What side hustles have you personally seen work pretty well? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

Taking on one extra dog for a few days seems like the easiest, most chill way to make a little money on the side if you are careful about which dogs you take. Those people who sit 4+ dogs at a time are insane but must pull in a good bit of money.

If someone else has to debug the problems caused by a parent naming their child with a special character, does that make the parent the bugger? 🤔

11,000 miles (18,000 kilometers)

To put that into perspective, the circumference of the earth is ~24,000 miles. From my rough Google Earth calculations, the stated range covers the entire planet except for a tiny sliver of Antarctica and a bit of the ocean nearby.

Why would Russia need a missile with that range? Unless they just really want to take out New Zealand first, it kinda seems like they just picked the largest sensible range value (12,000 miles, halfway around the planet) and then fudged it down a bit because why would you need to fire a missile more than halfway around the planet? Just fire it in the opposite direction.

We've reached the point where they can't make phones any bigger unless you can fold them up.

Agreed though it seems nuts to pay more for a "feature" on your phone that will only cause it to wear out faster.

If AI is so rampent and used for evil purposes. Can we not use it for good purposes like creating a personalized JARVIS like in Iron Man? Would that not be better than using it for fake images? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I assume your project wasn't based on ChatGPT? It feels like a lot of the AI hate is directed at ChatGPT and its current hype wave.

What about clicking a checkbox means I'm human? How does Cloudflare determine I'm human from that? in c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml

I've recently noticed the same thing with cloudflare and Google captchas while using a VPN. I just use Bing instead while on the VPN because I never get past the Google captchas, or at least I give up after 2 or 3.

It also seems like the resolution of the browser has some impact with cloudflare. If I open a browser window in the corner of the screen, I'm basically guaranteed to get more cloudflare captchas, but if I open it full screen I only get one, maybe two.

What fresh fuckery is this? 🤦 in c/mildlyinfuriating@lemmy.world

Have you updated recently? A few weeks ago there were some changes to YouTube that basically shut down newpipe and other similar clients, but an update should have fixed that.
