I had a slightly older galaxy as my last android phone, and had this problem with the galaxy buds and with the anker ones I got to replace them. My experience with audio on android (Samsung and pixel) was overwhelmingly “this sucks” so I’m

I’m pretty much the definition of an Apple fanboy - every device in my house is Apple (because the hardware works, is reliable and it works together). That said, I have one windows machine for work and my AirPods just don’t work with it.

Yeah not far off it! It predates quic and is a bit more specialised but it works great!

I work on an application that does a lot of high frequency networking in a tcp like custom framework. Our protocol guarantees ordering per “channel” so you can send requesr1 on channel 1 and request2 on channel 2 and receive the responses i

Sure - they got that key from _somewhere_. The reality is that if a key is being sold for $5, approx $0 will go to the developer - g2a get a cut, payment provider gets a cut, and either the key was bought for a rounding error of that price,

I'm a firm believer in letting bygones be bygones. I bought from them too (cdkeys back in the day) before i learned the truth!

I work in games. Please don't buy games from g2a and the likes. In the best case, g2a make money and the developer doesn’t . in the worst case you're buying bogus keys or stolen accounts. Please, just pirate games instead.

I use rider on Mac (and windows to be fair) and i think the experience is better than visual studio on windows. My biggest gripe with dotnet tooling is dotnet format. It’s not quick enough to use on a pre commit hook, so people don’t run it

by maccard 1y ago
The problem with hooks is they’re not enforced (in git) so you need to run them in CI.

Others in the thread also do a good job of describing the risk of self hosting - these tools are buggy, have synchronisation issues, have workflow quirks and sharp edges. For all their pain points, google docs works and it’s reliable. I’ve

Yes. In the context of “cheap mobile data devices are widely accessible” I don’t think the distinction matters. If you’re relying on your £1 sim to trigger your solar battery charger and it doesn’t, then it doesn’t matter if you technically

The problem with kubernetes is that containers just aren't quite enough. You have an app which runs, now you want to put it in a container somewhere. Great. how do you build that container? Github actions. Great. How does that deploy y

My experience has always been that TUIs and Terminal emulators these days have massive snags with how they handle control codes and inputs. Pasting into a terminal is a crapshoot of “what on earth is it going to spew back at me”. It’s perfe

yeah. I mean, someone else would _eventually_ figure it out. There wasn't full disk encryption or anyhting on it, so if the guy got hit by a bus, and the machien turned off we probably would have just imaged the disk and got it running

Everywhere I’ve ever worked has had that mission critical box. At one of my jobs we had a server rack with UPS, etc, all the usual business. On the floor next to it was a dell desktop with a piece of paper on it that said “do not turn off”.

Even without that, you are still at the heart of it accessing over a SAN like interface with some sort of local cache. Getting an actual local drive on AWS the performance is night and day

12TB is $960/month in gp3 storage alone. You can buy 12TB of NVMe storage for less than $960, and it will be orders of magnitude faster than AWS. Your use case is the _worst_ use case for the cloud.

I live in the UK, and it’s basically £100 to get a tradesperson to show up to my front door regardless of what I want them to do. I can buy a flat screen TV from £100 new from one of the UK high street retailers [1] , or £85 [2] if I go on
