This might also be the beginning of android.

So far, people have been OK with modifying the existing phones to fit their needs. We're slowly approaching the critical inconvenience point beyond which it might be easier to buy OEM parts and start assembling un-googled phones.

I record all my phone calls. It allows me to pretend not to forget all the names, dates, places and other important details we just talked about with the other person as soon as the call ends.

What I really don’t get is people delivering with someone else (also an adult) in the vehicle

A favor is just a form of debt, and debt is money. It does not matter whether it's written down on paper, or just remembered.

Steam payment headaches grow as PayPal is no longer usable for much of the world: Valve hopes to bring it back in the future, 'but the timeline is uncertain' in c/technology@lemmy.world

Wait. Bitpay is still around? That was the company Valve has used before. It was the de-facto standard for every eshop accepting bitcoin. Until they decided to implement identity checks, and only support payment from wallets implementing certain protobuf-based payment protocol. Which made them slide into obscurity pretty fast.

It was the support cost as far as I remember. Way too many people were too confused about how Bitcoin works.

Volatility was not the concern, at least for Valve. They've utilized a payment gateway that just swapped the BTC to USD right away. Which was still a single point of failure, but in case of bitcoin, the company switching a payment gateway does not affect the UX for the customer as much.

Google is a search engine for human readable content. Shodan does the same for machine readable content.

You can:

search for specific IP addresses, and it will show you the active ports, and running services.
search for a specific response header in the set of countries
browse through the screenshots of open VNC & RDP
open webcams
and more...

The free accounts can use any feature, but the list of results is limited. But if you really want to look under the deck of the internet, the subscription is worth it.
