On LAN (no internet, wired), it's quite decent. With e.g. Parsec, it's quite high image quality, low single digit latency, so quite usable.

They specialize in domains management for businesses who consider their domain to be _very_ important. Think Google, Amazon, Microsoft, Wikipedia... (all of those are listed as clients on the wiki page) As in "pay a lot of money",

What are you doing for DB backups? Do you have a replica/standby? Or is it just hourly or something like that? Because with a single-server setup like this, I'd imagine that hardware (e.g. SSD) failure brings down your app, and i

Changing project framerate is apparently quite a hard problem, even DaVinci Resolve when you change it, warns you that you cannot change it for that project again. Probably internally everything in a project is referenced to specific frame

And I would rather have the _choice_ whether to prove my age to Apple or not. I think if it were optional, with the additional option of "share my age with websites & apps", nobody would have an issue with it.

Looks like it's using leaflet + map tiles from https://carto.com/ I think Mapbox also provides a similar looking basemap style.

There's even eSIMs specifically marketed as being a "backup" esim, with coverage on _all_ UK networks. At least on my android, you could set the second esim as a "backup" that it would switch to for data if the main

And that one is actually a direct, no-change trip on a single bus. 5 days of non-stop bus. YouTuber Noel Philips also covered it, if you want to see it in that form.

You can do this all in fly.io, no cloudflare container needed. The whole selling point of fly is lightweight and fast VMs that can be "off" when not needed and start on-request. For this, I would: Set up a "peformance" i

For at least some codebases, I'm not sure this is a useful metric. Because you don't usually put the whole codebase in your context at the same time. For example in my current case, there are lots of files with CSS, SVG icons in s

Another option for anonymous mobile service: https://silent.link/ eSIM, global, variable pricing per country with per-GB billing, anonymous crypto payments and no KYC. Although it seems to not have some of the additional se

This does happen: for example in Macbook repair, it is common to buy defective motherboards, in order to salvage the chips off them (which are apple-specific, hence not purchasable elsewhere). Those boards often come from China, and often h

Openai has a "flex" processing tier, which works like the normal API, but where you accept higher latency and higher error rates, in exchange for 50% off (same as batch pricing). It also supports prompt caching for further savings

With ADSL: broken waterproofing somewhere along the line, water gets into the cables or connections == broken while it's raining. Then you call their customer support, tech comes out, it's not raining anymore and everything works,

£2,589 for an all-inclusive 50-day bus-cruise, even today, doesn't seem that overly expensive. (~£50/day). So it's not just inflation, it's "that used to be cheaper". I guess on the flipside, travelling by plan

It seems to be only on certain devices feature(?): on my Pixel it worked, Samsung phone just says "sorry, can't do that".

Antenna gain isn't everything: I've set up the LTE6 for people, and in some cases I was able to get more speed in the same location with the latest iPhone. In locations where you're at the edge of coverage, and your phone is

An Android port to iPhone hardware does actually exist (for iPhone 7): https://projectsandcastle.org/ Obviously not everything works, but someone did try.

It's also my experience that people who use the Airpods audio in meetings = poor sound, whereas when they switch to the Macbook, it's much better. I think the Macbook does some more advanced beamforming stuff to filter out sound c

Using uBlock to hide the cookie banners mostly works, but there are occasional websites where it's buggy: I have to disable uBlock, accept or reject cookies, then re-enable uBlock. So some websites actually require an accept/rejec

On Android "Redreader" is the only third-party Reddit app that somehow survived the third-party-app-purge. Still free and open source, and much more pleasant than the official one. Would definitely recommend.

One thing to be aware of: nichrome wire heats up. Solder melts with heat. So if you solder them together, and your nichrome wire gets hot enough, they will not stay attached. Hence commercial devices use a mechanical, crimp connection. Prob

On some networks, yes: I used to use a prepay mobile network (= buy a fixed quantity of GBs in advance, use them, once you run out, you get a restricted captive portal where you can buy more, just like on this flight). But all traffic on po

This seems like a cool design! One question though: it seems like the contact between the PCB side panels and the cells relies on flexing the (FR4?) PCB material of the small per-cell "fingers" that are surrounded by cutouts, on t

We built something like this too (in a different field), but it's actually quit hard to deal with all the edge cases that people might want to search for: e.g. if the user asks "Find hotels in Capetown [...] that have availability
