Tbh they didn’t even open it up. Just decided it was too hard and gave it back. I had to follow a YouTube tutorial to work out how to open it since stuff is designed to hide all visible entry points these days. Had I handed it to them disas

The skill gap between line stander and SMD soldering is fairly large

Privacy is the main benefit of running it yourself. Sending all of your personal info to random providers on openrouter would worry me. I don't mind it for code but if it's connected to my calendar and personal data, I want it run

I can see why Anthropic is freaking out right now. China has undermined their whole business. AI models will be basic commodities where hosting providers earn a tiny margin over the raw costs rather than the predicted fortunes from being th

At least in Australia, anything outside common phone repairs goes in to the "not worth it" basket. I had a USB-C port snap of a microphone, PCB pads were still fine, just needs someone to use a hot air gun to attach a new port. Re

I will take 5000 "diary entry" blog posts over LLM generated walls of text that say nothing. People need to learn to just post the prompt rather than the LLM output which just fluffs the prompt.

Personally I've found Deepseek v4 Flash to be as useful to me as Opus. But I don't do these silly one shot tech demos. I have the technical understanding to ask for exactly the change I want with the right terminology. I loaded up

It's fine as a kind of replacement for forums, but I don't like it at all for chat and community. I find Discord admins always tend to create 5 trillion channels which each get about one message per week. And then whine when you h

It's projection. These tech CEOs know what they are doing and it scares them that someone else might do the same.

I think there is some logic in delaying the rollout, giving it to the heads of the largest software products first to fix their code before dumping it on the general public. But yes eventually everyone will have this tech and it won't

Same way they have banned DJI products like camera microphones, technically it's not banned, it just needs to be approved because it has a wireless transmitter, and for some strange reason the US is the only country that hasn't ap

The user agent string is harmful in general. Any new browser should just copy the chrome user agent.

There is no legal requirement to ask for consent for first party functional cookies. The cookie banner is only for invasive 3rd party trackers.

Usually when you hit reject it opens some insane modal with 5 million checkboxes. While accept always makes it go away fastest.

I've been hit with the team manager trying to clear tickets on the jira board with entirely AI generated code, and what I've observed is they always make the system more complex, usually absurdly complex. The AI code never looks a

I have seen them write massively more complex bash scripts than any normal person would ever attempt, but the failure rate is absurdly high compared to when they write sane typed languages.

No one is reading this thinking it’s going to replace industrial farming. It’s just fun

Tbh I think Minecraft players enjoy creating item farms. It’s just part of the game progression at this point. Meanwhile some non bugged workflows like breaking and replacing the lectern a million times to get the right trade exist because

TNT duping is a good example. It’s basically impossible to accidentally run in to this glitch, but the community has built tons of mechanisms around using it and generally like it. Patching it out would be more “correct” but serve to only l

Most software doesn’t matter and nothing happens if it’s slightly broken temporarily. The stuff that actually is critical is generally very stable.

Devs and power users create something like libreoffice or thunderbird. They are incredibly resistant to any change for any reason and hang on to what they already know rather than what’s best. The reality is most people actually like the st

So many Linux user problems are self inflicted. It’s almost a demonstration why proprietary platforms limit your options so much when users choose to shove a stick in their bike spokes and complain it let them do that.

This goes for most games where glitches end up becoming protected features. Being fun is more important than being correct.

MacOS 26 was clearly rushed. iOS 27 seems to be an absolutely massive refinement update. Basically everything is faster and more polished. But on the title, yes software is not even close to “solved”.

I shut my iPad down when I’m not using it because the passive drain is absurd. I don’t need my iPad to do literally anything when it’s screen off. I have a phone for notifications.

At least in my experience it’s usually for bad, and having to conform to standard software probably improves their process. Of course you have to pick one for the country and laws.

The LG scandal specifically relies on the fact windows will auto install OEM crapware as soon as you plug it in. No other OS does that.

Vs code copilot lets you bring your own api key for services like open router. But it usually only makes sense to do this with the Chinese models because OpenAI/Google/Anthropic heavily punish you for not using their proprietary l
