|I'd like a page where I can share information about internet radios "openness." Few allow you to enter a radio station's URL (which I would consider the least intrusive option). Most depend on third-party websites or apps; [https://www.sangean.com/uk/blog/149 some of which have already bricked devices].

|Google TLS Changes

|Google's new requirements to certificate authorities require separate authority/signing chains to be used to issue Server Authentication and Client Authentication certificates. Therefore, starting 11 February 2026, Let's Encrypt will no longer include the Client Authentication EKU on default certificates

|Juicero

|Silicon Valley startup that received more than $100 million in funding from investors such as Google and Campbell's Soup. Produced a juicer which was sold for $700 (later $400). Device required a Wi-Fi connection and mobile app in order to use and only accepted "produce packs" sold exclusively by Juicero. Said produce packs had short shelf lives, required the machine to scan a QR code to process, and could be remotely disabled (for instance, if a component item was recalled). Packs were capable of being squeezed by hand (yielding slightly more juice in less time) as demonstrated in an infamous Bloomberg video, which led to the company offering refunds for its juicer. Suspended all operations and (again) offered refunds on September 1st, 2017.
