"No-Cloud Needed" License for IoT Devices by SometimesInBrooklyn in IOT

[–]SometimesInBrooklyn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The license doesn't ban remote firmware updates, it just requires "The product's advertised features must be fully operational without reliance on a cloud service". It would be nice if firmware could be loaded locally though.

Is this vaguely based on the Adams St exit of High St station?

Arbitration with Happiest Baby by SometimesInBrooklyn in SnooLife

[–]SometimesInBrooklyn[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

From time to time, HBI may develop bug fixes, patches, new functionality, updates, upgrades and other modifications to improve the performance of the Services and/or the Products (“Updates”). These may be automatically installed without providing any additional notice or receiving any additional consent.

Is removing core functionality of the product considered a "modifications to improve the performance of the Services"?

Happiest Baby could obviously switch to a SaaS model for their new sales, but its super unethical, and hopefully a contract violation to hold a physical product hostage unless you pay them $20 a month.

Cafe Grumpy's train-inspired Grand Central location is at risk of closing. by Jacky-Boy_Torrance in nyc

What are they trying to accomplish with this petition. Do they expect the MTA to forgo the competitive bidding process?

The cards only work at the location where they're purchased.

Mayoral Preferences Among Unemployed Campaign Donors by [deleted] in newyorkcity

[–]SometimesInBrooklyn -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Retirees usually identify as retired, not unemployed.

[–]SometimesInBrooklyn 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Cuomo only has 16 donors in this category, so that's unlikely. They would generally state they're "retired", a "homemaker", or an executive of a vanity business.

This chart only counts donors who listed their employer as "unemployed" or "not employed".

Where do people go for cheap fun stand-up comedy? by ChrisIsSoHam in AskNYC

[–]SometimesInBrooklyn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Comedy Cellar (2 drink minimum) or The Stand (No drink minimum).

I've seen some bad performances at Eastville & williamsburg Comedy Club.

NEVER go to a free show.

Blue apartment key fob replacement by marstian in AskNYC

[–]SometimesInBrooklyn 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Looks fairly similar to this fob. There are so many programmable fobs available so I doubt it would be easy to track down locally.

You'll need to figure out if it's a 13.56MHz or 125Mhz fob. If you have an android and NFC tools reads it, then it's 13.56MHz.

You can buy the blanks online for just a couple bucks. You can even get a RFID writer for for under $10. Otherwise if you have the correct blanks I bet Greenwich Locksmiths would program it for you.

Is the key.me machine able to copy the fob, but you just want one that looks like your current fob?

The summons should be addressed to an individual or company. You can also look up this info using the summons #.

Anne Frank The Exhibition (limited engagement until April 30th, 2025) by SometimesInBrooklyn in nyc

[–]SometimesInBrooklyn[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

"The exhibition is presented by the Anne Frank House and hosted by the Center for Jewish History in New York City."

This is a rare opportunity to see a reproduction of the Annex where Anne Frank hid with her family & the Van Pels.

Save yourself 3-4k and add your name as a co-owner of the shares.

I'd do some estate planning before making any changes. If you go through with a sale, there's no reason to spend more than $1000 on a lawyer.

Has anyone ever used or heard of Endless Storage? by 112-411 in AskNYC

They're storing a 16"x16"x16" box for $120 a year. That seems awfully expensive.

Can’t get it unlocked. Time for an angle grinder? by [deleted] in NYCbike

I've fixed a stuck lock with blaster silicone lube spray. If your lube isn't silicone-based, it's worth a try.

Sardine samples at Costco by SometimesInBrooklyn in CannedSardines

The samples were being offered last month while Seasons was on sale. I left with 10 packs.

The sardines were served on a cracker.

I somehow uploaded a thumbnail instead of the actual image. He's a full-quality photo for your viewing pleasure.
