Anyone got a magnet link?
I have no idea WTF google is doing with kids music. I get they don't want kids to access 'bad' parts of youtube music, i guess? But if you play a song which is marked as 'for kids' it wont let you browser you library anymore. So if i want to play music for my kids via a BT speaker, and then choose the next song to play while the first plays, it will stop.
You can't turn this off. God forbid i wanted to listen to 'the wiggles' as an adult for any reason and have the ability to view my other music while listening to 'kids' music. Strange choice.
Hold up...
I install Guest WiFi Services and never touch DNS. We use a in line AP/Controller to redirect HTTP/HTTPS traffic via a NAT rules to our web server.
basically Any/any:(HTTP/HTTPS) -> Original/GUEST-Server:(original port)
So nothing will break as i understand... Even with no DNS at all you can just type 1.1.1.1 into your browser and it'll capture that and redirect.
"A beacon is very easily able to detect your device's Bluetooth chip and log that with a retailer or some other app on your phone."
Isn't a beacon, be definition sending out the chirps? I'm there there are radio doing listening, but the system i installed (meridian) you install beacons which you phone then listens for to triangular itself on a map. The App then phones home with the location it has determined. This is the opposite of what they described above.
Most companies are doing what they describe above with WiFi when they look for probe requests.
Already seen them doing this in Toronto
For anyone looking to try audiobooks, check if your local library is part of the Overdrive (or other) system, which gives you access to a large library for free.
I like audio books for all the tedious day to day tasks. I can listen while driving, commuting, doing dishes, cleaning the house, doing laundry. Basically anything where i dont need to listen to someone else speak or concentrate hard i can listen to book. Makes menial tasks much easier to get through for me.
Is that Neal Stephenson? If so i already have Crypto-nomicon on my hold list in overdrive
They are a bit dated, but have you read any Asimov or Heinlein? I haven't come across things like that in any of the books i have read thus far.
I am really enjoying Asimov and Heinlein. Can you recommend a good book to start Stephenson ? Never heard of him.
Switches over to Audiobooks on Overdrive last spring. i'm not 'reading' anywhere from 5-10 books a month. Depends on the length, some books at 8-10 hours, others are 30+. listening at 1.4x i can get through an 8 hour book in a day.
Right now i have finished the "Robots" series by Isaac Asimov, and now on book 2 of the Foundation series.
Overdrive really changed my ability to get through books, i probably read more now in a month the i used to in a year. I highly recommend it to anyone who's local library is a member. The best part is that is completely free.
Amazon.ca does not sell the fireTV, or Firestick, unless they are actually $150, in which case i dont think they understand their target audience. Since amazon prime video came to Canada, i've watch 3/4 of one movie, because I want to watch things on my TV, not my phone or PC.
Apparently there is an Prime Video app on Roku. I borrowed a roku from a friend who was not using it anymore, can't find the app. Looks like again they don't offer that app on Roku in Canada.
But hey, lets go after the Cable box market, because that is clearly a growing market segment...
Maybe they should first offer something and basic as Chromecast support on their mobile apps.
They just need more time so that the government can implement their back doors into the new algorithm
C++ is the best example of second-system effect since OS/360.
