Horses for courses relly. I think the panels are all standard sizes now as well? When done tastefully, they almost seamlessly blend with the tile (limits tile choices), certainly from a distance. Some new builds near me, you can’t really se

This current crop of tech bros and companies really is the worst for humanity. Failed tech and projects I can understand, but it’s the total, consistent and persistent lack of care and disregard for people, customers & the planet. They

I view this type of post (his, not yours) as meta deception. I only became aware of this type of deception and its power from a bit of reading in to magicians and stage craft in the last few months. There’s a video on YouTube as well that d

Same. I started out early in 2003/2004 with XBMC, and used all sorts over the years - probably Plex for 4/5 years or so in there… the writing was on the wall 4(?) years or so back when the nag emails and data capture all started r

Same & amen. I won’t even buy anything like a Sonos/Homepod, etc. again either. Sonos (the curse, then the blessing, lol) permanently turned me off anything but OSS/DIY IoT stuff. The great thing is, between ESP 32’s, Pi’s, OS

Does nobody else laugh that a company supposedly worth more than almost anything else at the moment, is basically hacking around a load of text files telling their trillion dollar wonder machine it absolutely must stop talking to customers

We had 18x510w panels (9.2kw), 2xZappi chargers, PW3 & Eddi (to heat hotwater) installed ~5 weeks ago. Total cost was £17k (inc. scaffolding, cert, etc), in the SE England, with a small recommended contractor. The UK solar market is ful

Isn't the problem already solved at the browser level? Most (all?) modern browsers support a press/click & hold of the back button to view the back history and quickly jump to any page in that tab's history. *Edit - I lef

A good lesson for all - I always really liked the Picasso version: In a bustling restaurant, an excited patron recognized the famous artist Picasso dining alone. Seizing the moment, the patron approached Picasso with a simple request. With

+1 for Processwire! I’ve mentioned it here a few times over the years and nobody seems to have ever heard of it! I’ve got a few sites well past 10 years now still happily chugging away on it! Basically zero issues with it, ever. It’s still

I really don’t! I switched it all of months ago - autocomplete, autocaps, all of it. I reached a point where the constant frustration had to be worse than any productivity gain it was hoping to offer. A few months on… I like it! Frustration

Totally agree. We only dipped our toe into a small little cheap ev for shorter journeys in January. Looked at getting a charger fitted, then saw great appeal in a Powerwall+Solar… I’m lucky with roof size and direction - we could get 9kw o

It’s absolutely propaganda and a perfect example of how the public gets manipulated on a daily basis. Let’s break down the facts: - Pushes for facial recognition - Pushes for more state run surveillance - Pushes for AI based surveillance -

Adopt this half baked, half broken, insanely expensive, planet destroying, IP infringing tech, you have no choice. Burn everything, because if you don’t, you will get left behind and, maybe, just maybe, in 2 years when it’s good enough, may

Same. Feels like it goes against the entire “hacker” ethos that brought me here in the first place. That sentence made me actually feel physically sick on initial read as well. Everyday now feels like a day where I have exponentially less &

That gaming email took me mentally straight back to Facebook circa 2009, and not in a good way. LinkedIn always serves as a fantastic example of exactly how not to treat your users.

Other than all the scammy & microtransaction BS for the kids I’m always confused about this as well. I can count on one hand how many “new” apps I’ve installed in 2025 - one - the Bambu app for talking to the 3D printer. I’ve got my ban

I can’t speak for the author, but I attended a science conference earlier this year that was almost half science, half healing/meditation workshops. I’m not going to name names, but there were some pretty big academic names there who a

I think we must have passed peak Apple this week or something… I’ve had Clone Hero running badly on an ancient MacBook for my drums, so I decided to swap it out for an M1 Mini that was collecting dust on a shelf. I did a full erase, but I c

Same! I’m firmly starting to believe these studies are being conducted to confuse the public even further with regard to eating. The media have been focussed on eating/public health for a couple of decades now and during that period al

This, this, this and more this!!! Sorry, the below is long, but I haven’t really shared before anywhere and it’s just flowed out of me this morning… I dropped Facebook over 15 years ago, instagram maybe 7 or 8 years ago, Twitter just before

I warned anybody considering it, during the COVID era, that buying a watch as a long-term investment was a terrible idea. Good advice at any time, particularly during COVID though. Buy a watch because you love it and will wear it! It’s take

It’s not just California, just look at almost anywhere. Same story across the UK - taxes and prices ever increase, quality of everything and every service continues to decline. The greed and corruption on display by nearly all politicians i

Back in the VCD/SVCD/DVD/PS1/PS2 days, piracy was absolutely heavily interwoven with organised criminal gangs. I couldn’t comment on the current state, but I’d be surprised if there was enough money in media piracy for o

Worth mentioning that After Effects can export CSS/SVG/canvas animations with the free bodymovin/Lottie plugin. This is my personal go to for creating web key frame animations and elements. Not every after effects feature is

The best changes I’ve made in my life are 1. Completely removing alcohol. 2. Removing highly processed foods and refined sugars. 3. Accepting myself for who I am, faults and all. I can’t change certain things about myself, so I just need to

Ah, so this is the same as the Mister core? I thought it was a different codebase from the Mister core as I couldn’t see any mention of Mister, DE-10 or Nano on the page, so blindly assumed it was developed for a much larger FPGA (making my

Looks like great work! I feel it’s worth mentioning that there is also an N64 core for MisterFPGA now - https://misterfpga.org/viewtopic.php?t=6947
