Quite ironically, I've been unable to read the NYTimes article on Cloudflare's anti-bot / AI-scraper stuff because the Datadome bot protection service that NYTimes uses keeps thinking that I am a bot.

Working on a script to scare off a black cat that fights with Wiki (my cat) by playing some dog sounds. Only to find out that our pug (Coco) is detected as a cat by the model. Increased the threshold for now, but this sucks. I know its a black cat, so I might try to add that as a filter.

A CCTV pic showing a faun colored pug standing near a red colored gate. The pug has a green colored bounding box around that is labelled "Cat: 0.76".

A SaaS product I use now wants me to login once a month to click a button. It takes extra effort to make software that wastes your users time. Don’t do this.

From now on, your Free Plan will no longer renew automatically.

But no worries, to keep using your Free Plan, you’ll simply need to renew it manually each month in Admin Panel → Billing with just one quick click—no payment details required.

If you prefer uninterrupted access without manual renewal, you can upgrade anytime to our Professional Plan and enjoy automatic renewals, full features, integrations, and more.
