It's our hardware so we should be able to select another provider or host our own. Not that I consider ad tracking a "service".

Draw.io says it will use Apache but "with an extra line forbidding usage (...)". It is not the normal Apache license. The extra line is a big difference in principle.

I hate scamming people but I think that should be fixed in another way.

It seems "open source" means different things for different people.

If you could see the code but were not allowed to redistribute it then I'd call it "source-available".. but you can redistribute the code, in this unusual case.

Forbidding reselling to any degree makes it "non-free" (as in freedom), which is the important part. The term "open source" was created to speak about "free software" without the moral or political aspects of user freedom.

Crazy to see the thread of people using "open source" differently. The term "open source" may have successed in replacing the older term "free software" (in popularity) but apparently it can also fail to be clear. "Open" can mean various degrees of openess, or lack thereof in this case.

It's free as in free food but adding an extra line to restrict how it can be used, or with who, makes it non-free software (free as in freedom).

Do most technical Windows users know about Recall? Or is this the case of them not caring?

Tis but a symptom of the user's click-rate. Faces are the "shiny keys" for humans.

Totally uncool man.

Not sure what I could have expected from it back then. I just recall it being recommended online and ended up just using Win Media player (with the cool graphical effects).

 

Work are chucking out a "Cisco 887VA-M" integrated services router.

Anyone know if I can install some custom OS/firmware via the USB on the back?

I expect this is just e-waste but maybe it has some use as emergency switch :)

 

I had not heard of a weighted blanket until I saw that image and searched for what it might refer to. Are they useful for adults too? Will ask my ADHD friend if they ever had one, might make a good gift.

The image looks like it could be used as a real emoji (expressing comfort). Who made it? I would like to use the image if permission has been given (e.g. Creative Commons licence).
