Fair point. After leaving my comment I realised what would likely be better is an easily replaceable battery. It may take up a bit more space but would IMO be worthwhile implementing. I set my phone to only charge to 80% because I'd li

Give me an 8000mah battery. That should take up some more space.

Can probably set up some kind of AI workflow that exports your bookmarks -> attaches them to an LLM chat -> asks the LLM if anything across your bookmarks can be useful for the problem you're tackling/googling/etc.

Sounds a bit like Intel's Optane which was seemed great in principle but I never had a use for it. https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/details/mem... https://en.wik

If everything on show at open sauce were those stupid 3D printed dragons I'd agree with you. But the maker movement is massive and interesting and goes very very deep. You can self-learn as much about engineering as you'd learn at

A Lot of improvement has happened on Android regarding this. I think Samsungs have 6 or 7 years of guaranteed software updates, as do Pixel phones.

Pixel phone settings -> system -> rules It may be Pixel-exclusive, though I used to use the Google Assistant rules on my old phone and they mostly worked IIRC.

I have 2 rules set on my Pixel - First one sets my phone to silent when I arrive at work (500m radius I think). It also sets it back to loud (or whatever the previous state was) automatically when I leave that radius. Second one sets my pho

I bought this keyboard years ago and enjoyed using it for about a week. Then 3-5 keys stopped working entirely and nothing I did would fix them. Recall having a tough time getting a refund on Amazon. Guess it's good to hear I must have

I'm not worried about blatant advertising like you put forth. There's so much dirty subliminal or informal advertising that you can do with these things.

I fully agree! ... and then you try your hand at Stardew Valley fishing and all sorts of weird frustrations bubble up inside you haha.

Great article! On mobile I can't find anywhere to demo/see the animated content in action, not sure if it's desktop only or what.

I got a weird feeling from the MegaLag video, but overall don't think Honey are entirely in the clear either. From the AMA it seems Honey has been in the business of taking some/all affiliate revenue even in cases where it finds n

I've only recently switched to Cursor so am not clued up about everything, but they mention that the embedded indexing they do on your code is shared with others (others who have access to that repository? Unsure). It did seem to take

OneDrive space (through MS365 single or family licence) works out much cheaper in my country. I'm sure in the EU it is GDPR-compliant. YMMV but OneDrive has been improving a lot. Their web photos browsing is comparable to Google Photos

Some good points made in the article. If you use the terminal for any appreciable amount of time I heavily suggest getting fzf (even if just for the search). Tmux is great if you need any more than 1 terminal window open at once - just rema

This is cool! It seems nobody has asked/suggested this so I'll do it - I would love to specify time of day/traffic conditions during which to determine time taken to travel. In the next year or two we'll be looking to mo

In the same vein as this I've wondered for a couple years now what the impact of flash storage longevity is on mobile phone performance over time. Felt like my Samsung S8 was very snappy when I got it, yet a couple years later things t

Glean.com? We had an intro meeting with them, pricing only makes sense if you're in a first world country and have 100+ or maybe 150+ employees. I recall pricing started at 50k USD per year but may be remembering incorrectly. Please ta

Topics of discussion change, in this thread I believe we're talking about AIs "hallucinating" "content". Not books specifically. You make a valid point though, which is actually more scary now that I think about it.
