> sustains Batteries' development What future development needs to be sustained? I developed a similarly-sized app back in the days of Snow Leopard and I’ve not really needed to do much maintenance to keep it going. An hour at most

Donations should also result in no expectations. It’s a donation , not a support license.

That game was full of really neat Easter eggs that were a lot of fun to find as a kid. If you “buckle up”d before driving and got into a crash it would cost less money to fix. You could exit your truck, lock the door, and throw away the key

The hardware is already there. You don’t need to move much to counteract the movement of the stars. Many cameras have in body stabilization, which can move the sensor around. Pentax had had this for a while (as early as 2011). https:/

And here I was thinking PHP is definitely “the old fashioned way”. There are tons of static site generators[0], and it’s fairly trivial to have a complex web app not require a hosted server since you can use local storage, web workers, Fi

Do you want to use forward slashes confusable as a multitude of other things, one of which is a path separator? At least you can have a file named data-2021-11-13.csv.

I second this. I have the same setup (XM4 with V-Moda Boom Pro). It’s fantastically comfortable, battery life lasts forever (and when I don’t need ANC I still use them as wired headphones), and everyone on my meetings comments on how clear

Sonos speakers are weird and I don’t get the hype. They’re not Bluetooth, so playing anything on them has to go through the Sonos app and server. Sonos is also a shady company, doing things like bricking your device if you try to sell it af

It’s not about “risking burning out the employees”. Small companies simply don’t have a chain of command and employees are taking on so many mission-critical things at once that employers need them to be constantly available. I worked at a

The Air Force actually sponsored a CTF at Defcon (a hacker conference in Las Vegas) where the goal was to hack a live satellite: https://www.wired.com/story/air-force-defcon-satellite-hacki...

I understand the author poses this as a rhetorical question, but obviously the answer is more complicated than “just use 100% helium”. It’s much more likely that someone has already done the cost and risk analysis and determined that 8.5%

That is correct. Vegetable isn’t really a botanical word since you typically refer to the specific parts of the plant (eg root, bulb, leaves, flower, fruit, etc). Vegetable is just a catch-all to cover “parts of the plant we eat”. Fruits ha

Pretty mediocre article. Replace “sex toy” with any other IoT device and you get the same thing. Don’t want your sex toys connecting to the internet? Don’t buy the one with a wifi connection. But really, the end of the article says this bes

Anecdotal, but a Keto diet has completely flatlined my BG — in a very good way. I’m talking about being in the range of 4.8 to 5.8 for weeks on end. My endocrinologist thinks I’m a wizard and has never seen anyone with 100% in range. I also

Test strips are $1 x 5 times per day x 30M diabetic Americans. How can this even compete? You can’t sell RF “per-use”.

As someone with a 500mb data plan and $1/mb overage, this scares me. A month of data gone before I can stop the download. I hate living in a country with third-world phone plans (hint: it’s north of the USA).

Don’t forget you’re on a tech-enthusiast forum. Your “old phone” is most likely less than three years old. My mother will be thrilled with the new camera, coming from her iPhone 6.

They briefly mentioned “choose focus after the shot”, so I imagine there will be pretty good UX for editing on-device.

I think the idea that they’ve been pushing for years is that you don’t need a camera anymore. You can do all this “pro” stuff on their phone. It’s a good strategy too. Suppose they had an ILC camera . That reads “Apple isn’t confident tha

Here’s another data point since it’s not always as simple as “remastering”. Nintendo released Super Mario 3D All Stars for a limited purchase window between Sept 2020 and March 2021. Super Mario 64 was included in its original 1996 glory, i

I would be worried if there was a way to query the webcam LED. Ideally you want it controlled by the hardware: if power is going to the camera, power the light. If it’s accessible via software, there’s the possibility that it can be control

Maybe he made $900 previously from ETH? I don’t know. 12 is a bit young but I remember having a job at 14 and “limitless money” because I didn’t have any responsibilities. I could have easily justified $900 as “only two pay checks”.

Heh, sure, if you have $10k+ per user. (Maybe genomics isn’t as bad as proteomics)
