If by “privacy settings” you mean controlling what system permissions the Home app has, you’re out of luck. It’s a semi-default app and may be more deeply embedded into iOS than is apparent.

If you’re trying to control what other apps have access to HomeKit data, you can find that in Privacy & Security.

No. Just hemp-derived THC products (like Delta-8 and THCA)

You’ll get an email from Framework when the order is preparing to ship, and you’ll get another email with a tracking number when it is on the way.

This is how I do it. I followed this guide to get it set up, and this one to make it work behind a VPN (Tailscale)

That’s correct. This proposition closes the loophole used to sell hemp-derived THC products, but it does not impact anything statutorily defined as “marijuana”. That’s still federally illegal but permitted on a per-state basis

The 2018 Farm Bill revised the statutory definitions of “marijuana” and “hemp”. Hemp products contain less than 0.3% D9 THC by dry weight, and anything else is considered marijuana. This loophole has allowed companies to sell intoxicating products containing other forms of THC like D8 without adhering to the same regulations that legal marijuana faces, or in states where marijuana is still illegal. The new bill expands the definition of hemp to include all forms of THC and sets a 0.4-mg limit per package, effectively outlawing hemp-derived THC products. This does not impact the classification of marijuana, which is still federally illegal but available on a per-state basis.

To be clear, this proposition would ban hemp-derived THC. Gas stations and head shops shouldn’t be selling unregulated products like that anyway. Most of them are probably unfit for consumption.

That said, as the article points out, this provision would have consequences beyond Delta-8 vape carts and the like. I think the correct approach is federal legalization.

It’s required by US law for organizations to collect this data on donors. It’s also to your own benefit, as most charitable donations are taxed deductible 

I share this pipe dream. Increased awareness of and access to self-hosted services encourages decentralization, reduces our reliance on massive data centers, and empowers the public to own their data. For the hobbyist, I think this is already in reach.

However, in order for such a system to succeed in the wider market, it needs to also be cheap and convenient. Even a Raspberry Pi goes for around $80 these days, and storage is becoming more expensive by the day thanks to AI companies. iCloud storage is only 99 cents a month. If, for example, ISPs were to bundle this software and storage with their modem hardware, it could happen. Hell, they could even charge a small fee to provide you with a publicly accesible domain.

My first DSLR was the Nikon D70s, but I’ve been shooting Fujifilm for a couple of years now and I’ll never turn back. The X-T30 II is my weapon of choice. I’m happy to see Fuji is dedicated to the product line, but I don’t see myself upgrading anytime soon

I’d argue this is nothing new. I recall coming across some truly horrendous stuff on LiveLeak, Reddit, and even YouTube when I was a child. Most of the time, I was not looking for it. The Internet is no place for the developing mind…

I have both an M4 Mac mini and a PC build with an i9 12100K and an RTX 3060. The M4 absolutely smokes my PC except in GPU benchmarks. However, because the M4 has more integrated memory for the GPU compared to the 3060, I still find its overall performance to be an improvement. I’ve used CaptureOne before but I primarily work with the Affinity suite now. I think you will find 16 GB sufficient, but I would highly recommend 32 GB to give yourself headroom.

Anyone who read the thread will see that the OP pretty much dropped it after Nirav’s response. Framework is a tiny company without a PR machine for these occasions, and I doubt they knowingly sponsored a project based on the developers’ political ideologies. Let’s all take some deep breaths.

Very cool. Reminds me of the Madness markdown server.

According to W3Techs, Cloudflare is used for 80.9% of all known reverse proxy endpoints which account for 19.8% of the entire Internet. It’s safe to say it’s used to host both legal and illegal content with that broad of a scope.

They are an American company and must cooperate with law enforcement when abuse is reported. If you’re planning on hosting pirated content, that most definitely violates their terms of service and will get you in trouble.

The Music app (also called Apple Music, formerly iTunes) is a library manager at its core. You don’t need an Apple Music subscription to use it. It runs on macOS and Windows.

If you’re an Apple household, Apple Music (iTunes) is still great. I don’t pay for streaming services; I buy music on iTunes/Bandcamp and rip CDs.

Apple Music has a fantastic interface for managing metadata, creating playlists, and performing complex batch jobs with AppleScript. I sync my iPhone and iPod Nano every time I add a new album, and I host my media folder on NextCloud for listening on other devices.

Thanks! What kinds of things do you intend to do with your lab? I felt that the Pi was suitable for most everything except media pipelines.

Love the evolution! How are you measuring the power consumption of your devices? I’d be interested in profiling my build as well.

I had the first and second generation AirPods Pros, and both unfortunately had this issue. I’ve read reports from others online that it also occurs on Beats earbuds. Something to do with the ANC hardware.

At any rate, I think the Sony buds are just as good in terms of sound quality and ANC. Their version of “Transparency Mode” isn’t quite as nice, but that’s not a dealbreaker for me.
