I appreciate the post if counts for anything. Cooking hacks to save time or elevate a dish to the next level or even allow me to make something without the proper equipment are always good to add to the toolbox. The coffee I am drinking rig

I agree with you but I think it's worth pointing out that this is a new occurrence. It's not just the performance of software but the UI and features themselves. The constant UI redesigns leave legacy users disoriented. It seems l

It's not just imagination the relevance is also tied to focus and attention. I have multiple friends who claim that the reason they don't read is because are "visual learners" . The real truth is they have a 30 second at

After playing around with old spec hardware I would say before OP gives up try installing Alpine Linux. Run Alpine Linux from RAM. That will consume about 125MB with the standard install. Set up persistence so you save changes. Install a li

When people say inflation they normally mean CPI which is a poor indicator for inflation and considering it so ignores the time value of money. Sellers should be forced to label DRM rentals with specific time frames and penalties for violat

I think algorithmic music discovery is overrated. Back in the day I used to use Audioscrobler which was an audio plugin for Winamp which was basically a recommender system for music. I discovered some interesting music through that but nowh

My Android Phone will connect to my dock and all connected hardware functions as expected but it doesn't charge the phone. After the first disconnect subsequent connections to the phone will just charge the phone but the phone does not

I think I'm in this boat. I'm just choosing to interact with technology less. Everything has just gotten more hostile that it has reached a tipping point.

I have multiple home servers running ZFS and the first thing to check when encountering errors is the SATA cables. Those blue foil fan-out types are the worst from my experience.

What do you use for external parity? Par2? If you were to replace your current drive with a new larger one and your RAM or your SATA controller silently corrupted the files how would things play out? Would these corrupted files propegate to

It's more the single drive storage layout that is an issue in your case. No resilience to a single disk failing and you are risking all your data if your hardware starts silently corrupting data. This is assuming all your backups are

I wish there was more love for more vanilla forms of Android. I would trade more simplicity out of the box and regular software updates over the current situation. Personally I'm blown away by Motorola options in the budget range. For

It's Android stop expecting it to make sense. You have to learn some intricacy of some tool so you can forget it and have to learn it again three months later. iOS is no better. Sure everything is intuitive but it's going to get a

Alpine Linux Combined with OXWM isn't a bad idea. If your install is small and you have enough ram it's possible to run it from RAM with persistence.

Is this a valid point when we live in an evolving world. Language changes, facts change etc. Or can everything can just be grabbed from webpages and stored in the context window?

If I remember correctly iPhone apps used to use the devices SSL certificates so you as a user could install your own and man-in-the-middle the traffic to see what was being sent. AFAIK now the apps use certificate pinning.

This looks interesting. I just set up an Alpine Diskless system that boots from a USB stick. I originally tried to set up a NixOS diskless system with persistence for the same reason as the author but the LLM jerked me around and I had litt

Yeah I don’t know if I come to the same conclusion as you. There is no probabilistic way to determine if the singularity will be a positive or negative for humanity. Climate change is a net negative for humanity. Regardless it’s clear what

Because it's more fun? Being serious this is a silly line of reasoning. Maybe they are both bad? It's like asking why is it bad to light a forest fire when there is a forest fire already burning. I take issue with the cognitive di

I think it's a rebuttal against claims that LLMs are incompatible with large code bases. It's not so much a flex about the quality of the code, it's more a flex about the complexity of the code and the LLMs ability to deal wi

Wait until you hear about tab+shift. It would be great if they built Vim style shortcuts into the spec and browser like you suggested but in the time being we have the Vimium extensions for other browsers. Personally I am not a fan of exten

These products already do what basically everyone wants them to do. The problem is now people are conditioned to having their privacy violated so they are still the product and they will pay to be the product. The network effects with a pro

Did Microsoft ever explain why Bitlocker could be deliberately circumvented? Part of me thinks they are welcoming this drama because if the other 0-days are genuine bugs then it muddies the water and shifts the focus away from a the fact th

The cognitive dissonance around this is astounding. First of all define productive. Would someone using AI to build software at a startup which is likely to fail be considered productive? What if there is already similar software available
