I don't think High Valyrian is an actual language...

When the missile is about to strike Santa's sleigh he opens his bag of tricks and inside it goes into an extra dimensional space. Then later he gives a nice missile, refueled and deactivated with a bow on it, to a Ukrainian artillerist who's been good this year.

Didn't we use things like irc in the past?

Bad faith is trying to pretend that antizionism in 2023 is different to antisemitism.

This argument is bad faith. Or you're just plain wrong. You can pick.

You're all over this thread defending Israel and now you're equating Jewish people with the Israeli government. Bad faith arguing.

To pull this off, the Raspberry Pi is programmed to act as a router. Any lookups that are associated with Google’s push service are redirected to a nonexistent IP and blocked from reaching your phone. When the mailbox door is opened and you place a phone inside, an ESP-32 is activated which sends a notification to the Pi that it’s okay to allow push notifications through.

I'm not well versed in networking, but this reads to me as it blocks and sends all notifications to the void and then while in the box the Pi allows new ones through.

The question then is do push notifications need an ACK and if they fail to receive one do they try again? I know cell carriers can tell when you're out of connection and can delay notifications and packets until you reconnect but this is slightly different.

With how this routes push notifications to an invalid IP, will they be resent or are they lost? When you put your phone is the box will you get all your missed notifications or just ones coming in while it's in the box?

Also your guests will think their phone is broken or your Wi-Fi is down.

Musk HATES hates public transportation. Which is weird because he's in a private jet when he travels anyways.

Same thing for ttrpgs. That was pretty much all I used reddit for the last few years. It has since just gone away. I've functionally stopped accruing new rpg creators and news.

Also comics. I followed a lot of new creators in the last few years. Most of them only post on Reddit.

I have a keyless fob. It's great. It's also got an actual key in it in case the battery dies. Which it has before while I was out. It's also a 2013 so this isn't new tech.

Using a phone app as the main or sole method of unlocking (I saw the card bit, that's good) is insane. If your phone dies, if you lock yourself out of your phone, drop it in a puddle, if you get locked out of the app, if the app messed up, etc. All ways to keep you out of your car. Which in many cases is a safety and health risk.

People who rent? I see several places near me with a cable coming out of an outdoor socket or a home into the parking lot (actually hidden a bit so it doesn't impact the sidewalk). Overnight should be enough if you aren't planning a roadtrip the next day.

At least Raphael is charming.
