Ok, now I kind of want this. I only have my PC connected to the TV, so I only need the power button, volume controls, settings and the D-Pad. A specialized cover would make hitting the right buttons in the dark much easier and also remove the ads disguised as buttons.

Most amazingly, this setup is also unexpectedly resilient against merge conflicts and can sync even when two copies have changed. You wouldn't expect that from tools relying on 3rd party file syncing.

I still try to avoid it, but every time it accidentally happened, I could just merge the changes automatically without losing data.

I hate how oddly specific "Moved from Jekyll to Hugo people" is, mostly because that's exactly what I did as well. I don't use it to write any blog posts though. It's more a "Here's a list of things I've created"-generator.

... which is also not open-source. But yeah, it's areally good music player and organizer.

That's true. Personally though, it not being optional for any amount of time just shows that there's no good argument to have it be mandatory in the first place.

Someone already explained it, but here's a ranking of the different methods which are commonly used in terms of security, from bad to good:

  • No 2FA
  • SMS/Phone-based TOTP (TOTP = the normally 6 digit code)
  • App-based TOTP
  • Hardware-token-based TOTP
  • Hardware-token (Fido2/WebAuthn/Passkeys)

The naming of WSL sort of makes sense because it's actually build upon a kernel feature, which hass been mostly unused for more than a decade, called subsystems. There's the 'subsystem for Win32', which is the primary one that all Windows applications use, and then there were also the 'subsystem for POSIX' as well as the 'subsystem for 'OS/X'. WSL was simply a reboot of that technology.

The funny part is that this turned out to be too complex so WSL 2 ditched all that and simply uses a VM running the actual kernel in the background, so the name isn't even accurate anymore.

That article is a bit out of date and wasn't really true anyway. The people who are creating Pretendo, who wrote the blog post this article is based on, did an update on the situation, specifically calling out the media for their sloppy articles:

With that said, some outlets did a less than stellar job at reporting our last post, not covering some topics fully or accurately.

TL;DR: Many of the issues have already been fixed, even going so far as there are now entirely new servers in place to act as a proxy for Amazons servers to work around some security related incompatibility issues.

Annoyingly, this doesn't mean that you can register without a phone number. I hope that this is only the first step towards making that happen and not some sort of compromise of the original goal.

I still use Signal because I think it's still the best tool so far (that has people I know using it), but I'm always iffy about services using phone numbers as their primary identifier.

I don't know of any report, but just like the first one it's still using Unity, so I wouldn't worry from a compatibility perspective.
That said, the performance is apparently pretty bad, so if you care about that the experience will probably be awful on any OS.

Beyond pure principle, flashing would be very useful when it comes to extending the lifecycle of the device beyond its original purpose. They're quite powerful and could be turned into a small server for example, similar to a Raspberry Pi. While lacking in ports, they do come with a battery, wifi+cellular and multiple cameras already built in.

I was about to say, aren't most e-Bikes still "dumb"? At least that's my experience here in Germany.

The problem is less about e-Bikes specifically and more about companies locking product features to their cloud, which is frustratingly happening more and more with just about everything that's electrical.
