15 years ago I downloaded podcastaddict, it keeps my RSS feeds and updates them all every morning at 7am, or at the press of a button.

Who is "manually managing mp3" files? My software reads RSS feeds and downloads the podcasts. I never see a file on my phone.

I have had the tooth brush for a while, maybe four or five years. When I saw your comment I figured I should check and see and it looks like they dropped the location permission. https://play.google.com/store/apps/

My "smart" tooth brush wants my location data to use the app....

Lets say instead of 1000s I need to store billions. So far I have been testing with seaweed and it seems to chug along fine at around ~4B files and it is still increasing. Has minio improved on that lately ?

The dev is suprisingly helpful but yeah I agree the wiki is in need of some beefing up w.r.t operations.

Just perverse incentives. Google isn't incentivized to be a good search engine. They are incentivized to be just good enough that you don't go elsewhere while increasing the number of ads / paid results.

Design has its fads just like everything else. Its like how everything was flat for a bit and now my phone icons are slowly drifting back to gradients

It really depends on how you develop. For some people laptops never have enough power and are essentially a thin client to something else.

Wear out HOW much faster, are we talking 1% faster? 10% faster... etc. The difference between replacing a wearable component at 100,000 km or 101,000 doesn't make a huge difference (ignoring the fact that it could just fail earlier due

Every time I read anything about a "break in" on cars it always felt like people were just repeating old wives tales because I could never get an answer on what the result would be if I ignored it. Will the transmission last 5000

This used to be the case when using a computer before the mobile walled gardens took hold. Non tech savvy people don't even realize they are using Chrome in android or Safari on an iphone. They will never change they just use the defau

The price is steep but if I used it every day I could probably justify it. The one thing that I noticed immediately is it seems to still use micro usb. Without usb c it is a non starter, especially at that price.

Those light phones are interesting products and I thought about trying one at one point but seen some mixed reviews.

I mean just look at how popular automated enforcement like speed and red light cameras.

The base load is nuclear but it isnt necessarily cheap. The government tried to take away the hydro subsidies a couple years ago and a bunch of people who live in the middle of no where and use baseboard heating lost their shit so the gover

The flip side is retail workers get worked to death. Around here the only day retail is closed is Dec 25, every other day is open. I have not worked in retail for so long, maybe they prefer the opportunity to make more money I don't kn

In fact they get chided around here for anything that isnt a firefox specific endevour. Browser engines are not a money making business (if it was Microsoft would still be in the game)

The internet has just ruined niche culture a bit in my opinion. I used to be harder to find people in to a specific sub-culture but now it is easy to find a subeditor or whatever. They just feed off each other until they are insufferable. B

It is my very limited experience that the frontend JS devs who mainly have experience working with cloud GUIs and PaaS and do not have a lot of experience in a terminal environment appreciate those types of features.

In 2023 I can't believe they are still naming bills like this "Protecting Young Persons from Exposure to Pornography" Every time a bill gets a moniker like that I assume it is hiding some major government over reach.

So do I, but I am here with you on hacker news and this site is not a representative sample at all. I have never had mobile FF crash on me, largely been a good experience.

I await the usual complaints about Mozilla's side projects as well as the dependence on the search box money from Google. Firefox is never going to be a thing as long as humanity moves from desktops to mobiles where changing the built
