i don’t know what to tell you mate, but i have, and do this regularly: i travel to berlin yearly and drink multiple coffees per day when im there… they have them labelled as their size names, but they are 8oz-12oz sizes: what they call them is irrelevant; it’s the standard when buying the cups, so they are 8oz etc sizes

it’s also kinda irrelevant what a shot of espresso is: they come in 4oz cups… this is the standard that a cafe will give… a shot of espresso is a shot of espresso; the volume of liquid doesn’t really change, and you wouldn’t pay more for a larger amount without extra coffee anyway

for flat whites etc, the standard GLOBALLY is an 8oz cup with a single shot (or sometimes 2 depending on the bean - really that can vary depending on the cafe and how mild their beans are) full to the top with steamed milk… that’s it - there’s no ifs buts or maybes… it’s the same in germany, it’s the same in france, it’s the same in belgium, it’s the same in australia, and yes it’s the same even in the US

even starbucks behind their ridiculous names for their cups use standard cup sizes: a short is 8oz, a tall is 12oz, a grande is 16oz

yet again the US does weird af stuff:

The cup currently used in the United States for nutrition labelling is defined in United States law as 240 ml

Australia, Canada, New Zealand, and some other members of the Commonwealth of Nations, being former British colonies that have since metricated, employ a “metric cup” of 250 millilitres

Canada now usually employs the metric cup of 250 ml

Similar units in other languages and cultures are sometimes translated “cup”, usually with various values around 1⁄5 to 1⁄4 of a litre.

so let’s not base anything metric on what the US does

and as for cup sizes

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coffee_cup

Cafes use various sizes of coffee cups to serve mocha, lattes, and other coffee drinks. They are typically 225, 336, 460, and sometimes 570 ml

225ml = 7.61oz

336ml = 11.36oz

460ml = 15.55oz

which pretty much exactly matches up to the 8, 12, and 16oz standard cup sizes as i mentioned

if you walk into pretty much any cafe in the world that has a barista and not just a machine, you’ll be able to ask for an 8oz flat white and you’ll get roughly the same amount of beverage in the same sized cup

these are cup sizes… you typically get a shot of espresso, ristretto, etc in a 4oz cup

like these: https://foodpackagingonline.com.au/products/cups/paper-coffee-cups/single-wall-coffee-cups/ccswwh04

similarly you get things like a magic (3/4 cup double ristretto flat white served in a tulip cup - a tulip cup is ~180ml - same as 6oz) in a 6 or 8oz (depending on the cafe) just not entirety full

also, regular that i put in the comment is 8oz, which is ~256ml - not 500ml; 250ml is a metric cup, so it’s a pretty reasonable regular size even in roughly metric terms

as much as I love SI units, coffee sizes for decent cafes are already pretty standard across the globe:

4oz (shots) 6oz (small) 8oz (regular) 12oz (large) 16oz (iced, etc)

this entire thread is about the STG petition, and thus about the theoretical possibility of how laws could change

mandatory minimum warranties are also not relatively minimal effort and yet we have laws that require those… most consumer protection standards aren’t minimal effort: that doesn’t mean we don’t make laws to ensure consumers get what they are expecting when they hand over money

why shouldn’t handing over source code to a game that’s being shut down (and apparently that nobody finds any value in since it wasn’t even bought in bankruptcy auction) be mandated as a last resort?

literally what STG is about

and the law is able to make license conditions illegal/unenforceable (like non-compete clauses in employment contracts)

usually in bankruptcy the game gets sold in order to help pay debts… whoever buys the game assumes the responsibility of contributing to run the online services, or provide options for others to… in the case that nobody buys the game (im not entirely sure what happens to the IP in that case) but it’s relatively minimal effort to release server source code or documentation OR even just remove the online parts that’s usually just for DRM which is now pretty irrelevant because you’re shutting it down anyway so why would anyone care if someone pirates it?!

not to mention whose recent valuations have basically been about selling their data to train models which will be used to make AI slop

A group of conscripted cooks took down a helicopter of landing marines

kinda reminds me of this: https://www.theage.com.au/national/collins-sub-shines-in-us-war-game-20021013-gduomk.html

during war games one of australia’s collins class submarines (diesel electric, quite dated at this point) managed to “kill” a los angeles class nuclear submarine (several times over?) when the US sub was also aided by 2 destroyers

there are public STUN servers: just like DNS, STUN is a fairly critical part of modern infrastructure

peer to peer real time video is a fairly solved problem. the fact that we have google/amazon/zoom/etc in the middle isn’t because it’s necessary

that having been said, STUN servers are also incredibly cheap to run… i wouldn’t consider it exactly off the cards for a company that’s selling products to support a public STUN server indefinitely… it’s not quite as simple as them having to pay tens of thousands /mo in infrastructure costs to keep the lights on: it’s more like $100/mo, which at numbers that small you’d make back in just interest on the sales you made… but i reckon it could go something like “support for 10 years” and then they release an update that lets you set your own STUN server; perhaps defaulting to a public, free one

you can make very cheap to maintain peer to peer solutions

you can use a STUN server to discover your public IP and use a method called UDP hole punching to open a port others can connect to. STUN servers are very cheap to run: they don’t actually handle the data; just provide a kind of handshake service in the middle for coordinating

this is often used for peer to peer video chat etc

it does look good, but pretty different i think

the chunks on a gaytime are crushed biscuit chunks, while these look like nuts?

and the flavours look pretty different

from wikipedia:

It is a toffee and vanilla ice cream dipped in compound chocolate, and wrapped in vanilla biscuit-like “crumbs” on a wooden paddlepop-stick.

Having a unique password per device is best practices.

yup that’s all i’m getting at… this vacuum has unprotected access to ADB, which another user likened to root access, and i just think that in circumstances that are root-like, even physical access shouldn’t grant unprotected root

also depth of blocks: if i’m more than 2 or 3 indents deep, it’s probably got a bit too much logic to it and those comments should be converted to a function name

they’re not going to go after the robot vacuum when the thermostat, tablets, computers, TV, router, access point, etc are right there.

… and all of those things should be equally protected

they’re going to go for the easiest thing to extract information or escalate

since they have root they can add a password themselves!

the most absurd thing is assuming that an end-user is going do add a root password to a serial interface

i’m not saying end users shouldn’t be able to gain root somehow, simply that it shouldn’t be wide open by default… there should be some process, perhaps involving a unique password per device
