Agree on Paul Hudson being great, but not so much on the guiding around the pitfalls. One big issue with the Swift community in general in my opinion is that a lot of the community content is incredibly shallow. Most of them are fine with &

Setting up a Pi-Hole taught me a ton about how networks work. It's a really cool thing to setup for fun.

I find Cursor (or any LLM in general) to be amazing at doing very simple and concrete tasks for me. It really saves me a lot of time. But the keyword here is "simple and concrete". I do not understand why people expect those tools

Ah, for some reason I recalled Workspace being a lot more expensive than that. That seems fine for me indeed.

I was always fascinated by people who can pull things like this off. Had a similar feeling reading about how the CarThing was cracked a couple of days ago. How do you get started with something like this? Is it just having a ton of knowledg

The instructions are also completely messed up, if you're using macOS you need to go into a Discord server to get the real instructions. If the owner is reading this, I suggest focusing on one thing at a time instead of trying to finis

A mini description of this since the page doesn't explain it very well: The CarThing is basically a mini Linux device that runs a web app that lets you control your phone's Spotify from the hardware itself. It was designed to be a

I've tried this and the article misses a huge point. It looks like this prevents _every_ app on the phone from being uninstalled, not just the one declaring it.

I've been running it for a year on a RPi 2, via WiFi, from a SD card *and* a Zigbee dongle, which is basically what everyone seems to say you should not do, and never had a single issue with it. I don't think these issues have any

Apple has historically not cared about mid-level companies and above, and SwiftUI is just another example of that. Everything they do is geared towards absolute beginners / very simple projects, even Xcode itself becomes basically usel

Well, this is interesting because what you described is the best way to start a project. Trying to build something too broad from the get-go is very likely to fail, starting small/specific and expanding from there usually works conside

This is a perfect example of how attaching money to a hobby is guaranteed to ruin it. Dealing with customers is a gigantic pain in the ass, it doesn't matter if it's a large product or some niche esoteric project. I have the exact

Interesting how the article says they're puzzled why he decided to be anonymous, then proceeds to mention that what he did is highly illegal in Ireland. It seems pretty obvious why he wants to be left alone...

I use Alexa exclusively as a voice control feature for my Home Assistant server. If they allowed Alexa to process commands locally, the product would be a lot more attractive.

Because doing so is pointless for a mobile/front-end app. The attacker has physical access to the device; there's no way to stop them at this point. The only thing you can do is make the process more annoying in hopes that they wi

I had the same experience. When we think about being our own boss we think it just means that we can code whatever we want, when in reality it means we are responsible for _everything_, including things we don't want to do. I too reali
