Would this still result in creating unnecessary costs for Kiwi Browser? Above I believe it was mentioned that the reason these extensions were disabled was to prevent users from racking up costs for requests to search engines (?) with adblo

As a user of Kiwi Browser I find this to be a reasonable approach, and I understand the needs here. I would, however, think that it would have been nice to have a warning for users that are installing one of these extensions along the lines

The ToS for this claims that you have to pay for it to use the results commercially, but I couldn't find the pricing for it anywhere or any way to sign up. Interesting, as the primary use case for this seems to be something along the l

On the other hand, you can use a very similar kiosk escape on the Tesla YouTube app which is just a webview to get a full screen browser while in Park on the Model 3. There is a Factory Reset and/or a Clear Browser Data function under

I'm wondering what the properties of thixomolding parts are like compared to casting compared to having the part machined out of a solid piece. One thing I personally noticed with these types of "cast-looking" parts is that t

The guidance and control system seems to run on a GTK (?) app running on what looks like Ubuntu 10.04. An HDMI cable can be seen running to the monitor. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ClkytJa0ghc&t=33s If I had to take

Yes, to an extent. I tried a bunch of things to get it to generate kick drums, but it seemed to always include some other drums like a snare or even the cymbals. Piano worked fine for me too. I haven't spent too long with it yet but I&

This feature actually appears to have been implemented at some point. It's called Pairing Lock. The only problem is I'm not sure if it has been silently removed, since on my phone and AirPods the same location in the screenshot no

While some of the behaviour here is less professional than I'd expect for user data, I'm wondering what a good architecture for building a system to leverage visual telemetry without harming user privacy would really look like. Th

How does this compare to the "LuLu" app from Objective-See? IIRC that one was open source, while this isn't. A few years ago there was a concern that Apple was exempting itself from some of these firewalls. Were these concern

Speaking of durability, this has a very interesting characteristic that I very much like. Unlike an SSD, DRAM has inherently very poor data durability and it is very easy and fast to erase anything. Unfortunately, since they are using a S

It might be because it thinks your card is "prepaid". I tried a Wise card and it didn't work, but a normal credit card from the bank worked. The payment method also cannot be attached to a different account

Speaking of heat pumps and granular control, I recently figured out that some Midea heat pumps (usually sold rebranded to various brands) contain two interfaces to get and set detailed information: 1) Detailed diagnostics i.e. RPMs, feeds,

When I was doing research to potentially purchase a broken Nissan Leaf to try to fix, I found a bunch of reports of EA chargers causing damage to cars. According to some sources on Reddit, the problem is that the charging station does not r

TL;DR a heat pump isn't worth it in Vancouver, BC, for me anyway. As a counterpoint to what seems to me like extremely high rates for electricity, as of right now in Vancouver, BC, Canada, I recently calculated that a heat pump would c

I personally buy a used Pro Max device with some warranty left for close to $1000 CAD (~750 USD USD) one year after it's released e.g. I'm using the 13 Pro Max now, which I bought after the 14 Pro Max was released. One year later,

It appears that a large number of these are rebranded AMI MegaRAC software running on ASPEED processors, which are a little ARM chip with a virtual display card hanging off a PCIe x2 slot embedded into the mainboard. AFAIK larger vendors li

You can just go put "PLC" into AliExpress and you will get a bunch of FX01 clones, or you could put "GX Developer" since all of these seem to be compatible. Unfortunately GX Developer doesn't appear to be free, but

I definitely see where you're coming from and I think these are valid points. In my personal experience though, there definitely does exist a market of "price insensitive, as long as it's under x". I think Arduino probab

Is there any pathway to creating something that's like Arduino but suitable for professional use? The primary benefits of such a solution would be 1) Freely reuse code and open source ecosystem 2)"Professional Grade" technica

I'm thinking (but can't confirm) that the intended market for these is companies that are too small to care about things like "well established vendors", where budgets are measured on the magnitude of hundreds of dollars

One of the unique features of MacBook devices, is that as of the 2019 16", they can charge off of as little as 5V. I have powered mine from a power bank and cable that did not support "fast charging" (I think it topped out at

To be fair, this was built by a toy company, who also makes things to the likes of Power Wheels toys or whatnot. It was never intended to go particularly fast or be particularly powerful, and most of the cost was probably from the fact that

iOS Safari at least used to limit the memory, particularly the WebGL GPU memory, to something like 15 MB after which it would hard crash. I think this might be what's happening here since all of the websites are iframed (there seems to
