   Someone set fire to a pylon and took the factory (and the important bit: local residents) out for a week or so. Apparently the motivation was protesting against deforestation and using groundwater in an area with drought problems already.

   Luxury vehicles with limited market, Hertz dumping them due to ROI problems, asshole running PR, new product is a $70k MAGA hat / rusty coffin, geopolitical mess going on. Inevitable really. I know a couple of "faithful" inve

   Not yet. It’s mostly full of insults directed at myself so would need cleaning up first :)

   Add why to a checklist each time you fuck up. Then validate the fuck ups aren’t happening next time. I usually get boards right first time now. But it took me 2 years to get there.

   Meh. I think it's about the right price for the quality. However I can't think of any actual applications for it that would have a return on investment which means it's not worth spending that money. Literally everything it d

    I will have a go at this later. Thanks for the heads up.

    I think the point is more what’s the point of NordVPN?

    I put AdGuard on it. It’s mostly in video sponsorships (fuck you NordVPN) and I don’t think there’s an equivalent to sponsorblock for safari.

    My father has completely destroyed two M1 iMac installs so far. YMMV. He watches YT videos all day and is paranoid about everything. End game was he managed to install two different VPN packages on one install and managed to install a syste

    No tight coupling is a strong immutable dependency. That doesn't necessarily mean complexity. It could mean a leaky abstraction around a simple API, like half of POSIX etc. What does screw you is things that are hard to reason about an

    I don't think it's loose coupling but more: don't build shitty overcomplicated interfaces for simple things. What it doesn't go into is the fact you don't know if it's a shitty overcomplicated interface or not

    I just bought an iPhone 15 Pro this afternoon and my wallet is rolling around in agony so I sympathise. Similar experiences across the board. I did a very special once in a lifetime trip and it sort of ruined the memories a little. I think

    The iPhone tends to have a weird appraisal of white balance I have found so that might be the issue. If you shoot ProRaw (need a Pro suffixed device) you get a better copy of what hit the sensor than HEIC/JPEG. But yeah DSLR/mirro

    Mine was so bad I bought a Nikon mirrorless. That was the Google default app though rather than anything open source backed.

    I had a Pixel 6A and 7A in the last couple of years, mostly as an experiment. The computational photography side of it was a complete mess, mutilating many photos from crazy levels of over-sharpening through to turning things into weird oil

    As someone who tried it on a couple of things, no one I know has heard of it. So I suspect it’s marketing and hype that is missing.

    I’ve used iCloud for 10 years. No problems. Just remember it’s not a backup it’s a convenience.
