They do provide deobfuscation maps these days at least

This pretty much solves the problem of too many bots, but only in a way that works with Cloudflare and does not help the rest of the web. They don't mention any possibility of specifying a different platform to route payments through for instance.

Another interesting protocol that supports LoRa is Reticulum, which uses an announce based system for bandwidth efficiency instead of Meshtastic's flood based routing.

Executing JavaScript on random pages seems like quite a bad idea, spammers could potentially include links to JavaScript which does resource intensive things, like that small and sketchy trend of including Bitcoin miners in websites.

> Game publisher Tencent

Tencent is not a game publisher, while it does have a games division which publishes video games, that is one thing it does, not all of them.

Tencent is a Chinese multinational company that is the largest video games vendor and is also among the largest social media, venture capital, and investment corporations. It also owns the Chinese social media app WeChat.

Star Trek: Discovery is... Something.

In my opinion, it's one of the worst (non canon now) Star Trek shows but it does get marginally better if you can struggle through the first season or two.

I would not recommend it unless you have nothing else to watch

This looks very interesting but Show HNs need to be usable easily without making an account

> Meanwhile, smart TVs made by Hisense and Samsung which were tested by Which? asked for people's postcodes during set-up.

I would guess that they would then sell that information along with the IP address to a company such as Maxmind who make IP location databases

I've been thinking about making a Discord bot like bot on Bluesky recently... Embeds can be messed with, like on discord and posts beginning with "#mention /" ought to be easy enough to detect
