You can also have waterproof with magnetic pin charging like "magsafe" style (doesn't have to be wireless per se) :)

Whoa, amazing! I still have my OG Pebble and its RMA'ed replacement in the shelf behind me! I've always hoped for a smartwatch that comes close to it, but nothing has. This is the most awesome news! <3

It might be better to attach a dummy load to replace the antenna so you don't burn out the radio circuit which may have side effects (depending on their design). You could wrap that in foil to ensure it can't get a weak signal th

Right, especially considering the Subaru Starlink service has apparently existed since 2014 or so[0], I have to wonder how long these vulnerabilities have been present. [0] https://web.archive.org/web/20140719230852&#x2

I was about to say exactly this. This is like REALLY BASIC stuff in designing web services. The fact you can reset the password with a single HTTP POST is mind-boggling, bypassing the 2FA by hiding a <div> is mind-boggling. Like, c

I clicked through dreading that it's got a Raspberry Pi at its core, but no, RK3588 (same as MNT is using now)! Very nice. Ultra kudos for making it truly open source. Great work!! <3

Almost every night I want to learn some stuff I've been trying to study, and I read unrelated stuff online instead. It's REALLY hard to battle this. The double-edged sword of "the world is at your fingertips"... how ca

Yeah for real, my Steam account could just be erased and I instantly lose like $1000 of games I "bought" (by some vague definition of the word). As soon as online-only services started becoming more prevalent, it became quickly a

I play games very little, a few hours a week. I am very social and not lacking in that area -- don't worry about me lol :) I don't engage in "intense gaming", notice how I said I've played since 2009, that's

The exact same thing happened to me with League of Legends. I was inexplicably banned for cheating, despite never having done any such thing (and despite regularly playing on three accounts (this is fully permitted), the other two of which

Yeah I was thinking that too! Plus the "look how we made you look like the hero" aspect. Shady stuff all around.

Word, I imagine there are all kinds of shenanigans at play, I'm just not spending that much effort thinking about it. We'll never know the complete story on any of this stuff. Maybe in tens of years, if ever.

I wonder how much ByteDance got from the incoming administration to pull that stunt. Super shady. "We voluntarily shut down our service in your country (er, I mean, we HAD TO, for real!) but don't worry, a true hero is soon arri

Oh, I missed that! In that case, yt-dlp -x <url> .. or optionally to convert it to mp3 on the fly: yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 <url> .. or doing so with also the best audio quality available: yt-dlp -f &#x27

If the author sees this: with yt-dlp you can download lower quality versions of videos to save bandwidth, like so: yt-dlp -f "bv[height<=720]" <url> (where <url> is your URL or video ID) That will download up

Yup, it's not good enough that you're already a paying customer- they have to try their best to manipulate and coerce you into spending even more. It's insulting, abusive and honestly pathetic. These thirsty lamers have to

Should be pretty easy to reverse-engineer the crease pattern so people can make this themselves (perhaps adjusting it to more common sizes of paper).

A minor nitpick, but it would be great if you put a description of the site in the meta/og description[0] so people get an explanation of what the site is when linking elsewhere, e.g. the same "This page is a free and open-source

Hrm, the UPS C.O.D. Invoice I have here on my phone says it was delivered via air. I don't know what service method was used though as that's not mentioned, but it says "Port of Entry: 1821 - Vancouver Air". /shr

Oh, perfect! I didn't realize there was a choice during checkout. I can imagine the initial price is more, but it will be less in total once the package arrives to the door. My "favorite" thing about UPS is they like to lea

Swap the spinning rust for an SSD and you'll be blown away at the difference. the HDD is absolutely the bottleneck in these machines.

Macs have amazing resale value - IMO never scrap one. People will buy ones that need repair, even. Post on CL or FB marketplace and someone will snag it for sure. Just don't list a machine in disrepair for $400 like some people like

One of my favorite machines for classic Mac gaming is the first iteration of the iMac G4 (700/800mhz) , which allows booting into OS 9. Not only is it an amazing form factor, it's got a great screen and the official speakers are

RE: shipping to Canada: use USPS. Using Fedex or UPS will incur gigantic "brokerage fees" which you are not charged when using USPS + Canada Post. We're talking like $30+ on a $100 package, and that's upon arrival to

Same, I have two of them and the arms are holding up fine. I keep them in the fully-vertical position most of the time, to reduce strain on the arm (though I'm not sure how it works internally).
