Huh, I thought Asahi would still be too unpolished on M2 to play games reliably. Could you elaborate on your setup a little? What kind of games do you play? What is performance like? Is it really better than Crossover for example?

Reminds me of the /r/flashlight user (and therefore flashlight enthusiast) who got a power outage in a grocery store [1]. There's probably a guy with decent on-site compute having a great day right now. [1] https:/&#x2F

Hmm, I made it to #4 in the daily challenge on a 14" MacBook keyboard. Surely you can do better, guys.

To be fair I've been using 24h time all my life and I still sometimes say 5 when I meant 15 (3), at least once a year.

I mean, Orion exists (on Mac at least, although I heard there's a Linux version now?). Might not have its own engine built from the ground up, but WebKit is pretty much the next best thing.

I've tried this with information dense podcasts, reading the transcript while listening. That works really well for me, but I hadn't considered doing the same with books. Honestly seems like a great idea, I'll give this a go.

Yep, the memory in the ChatGPT macOS app is also starting to piss me off. I think developers generally dislike ‘hidden’ state, which is what memory essentially becomes.

Not that surprising if the reason you have virtually unlimited compute and programming resources is that you work at the leading short form video app company. They could also have chosen nót to open source it.

I cannot fathom why you'd pay $750 for Plex when Jellyfin is free.

For that specific use case you could also try `yazi`[0], which is a TUI file browser that has image (and other filetypes) preview built in. [0] https://github.com/sxyazi/yazi

Even worse than a rubber ducky: the O.MG cable does the same thing, but looks like a regular USB cable. Their Apple Lightning-dupe [0] is my favorite. The creator was on Darknet Diaries a while ago, too. [1] [0] https://shop.hak5

> I'd already been programming for like 10 years when I started this job The first 6-12 months after university are largely about 'learning how to work'. I'd say getting that out of the way is a pretty nice head start

Oh this is super cool! Funny enough that just a few minutes ago I gave GPT-5.5 in the Copilot CLI an image of the floor plan of my balcony and asked it to come up with a zig-zag pattern for a 14m string of lights I'm considering buying

If LLM's were a mature product then this would be true at some point. However, you could argue (and I will) that the popularization of on-device LLM inference will lead to two things: - Consumers of LLM inference (developers and hobbyi

Oh I LOVE this, we can't have enough of these privacy-focused non-profits making tech companies' lives difficult. They have such a strong argument here, too. I can imagine that whoever came up with this is very pleased with theirs
