I paused to read whenever a new Om’s essay popped up in the RSS feed; for me, Om was an uniquely observant voice of tech, who never compromised and always looked at the world from a human perspective. This has been one of my favorite ones,

Nice homage to MiniPCs - I have a fanless N150 box with usb-c HDD as a carefree NAS/docker host for years.

I remember doing benchmark on LAN about 5 years ago, and Nextcloud was order of magnitude slower than Seafile even for basic file sync (on the order of tens of GB).

Congratulations to building a cool company that inspired thousands, then converting it to LLM reply bot, and then selling it to enterprise graveyard to be dehumanized and monetized even further.

Yes, and solution to externalities is regulation.

It seems highly suspicious that all the target cost estimates are for $150-$400, regardless if it’s a bench for pelican on bicycle, or a clone of AAA game. It reminds me of scam eshops where everything cost $random dollars in a hope that so

I love this thread. So: Useful support agents = can do things user doesn’t have permission for = are a vulnerable attack vector. Or they don’t have permission and are just glorified KB search.

“Just get an EV” is the “let them eat cake” in disguise. If I had a house and could charge EV at home, and had 1-2 kids, I might consider Tesla. Public charging has iterated roughly to what gasoline costs (because that’s what people are wil

What I missed in analysis is that service sold isn't "selling your bandwidth to a highest bidder" - it's an universal binary delivery system, so if someone would pay more for eg. binary that explores your network and ins

Yes, but I already have an iPad and they have an excellent hardware and keyboard. I'm mad at the thought that I'd buy additional hardware instead of Tim Shareholder Value enabling a single boolean flag.

I am trying to do the same, and I absolutely don't understand what is happening in the 3-5 seconds while two gigahertz-level machines and a modern monitor negotiate something over tens-gigabit-per-second connection. If Steve Jobs her
