<p>How does this impact security researchers? Or just student developers or tinkerers? This all seem like bad idea.<p>I would imagine security researcher could be registered developer but I could also see autobans if that is a thing to their accounts making life complicated.<p>Also some folks just being locked out of the due to government censorship etc..</p>

<p>I still have my original Adam in the box, and I’ve been meaning to try and get it running. It was the first computer we had at home, and I have amazing memories of playing Buck Rogers on tape and other cartridge classics.<p>We ended up with two systems because the first one died along the way in 1983 or '84.<p>This brings back fond memories, including the desk my father built, which had a monitor stand and a cutout for the keyboard.<p>I feel lucky to this day that my parents invested in the Adam.</p>

<p>I  fully agree with distracted driving, but also think this beyond the car size though. I think those should be limited, but will be met with that’s going to be met with resistance. The US is just completely hostile to pedestrians both in how they build roads and how drivers think of pedestrians.  I’m all for rules for car sizes for other reasons but this is cultural problem the US has and needs to solve.<p>This last month I’ve been in around Paris and felt SO much safer walking and respected by drivers than I do walking around my house a city in twin cities.</p>

<p>This also where I landed with Brave as it seems to be working great for all of devices. Runs smoothly and I don’t really have a problem full with many sites on aggressive mode. I’ve had the sync’ing feature go flaky a few times, but over all good experience.<p>My big gripe with FF honestly is the lack for PWA ( progressive web apps) If they resurrect that effort I’d give it a shot. I’m not really interested in running another browser for that feature.<p>Also the brave privacy settings are remarkably better “by default” across all my devices. I’m sure Firefox can be configured to be hardened I just have other ways I’d like to spend my time. Heck I’d even pay for better option for all my devices.</p>

<p>Well that answers why my keys no longer work on recent re-install. Ended up having to get grey market key. Figured after 10 years wasn’t the worst expense, but the amount of adverts and telemetry they gather for the price not sure it’s even worth the 15 dollars.</p>

<p>As someone who is just engineer / architect and has to have all my trades approved and accounts granted access to reporting for not only my self but my partner. it really annoys me that these folks are not under more scrutiny. I don’t even have really any information to what these government officials do.<p>This to me falls under the “rules for thee not me.”</p>

<p>Thicker tires solved most my problem and would agree to try something more durable. Though no idea what type of flat they are getting. Also make sure to be riding at a good tire pressure.<p>Personally I started having quite a few flats with some conti 5000s for couple years. Decided to move to Conti Grand Prix 4 season tires have not had but one flat and pretty sure that was a pinch flat. Self induced pot hole I didn’t hop over.</p>

<p>Man this statement resonates with me.<p>I’ve found some folks view transferring power to benign government seems like good idea, but I think they fail to realize getting that getting that power back won’t be so straightforward if or when it doesn’t work out that government is no longer working for them or supporting their ideals, but the government is instead ruling them.<p>We have had to pretty good lately tbh in the US compared to some though honestly the could be questionable also depending on the values one has.</p>

<p>Fully agree. As it is fine most the time it comes back to the other part where it is wrong.<p>Example: living in cold weather climate my outback just stops cuts the engine when exhaust from the car leaves car in front of me on cold day( large cloud of vapor). The visual collision avoidance detects this as car and cuts the engine. This is not the place you want to be leaving an intersection with people accelerating behind you.<p>Unless this backed by lidar / radar or combination that is more accurate I don’t see this as pro. Top reason I can’t stand my outback is the decisions it makes incorrectly.<p>Of course there is no way to get any of this fixed in my outback other than selling it. Consumers are getting the shaft on technology in their cars imo and are being treated as test pilots.</p>

<p>Or let’s talk about just how about the Garmin is actually a rugged device and usually clipped directly to an individuals clothes/pack. I can’t imagine iPhone is as durable and that typical protective case can be or will be attached to the individual hiking.<p>There are still situations I think sos on iPhone 14 does make sense. Like driving in middle of nowhere without signal and having car troubles.<p>I would also though agree people may get this false sense of safety, but I’m sure having something is better than nothing and having 2 options is better then 1 and maybe someone else hiking may find an someone who needs emergency help and doesn’t have inreach and able to help. The iPhone isn’t useless as sos device, but I will know I’ll be counting on my inreach on my adventures as my emergency beacon even if I did have iPhone 14.</p>

<p>Remember my time in the us navy in the late 90s and 00’ using paper tape for a few things including loading crypto. I can’t exactly remember what also we used it for, but was strange to think of even then and often now wonder if paper tape still exists in navy. Plus side ii is pretty easy to destroy and also not impacted by any sort of emp if there was to be one.<p>Tape reader here <a href="http://www.prc68.com/I/CryptoM.shtml#KOI-18" rel="nofollow">http://www.prc68.com/I/CryptoM.shtml#KOI-18</a>  and with some other fun devices like kyk-13<p>Thanks for post now I’m wondering what the sister project is to write paper tape as easy to store my own crypto keys.</p>

<p>I have been using duck go for what seems like 4 years now. I also just use the !g if the results are bad, but over the holidays I noticed more scar operations on there product searches. I’m not quite sure why, but when looking for gifts or just things I was interested in I was driven to knockoff sites or total scam pages with multiple urls leading to the same scam. I’ve since reported these, but I will say google still seems to be best at product search imo. This still will not drive me away from DDG, but wish they would do better screening. It is hard to recommend things like that to my less savvy friends and family.<p>Has anyone else seen this?</p>
