I was thinking the same thing... paid access for high volume users or scrapers could actually help fund the non-profit. Maybe let website owners decide which scrapers are allowed to use their content, or allow them to get paid for use of it. If news and other sites were getting paid, maybe they could go back to optimizing for good content instead of clicks.

They already provide this service at https://archive-it.org/archive-it/ though for some reason they don't seem to publicize it. Some info at https://help.archive.org/help/archive-it-information/ as well.

I think that would get into murky water really quickly with the rights holders (/content creators) not exactly being thrilled the Wayback Machine is essentially monetizing their IP behind their back.

It wouldn't be behind their back, like I said, "Maybe let website owners decide which scrapers are allowed to use their content, or allow them to get paid for use of it."

You wouldn't need archive.org for that - you could negotiate with the actual website. I think they'd demand quite a lot of money.

Interesting, in all the years I have never noticed that IP has 2 meanings (well probably more...) Yeah, I am an engineer and usually try to avoid the legal BS. Although I hate that AI has made stealing legal if you are big enough.

If the money was guaranteed to only be used to pay the costs, there probably wouldn't be any problems

No. What happened to their remote library scheme? They did not make if for profit, but still...

> The keyboard remains unfixed, as is tradition.

Jeez. I wish they could just roll the keyboard back to iOS 7. That's the last version where it was good.


> with several decent TVs in the house I'd watch movies most of the time with one of them

Once these headsets have comparable image quality, I could see them being very engaging for TV series, sports, and movies. I often wear headphones at night when I'm watching content to avoid waking my family. Being able to do that in any room, with an even larger "screen" would be really useful in some cases.


For sure. I think this is more for someone who wants something portable though.

Agreed, I think that's the big selling point: a private screen you can take with you.

But the Steam Frame specifically is not well suited for this. Something more minimal like the Big Screen Beyond 2 would be better, and XR-type glasses (like those from Viture) which present as standard monitors would be better still.


Yep, and at that point it doesn't matter. I mean, I know Apple likes to paint the back of the fence, but the technology isn't quite there for no crease just yet.

I highly doubt they're going to put out a product under their name that has such an obvious defect after six months. Something tells me they cracked this fully, and that's why this phone has been in development for over a year, so they can get actual long-term repeated use of it to see just how much this "crease" will or will not show.

It's Apple, not a budget Samsung. They 100% would not put out a product that starts having obvious lines down the center of it after using it for a couple months. You'll see when the 6-month reviews come in.


I fully agree. I'm just saying we already know the crease is slightly visible on day one and that's the best they could get it at this point. I'm sure they wanted to do better than that but the tech just isn't there yet.

Very cool idea. It would be nice if you could enable your camera and then control mod/pitch with head up/down left/right motions.

It's easier to get permits in Texas than most other states, which is especially important for the power generation that some of these data centers are building.

For our internal tooling we use something similar to a bash profile config file with name/value pairs separated by linebreaks. So, our configs look something like:

env=staging

db=0.0.0.0

#descriptive comment

etc=true


ini file format is pretty much this

[section_name]

key=value

key=value


No this one specifically for me, but same idea. I want to use safari, especially for battery life, but there are too many behaviors about Safari that I can't change.


> the second a tab is off

Can you explain what you mean by this phrase?


A conventional way to navigate GUIs is by using the Tab key to jump from control to control.

A common way this can fail is if the Tab key traverses through the UI elements in an unexpected order.
