You can’t hold both positions at the same time, but I think being on the ballot for multiple positions varies from state to state, not sure how it is in NY?

in 2008, Biden was running for VP and for his Senate seat, winning both. He was sworn in as Senator and then resigned like a week later before being sworn in as VP.

Have you never heard of TRANSformers??

This may be the best gif ever made

In your experience do sites fail open or closed if the JavaScript from the third party not load? Like will the site wait for the event of the JavaScript library is never requested or loaded?

Can’t this just be a filter in uBlock Origin? What does this do that is special that uBlock Origin can’t do?

idk about you but never had an issue with chase’s website on Firefox that prevented me from using it.

Do they mention if the trackers were private? It’ll be interesting to see in discovery the details of the trackers and which ones are being monitored by the industry.

What mental gymnastics are going on that they claim “unlawful intent” if the intent to was to stop the man from assaulting her. How is intending to stop someone from continuing a hate crime unlawful?

Interesting bit from the court docs of how they traced it to him:

Based on cryptocurrency tracing analysis performed by FBI personnel, I have learned the following, among other things: on or about November 12, 2025, and November 13, 2025, in a total of approximately three transactions, Wallet-0xAf6 sent a total of approximately $149,980 of cryptocurrency to particular cryptocurrency swapping service (“Swapping Service- 1”).2,3 Based on documents from Swapping Service-1, I have learned that shortly after those three transactions, Swapping Service-1 sent approximately $149,980 of cryptocurrency to a particular cryptocurrency payment processor (“Payment Processor-1”). Based on documents from Payment Processor-1, I have learned that the November 12 and 13, 2025 transactions were received by account in the name of “Michele Spagnuolo,” and that an Italian Government identification card was used to open the account at Payment Processor-1. A copy of that identification card, which I have reviewed, appears to be a government identification card for MICHELE SPAGNUOLO, a/k/a “AlphaRaccoon,” the defendant.

Seems like whatever swapping service he used is what got him as he probably assumed that they wouldn’t comply with law enforcement or have detailed records.

I see, admittedly I didn’t check too closely but see what you’re saying now. I’ve had good luck with this app for tracking other BLE devices around. FWIW the MAC address filter takes a wild card value (using *), but I’m not too familiar with how the manufacturer ID and MAC address manufacturer prefix are related, if at all. Anyway, all this to say that while the NoPeek app is focused on just smart glasses, other apps exist that have similar functionality, and are easier to install.

Microsoft has been mum on any details about these matters, so it’s hard to tell if the situation is about an uncooperative researcher who doesn’t follow standard disclosure rules or a company being difficult about security reports. Regardless, the move to ban Eclipse’s GitHub account makes for poor optics, as it is being heavily criticized, and ultimately achieves nothing for security, since the code is out there anyway.

Classic Streisand effect. Just two years ago Satya Nadella publicly announced they’re prioritizing security above all else, but now have nothing to say about these exploits and are trying to silence the researcher? Viewing from the sidelines, it did seem a bit reckless how Eclipse was dropping these as zero days, but Microsoft’s actions speak louder than words and they probably didn’t pay for the bounties.

I’ve seen some Twitch streams where indie game devs will do this, especially during early access to promote the game and get feedback from the community. It seems like a neat idea but is probably grueling to “perform” while developing.

If you go to Radar Alerts, set the filter to use the manufacturer. The readme in OPs GitHub page lists these manufacturers: https://github.com/getnopeek/nopeek-android#️-devices-detected

paw patrol is just so over stimulating with frequent cuts and it’s clearly designed to hook kids short attention spans / does not help develop longer attention spans. It’s a classic problem that kids don’t want to stop watching and have tantrums if you enforce screen time and turn it off. All of this to sell huge toys that kids think they want and will play with one time.

Also the stories are not really that great, and suck to watch as a parent. They always introduce an issue which is immediately resolved, triggering that instant gratification in your kids brain, without teaching them about conflict resolution or anything really useful. This isn’t even about the idea of Adventure Bay being a police state or promoting the privatization of communal services.

It’s an unfair comparison, but a show like Bluey has great storytelling and while not being purely educational, teaches kids how to emphasize with others and deal with conflict that isn’t easily solvable, even for adults. The music, illustrations, and stories are a work of art and a more valuable use of time than Paw Patrol.

why does this need to be a separate app? There are other Bluetooth apps which will notify you when it sees a device with a mac address and will record the signal strength and keep a record on a map. Just add a profile to those apps for the manufacturer mac prefix.

This is a benign example, but I was talking with a fellow parent about our dislike of Paw Patrol and told them I had to remove that as an option in Netflix. They were shocked that was possible and I could see the gears turning in their head with that new info. Granted I’m not parenting a teenager yet, but it seems like most of the functionality in bigger platforms generally exists, people just don’t know it’s there and to set it.

Not sure if this applies to you, but how does EMS work with time across timezones? Like if a patient is airlifted from one location to another and crosses timezones? Is that another source of error, or is generally things being an hour off by accident not an issue?

The Verge’s Podcast has a reoccurring segment now called “Brendan Carr is a Dummy” with all these stupid moves on his part.
