I'm extremely skeptical of any company that does as much advertising as PCBWay, but they seem to legitimately do a good job. From what I can tell, it seems every single order is reviewed by a human who sends you an email if something

I'll have to try OpenBoard. Right now I'm using ASK and I really want to like it, but it's just slightly too janky and rigid. The customizability is nowhere near good enough. There's too many behaviors that seem hardcode

I'm actually rather surprised that we're still using qwerty layouts on touchscreen devices. Of all the possible ways to input text with your thumbs, this is undoubtedly one of the worst. I'm sure plenty of people have tried

I've seen a ton of press from Mozilla recently and none of it has been about Firefox. It's all been shitty virtue signaling like this. I don't give a shit about Mozilla's lofty ideals when they aren't actually do

It can but that doesn't mean it's a great idea. Unless your chip has a hardware floating point unit, you're stuck using software float operations. They're slower, though not extraordinarily so. But the main drawback is

The sperm cell is absorbed into the egg. The genetic material is taken into the nucleus and the rest of the cell is broken down and absorbed. The egg then turns into a more normal type of cell and starts dividing. I suppose it's possib

Unity recently forced us to upgrade to their Industrial tier. We had to cut back on the number of licenses we use because our costs went up at least 10x. Fortunately the rest of their pricing changes don't affect us, but it's stil

That doesn't really add up. The core problem of GPL is that it's viral and takes away freedom from downstream developers in favor of upstream freedom.

They're way, way too cheap and low-spec to even consider as a daily driver. I'd love to pay like $500 for a pinephone with hardware from 3-4 years ago.

I have some compression underwear by DEVOPS brand. It's very mildly amusing every time I see them in the laundry. Also the worst compression shorts I've ever seen but I guess you kind of have to expect that

Copyleft was a good idea, but its real world utility is a lot less than anyone would like. I once inherited a GPL project, but I couldn't muster any community interest in working with it. Plugin authors would have been compelled to use

I think it depends on the use. The kind of AI you're suggesting wouldn't need to ingest the entirety of every book and movie you've seen, it would just need to store a summary and a location for the original file. It's l

Kagi is as good as google used to be. It doesn't have that same 'wow' effect because we've all experienced what good search is. It feels like turning on your ad blocker. It's what web search was supposed to be all

I'm kind of shocked to see a company in this day and age making their service more affordable as it becomes more popular. I'm very happy with this service. Worth every cent and then some.

Microsoft is the complication. Windows won't respect your default browser choice and will forcibly open Edge in some situations. It will also take any opportunity to nag you into changing your default browser to Edge.

'We' is the subsection of the fediverse that federates with the server I'm on. It's a sentiment that I see everywhere on mastodon, not from any particular instances. The fringe-er instances are more likely to block by de

Mastodon.social is one of the riskier places to be if you're concerned about defederation. There's a very large segment of the mastodon population that thinks servers ad big as .social are very bad for the ecosystem. A lot of

Sorry, what does it even mean for a random number generator to have a backdoor? Is it leaking your generated keys to the NSA? Does it have some arbitrary code execution vulnerability?

You use a lot less than you think. I pay $10/mo for 1000 searches and I typically use about 300-400 Besides that, it's worth it to me to get the results I'm after instead of SEO spam. Plus Boolean and literal operators that a

Note 10+. It was their flagship model 3 or 4 years ago. I can't decide what phone to replace it with. I love the idea of the pinephone but it's way too cheap. The other open source options are way too expensive. The best option se

I started playing with a LLAMA variant recently and it loves to explain "as a LLM created by OpenAI, I can't do that, but here's some text anyway...." I find it really amusing

It really hurts my head to even think about how that works. Does google offer some proprietary email api that isn't IMAP? Why would such a thing exist? Why would you make an email app without IMAP?

My Samsung phone has forced updates even worse than this. It will download an update silently in the background and will nag me with a new notification every couple of hours. It will let me delay the update for a random length of time befor

Everyone in this thread needs to take a long, hard look at their life. Especially the men trying to ascribe some sort of motivation to all women on the goddamn planet.

by distract8901 3y ago
Framing it this way implies that men are owed attention from women and a lack thereof is punishment. When in reality women are people and nearly 100% of all people ever wish to not be harassed by a stranger that feels entitled to their ti

Huh, maybe I'm weird, but I use the same 'voice' in all forms of communication. With the exception of the shorthand I share with my husband, I always text in full, properly formatted sentences and paragraphs. I use the same s
