but still smaller than an iPhone, so it’s easy to keep in your pocket or bag.

Xteink ereaders do (available on Amazon) but just make sure to get the “developer edition” and you can flash the hardware.

Some in China, but also Thailand and Mexico. They seem to be playing whack-a-mole with manufacturing contractors and changes to tariff policy.

In my mind it had mostly come and gone by then. I don’t think it was ever very popular.

But I remember it fondly.

It's RF vision, it let's you visualize RF sources as a coloured blob overlay in real time.

I'm guessing if you can "see" Wifi through a wall, you can also infer some things about what's behind the wall, because the signal will have certain obstruction patterns. It becomes an xray.

We know the definitions of "see" and when we take it to be in the "visualize" sense, it tracks for me.
