I like your take, we see too many easy-to-write outrage articles on here these days, and rarely do we see a discussion or concrete list of actions that can be taken. eg. send a physical letter to this address, or boycot this or that servic

Agreed, I ditched my spy-phone. I'm using a tp-link M7000 with 4G, for SMS and wifi modem. A simple http page for send and receive SMS. I use the API to have my ZigBee gear SMS me. I showed my dumb-phone to my bank and asked if I nee

Nice. I think I saw mention of support for custom WASM plugins somewhere.

Great idea! I try to buy devices based on 18650. It should be the new AA standard, right? But the so called 'USB' 18650 torch I got has a custom magnetic charger, yuk! The last 3 hand-held vacuum cleaners are 4x18650, but have a

I think Kotlin solves it quite nicely with the trimIndent. I seem to recall Golang was my fav, and Java my least, although I think Java also finally added support for a clean text block. Makes cut 'n' paste embedded shader code,

This caught me out yesterday. I was trying to move models onto external disk, and it seems to require re-installation? but there was no sign of the simple CLI option that was previously presented and I gave up. As a developer feature reque

That sounds good in principle, but is there a more private configuration that doesnt send DNS resolutions to cloudfare, google et al. ie. avoid BigTech tracking, and not wanting DOH. dnsmasq with a list of smaller trusted DNS providers sou

Nice, the posh stuff! I seem to recall that system included remote access and nice control panels. I managed to get remote access working via an iobridge IO-204 X10 module and a custom iOS App. Great fun. I still have the X10 stuff lying

I only recently discovered and invested in the IKEA ZigBee hardware, about the only product their MBAs havent destroyed. The hardware is very well built, and sensibly priced. What I liked most of all was that the hub was optional, and thu

Another heatwave here last week, and I somehow found myself watching that DVD. It as aged quite well, but I found it annoying that they spent half the movie burning books to keep warm, and yet are sourounded by wooden furniture. On that to

I went through the UK online passport renewal system last year, and it is the best website I have used in a very very long time. A real breath of fresh air. It worked perfectly on my old computer and 'ancient' browser. Everythi

Even a single pixel in the IR range is pretty cool, but something inside me wants the RGB pixel color in visible light range. Is that a case of un redshifting this pixel, or needing the optical inferometer you mentioned with multiple single

I have two monitors, but only one of them is 4k and a couple cm bigger, and I dont like to buy stuff unless I really need. It is good enough for me. But this case also comes up on the edge of my laptop when I have the 4k plugged in at the

I found a beautiful giant Giant Sequoia last I was contracting in Luzern, probably as old as the city itself. It's been my (digital) wallpaper ever since. But my favourites have always been the oaks, and I still plant acorns whenever

I use DDG too, but that has also recently started inserting AI spam as the first result. I keep switching if off, but soon reappears. I dont care if it useful or not, but on principle I wont buy or use any service with 'AI', I f

Great clean video link thanks, but I cant work out the scale, first it looks like a toy rocket, then from the distance shot it looks huge, like spaceX huge, and then landing it looks quite small again, especially with the lawn sprinklers. B

I wonder what percentage we could expect from a true general AI, 100% ? It would be nice to know that at least our literature might survive the technological singularity.

I seem to recall my first RH install/live demo, was a cover disc from one of the comp mags at the time. I guess these days the disc would just have an unlock code for a vast download, followed by another vast download to update. >F

Keeping Zig simple and close to C seems the most beneficial. Something that can be used everywhere that C is currently used. Otherwise it moves from systems programming language into applications programming.

I found the data on attention span really interesting and quite shocking. I'm also driving a 'dumbphone' but disappointed with HMD's / Nokia's definition. It still has a fb app, yuk! and tries to do things wit

I found this one so far: https://github.com/emard/ulx3s_c64 Exciting to have an alternative to de10-nano, especially seeing the price doubled? since I got mine. Amazing project anyway, and brings back dreams of buildin

Thanks, I have a tecsun PL320 on the way, the 330 was unavailable here. But I like that it has the old nokia battery, I think, same as my current old dumb phone. I also went for a pair of motorolla walkie talkies.

If a company the size of MS isn't able handle the DOS caused by the LLM slurpers, then it really is game over for the open internet. We are going to need government approved ID based logins to even read the adverts at this rate. But t

That looks great, thank-you. It has lead me down a rabbit hole or radios, walkie talkies, and then I remembered my old CB rig. Funny how the old tech suddenly looks a lot more advanced.

Thanks. I'll have another look, the ones I'd seen on amzn es looked a bit gimmicky, solar torch, hand crank, bt, but looked like they would last 5min or melt in the rain.

We awoke to power the next day, but mobile phone services only returned some hours later. Amazing how busy the banks were with people desperately seeking cash. Unfortunately the banks dont handle cash here now, and the ATMs were all offli
