Yup - and worse than that too. In the last week or two it's been rumoured that Oppo are pulling the plug on OnePlus, and are going to wind up the brand entirely. (Although it may cling on in certain markets, like India).

Nice to hear it's not dead, as the website and github repos do give that impression. I'll have to give it a spin.

From one of the photos, the cable spec "G657A2" is visible on the outside - and specs listed for that indicate it's "bending insensitive single-mode fibre", apparently it can tolerate 10 loops around 15mm mandrel. (

Basic version is it's a sort of developer focused zero trust network service. Encrypted overlay network based on wireguard tunnels, with network ACLs based around identity, and with lots of nice quality-of-life features, like DNS that

Possibly one of the better known (and widely used?) implementations is Microsoft's PhotoDNA, that may be a suitable starting point.

You're right, I'm probably being a little uncharitable! Normal users (i.e. not grumpy techies ;) ) probably just go with the flow rather than finding it irritating.

"AI Overviews now have 2 billion users every month." "Users"? Or people that get presented with it and ignore it?

I knew a charity group many years ago that targeted this issue. They noticed that aid charities would give modern motorcycles to rural medical workers that rapidly ended up in a non-working state. So they gathered older motorbikes, more sui

It was quite interesting in the UK when the smoking ban kicked in for public places, and how many pubs needed this sort of treatment once people stopped actively smoking in the premises, as without the active smoke to mask it people noticed

I do wonder if this is in any way linked to the ongoing enshittification of imgur, and the recent associated user revolt (link: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45102905 ).

Probably the one thing I find most frustrating about these current unicode emojis is that they have been extended/evolved so far now that they fail to fulfil their original purpose. Original purpose: simple/clear way to convey an

Hmm... As far as power cables go, I think I only ever bought one proper PSU for a Pi, the rest were all powered from various bits of discarded PSU here and there, and in one case via a 5-way usb power thing. (Heck - I think only 2 of the la

I have to admit, my experience with #1 was quite different. 1. Put pixel on a flat surface. 2. Half an hour later, discover that the the surface wasn't actually flat, as phone the phone crashes to the ground, having been slowly inching

I've used dropbox for quite a long time (and still use), with a 10Gb free account (bumped up from the base by various deals, and things like the old summer treasure hunt when they still did that). I still prefer it for automated backup

More like a distribution that contains the unifi controller and a few other peices. (i.e. the unifi network controller piece in UniFiOS is the same as the one you deploy yourself)

Agreed, Mikrotik's configuration is sufficiently different from just about anything else that it takes some significant getting used to. Admittedly it's still not as awkward/bad as Draytek.

Most people I know in a similar situation went with generic ip cameras paired with a synology nas for an inexpensive option.

That would be where something like auditd would come in, configured so that if the audit logs location runs low on space (or out of space), it will halt the system. (Yes, quite harsh, but for some use cases it may be the right thing to do,

As others have said, Kea is a DHCP server. More than that, it is an ISC project, is the successor to ISC DHCP (now end-of-life & unsupported for a few years), and weirdly started out as part of BIND 10. Ref: https://www.isc.o

I've used one of the variants of this (barrier) in the past on a very low budget video wall. 3x3 array of 32"-ish monitors each attached to a raspberry pi, so it was extremely useful to control from a single keyboard/mouse. I
