I thought about that, but they ask for enough info that they’d be able to identify me. And then they’d probably ban me. At least right now I have the option of restoring my account, even though I have no intention of doing so.

You live in a city, but most of the store chain’s customers live in the suburbs where gas is a major expense and fuel perks are a big incentive to shop at a particular store.
The store isn’t trying to promote fossil fuels. They only care about customer loyalty. Besides (they might rationalize), their customers have to buy gas somewhere so why not from us?
The one that’s not shown: Standalone Passwords app
True, it’s a private (not local) IP. It could easily have connected to a remote system, as their proof-of-concept did.
This code execs cmd.exe
and pipes output to and from a hardcoded IP. That’s pretty weird. What’s running on that IP? How does the extension know something is there?
It looks like VS Code has no review — human or automated — or enforced entitlement system that would have stopped this or at least had someone verify it was legit.
Their findings included an extension that opens an obvious reverse shell.
The Fisker Ocean has solar panels on its roof. It can add 4 or 5 miles a day if fully exposed to the sun.
Not enough to matter. It’s a gimmick.
If you don’t have an EV, you may think that EV owners are worried about range, and they’d welcome any increase. I have not found this to be true.
It’s more like having a car that starts every day with a full tank. You’re never going to burn through that in a single day. Pretty soon you don’t care about range, efficiency, or pay much attention to the battery meter. It only matters if you’re on a road trip, which for me is a couple times a year.
I would not want to give up a nice full-roof sunroof for a few extra miles a day.
Thanks. That’s good to know.
Use this shortcut from Ricky Mondello, the lead for Apple’s password development team.
I get the feeling they wanted to do a Passwords app for some time but needed to get, probably executive-level, buy-in to get it done.
Apple will get bad PR about this: they are “Sherlocking” password managers. 1Password will write a blog post about how this is actually good for them because now password management is mainstream; 3rd party password managers will decide to focus more on the enterprise market; Microsoft will come out with a competing password manager that re-uses the name of a previous product and is bundled with Edge, etc. How it always goes.
Any USB-C headphones work.
Imagine the bed is a clock. The 12 o’clock position is at the head — I don’t think anything else makes sense. That makes it unambiguous.
The positions are 3 o’clock and 9 o’clock.
Did you mean White Castle?
This report is from 2016. It’s mainly of historical interest.
Ad-based apps on your phone.
It’s been done already, you say? Not like this: the front-facing camera is used to detect eye gaze. A counter on the screen starts at 30 seconds and only counts down while you are looking at the screen. If you look away, the counter, and the ad, pauses. The app doesn’t continue until you’ve watched the entire ad.
All Mac laptops do. And my work Windows PC looks like it has one but the company was too cheap to pay for it, so all it has is a spot that looks like a fingerprint sensor.
It was added in January 2004 and is a reference to the quote in Spider Man.
There’s a great community called The Lyrics Game - !thelyricsgame@lemmy.ca - where people post AI art of song lyrics and others try to guess the song.
This would have worked great! I bet it would have been guessed quickly as “Fireflies” is frequently guessed (but to my knowledge hasn’t been one of the songs yet).
That is some unusual hair. He looks like a delighted DJ. Rapper’s Delight?
This doesn’t sound like a serious problem for a company like Google. They can afford to solve it by brute force — just put a Wi-Fi hotspot in every single room.
That’s usually how I pay if someone requests money. Venmo is owned by PayPal but my account there works just fine.
