I think they're pretty different cases.
Amazon's one was essentially a side project for them, likely fully funded in-house using their R&D (research and development) budget.
In Nate's case, it was their entire product. They received funding from investors purely for the AI functionality that didn't actually exist or work. They specifically claimed that it did work, which is how they got the money. They spent all the investor money and had essentially nothing to show for it.
At least there's some competitors now, which could be used as drop-in replacements if Let's Encrypt were to disappear.
I suspect the vast majority of certificate authorities will implement the ACME protocol eventually, since the industry as a whole is moving towards certificates with shorter expiry times, meaning that automation will essentially be mandatory unless you like manually updating certs every 90-180 days.
This is sad to read, but I just wanted to say that I love the graphics in the article. They've presented the information in a nice way.
They already factored in some amount of tariffs into the US price. It's not really that it's cheaper in Japan, but rather it's more expensive in the USA. It's also US$65 cheaper in Australia, for example, and even cheaper in the UK.
(keep in mind that advertised prices in Australia and the UK include tax, so you need to subtract the tax to compare with US prices)
The tariffs are just a lot higher than everyone expected. Nintendo were probably preparing for a 20% tariff, not a 54% one.
Maybe! I'm sure there's loopholes of some sort.
This is a rare case where a piece of consumer electronics is going to be quite a bit cheaper in Australia compared to the USA! Usually stuff costs more in Australia.
The Switch is currently US$450 and will probably go up with tariffs. Meanwhile, it's listed as AU$700 in Australia, which is AU$630 before tax (all advertised prices include tax), which is US$385.
I imagine this is going to happen for a lot of devices. I'm an Aussie living in the USA and I never thought I'd see the day when buying stuff in Australia would be cheaper. Australia has better consumer protection too, around things like repairs/refunds due to major issues even outside the warranty period.
Do you not like reading the truth?
Absolutely. The console is manufactured in Vietnam, which now has a 46% tariff. I really doubt that Nintendo's profit margin is high enough to allow them to just eat that cost.
There's no reason your media server needs to be directly exposed to the public internet. Use Tailscale. Get everyone that uses it to sign up for a Tailscale account, and add them all to your Tailnet.
Tailscale will perform better than a Cloudflare tunnel because it's a direct connection between the two peers, whereas Cloudflare tunnels route through Cloudflare.
Tailscale does have relay servers, but they're only used in very rare cases, if both peers have very strict firewalls. Almost always, the connection between two peers over Tailscale is a direct connection, so there's no extra latency (other than some small overhead for the encryption)
You could use Wireguard and manually configure it to be in a mesh config, but Tailscale makes it so much easier. I'm a big fan of their product.
I loved the explosion sound, and the "oh no" when you click the undo button. I have the Windows versions of KidPix on CD somewhere.
I don't see any mention of torrents in the article?
Building houses that are properly insulated would help far more since people wouldn't have to use heating and cooling as often, yet that doesn't seem to be a thing that builders are actually doing. I'm an Aussie living in California in a house built in the 1960s, and it's better insulated than an Aussie house built in the 2010s.
In any case, updating food packaging to include an environmental score isn't a bad idea. Hopefully it'd work out better than the health score, which is still entirely voluntary and doesn't always make sense.
