Apple’s killer app has always been software finesse and hardware craftsmanship. It feels nice to wear and use an Apple Watch. But cutting edge tech ages like milk. Still prefer a Garmin with a longer battery life.

Nothing rivals the curation of rarbg though. It’s so well maintained it actually felt like browsing a library. Unfortunately none of the proxies copied that feature.

WeChat is garbage. The only reason it gained prominence is because (better) alternatives are banned or blocked, causing spillover network effect to Chinese outside of China.

I wanted to adopt MacOS… but I quickly realized how bad an idea it’s going to be… the M1 would probably sit unused in the shelf after the first week.

Yeah, they use words like “allegedly” or “according to unnamed sources” to free themselves from liability in the event when what they report turns out to be inaccurate. In that case might as well not report the news then if they’re not sure

I wonder how many pwned email and password pair still match. Crooks can take control of these pwned accounts and pretend to be trustworthy.

I’m not going to pretend Bitcoin is the bane of human existence, I have a hunch that a majority of the people cheering Bitcoin’s (alleged) rise either is a fraudster or a grifter.

If crux is what Google is willing to make public, it makes one wonder what else is collected and stored for their own use (i.e. their moat). I’m not using Chrome on all my devices.

The latest m1 MacBooks frankly felt like iPads with permanently attached keyboard. It offers none of the convenience of a typical Wintel laptop, namely getting software running out of the box, and the mouse and touchpad lag is atrocious. I

I’d like to remind you that western media were the first to fling blame on China during the beginning of Covid, for not restricting China nationals from traveling and spreading Covid. Damned if they lockdown, damned if they don’t lockdown.

If you have a Heroku instance you definitely have a local copy of your code stashed somewhere.

I wonder why when China does this it’s always a bad thing. Isn’t the inverse also true i.e. western media influencing and nudging narratives, except that we can actually observe this happening right now. Where do you stand in that case?

Does it do partial transcode? My TV doesn’t support DTS and Plex would transcode it to AC3 and remux with the original video stream before feeding it to my TV.

Yeah these sticks tend to use low powered SoC that chokes on anything higher than 1080p, not to mention missing codecs (Dolby Vision, ATMOS, DTS etc.) and lack of compliance. If you don’t care about any of those or have a TV that don’t do 4

Tried Jellyfin, but it doesn’t seem to have the capability to stream directly to my TV, it always wants to transcode it which strips away all the 4K and HDR niceties. While Plex would try its best to preserve the original stream and only tr
