Too bad many webcare / social media corporate accounts respond to every question (even ones of importance to the general public) along these lines:
we extremely apologize for the challenge encountered, customer relations haven’t forgotten about you, it wasn’t our intention, kindly follow back, share full names, reachable WhatsApp number via DM, so we can assist further

When you join a Wi-Fi network that shows a captive portal on the iPhone, iOS opens the captive portal in a Safari web view regardless of which default browser you’ve chosen.
This little experiment implements a captive portal that detects the browser. Brave was the default browser, but iOS opened the captive portal in Safari. The second screenshot shows what this sample website displays if opened with Brave.

The feature reminds me on how archive.today saves content.
Both the zhot and tweetzhot repositories are on my list of tools to try. They might make writing blog posts easier.
They are both based on [Wayback/Archive] puppeteer/puppeteer: Headless Chrome Node.js API
…
Puppeteer is a Node library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome or Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer runs headless by default, but can be configured to run full (non-headless) Chrome or Chromium.…
It demonstrates headless browser usage and can for instance:
- Generate screenshots and PDFs of pages.
- Crawl a SPA (Single-Page Application) and generate pre-rendered content (i.e. “SSR” (Server-Side Rendering)).
- Automate form submission, UI testing, keyboard input, etc.
- Create an up-to-date, automated testing environment. Run your tests directly in the latest version of Chrome using the latest JavaScript and browser features.
- Capture a timeline trace of your site to help diagnose performance issues.
- Test Chrome Extensions.
Note any headless browser will have some trouble rendering single-page applications.

For my link archive: [Wayback/Archive] s3-ocr: Extract text from PDF files stored in an S3 bucket
One reason is archival of books. Even (or maybe especially) in IT, books already have historic meaning especially in narrower fields where they often are not available in the Internet Archive or have been scanned by Google Books.

After researching the below tweet, I found out that many LG monitors have this limitation on downstream ports, depending on how the upstream USB-C port is connected:
Their manuals phrase it like this:
- When the USB C-C cable is connected between Upstream port of monitor and Host PC, the Downstream port of
monitor support USB 2.0 device.- When the USB C-A cable is connected between Upstream port of monitor and Host PC, the Downstream port of
monitor support USB 3.0 device.
However, Host PC must support USB 3.0 function.
This means that in USB C-C land (for which Apple was basically a driving force, but nowadays many laptops only have USB-C connections) your monitor downstream ports are limited to USB 2.0.
If I read the various comments correctly, the additional limitation is that in the USB C-C case, the downstream ports are non-powered.
Which means I will avoid LG monitors at all cost.
Tweet: [Wayback/Archive] anna (arar) meow 𓃠 on X: “i have this monitor connected to my mac with a single USB C-C cable. why can’t i have USB 3.0 speeds on the downstream ports??? why does it work with the USB C-A cable?? is there a way around it? or is there just not enough bandwith for both video and these silly ports?”

There is a Blast-RADIUS exploit that makes many uses of RADIUS vulnerable as they depend on MD5, and MD5 collisions have been sped up considerably. Basically only RADIUS TLS seems safe now.
The Blast-RADIUS logo on the right reminded me about using grenades in a game 40+ years old, so lets digress: Archive.org is such a great site, with for instance the original Apple ][ Manual of Castle Wolfenstein by MUSE Software (the manual is written in Super-Text which they also sold):
The PDF from [Archive] Instruction Manual: Castle Wolfenstein from Muse Software : Free Download, Borrow, and Streaming : Internet Archive is at
[Archive.org PDF view/Archive.is] archive.org/download/1982-castle-wolfenstein/1982-castle-wolfenstein.pdf
The trick in that game when entering a room full of SS-officers was to throw a grenade into a chest of grenades in the middle of that room, then quickly leaving the room, waiting a few seconds then re-entering that room.
Not many moves further, you would find the chest with the war plans and find the exit, then finish the game.
