    We started using it for unifi.ui.com and the render performance gain has been massive.

    Yes, in some European countries, although only for a limited time and they never sold well.

    Yes. Android Auto and CarPlay still work and you get basic Google Maps functionality without signing in. You can't download additional apps though.

    These levels exist since the DSM-5, which is not yet in use everywhere: The DSM-5 introduced three ASD levels of severity: level 1 (“requiring support”), level 2 (“requiring substa…

    I run our office IT, and WiFi 7 is just better at managing congestion. We have a floor in a busy building and 5Ghz is chaos. 6E is fine, it's just strangely old for a company like …

    The lack of WiFi 7 is disappointing. 6E is fine but by now I'd expect 7 in new computers.

    Has anyone been able to confirm if the macOS 26.1 developer beta is affected? I updated to it pretty quickly and haven't been able to reproduce the lag on it.

    It's on both. Apple should probably have caught this in beta considering how widespread Electron apps are, and have worked with Electron to fix it or they should've worked around i…

    This might be a good time to remind you that her Vulnicura VR album (that the video you linked to is from) has just been remastered and rereleased. Available on Quest 3 ( https://w…

    It's IEC 62196-2 Type 2 (Mennekes) and CCS2 in Europe. J1772 is the North American standard that is used in CCS1.

    Power generated on a train is probably significantly more expensive than power you can pull from the grid. Most of Amtrak's network does not have power so I assume they rely on gen…

    Almost all of the other things you want to get rid of are legal requirements in some regions. Auto start-stop is generally to meet emissions targets. European safety regulations ha…

    DPI happens on a UniFi Gateway. That could be the same hardware as the controller when it's a UniFi device like a Dream Machine/Dream Router, but it doesn't have to be. The Gateway…

    The last few years it's been tougher and tougher to get them. Even in Europe you can now only buy them directly from Sony, and Amazon in a few countries. Sony is not selling them v…

    I still really like Sony phones. Excellent hardware. They have no online services they are trying to push, they just want you to buy their phones. As a result, the stock software i…

    That depends on how they're set up. There is no real protocol difference between MasterCard and Visa debit vs credit. Delhaize in Belgium also uses them and you can definitely use …

    I wonder if this is a Swedish thing. I recently moved to a newly built apartment in Stockholm (as a non-Swede). All spots to put a ceiling light come with a hook and DCL socket, so…

    Internally at Facebook you could also just call React components from XHP. Not very relevant on what you see on Facebook now as a user, but in older internal tools built with XHP i…

    UniFi access points run OpenWRT. The latest beta releases for the U7 series for example is on OpenWRT 23.05.

    Audio is tiny compared to video (and even images), especially for podcasts, think ~1MB/minute. And they compress well if you want them to be smaller. High quality video (think 4K H…

    If you can run your application on Cloudflare Pages / Workers with Cloudflare's storage/DB things, it really gets dirt cheap (if not free) and very fast. And even without that, Clo…
