It’s always a little awkward when this many deals survive what was supposed to be the “end” of a big Amazon sale. Nevertheless, I’m happy to say that most of the sale’s heaviest-hitting deals are still around — Apple’s discounts on its Mac Mini, MacBook Air, and AirPods Pro 3, plus all of Sony’s current […]

The Retro Song Bird may look similar to devices like Epilogue's GB Operator with a slot on top for Game Boy cartridges, but it's not designed for playing retro games.

Anti-bot detection is layered . Enterprise protection from Cloudflare, Akamai, Imperva, DataDome, and PerimeterX combines IP reputation, fingerprinting, and behavioral analysis. Proxy type has to m...

Codex pricing is not one number: Codex is bundled into ChatGPT Free, Go, Plus, Pro, Business and Enterprise, each with its own usage allowance, and then extended with token-based credits or an API key. I went through the Codex pricing page, the developer docs and the usage-limit tables to lay out what each tier actually buys, how the per-model limits work, and where the money goes once you hit them. Ask “how much does Codex cost” and the honest answer is “it depends which ChatGPT plan yo...

In this blog post, we will see how I turned our family's speed test ritual into a family internet speed guessing game that you can play on your own Wi-Fi. Every family has that one argument. "The internet is slow again." "No, it is fine, you are just streaming in 4K." Nobody really knows who is right, because nobody knows the actual speed. So we started guessing before every speed test. It became a game, and the game became a website . Let's see how it works and how I built it. The aut...

ICSee WiFi camera, shown in the QuarkView camera catalogue. A live camera image is easy to mistake for a working recording system. You open the app, see the driveway and receive an event notification. Later, when you need the clip, the card may have stopped recording, the event may never have triggered, or the footage may already have been overwritten. Choosing the card is only part of solving that problem. The useful acceptance test is whether the intended person can find, play and expor...

Built with vanilla JS, no frameworks, no build step. Sometimes that's all you need.

Your backend verifies Firebase ID tokens. You want to call it from curl or Postman as a specific user. Firebase gives you no button for that. The usual answers are a sign-in REST call with an email and password (only works for password users), the Auth emulator (not your real project), or a small Admin SDK script that creates a custom token and exchanges it. I wrote that script one too many times, so I turned it into a desktop app. What the flow actually is Getting an ID to...
