A couple years ago I picked up some Autel MX Sensors which support "cloning" through their diagnostic tool. Then I cloned my summer tire TPMS IDs to be the same TPMS IDs as my winter tires, and now I can swap them seasonally in only a few minutes with no need to make the car relearn them.

In this case, 80TB / 6h20m flight is roughly 28Gbps


NextDNS has a "Cache Boost" option that, when enabled, clamps answers to a minimum TTL to mitigate things like this. I've noticed that some Samsung IoT domains also have aggressively low TTL.


Here's a doctor who made some humorous observations about how AI is being used by their peers in writing suddenly-coherent patient notes: https://youtu.be/WgnWgIOer6s


WeWork was just a few years too early :)


I thought WW-style was mostly hot desks or hot offices? I was thinking something semi-permanent with additional privacy. Maybe that exists and I’m out of the loop.


Wework still exists and prevalent.


Beyond simple superglue, https://www.thistothat.com/ is a great reference for bonding between more obscure pairings of materials.


This always gives the strongest option for bonding two materials. But what if I want an ok-ish bonding but care more about the toxicity?


Then you'll probably wind up using the same 3 or 4 glues for everything. Actually almost everyone will do that because few have a magnificent glue collection.

Super glue, shoe goo, and epoxy are going to give pretty good bonding for their use cases but are more toxic.

Hot glue and titebond III seem to be safe-ish(Hot glue doesn't exactly smell very healthy when you use it though!) But require technique and experience to use and know what stuff to not even try using them with.

And gorrilla tape is probably good enough half the time.

UV glue I just don't have any experience at all with, but it seems to be gaining popularity. Just don't use the nail polish and blast your hands with UV too much!

Mechanical fastening is usually least toxic and often stronger.

Paper or hemp cord willer or wrapping is often helpful.

But my favorite of all is to design things such that you're not putting lots of forces on a joint in the first place, then it's less important how you make said joint. Look at a basic ugly cinder block and scrap wood shelf. The load goes straight down compressing the blocks, gravity is doing most of the work here, so friction holds it together.


Thanks for sharing, I remember seeing this site a while ago and forgot to bookmark it.


A few months ago I was able to bypass creating an account (and sidestepping all the dark patterns) by just calling their automated phone number and unfreezing with my PIN. Was pretty painless.


How did you get a PIN in the first place?


Phil's Lab is a really detailed channel covering multilayer PCB design skills. He shares a lot of nuance that would be gained only through years of trial/error or an apprenticeship.

Love watching PhilsLab - I dabble a bit with PCB design on my own YouTube channel and the difference between an amateur tinkerer (me) and someone who is an expert in it is amazing.


Vaguely reminiscent of "Smart Pipe" from Adult Swim: https://youtu.be/DJklHwoYgBQ


Instead of paying for a separate SIM, I've been piggybacking on the "data only" SIMs that Google Fi let's you add to a normal subscription. No extra per-SIM fees, and you just pay for whatever data it uses at $10/gb.

That sounds like a nice idea. Unfortunately I don't believe anything similar exists here in the UK.

I can pay my mobile provider an extra £7.50 per month for a "second SIM" to share the allowance from my main SIM (you're effectively paying to rent another number).

It's not a terrible expense, but for something I need to send an SMS maybe 1 per quarter is a little much. I guess if you look at it as a "service" it's not bad, but this was a home thing, nothing critical would be lost if I couldn't get my home IP until I got home. Now I use DDNS using a small piece of Go code I wrote to update the domain on my Digital Ocean account as a form of "free" DDNS, it runs on my router on connect/reboot.


It surprises me how many people are willing to let Google know their home address.


You don't need Google Fi for Google to know your home address. An Android phone will do that. Or Chrome. Or really just broadcasting wifi. Really the problem is you have a home address and someone will sell it to Google.


I like what you did there. Google is a given, a person having a home address is the problem, the collection method is a variable solution.


They already know.
