Music memories are the best. I booted up my old PS3 from my uni days (20 years ago?) and found all of the music I had on it because I used it for everything at the time. Some seriously nostalgic music I'd completely forgotten about.

I wonder if something like this could work for thumbnails in the terminal; I prefer to browse my filesystem from a terminal rather than the point and click file manager typically, and it would be really useful if I could have a grid-style `

I was looking at that RAC chart this morning. Given it's Sunday, and I was reading before my morning coffee, I'm not ashamed to say it took me a good few seconds of zooming in and out to realise they'd used a decimal point wh

Ouch, were you not willing to RMA for that ethernet port? I wouldn't be too pleased after only a week if parts of the board stopped working. I don't really want to run my RAM that slow which is why I'll probably stick with tw

In January I upgraded my desktop, 9950X3D £600, 64GB DDR5-6000 £600, MSI MAG Tomahawk X870E £300, Samsung 990 Pro 4TB £350, Asus Prime 9070XT £580. I spent a another £250 on PSU and cooler and reused my case (Phanteks Evolv Enthoo TG, beaut

I think I remember reading something about that at the time, the accelerometer thing, maybe it was in the manual. Sounds quality was great and I loved the dock too.

Nice! I loved that phone, was one of my favourites. One of the only, if not the only phone I ever owned that had a metal shell that I an recall. I had most of the N range, and was particularly interested in music ones, N95 was love/hat

Interesting. I get the likeness thing, but surely one could publish jokes about anyone they wish and that would be satire or fair use or something? Facts and copyright is an interesting one, because I'm surprised a fact can be copyrigh

I'm pretty sure they were all the rage when _I_ was at school, but that was long before the iPhone. I'm curious on what grounds they blocked the app.

I remember my Nokia N91 which had a 4GB version of one of these tiny HDDs, blew my mind at the time. Man do I miss the N-series, I had so many good phones in that era.

Do you know which HA integration I would use if I want to try out Qwen 3 ASR in HA? Some screenshots in the OP reference Qwen 3 ASR for STT but I can't seem to find any reference to which integration I'd use.

I'm in the same boat as OP. The question I'd ask myself is; who would _I_ trust to implement privacy preserving verification? The only answer I can come up with right now is; myself. I would trust myself.

Yeah, I went through it 3 times in the first decade of my career, two of them were just like yours, I was told "look, this has to go like this, so you're gonna have to go through the stuff, but don't worry, we're promoti

I'm almost certain this was to win some sort of grant, award, subsidy, exemption, green credentials....something, and then once they had it, immediately forgotten. I've seen this happen plenty where companies start campaigns for r

I think you've pretty much summed it up. As far as I'm aware, it has less functionality than the OEM, so you use it to _remove_ features (good and/or bad). Aside from that, I suppose it means you can run a more up to date fir

As far as I can tell, this is the only reason, you'll likely lose a bunch of functionality (that's been my experience); so "principle" is the only reason I'm aware of (or minimalism, but that's a principle too

What's the use case for Zai/GLM? I'm currently on Claude Pro, and the Zai looks about 50% more expensive after the first 3 months and according to their chart GLM 4.7 is not quite as capable as Opus 4.5? I'm looking to s

Yes. The phone number is just for activation, once activated, you can swap the SIM and carry on. Or have the SIM that receives the activation text in another phone, or be virtual, or whatever.
