The one thing he didn’t plan for was that auto-uploading the files this way required a paid account.
“There was really only one reasonable solution: my hamster now has Strava Premium,” de Buck said.
Love the commitment to the bit. I was unsurprised to learn that the owner is a physicist and an injured runner meaning he has both the time and motivation to geek out on data and live vicariously.
You do! It's the DDA (Disability Discrimination Act). A famous case is Maguire v SOCOG 2000 over the Olympic website. Also Coles got sued in 2014.
And if you do get a true believer to visit the real Google Earth and see the lack of the faked addition, they'll claim that Google replaced the "real" version with what they're seeing.
Lots of both legal and illegal devices in people's homes surreptitiously use their connection to do that already. E.g. Bright Data sells proxy access with 400M+ residental IPs via its SDK embedded in lots of smart TVs. AI scrapers love this one weird trick!
I watched the source videos and in the second the prof says of the two people who contested the cheating charge, one managed to get her grade changed by claiming she used dark mode so saw the "hidden" white text. Smart argument, I wonder if he actually believed it.

I really doubt Tolkien would be in favour of this.
I thought parts felt like AI and parts felt like a British human writing it.
AI(?):
But here is the thing: this is a Volta GPU with 16GB of HBM2 memory, 5120 CUDA cores, and I picked it up for about £150 on eBay. The compute is still real. The VRAM is still real. And the memory bandwidth is where it gets genuinely surprising.
Human (?):
So I shoved some jumper wires into the connector and jammed the other ends into a spare fan header (turn your volume up)
I suspect he's used some AI polishing tool to turn his draft into a publishable post.
Is this something we can opt out of, like how we can for Play Protect?
Bruce Power cut into the roof of an operating nuclear station, hauled eight steam generators weighing 100 metric tons each (about 110 US tons) out through the top, and lowered brand-new ones into the same hole. Then it brought the reactor back online on June 8, according to Bruce Power, seven months ahead of schedule.
I was picturing some burly Aussie-Canadian lumberjack called Bruce Power doing all this without breaking a sweat.
Covid vaccination rates were higher in the UK than the rest of Europe and exposure to this fraud is credited as why. Brits had built up some immunity to vaccine FUD and had the lowest rate of vaccine hesitancy.
I take some glee in the fact that he's not antivax, (just wanted people to use his) but now has to be a speaker at antivax conferences as they're the only group who can stand him.
Also from the article:
If the worst happens and the dome is punctured, 2,000 tonnes of CO2 will enter the atmosphere. That’s equivalent to the emissions of about 15 round-trip flights between New York and London on a Boeing 777. “It’s negligible compared to the emissions of a coal plant,” Spadacini says. People will also need to stay back 70 meters or more until the air clears, he says.
I'm guessing it mostly flew in circles, since it's a test flight that happened "at Plattsburgh International Airport" instead of between two locations. 27 minute flight, whatever that's worth.
