You can buy attachments in step 2 of the checkout. They mention having cellular as an option on the description: > LTE or 5G Modems > Add mobile data and calling support to your Comet. Bring your own modem and antenna or use our stan

Checking out Plasma Manager was on my to-do list. Finally pushed me over the edge: https://github.com/appsforartists/device-config/blob/master/... I've got Mac-centric keybindings working in Plasma

Same. Looks rad, but I have a Legion Go which I can play any game I want and tinker on. This seems like it would be a worse version of that, but also not a useful phone replacement.

Apparently people play Fortnite on Mac by repackaging the iPhone app. There's no official Mac app, but the Mac/iOS APIs that Unreal Engine needs are similar enough that you just need to change the packaging.

Pair-programming Nix with Gemini has taught me a lot about the assistive power of LLMs. They're still slow and annoying at languages I'm good at. But it's really handy to be able to take one I'm not (like Nix or even C+

I'm a lifelong Mac user, but a gaming handheld has gotten me into some of these topics. I dual-boot SteamOS and Windows. On SteamOS, my 5.1 stereo just works. On Windows, apparently there was some software package called DTS Live (and

To be fair, it has a thousand different settings and you have to manually click Apply to see them in action. It's flexible and popular, but I don't know that I'd call it simple. It still feels 90s in a lot of ways.

ChromeOS has a bigger influence on the market than a random phone model from CES when Android was still establishing itself.

I think that was the video! Was a random YT recommendation, so I didn't know the source off the top of my head.

I saw a teardown of the Virtual Boy recently. Wild tech: The screens are each a bar of micro LEDs. Each eye has a mirror that oscillates every frame to smear the LED bar across your field of view. If you've ever seen those bike wheel

Google guessed this one: https://medium.com/message/everything-is-broken-81e5f33a24e1 With yours as candidate #2. It's too late here now for me to read them both, but I'll try to go back and check when I have

I tried to put on a movie while I was home for the holidays and my brother instantly complained that the drone shot made him motion sick. Was weird to me to hear that a stationary screen could upend someone's vestibular senses. Seeing

There was an article on here 15ish years ago to the effect of "everything's broken all the time. Everyone who writes software knows it, yet we all tolerate it." I'd love to find that sometime. Maybe it's time to a

I wonder what adoption would actually look like. It reminds me of Google Dart, which was originally pitched as an alternate language that enabled web programming in the style Google likes (strong types etc.). There was a loud cry of scope

I spent a dozen years in SF, where my friend circles routinely used Signal. It's my primary messaging app, including to family and childhood friends. I live in NY now. Just today, I got a message from a close friend who also did SF-&

That 90s IBM commercial was pretty rad though.

isn't it whatever fits in a quart-sized ziploc? i presume that's where the other poster estimated "only 3 bottles."

Interesting! That might be the file I was looking for. I see 260 lines (some of which are whitespace). I wonder if that's all of the default keybindings, or if there are more hiding somewhere.

Thanks. I've also seen a derivative called Toshy. They both appear to be surprisingly invasive. I want something like Sublime Text's keybindings, where I can just iterate over all of KDE's system defaults and ask Gemini to

Related but not: I'm a lifelong Mac user who now has a KDE device courtesy of SteamOS. What are the best options for porting Mac default keybindings over to KDE? I'm using SteamOS and Nix/Home Manager, so I have a preference

I remember being a teenager and intentionally dialing down my ambitions, because it was socially uncomfortable to have people's perceptions of me be tied to the things I excelled in. Figured I had my whole life to have a job, so didn&#

It's funny that it's such a blatant knock-off of Google Workspace - the repos even have the same names: https://github.com/suitenumerique/meet I wonder if the emoji will grow into its own set: https:/&#

The DMA is enforced by bureaucracy. The commission proposes that certain platforms are big enough to be regulated, and then there's a comment period/negotiation. The list of platforms currently being regulated is publicly availabl

The people who wrote the policy presumably want both parents to be able to work. It's the main reason to make childcare free.

I was specifically referring to the cap. It's doing the opposite of what the policy is presumably intended to if both parents are capable of earning 6 figures.
