I noticed something similar to this on my Insta360 ONE X charger. Initially I thought I could just use any USB power adapter but after many tries it turned out that the vendor implemented their own voltage on their charger sold separately.

I usually go with the followings: Sidebar[0], Kottke.org[1], Waxy[2]. Obviously, Twitter and Hacker News get interesting links first, so typically these 3 websites repost after something becomes famous. [0] https://sidebar.io&#x2

It's scary how much information browsers give out for free, I wish I could use a browser that completely blocks and limits fingerprinting but nowadays I can barely watch YouTube or completing an online purchase flow with ad-blockers en

This is insane, was there additional software installed by your employer that might have conflicted with the updating process? In my case we have lots of remotely controlled macOS updates that get triggered and supervised by the company I w

I have used the Floppy-EMU from BMOW and it was incredibly powerful I was able to emulate hardrives and floppies on both Apple II and Macintosh Plus that I own. Glad to see this guy is still making new products for the retrocomputing commun

I recently wrote a blog post [1] about the comeback in popularity of these web desktops, especially after seeing a lot of these being posted on HN recently. OS.js was one of the early projects I started tracking years ago, and it's rea

That’s really cool, I wonder effective these designs really are! This reminds me of a font that came out 10 years ago ZXX [1] that was presumably designed to hide from OCRs. [1] https://www.businessinsider.com/zxx-fonts-that

Nice article I would say the most cyberdeck looking computers from 80s would probably be MSX/MSX2. I remember reading a blog post from a guy converting an old MSX to a working cyberdeck using Raspberry Pi. Now I want to look up the art

I love these kinds of sandbox games, Orb Farm is super nice to have it running directly in the browser for a little procrastination break. Although my favorite is probably The Powder Toy [0], I've been following this project for years.
