See [1] and [2] for an example of a support article that's had claude code removed as a Pro feature.

I guess this is the beginning of the end for subsidised model access, at least from Anthropic.

I couldn't make it work on books already downloaded to my kindle - they had to be downloaded via the app - and since it requires an old version of an app that automatically tries to update, I'm not sure how long it'll be possible, so my suggestion is to dump kindle and Amazon if you every want to have any control over your books.

If users do agree to pay, only once they have complete the process they are told it is part of a "test", however they are shown legitimate looking Apple Pay screens [2] along the way which Tado appear to be faking. Since there's no warning that this is a test up front, many users are finding themselves effectively locked out of controlling their heating and hot water at one of the coldest times of the year unless they agree to a pay subscription.

I have a Tado system in my house, and haven't been shown the screen yet, however it's highlighted for me just how little control I actually have over my heating and hot water if a company can remotely lock users out, effectively extorting money to continue heating their homes using hardware they have already paid for. I'll be looking to switch to something that's doesn't require an internet connection just to work...

I'm certain there are some very unique desks and setups here on NH, so I'm curious if anyone is willing to share their desk / battlestation in 2024?

> Can you point out the part of the article that disagrees with the assertion "cats are domestic animals"?

This is neither relevant nor the issue being discussed. It is a straw man, and you all too well know this. No one has at any point claimed that there are not domestic cats.

The entire point made was that cats are a native species in many parts of Europe, and that research shows not only that cats domesticated themselves, but that domestic and wild cats are genetically almost identical. The fact that domestic cats exist does not prevent native wild cats from also existing.

You are letting your very obvious personal bias determine your interpretation of what is an objective fact.

Datagrip is also fine if you're a Jetbrains user.

It was very simple to use, completely automated, took no maintenance other than loading some paper every few hours, and people were free to print as many high-quality 10x15cm photos as they wanted, and if I recall correct, that number was somewhere in the region of 200. There's something special about a physical print compared to seeing a picture on a screen.

The reason I think it's cool is because even 5 years later, I still visit friends and family and see photos printed from the photobooth framed on their walls, and I've had multiple friends use it for their weddings too!

I think the advantage of keeping it unmanned and simple was that older couples had a bit more confidence to get up, press one big button, and get a photo without any fuss. We had an actual wedding photographer there too, and they got plenty of wonderful photos, but mostly of the wedding party. It's only been a few years since my wedding, but unfortunately, some older guests are no longer with us, and the photobooth has left us with some wonderful photos to remember them by, which otherwise I don't think we'd have.

Very DIY, bit in my rather biased option, very cool.
