If someone can prove me wrong and show me my mistake in any thought or action, I shall gladly change. I seek the truth, which never harmed anyone: the harm is to persist in one’s own self-deception and ignorance.

  • The typical surprise bill would still be a lot less than your monthly payment for the infinite searches option. You probably aren’t going to unknowingly perform several thousand more searches than you normally do without noticing it.

    Anyway, your other option is to scroll through infinite ads trying to find the few actual search results.

    Pick your poison.


  • You’re not limited to a set amount of searches if you pick a cheaper Kagi plan… the plan is just for how many are pre-paid. You’d have to do six times the pre-paid number of searches on the $5 plan to get billed $25, so there’s no point in paying $25 monthly unless you’re actually doing thousands of searches every month.

    But either way, there is no limit.



  • A lot of companies won’t employ technical writers, who exist to make good, thorough, complete and well-presented documentation… they rather assume their engineers can just write the docs.

    And no, no they can’t… very few engineers study the principles of effective communication. They may understand things, but they can’t explain them.





  • That’s great, right up until Ring unilaterally decides to…

    Which is a completely different topic than the one I quoted. The article said that equipment owners shouldn’t be able to provide their videos to the police without the police first getting a warrant, which is an utterly ridiculous position to take.

    OBVIOUSLY the police should have a warrant to get the video without the equipment owner’s permission, but that’s not what the author said.


  • But it also allows Ring owners to send videos they’ve captured with their Ring video doorbell cameras and outdoor security cameras to law enforcement. (…) If a crime has been committed, law enforcement should obtain a warrant to access civilian video footage.

    This is utter nonsense… Anyone is free to voluntarily provide their own pictures and video to the police. A warrant is so that police can come and take it from you against your will.
