Chrome, at least until they kill uBlock. Hopefully the new administration will keep the DoJ attempt to make them sell it.

Heh, similarly, I bought the C&C Remastered Collection ( https://store.steampowered.com/app/1213210/Command__Conquer_... ) because it was such a large part of my childhood. I played for a few minutes, listened t

I've used the cheapo Wyze Lock ( https://www.wyze.com/products/wyze-lock?variant=423027510806... ), which is a deadbolt-only replacement with the $20 keypad ( https://www.wyze.com/products/wyze-l

Have you ever tried the Tidal streams ( https://tidal.com/sound-quality ) in FLAC? Are those at all comparable to these high-quality recordings you mentioned? As someone who grew up later in the MP3 era (90s), I guess I never

+1, bought a TCL and returned it the next day and wrote off the brand forever.

Their software stack is just terrible. Even after multiple resets, many of their devices would not work. Some of their error screens are secretly stateful too, requiring you to do the same thing 4-5x before it'll let you try an alterna

Out of curiosity, what issues have you had with them? (I'm not at all involved with their development, just a fellow user of them). I had the Bose and Sony ones. They were OK, just uncomfortable. Been using the in-ear Airpods Pro for a

The way I understand it, the employees "yelled" and "screamed" to not launch the app because it wasn't ready: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/09/it-was-the-wrong-dec... Leadershi

What do your teachers say about this? Surely they're aware of the difficulties right now...? It might be a bit too late :( This story just came out yesterday: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/11/24/business&#

You're using Visual Studio, not VSCode, right? It looked like Microsoft had at one point experimented with a hosted dev space for it under the name "Visual Studio Online": https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=

You can get Windows cloud VMs to use as dev environments. We're basically back to the dumb terminal days, lol. For your Macs, you can also try using Parallels with Windows ARM, which might be less laggy than emulating x86 in a VM. Many

Sonos speakers. I got a big system during COVID and it got me through isolation. But then they decided to redo the app and the new one is terrible (not that the old one was ever great; software is not their strength). It's still a bugg

I still do use Craigslist a lot, along with Indeed. I also look up local places I want to work for and look at their open positions directly.

On top of the inefficiencies going from DC to AC and back to DC, I imagine there would also be differences in the CPU throttling curves, the kind of fan used, etc.

Separately, though, I'm reminded of my experience with UWB (ultrawideband) Airtags with a recent-model iPhone... THAT worked phenomenally well. It was kinda magical to experience. But I don't think you could easily scale that up t

I used to work for a large museum a few years ago (2020-2021ish ish) and we looked into this quite a bit and came to the same conclusion as you... none of the methods were very easy or foolproof. Sounds like you've already done some re

OP, not really a skeptic but not quite a believer either... more just wondering out loud, since nobody else has responded... offering "equity in the project" makes it sound like you have no capital and aren't offering a salar

Can you talk more about your use case? What data are you moving around all the time via serverless? Like you're actually egressing large amounts of embedded data in the serverless func itself? Like basically I wonder if there's a

Super interesting. Thanks for the details! (I don't work there or anything, was just curious about the implementation)

Go on? I'm interested in your point, but not completely sure what you mean. That AI is using a lot of energy? Yes, I think it is too. What are the implications of that? Or did you mean something else?

With your script, with the t removed, what happens? Do the videos just start at the beginning now, or is there some internal clock that they start at instead?

In the context of the article, that just means "a lot of companies put together are using more energy than some cities". OK, so what? There are a lot of wasteful companies and industries in the world.

In particular, how well does it work in sunlight / outdoors?

This is kinda meaningless without knowing how much data goes through a given data center, and ultimately how many people-hours it ends up serving. A data center is just a concentrated processing center for many people's computing needs

IMHO: I don't think living minimally is solely (or maybe even primarily) about what you cut out, but how you spend your time and value your life. If you want to live locally, I think it's more about building connections and commun

FWIW, in between, there are also a lot of small towns that are only "semi-rural": short distance from nature and the outdoors, reasonable access to essential healthcare, entertainment, groceries, etc., but without the crazy traffi

For clarity, maybe we should just start saying "that file is thirty-nine point oh six two five kibs". Soon followed by "I have zero point zero friends".
