MacBook Neo is a clear business win. Cheap, available, consistent, works with standard Jamf MDM, and trivial warranty repairs/replacemnts. Most small to medium enterprises run off SaaS. The most common local tool is Office suite, which

Vaccines can be singled out as a specific type of prophylaxis. The distinction is that a vaccine will train your immune system to actively destroy the foreign body, while a prophylactics might just prevent it from spreading or taking hol

The thing I found limiting when I tried to run Steam remotely from my lounge room was the need to actually interact with the host PC at certain points, not just during the initial setup. I found this is the same on a lot of similar platform

The eee-pc was amazingly attractive in a time when laptops were heavy. I used to carry one in my toolbox when I worked as a network field tech.

I don’t want a textbook on this topic, because they’re tiresome. lcamtuf’s tendency to pick apart odd aspects of tech is drawn from the same type of curiosity that inspired me to learn most of what I know about tech.

I set it up out of curiosity a few months ago and realised I had no requirement for it whatsoever. I’m actually very time-poor, so figured it could help be clawed back time doing… what exactly?

I should qualify that the vast majority of braided stuff I have accumulated over the years is junk. thats over ten years products freebies, packs of 3 bought on the cheap, a few ‘fancier’ ones here and there, and at least a couple of eme

I went down the rabbit hole of cable testers, and concluded that that thicker and stiffer almost always meant ‘better’ support for higher speed and charge rates. Anything braided is almost always junk. I don’t have a requirement for anythin

As much as I would like pricing APIs as well, the economics don’t add up for retail, and it would effectively lead to a scalper’s market. A regular Joe consumer shouldn’t have to learn python to get thier foot in the door because some arbit

Up until the 90’s airline in flight entertainment use stethoscope style earphones. My dad used to steal them for his workshop as a way to hear for leaks in various parts. Our ears and eyes are very high bandwidth sensors.

I stopped reading halfway through in frustration and then saw your apology. You only need to apologise to yourself really.

Seems like a contender for the tricorder prize that was announced ten or so years ago might not be too far off.

I think they’re saying it’s irrelevant now, possibly because it’s less likely to trail off on meandering thought bubbles.

There are still support benefits in commercial offerings, and not everyone can vibe code. The trash I ask Claude to whip up for my weird edge cases is certainly increasing in reliability lately though.

Anecdotally, Claude Code has prompted an explosion of open source projects and prototypes from self-starters. A lot of these are just hobby projects, but some of them genuinely fill a niche that was previously too complicated or unviable to

Why would we need a study? It’s just escapism.

Should do. Private relay really would be a sweet alternative to residential scraping proxies, but I’d expect sites to put in additionally checks and captchas before too long.

I scrolled through a few pages and still don’t really know what it is. Also, ‘AVO’ is short for ‘apprehended violence order’ in Australia, also known a restraining order in other parts of the globe. Pretty hard to get past a term that’s fre
