The big chunky aluminum ones do seem pretty good on the pi 4. I had one in the flirc case for a long time and it never seemed to have issues. Obviously adds to the cost though. Also not sure if the Pi 5 works as well in them given its highe

Unless you specifically need a pi (unlikely) then they really are awful value now. Hard to really go out of the way to support them now they've stuck two fingers up at the solo/indie/educational community and gone all enterpr

Yeah theres very little difference at this point between the A and M lines, think of the M as just being the more powerful line, but that doesnt make the A line weak, not by any stretch. Both are completely binary compatible at this point.

They dont need to use an M series. The chip they are using isn't far off (spec wise) a base M4. It's single threaded performance is damn good.

macOS is in desperate need of another snow leopard. Theres a very good reason they did a zero feature OS cycle that year. It was unsustainable pumping out so many changes year after year. We're in a way worse position now as they rushe

Isn't Simplenote partially (or maybe entirely?) opensource? Would've been nice if they'd linking to the repos if so, and perhaps put out a call for new maintainers rather than just archiving.

All this whole thing did is ensure I never, ever use any google AI service. The fact that they didn't instantly comprehend what a total account ban means when they've got people with 20+ years worth of personal data in those accou

Ah apologies, I didn't realise there was an unwritten rule that replying to posts on a discussion forum wasn't allowed...

Do you not get how awful of an analogy that is? You're implying you cant move forward until that explanation process is done. Last I checked you've got a finger and scroll wheel at your disposal.

Awful take. Other than the broken mess that is One Login the whole gov.uk setup is a breath of fresh air compared to most countries online government services. It's incredibly hard to cater for a wide audience, and they do it pretty da

Having a vibe coded app (openclaw) being in the header promo image was enough to nope me out of even thinking about it. This is vibe coded slop. Why on earth would I give that access to my github account.

RIP to every single camera in existence if that happens. Lidar is awful with damaging camera lenses.

Depends where you live, in most places they don't bother anymore, in the few that they do a VPN obviously gets around it but it's incredibly unlikely you'd be doing enough to ever be on the radar let alone get caught. That ba

I imagine its a case of the providers not wanting to admit its costing them a fortune because suddenly all these low-medium usage accounts are now their highest use ones. Not saying it's right. But it's also not exactly a secret t

Given he's moving to SF to work in their office I presume part of it is he'll be working in-house on their commercial replacement, and will continue to cover costs on the OSS version which he's free to work on. His recent pos

About as bad as a US based server then if we're being realistic. EU based (and not owned by Amazon/MS/Google/etc) seems like the only semi secure hosting option these days.

I imagine something like Reddit might make for better storage than this. It'd be pretty trivial to set up a few accounts with private subs too just store encrypted text based data. Not fast or anything but surely easier to work with.

Funny thing is theres probably some Apple employees reading this right now kidding themselves into thinking this is an end user problem. It's not - your keyboard is bloody awful now, you made it worse.

GTAII was really weird for me, it ran at 0.5x speed. Later realised it wasn't any sort of GPU limitation but was due to some quirk with how it was tied to CPU. I had an off-brand CPU (a Transmeta if I recall) running on an old Mc Donal

Agree on the observability. Every time I've seen that mentioned on the many, many discussions on Xitter theres one of the usual clickbait youtube 'bros' telling you to go watch their video on how to make your own ui for it. R

Sure, but in another time you'd have paid ~$2.99 for the ad-free version one-time, and carried on using it. They intentionally deleted that version of the game, screwing over everyone who did so, then quietly launched the same game aga

Arcade is comically poor value. I can't tell if Apple doesn't care, or they're just so deluded due to their insular nature and crap attitude towards gaming that they genuinely think its a good service to offer mediocre mobile

Nope, Kimi K2.5 is free on opencode at the moment, it was using that.

I asked it to get its self set up and ready to be a helpful marketing assistant for a web based product. I'd intentionally kept it vague and told it to be proactive which was probably what caused it. Lesson learnt!

In that case I'm glad they banned it, had no idea it was going to do something so stupid!
