my priority for a TV isn't privacy or user control, it's minimizing annoyance. and appletv, roku, or similar streaming boxes delivers that best.

reasonably important, if you're never connecting your lg tv to any network, and just connecting it to an AppleTV or something and letting HDMI-CEC control it so you never even see their OS.

i've got to wonder how much of this is intentional, and how much of this is just google being their usual terrible selves at anything consumer-product related. Google's biggest and most important customer for all this AI stuff is

From my perspective it wasn’t death by a thousand cuts, it all comes back to just one cut: an over-reliance on volunteer moderators. If they paid staff to run their communities, they could have issued a simple “don’t be a dick or we’ll fir

Yeah? I use a $15 cable for my mouse. And then when my mouse is done charging I put the cable back in the bag with my portable monitor, which the same cable also works for.

you'll never guess what solution i'd suggest for that specific problem...

by notatoad 3mo ago
okay, i mean, that's exactly what my original comment said: this is only a problem if you buy cheap cables.

amazon hides some prices because i'm viewing the page from canada, but it looks like that says the cable you linked is $15? that's what i've been paying for cables, and it seems reasonable to me.

This is really only a problem if you buy cheap cables. Pick the baseline spec you want your USB cables to meet, and throw out all the ones that don’t. Problem solved. It’s still a minor frustration if you have to borrow a cable, but that’

My understanding of the ai circular financing racket is that not everyone will be running for a chair. Nvidia owns all the chairs, and they’re letting other companies pretend to for a while, but if it all falls apart the backstop to the c

they don't just sell to law enforcement, they install surveillance equipment under contract to law enforcement. if they didn't get to have cameras everywhere, they wouldn't have as much to sell.

It does. Claude has a built in review and it’s pretty good. But it doesn’t know exactly what you want. This is a way to tell it. Good way to double your token use though, if you’re concerned about that.

i'm not sure all those "installs on actual phones" in china are real - 107k installs all on the same device, vs ~30k installs on the next most popular device. and 150k devices on an unknown carrier. is the Xiaomi Mi 8 reall

Using something third party isn’t free - even for zero monetary cost there’s integration cost, documentation, support, and maintenance uncertainty. The choice between rolling your own and third party is already a trade-off. The future unce

Yeah, we rolled our own auth as well. Everybody says you shouldn’t, it’s a risk, etc etc. but to me that’s less risk than our auth getting bought by somebody whose business goals don’t necessarily align with mine.

I don’t think that’s true. Some people really do have product ideas that they want to share with the world. The problem is that those people are really bad at making money, and have a hard time competing with the people whose motivation is

Is this talking to claude code, or to claude api (and paying api rates)? programatically routing requests through claude code sounds like a good way to get banned, just like the opencode and openclaw users.
