I feel like the article ignores the elephant in the room — production costs. Producing PCBs (say, 5 or 10 units) is pretty expensive, and components are also costly on such a small scale. Combining these two requires additional money or tim

Fully agree, that's just straight up fraud and it's covered by chargebacks.

In terms of apps, I fully believe it will only get worse from here: Google’s trajectory has been pretty hostile, and third‑party developers tend to follow it. That’s why I have two phones. One runs GrapheneOS and is my daily driver; the oth

And how many options are there exactly? How many of them are capable of at least making and receiving a phone call without any issues 99% of the time? While I agree with your general sentiment, I feel necessary to acknowledge that it's

A vibecoded petition with no clear expected outcomes and no actionable items whatsoever. Is it just a honeypot to get names and emails? Why would people sign something like that?

Local models are looking better and better each day. Still, not as capable, but you can be sure that nobody will take it away from you at a moment's notice.

IMO if numbers on Socket.dev can be trusted, then impact seems rather small (luckily). It also makes sense — I know some packages from the affected list, they're heavily outdated and their upstreams aren't maintained anymore. Othe

Orphaned packages, so other people are able to file requests and take over them. That's how AUR works — it's community-driven [0]. [0]: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Arch_User_Repository

I'm so glad that the LLM hysteria at $WORK is barely scratching the surface. These Twitter-brained CEOs are living in a completely different reality, so I am really happy I don't have to experience it firsthand.

[citation needed] IDEs made by JetBrains are huge . At this point, they're basically the standard option for several JVM languages.

You don't need to belittle someone else's work. It's a series of articles, and author has 2 more articles that aren't related to articles Ciechanowski wrote at all.

It's not? The only 2 options available there are last gen Strix Point (AI 300 series).

This doesn't sound quite right, I think they put a wrong price there. Bottom cover alone goes for more than that, even without battery or speakers: https://frame.work/sg/en/products/laptop13pro-bottom-cov

I was also surprised by this sentence. It sounds like this is the author's first attempt at running models locally. Or maybe the author has been running heavily quantized small models all that time — Gemma 4 gguf he's using is Q4

I am so glad DuckDuckGo allows blocking specific sites from the search. Just did this for a domain linked in this repository.

Well, lossless over Bluetooth is a mess currently. Only 1 codec is capable of that — aptX Lossless. Then, your transmitting device, phone / laptop / etc., needs to be compatible with it, and that's often not the case. Samsung

Discord isn't under pressure to implement these measures globally . I fully agree that they shouldn't be blamed for kick-starting age verification, because governments are pushing for this all around the world. But it's simp

I wouldn't call it a response, but rather another thing that normalises ID verification online. Now all these governments can use Discord as a reference that (1) this is possible at scale and (2) companies are willing to do this.

> Author: A paying Max 20x customer who's done subsidizing Anthropic's infrastructure problems Shouldn't that be the other way around? Isn't every LLM provider losing money? Especially on premium subscriptions.
