Based on the description, my guess is that the script solved the problem of having the line interrupted by only doing a single 56k transaction per phone call.

Lots of times, phone calls were billed $$$ for the first minute and $ for every minute after that. If her script only did one transaction per call and not even using the full minute, that could add up fast.

And, given that it took a month for the bill to come, she could have been doing something wrong even during the day. Nobody would have noticed until the bill, and the 1am calls stood out the most when the bill finally came. Maybe there was a local exchange that didn’t require long distance?

Also from this fine media establishment:

• Warning: 73% of garden soil contains hidden drain chemicals affecting families for 18 months
• I tried this 2-ingredient summer mask at 53 and my dark spots faded 70% in 3 weeks (dermatologists explain why)
• Cold plunge warning: this 15-second exposure raises senior blood pressure by 40 mmHg

Also, for a writer named “John,” he seems to really like wearing women’s clothing

And I don’t know where he finds the time to get dressed considering he’s written 18 articles so far today some in just 14 minutes.

many book scanners use a wedge shape and two angled cameras to scan the pages when the book is held open at about a 5 degree angle

That’s me with United Healthcare. They charged me $80 for an annual checkup that was supposed to be free. Part of that checkup was a $14 cholesterol screening that was literally listed among the free things that came with my plan.

I contested it, they said that they reviewed my case and found nothing wrong. I escalated, which involved writing and physically mailing an appeal. They sent me the same response back that they reviewed the case and found nothing wrong.

So yes. “Fuck it” as the article says. $80 is not worth it.

Very well executed, though not sure how I feel about the glass plate squishing the pages down like that.

Migrated a server to a new drive by copying all the files with rsync and chrooting into it. Nothing too impressive from a linux standpoint, but I had no idea that was possible until I tried it.

The issue is not going up, it’s going over. If we only cared about the private sector getting people into space, that happened on a fully reusable vehicle twenty years ago.

The problem is getting things to stay in space. Not trying to Elon-stan here, but getting a rocket into orbit is many fold more difficult than just getting into space.

cosmetically tweaked

It would have to be super tweaked considering the phone you referenced has four cameras, and a notch style front camera.

My bet is that this is a 10 second photoshop job and the actual phone will look nothing like that.

I mean if you do a difference blend of two of the cameras, you get a perfectly black circle (minus some blending at the edges):

.

This means that the cameras are exact pixel-perfect copies of each other arranged in that order by photoshop. They don’t exist on any phone.

Accurate thumbnail

I feel like I remember someone doing this like 10 years ago. Can’t find a link.

eventually

It’s been ten fucking years. They are one of the top five companies in the world. What are we waiting for here?

All of the investors that originally paid into the idea have already made their money. There is no reason to continue the project.

Even as pitched, you still have to print out a QR code and staple it to your front lawn for every package. Presumably, they want you to be home for it since it’s dropped out in the open and might bounce into the street.

Amazon announced using drones in 2014. In pop culture, drone delivery is like an assumed common practice. Yet fucking nobody gets their packages delivered by drone. It’s been over a decade.

These robots are vaporware. Amazon will get a stock bump and that’s the whole point.

It’s in an AlphaSmart. I’m working through disassembling the ROM to add some new features.

I’ve been working on disassembling some 8-bit code from the 90s. Fuckers returned bits from functions using the overflow bit. Nuts.

Looks light a oversight on their part. Thanks for the advice.

I remember reading that copying a database while it’s in use is risky. Good to know pg_dump handles this correctly.

It would cost like $1k for some YouTuber to buy a few burner android phones, slap prepaid sims in them, and then talk to them about their love of Hyundai and protein powder. It would blow the whole lid off whatever conspiracy were all just resigning ourselves to.

Such an easy thing to test and yet there’s zero evidence that it’s happening. At least the way people assume.
