How do you define failure? I reckon that if people start to make apps for this device, then it’s served its purpose. The next generation, or “lite” version will arrive to an already-populated ecosystem. Meanwhile Apple will have a lot of da

For me it's SimCity4. 3000 has a place in my heart always, but 4 wins out in replayability--even today--because of its dept and the neighboring cities. Making a thriving gigantic region of interconnected cities is forever satisfying.

If you look at the US’s richest (or the world’s for that matter) they’re not usually bankers, which raises a few questions about your hypothesis

Thanks for the suggestion! I'll look into it. I just double-checked and it seems the ping I'm dealing with is just a little bit above their recommended limit

Does anyone have experience with Syncthing in high-latency connection scenarios, for example across continents? I need to bring and keep up to date tens of TBs between a couple of servers very far apart (~200ms ping). Almost everything I&#x

You're right, from an economic standpoint, at least on the surface. But what of the social and ecological benefits of keeping alive small communities and small fields with diverse crops? The problems with large-scale monoculture farmin

Yeah, that one is rock solid. But this shows one of the benefits of the API-based approach: I'm trying to set up auto-trading in this client ( https://tradecommander.dotefekts.net ) while the other one would be more useful fo

I just set up Plex with the Audnexus agent ( https://github.com/seanap/Audiobooks.bundle ), using the Prologue app ( https://prologue.audio/ ) to listen on my phone. It was a little bit of a fiddle to set

Plex through its web interface and apps offers free streaming of some live TV and movies. Free as in beer. For enthusiasts, it can also catalogue and offer a portal for your local media collection. That is also free. The Plex Pass is not fr

I'd never thought to use Plex with audiobooks before but this post and guide got me started. Now I've got all my [Amazon audiobook service] books saved safely for when someone inevitably tries to pull the plug on it. And streaming

I think a key difference is the type of jank we're talking about. In Windows, non-tech-savy users can get by. Most have never ever had to type a command, and it would paralyze them. Love it or hate it, the maddening level of clicks and

This is so strange to me. I would never in a million years go beyond the recommended dosage without consulting a doctor. But I now realize that's just me, and if we can offer safer drugs that won't be as harmful if people exceed t

I think it's a lot more common in the US than elsewhere. Certainly in Europe and Asia paracetamol (acetominaphen) looks to be more common.

4K TV signals invariably suck, absolutely. But depending on people's preferences, they may think the vibrant colors and improved sharpness of even a mediocre 4k HDR stream looks "better" than a higher-bitrate 1080 SDR video.

It has given a head-start on understanding the way certain viruses spread and change, and provided a basis for developing treatments and vaccines. If Sars-COV-2 really spread because of a lab leak, the irony of ironies is that treatments an

And for the record, the National Intelligence Council and four other unidentified agencies say with "low confidence" that the virus came about through natural transmission.

You might be surprised to find how many movies you've watched that do use some film emulation, mainly film grain. Most of the time it's just about imperceptible. I look out for it and notice it when it's there, especially on

I can imagine a sort of "NUC of Thesus" where you can swap the wifi module, ethernet port, mainboard, storage, CPU or RAM as requirements change—all in a pretty simple enclosure that remains standard in size. If you're not pa

Reusable rockets were seriously discussed many decades before SpaceX, they were just considered too expensive. NASA was among the organizations that evaluated them before it ultimately settled on the space shuttle which was quite a bit chea
