I’ve been really happy with Kagi since switching.
I moved over to TabloTV about 8 or 9 years ago. I got tied of fixing stuff when I would update something and Tablo just worked on the Roku without much fuss.
I’m still happy with and love the Tablo, but it’s no better than MythTV was, just easier to maintain.
Pay to play was the problem there. I had the highest ranking joke page on webcrawler for a stint, but Yahoo wanted $500 to put me on top. My 15 year old self was not interested.
I started cooking, period. My wife used to cook, now I do. It’s weird, but the pandemic totally flipped our roles.
There are many ways around this, like using intermediary services like PayPal or a privacy.com credit card with ephemeral numbers.
Crypto, while one way, is not the only way.
I mean, I don’t disagree. I’d rather that too! But you’re arguing if it’s good policy to do this or not, that’s a different argument vs. whether they legally and ethically can.
I’m not familiar with Canadian law, but in the States, I can film someone without their permission in public. I can’t do certain things with that recording, but I can record them. In this case, I see it as just that. Recording, doing some instant analysis, recording non identifying metadata, and forgetting the recording.
That would make it gdpr compliant, at least.
It’s a public space. You have no expectation of privacy. It’s the same reason license plate scanners are a thing.
It’s the automated equivalent of eyes.
Everyone seems concerned about what it could be doing, not what it is doing.
I could sit next to a vending machine and make notes on the gender and sex of each patron for demographic purposes, nothing would be illegal.
Why? Well, that’s easy, I want to stock my vending machine in order to make money. Instead of testing different layouts which would take a lot of time, I could predict how well certain stock would do based on preexisting market research.
This appears to be just that, but with a camera.
Now, you can argue “but it could be worse”! That’s not a valid argument. It could always be worse for things you don’t know about. If it holds up to be true, as stated, it’s just what it is.
So true. That leaf was a nice car, but that degradation was terrible.
I drove a leaf for 3 years and it had 80 to start with and ended around 67. At the end, it was a pain, but didn’t notice until around 70mi range. Somehow, 75 would get me from home, to the airport, to work, and back home again with room to breathe. At 67, it was nail biting.
To the point, 150 is probably good for quite a lot of people.
I used it before and still use it. No issues with my $5 linode.

It’s not a cut and dry yes or no for me.
Why wouldn’t they?
I just had my screen replaced because the L in LCD started oozing all over. It was $2200 which didn’t include the radio that cost an extra $500. So, not 10k, but not cheap either. On the plus side, outside of New tires, that’s the only thing I’ve done to the car in 8 years.
You can only threaten to cancel if there’s an alternative. I tried this and they were like: okay man, just be forewarned that there’s a connection fee when you come back.
They were right, it was more $ to follow through with my threat and they knew it.
I don’t think so in this context. This is probably more like SSL cert trusting or some private/public key pair.
I couldn’t get it set up to allow each of my family members to have their own email address on the domain. It was basically the opposite of the “no catch all” feature other hosts seem to have - Outlook custom domain was 100% catch all to 1 account. I very quickly undid my partial setup and am back in Google for now.
I might be wrong, but they meta-search across multiple providers, including their own. The real benefit is that YOU can choose which search subjects to prioritize when trying to find something specific.
For normal search stuff, this feels like “old Google” (no ai spam). For detailed searching, its better than any other engine I’ve used.
