I'm not going to share my employer, but this is exactly how we operate. Bugs first, they show up on the Jira board at the top of the list. If managers would abuse that (they don't), we'd just convert them to stories, lol. I d

That's the problem in my country. They're not afraid of anyone. It's a true duopoly here. There's no FCC to complain to, I guess the most you can do is weasel your way out of your contract but that leaves you with no int

My visceral reaction is to the slippery slope, and the fact that our government is not to be trusted. I'm honestly not against blocking social media for children. It's just sad that we got to this point. In an ideal world, parents

Okay. I hear your struggles and want to ask: would you rather give others the tools to block your porn, or would you rather have easier access to help?

After having used their repair service for over 10 times for my dishwasher during its warranty period and having broken off its front handle (well, the entire front panel really) after 2 more years, I'm never buying an AEG device ever

An AI that automatically clicks through cookie walls, declining everything: yes please! Chatbot integration number 7193: no thanks.

Exactly. Performance is welcome for everyone. AR is, right now, a gimmick that would eat into performance if you kept the price point the same. Good choice by Valve imo.

by mavamaarten 11mo ago
I'm sure they did their market research. For me it's the exact opposite. Performance is absolutely key to me, and AR is just a fad in my eyes. All it does for me is give a glimpse into the real world if I'm about to bump into

Well. It doesn't say in any docs or specs, but for what it's worth, Valve's hardware has always been open like that. You're free to install windows on your steam deck, for example.

I have a quest 2 where the passthrough is laughable. Would you really use it for anything other than getting a glimpse of the outside world? I sure don't, but that may be because of the shitty camera's. But I never saw the appeal

I would agree, but I'm a bit sad about the resolution. I either want a mediocre resolution for cheap, or a can-do-it-all machine with great resolution for more money. I'm fearful that because of its great computing specs it's

If it's just plug and play and works well, it'd be brilliant. I have experimented a lot with a couple or wifi dongles I had lying around and setting up a hotspot, but honestly I could never get it to work well. Streaming VR conten

Hah. I always assume it's them actively trying to make the experience worse on anything that is not Chrome.

Exactly this. The perfect example is Google Assistant for me. It's such a terrible service because it's so indeterministic. One day it happily answers your basic question with a smile, and when you need it most it doesn't eve

Church ship or kerkschip, but kerkship is an incorrect combination indeed.

That's the first thing I thought when opening it. Sure looks like a "make me an app" response that Claude would output. I mean nothing wrong with that, I needed a silly calculator thingimabob too yesterday (for some CRC check

Well, I gotta use whatever my organization whitelists and provides me a license for. I do use Claude models inside copilot (for Ask/Edit/Agent mode).

My opinion swings between hype to hate every day. Yesterday all suggestions / edits / answers were hallucinated garbage, and I was ready to remove the copilot plugin altogether. Today I was stuck at a really annoying problem for h

Haha yeah that's exactly what I did with my roborock as soon as I rooted it. The voice sentence "Going back to the dock" had such a weird accent that I immediately replaced it. So awesome to be able to do that with a device y

by mavamaarten 1y ago
Ew. I wholly agree with the anti-closed vibe. I even run Valetudo on my roborock. But lol I just want to control my vacuum cleaner locally and that's it. I haven't updated mine for years exactly because I just want shit to work an

Soooo you couldn't change some mattress setting on a cloud-controlled mattress. Not exactly "ruin sleep worldwide" and "go rogue". What trash journalism. Also those images, wow, I really would have preferred no imag

In my limited experience (my use case was a decompiled minified jar that I just wanted to peek around in), LLM's are absolutely fantastic at it. As with any LLM output, of course it won't be 100% perfect, and you shouldn't tr

Ugh. While technically extremely impressive, I'm so tired of the slop. Every AI content generation tool should have a watermarking system in place, and sites like YouTube should have a way to filter out AI generated content from search

I'm sad I went for a WiFi based solution many years back (Tado). They say cloud costs are getting too high and are suddenly super aggressive in limiting API usage. Give me a fully working local API then, you twats. I haven't found

I despise yaml. On top of the points from the article, I never know where to indent and how whitespace is handled on multiline fields. Just a yucky standard all-around

So true. We used to appoint someone in the group to take notes. These notes were always correct, to the point, short and easy to read. Now our manager(s) are heavily experimenting with recording all meetings and desperately trying to produc

I don't think it's bonkers. For running a true home server sure, there's more powerful things out there. But for hosting something like a ZigBee and Z-wave coördinator a Pi makes much more sense. Electricity is expensive, yo

Hah, same reason I bought my Quest 2. Figured I could buy a device that is subsidized by them, and then buy zero games on their platform and stream from my PC instead. I was very angry though when they suddenly took away my USB debugging an

I love the MX vertical's ergonomics, it's really the perfect mouse for me in that regard. It just feels... right. But I'm sad that the mouse is absolutely miles away from the MX Master mice in terms of quality and features. I

Same here. It sucks. But it's just cost vs reward at some point.
