Privacy.com rolled out virtual cards for AI Agent with MCP, CLI, and API access.

You can now have your agents create virtual credit cards to spend online.

This reminds me of:

>The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn't. By subtracting where it is from where it isn't, or where it isn't from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation

This is similar to NYC dating scene. People are not willing to commit in case something better comes along. If you can drag your decision for 4 months, another better candidate may come through the door.

That may be true in ZIRP era. Now a days, there's no budget for empire building. The bigger your team the more that you are accountable for delivering and the higher the expectations.

Reminds me of iPhone 1.

Everything you've said is reminiscent of the reviews of the first iPhone.

I do like my tech device ecosystems working seamlessly.

What's nice about each of the Apple, Google, and Amazon ecosystems is that the devices all work seamlessly within the ecosystem. This is much harder to do across companies.

Take for example, Beats headphones integrate seamlessly with the iPhone, MacBook Pro, and AppleTV.

Or Nest integrating with Google Home

Or Ring integrating with Amazon Echo.

There are tradeoffs to be made that benefit the consumer.

That is incorrectly reported.

Note: that was inaccurately reported in the TomsHardware article

The fact that it shows up as using iMessage is the part that I said may be inaccurately reported.

Even now, I am still seeing some suspicious data usage. I’ve started wiresharking it yesterday to track it down.

For those interested, you can setup tcpdump on Asus router pretty easily to monitor traffic going through the router. You don't even need to mess with the firmware on the router.

1. Install Entware https://github.com/Entware/Entware/wiki/Install-on-Asus-stoc...

2. Then install tcpdump: `opkg install tcpdump`

From there, you can monitor any traffic going through your router.

I kid you not, LG Washer's have DLCs (Downloadable Laundry Cycles). It adds no value.

I had basically hooked up the washer to wifi when we first got it and forgot about it. The thing is, the washer doesn't let you disconnect the wifi after it's configured. It only allows you to switch to a different wifi and only if that wifi has internet.

Right now it looks like it has stopped uploading data.

Looking at my router log, the only web history request is:

2024-1-08 19:44:10 LG_Smart_Laundry2_open aic-common.lgthinq.com

This was likely after I had removed it from my main wifi and reconnected it to a segregated wifi. I don't see any logs for prior to this point.

I am the owner of this rogue washing machine.

If anyone has any ideas on how to investigate this, I'm open to ideas. As of now, I've just blocked the internet access.
