Just received this email as well. I purchased a lifetime membership during Black Friday a couple years back. They're quoting the following terms as justification:

I used to really like Splitwise for group expenses, but they at some point throttled the free accounts to 4 transactions/day, which is painful. Paying a monthly subscription isn't worthwhile if I only use it in bursts a couple times a year, so its back to spreadsheets.
Apple doesn't have "way fewer CVEs for macOS/iOS". Apple ranks 5th overall, and 4th so far in 2023, by vendor. In 2015 they were #1. CVEs track closely with the number of users a platform has, and the incentives to comprise that platform.
The New York Times maintains archives going back over a hundred years, there's no risk of loss of information over time, which is why the article leans into the "stealth edits" problem over the loss of information problem. The NYTs doesn't need the IA and has every right to block it.
That relies on NYT still being in business to make their archives available, among other failures modes.
Historians, genealogists, etc. find it valuable to look at news reports from several hundred years ago. It's important to society for a prominent paper's articles to be archived somewhere independent of the news organization itself.
This is one of my biggest pet peeve's with a media. They will get something flat out wrong, stand beside it, and then much later go back and secretly change it without putting anything that it was changed. I would trust an Archived New York Times story over one that was in the NYT archives.
That's why I choose newspapers that provide a PDF version of their newspaper :)
I'm not sure what the outcome was but at some time Portugal's Expresso's archives were deleted by a cyberattack. At the time (never rechecked) I got the feeling the older articles were lost.
At the height of bitcoin I wonder if the value of e-waste magnetic storage should have technically been higher due to the possibility of salvaging a lost wallet. Like ore mining, but for data.
I have not exploited this but can say with certainty that it would be an effective means of getting things like online banking credentials. But I imagine a venn diagram of people who have a local wallet and those who wipe or destroy their drive before recycling an old computer is extremely close to a circle.
Asked ChatGPT the following
"I have a static HTML file I'd like to host in AWS S3 using a CloudFront distribution. I'd also like to manage the domain's DNS in Route 53. Can you write me the Terraform to do this?"
I’m not sure about where you live but where I live (Canada) you can’t legally do your own heat pump installations. You need to be certified to handle refrigerants and that sort of thing.
I'm from the UK. I was under the impression you could do it yourself here but couldn't find a definitive answer.
It's absolutely something I wouldn't take on myself though. Changing a light switch or rewiring a plug, sure - but I'd be guaranteed to make a huge, expensive, inefficient mess with a project like that.
Yes, for example a mini split unit. You can purchase these at the hardware store and install them yourself. You just can’t do this with units that integrate into a central heating/cooling system which require the installation and charging of the refrigerant lines.
Just in case you don't know it, you may be interested in the videos about heat pumps, and other related technologies on 'Just Have a Think' channel https://www.youtube.com/@JustHaveaThink
The section "MOST ACTIVE ORGANIZATIONS" shouldn't be taken as a list of the most active organizations in the world editing Wikipedia, just the most active organizations that made an IP list the tool is using.
Anyone using the very large number of static IP addresses on these lists will be pooled as an edit by the organization that maintains that IP range. This means a seaman in the Navy editing a TV show article on their free time may be pooled into the "Navy Network Information Center (NNIC)". It doesn't necessary mean the NNIC has a special interest in editing 'Breaking Bad' episode synopses.
