It just came to me.. an error in a computer program is called a bug.
A listening device used to spy on people is also called a bug.
A computer bug can be used to spy on people. IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW, PEOPLE! 🤯

(yes, I know the story of why it's actually called a bug. Still, I find that very entertaining.)

My philosophy when writing unit tests: Fake it till you make it!

How come that nowhere on the entire internet it's mentioned whether the AirPods Pro also cancel ambient noise while using the microphone to talk to other people? Am I the only person in the world that would love to have a conversation through the AirPods while being at a noisy place without them complaining about my noisy surroundings? Why is literally no review talking about that (maybe missing) feature? Seems important to me...

In Germany, the official API for querying the validity of a tax ID, has opening hours. It can only be queried from 5 am to 11 pm, and a response may take up to multiple minutes.

This is the most German thing I can think of. My assumption is that there's an employee manually checking the ID and then pressing a button depending on the result, which then triggers the response.

This API is supplied by the Bundeszentralamt für Steuern, which is basically the German version of the IRS: https://evatr.bff-online.de/eVatR/...
