Fuck Zynga, but “Method for presenting advertising in an interactive service” is clearly an invalid patent even if it was applied 20 years ago
It should be possible to patent only real stuff, not broad concepts that can be applied to everything

Israel is sowing the seeds of revenge in the Palestinian population.
The list of desperate persons that don’t have anything to lose anymore is growing rapidly
If you make a backup with a tool like Borg that creates encrypted archives, then using AWS S3 glacier is the cheapest.
What’s bad about it: if you ever need those files again, it’s going to be VERY expensive to download them again, so it has to be treated as the “what if a nuke hits my city and all the local and off-site backups are vaporized” solution
Also: it’s not recommended to directly host plain files, they need to be in an archive format with big chunks, as the API calls that are used to list them during sync are counted in a very expensive way
The main advantage of using custom silicon is that you can decide the naming and so you deceive users that the minor 0.1 update is a full generation advance
Kinda like I saw someone saying “apple skipped A17 for the iPhone 16 and gave the faster A18” - they’re in charge of the naming and they can easily decide that A18 = A17
Technically, yes, but I’m a bit lazy. If I can overengineer a workaround…
Yes my cylinder isn’t compatible, it won’t allow inserting a key from the other side. But I saw they sell a replacement one for 100 euro
Not being internet connected isn’t the end of the world, but that hidden expensive in-app purchase is really scammy because you would only notice that after you bought the device, after installation and probably even after the return window. All YouTube reviewers got the pro model, which doesn’t have this artificial limitation. If I didn’t watch that video, I would noticed that after years (I don’t have enough matter/thread devices to justify the purchase of a hub yet)
And also the door opening sensor isn’t included in the box but of course YouTube reviewers are showing it as part of the kit because they got all included. And the product page doesn’t specify that explicitly.
Searched the user manual in PDF to learn more about the product, it’s 4 sentences that explain absolutely nothing
So in the end I wanted the base model over the pro because for me having 4 AAs instead of a “proprietary” battery pack (4 AAs in a custom plastic shell) is much better and giving direct full internet access to the door lock via WiFi is too scary… but between the missing opening sensor, the IAP, the build quality, I think I will choose another one
Nice this looks compatibile, except for the open sensor, my door has an ultra thick frame and it’s only possible to install it at 12 cm, while the guide says 4 cm max. Does it really need it?
Thanks for the link, in that thread I found two promising products, Nuki and tedee.
One is small and stylish but uses a tiny expensive single use battery, the other is plasticly and bulky but uses 4 standard AAs
I’ll check specs carefully to see if they have enough torque
Edit: the 190 euro Nuki lock is advertised as “matter/thread compatible” but you need to pay a 50 euro in-app purchase in order to enable it. This is not stated anywhere, including the user manual, website and support faq. I discovered that from a YouTube review
There are so many burglars here that this kind of door is the standard in any apartment
When you close it, it’s not possible* to open it again from outside
* = only the triangular piece engages, so a professional can unlock it from outside by using a thin sheet of steel
I thought I had keys in my pocket, instead it was a different bunch. The keys were inserted in the socket from the inside, it doesn’t allow to insert the key from the other side, so I couldn’t use the backup pair that I keep in a separate location
Ah maybe I was missing the ./ , it said garage not found on path (on mobile, can’t try)
I set garage via docker and it was not impossibly hard.
Main problem is that there isn’t an admin panel and you can’t login to the docker container via docker exec, so you have to write some python (or other language of your choice) to send requests to the API port to:
Technically, it still is illegal to sell electronics without CE certification
Although a headline like “3 cubic meters of worthless famiclones have been seized” isn’t as strong
a figure which includes the value of the consoles and hundreds of licenses for the pirated programs.
So it’s just 12k consoles with 4000 pirated ROMs inside
Actual value is €300k, not 50 millions
Not having a certification doesn’t mean it’s not compliant.
It’s probably compliant, but they didn’t want to pay €50k to get it certified
It makes sense
In the serie A let me see what they can do with that money… Uhm the Juventus can’t even pay for Dusan Vlahovic (he gets €12 million - net per season)
What if the apps are installed via adb using
pm install -i "com.android.vending" /sdcard/yourapp.apk
?
For the system then the app has been installed from the play store
Or it checks online to see if the current user has a (free?) license?
Private conversations I mean
Proof that even a broken clock is right twice a day
