The camera is busted up. Although to be honest, I don't ever think I had thought of trying to fix it to take pictures... It's just been sitting on a shelf. Looks nice.

The only thing that allows these sort of projects to exist is a very unhealthy obsession. And believe me, I spent 2 years hacking Fujifilm cameras. Still am. Can't stop.

7 or so years ago I bought an old brownie camera and I found a roll of film in it. Still have no idea what's on it. I read that I shouldnt expose it to any light.

It makes me really sad that some modern apps don't work on older Android versions. For the apps I'm currently working on, I'm making a big deal out of them being responsive and usable on 8 yr old phones.

Kolibri OS was written entirely in Assembly. I think the performance was pretty poor compared to C operating systems. Much easier to write optimized algorithms in high level languages. https://kolibrios.org/en/

Once I tried a Linux-based livecd distro with the UI being entirely in JS, ran through CEF or electron. It was an abomination, and awfully slow. There's just something so evil and funky about building an OS with web tech...

Start a reverse-engineering project like I did, and you'll quickly find yourself reading 10s of thousands of lines of assembly. Or at best, decompiled generic C.

My 2000 Jeep had this. From my understanding, the fuel pump and filter are designed to last the same, and should be replaced at the same time.

I've had something so very similar. At one point I started having a lot of 'pressure' headaches after coming of Zoloft. It lasted for about 4 months. Just constant throbbing pain in the temples, and prevented me from doing cr

Same problem in the US. 16year olds think the only way to be cool is to attach a stupid rattler to your exhaust, or cut a hole to make it louder, or intentionally make it backfire.

I tried to use vscode, but I hated the high CPU usage. My laptop literally gets warm when scrolling through code. And fan go brrrrr

"Please purchase a sublime text license" popup every 15 saves. Been about 5 years since I last used it.

It's sad that the windows kernel and API aren't even that bad, but Microsoft insists on shipping as much bloatware and spyware as they can. Do I really have to use a debloater to have a usable OS?

Been using it as my main editor for the past 3 years now, coming from Sublime Text. It's been a great editor so far, but it's missing a lot of modern features, and the plugin support seems to be next to none.

After a few years, writing CSS by hand gets really old. There's always 5 different ways to do something, and I don't know which one is the most performant or portable.

Today I got chatgpt to generate a basic TCP server template in C for an app I'm working on. If I didn't have AI, I probably would have searched for a GitHub gist and there would have probably been a more accurate template.

Another great feature is the refactoring plugins, haven't seen that in any CLI editors

I really wish somehow Flutter or react native would be written in Rust or some other language on the same level. I hate having to deal with JavaScript or some half baked compiler.

I remember running a server on an old tablet several years ago, it was awful. You would have to deal with the server not automatically starting up, not to mention the battery eventually failing and expanding.

I remember running a web server on an old tablet several years ago. What changed? Is it not possible on newer devices?

Lol I got a soldering iron just to play with this firmware. Only used it a few times though.

I just made something exactly like this a few weeks ago. My main goal was to see if I could self-host it. How long will it be before Marsha is self hosted?

You can dual-license, but you'll have to get contributors to sign a CLA.

A while ago I had looked into pricing to have all the parts for the open astro tracker printed, and it was pretty cheap if I chose the low quality options. How does this service stack up against the big ones?

Every now I'll use ChatGPT or bard to refactor some code, or write a common algorithm. Other than that, I don't trust it.

Last time I tried Rust on bare metal it needed a bunch of hacks or C code to glue it all together. It's just too high level for the most bare metal applications.

Ive written a few android apps in webview, and I don't want to do it ever again. For small apps maybe, but large scale apps in JavaScript is a nightmare to maintain.

Is that Google Photos? It does it by default if you back up images there, and can be disabled.
