Sword swallower maybe? That's a common sideshow thing. Also driving nails through various body parts.

Have you tried tracking the web traffic directly on your phone to know for sure what app is accessing that site?

From other articles, it looks like they get paid to take away waste, but instead of taking it somewhere proper that costs money, they dump it illegally. They may have even purchased the land at auction for this purpose. Also, it seems like agencies have been involved since July and they failed to properly shut it down. Ouch.

I saw one estimate that they made £500k through this scheme and an estimate that it will cost £26m to clean up.

Apparently there is more garbage that is buried at the site, and some sections of the pile are heating up and may spontaneously combust, adding a whole new issue to this mess.

Interesting, I can't seem to find highsignal when I search in Voyager.

Edit: Nevermind, Voyager doesn't do feeds. I didn't realize it was a thing.

Maybe look at Zigbee instead of Bluetooth. It's meant for home automation stuff, but I think it might be easier to set up to perform an action on an input from a button.

Or you can look at Bluetooth remotes but I feel like you'd have to create custom software to take the input and perform an action.

That said, you can use ChatGPT or Claude to help you get started. It's one of the things an LLM is good at. Tell it you're a beginner and what you're trying to do and it can help you through the steps of setting up and writing the basic app. Be warned, the LLM will eventually lose its way and stop making code that makes sense.

You mentioned you were still interested in a button.

How are your programming skills, and what's your current setup? Are you using a PC? Is there a specific reason you want a bluetooth button instead of, say, a USB one? Or even just using a keyboard shortcut?

I saw an ad for it tonight and the "And" completely threw me. I could have sworn it was always "but"...

Linda Royle says airline initially wouldn't compensate because she can't prove ownership of missing items

Excerpt:

When Linda Royle opened up her returned carry-on suitcase, she was disgusted to find not only her personal possessions missing, but several items — like two toiletry bags, a ticket scanner and a knife — were now in her bag.

Air Canada initially refused to compensate the Newfoundland woman, but told CBC News in a statement Thursday that it had looked at her case again and would contact Royle to "finalize her claim."

In an email, which CBC News has reviewed, Royle was told by baggage claims representative Dana Esteban on July 5 that because Royle didn't have receipts for the items she claimed were missing, Esteban couldn't confirm she owned the items.

CBC News asked Air Canada for an interview about Royle's case. An unidentified spokesperson replied to that request, asking for more details.

Two days after the CBC News request, Royle was contacted by a company representative who said her case had been further reviewed.

In a statement to CBC News on Thursday, Air Canada said it requires customers to provide claims, through receipts, for items valued above $350.

"Our baggage claims team re-looked at this case and found that the individual items being claimed were under the threshold," it said.

The spokesperson then told CBC News over email its security team is reviewing Royle's case.

In my feed, when I see posts like https://lemmy.world/post/30432101 that are embedded image links (maybe?), when I click on the thumbnail it doesn't work, but clicking on the title to go to the post, it does.

Thumbnail click gives this and doesn't play:

Title click gives this and plays properly:

This has been happening for a little while now (days? weeks?) but I haven't tried narrowing down specifics. I'll update if I find non-i.imgur.com posts with the same issue.

Edit to add: Android, I think Edge is the embedded browser.
