Clear is now a TSA “vendor” for the precheck process. The machines they use for the sign up process - at least the airport I was at - don’t have the eye scanning camera in the kiosk.

The Clear representative I was asking questions of had said they don’t require eye scans for Clear, though that is the default. People can ask to use just fingerprints, which he said does disrupt the terminal process as the agents don’t think to ask if fingerprints were what was registered when the eye scans fail.

I am not advocating for Clear. I refuse to use them. I simply do want to call out that they are one of 3 who handle the process for the TSA now. People do have a choice of which of the three to use.

I’ve had the Eros E3.5s for a few years and they’ve not let me down on quality, especially at the price point.

I also considered those Mackie’s.

I’ve just been enjoying the 84F/29C day and sipping gin & tonics all day. Started with Sipsmith as the gin, but I emptied that bottle and finished with Hendrick’s Flora Adora.

I just found their replacement in store. Check out my other comment below.

They’re (kinda) back!! I haven’t tried them yet, but I will.

I run GrapheneOS.

I told myself that my Pixel 8 pro will be enough for a bunch of years. That is, until I went on a trip with it. Now I feel like my Pixel 7 was better than the P8P is, with just as good of a camera with better battery life.

I’m glad I kept the p7 as a burner, because I may just make it my prime phone. I only upgraded on the prospect of a long lasting phone and received the p7 for free…

A few years ago, Morningstar used to have a vegetarian rib patty. Once I realized its potential as a vegetarian McRib, I bought a pack. It was delicious. I bought another pack.

And then it was gone from shelves in every store that had it.

I believe what they’re getting at is an issue if they’re not already authenticated prior to the outage. Then they’d have no access to their media unless they look into the workaround for that beforehand. It has been an issue in the past, especially when Plex’s auth servers go down. I remember plenty of Reddit threads complaining about it.

It’s probably an issue all over, and I hope it gets blocked, for the sake of consumers. Kroger acquired a company called Roundy’s which has a chain called “Pick N Save” in Wisconsin back in 2015. I remember shopping there after and seeing additional tags with products’ prices announcing the “Your New Low”, but prices were higher than pre acquisition. I stopped shopping there after that and noticing a decrease in product/brand diversity.

I was in a very similar position as you. Thirteen year user, moderator for a few smaller subreddits, including one that provided support for a US-based mobile phone carrier, and deleted everything when the API change happened.

It took time and effort to coordinate and help uplift those who generated the great content for those subreddits, but Reddit, Inc., was unwilling to help us moderators who had developed and used the tools necessary to do it. I wasn’t willing to put in the additional time since Reddit was themselves unwilling to, post API change.

In response to such critiques, Reddit spokesperson Rathschmidt said he did not “know of an industry benchmark for scoring content quality”.

(Emphasis mine)

This is the same tone deaf response I’ve come to expect from Reddit for some time now, and is why I’m happy to no longer be a user of their platform.

Agreed. It didn’t feel respectful when they started replacing mod teams that refused to reopen.

I’ve had success finding directories of chd’s after searching for something with “archive” “.org” “ps1” “psx” and “chd” as possible search terms.

I use a Garmin Venu 2. It’s a “smart enough” watch where it’s not annoying in terms of notifications, but it provides all of the data I could imagine needing relating to my fitness activities. I started using it after Mozilla reviewed Garmin’s stance on privacy.

I also have a Seiko kinetic watch I wear for nice or more formal events.

Soft Skills Engineering: I listen for advice on the non-technical side of software development.

The Greatest Generation: a couple guys who review ST:TNG, DS9 and now Voyager episodes.

Greatest Trek: the above but for new Trek

It’s not just P8/P8P in my experience. I can no longer connect a P7 to the same vehicle. Android Auto never starts, the car screen just says the device is not compatible.

My other car, which has the motorola wireless dongle, works fine.

Fair point. I still feel that it could be better. I’m seeing that I can go to work, be there all day, and come home, and only receive the notification late evening. I’d prefer it to be faster for the sake of those affected by actual stalking.

The pixels seem to have it by default. I don’t have the Apple app, but my phone will tell me the airtag on my keys was following me. It’s pointless though, because it shows up a couple hours after the fact.

Fitbit acquired Pebble, not Garmin, so any of that tech is now with Google.

Garmin devices can be cheap, reliable, and work for a long time. There’s a bit of a community for them online, but I am not aware of any custom firmware.
