    Yeah I'm going to wait for lidl to do them, that's the plan anyway. Anything you can buy now is ~£600 (ecoflow is the brand I've seen). Hoping some others take the plunge first to …

    This is going to be made legal in the UK on the 27th August. Max 800w inspired by Germany. I'll definitely get some panels and see how they go.

    Does there need to be an open standard or file format for context? Open models should align on the same format for portability? Could be sqlite based so it can be queried by other …

    +1 to this. KOReader acts like an always-on "app" opened from the regular kindle launcher. I believe there may be a way to make it auto start on boot, but it doesn't replace the ba…

    It says Stanley Robotics in the article: https://www.stanley-robotics.com/ Edit: seems like they got bought out in 2024 by HL Robotics: https://en.hlrobotics.co.kr/

    WhatsApp does appear to have some "business" account/API type stuff which I assume is scriptable. But I don't believe it's got a free tier for personal use (although I haven't pers…

    This is cool. I wish Signal had a bot API like telegram's.

    I'm in the same boat, and have been meaning to try immich but slightly worried about migration effort. Should I import fresh into Immich or setup my existing photoprism as an exter…

    This only happens in the UK in clubs that have a history of violence or drug use (often leading to harms and death) and is a condition of a license. This is nowhere near the univer…

    Apologies for the youtube shorts link, but Liz Kendall was on LBC yesterday talking about VPNs: https://youtube.com/shorts/WvHl3G6KojI I believe they're "doing research" into it, w…

    Huh, it works just fine in the UK. Wonder if they have different builds (or completely different apps) for different regions. Or maybe it's the GrapheneOS compatibility layer that …

    I knew it was owned by github, but this is the first time I've personally seen the release notes on github's blog instead of npm's.

    Web-based IDEs like VSCode on github just had a 1-click github token stealing vulnerability: https://blog.ammaraskar.com/github-token-stealing/ You could argue this is probably on …

    I think this is by design. I think small independent new websites will cease to exist. I'm generally supportive of bans like this, but I don't want it to come at the expense of the…

    Would be good to be able to select multiple points on the compass and have it tell me the best place for it (front and back garden)

    Smyths toys is doing pretty well in my town, in an out of town centre retail park admittedly. It is situated in a fairly new retail park that got built exactly behind the old one w…

    It does! Ollama provides a helper to launch it with the local model too: https://docs.ollama.com/integrations/pi So you can do: ollama launch pi --model gemma4:26b And it launches …

    I had the best success yet earlier today running https://pi.dev with a local gemma4 model on ollama on my m4 Mac with 48GB ram. I think pi is a lot lighter than Claude code.

    That is interesting. In the UK they're both available pretty much everywhere, and they're some of the cheapest drug prices I've seen anywhere in the world... ~20p for 16 tablets or…

    Yeah thought it might be something like that, I just couldn't recall off the top of my head which one would get passed to the share context.

    Thanks! I assumed simpler == faster, but my ignorance is showing itself. I am using the model they recommended in the blog post - which I assumed was using MLX?

    OK thanks! That's helpful. I ignorantly assumed simpler prompt == faster first response.

    I have an M4 Max with 48GB RAM. Anyone have any tips for good local models? Context length? Using the model recommended in the blog post (qwen3.5:35b-a3b-coding-nvfp4) with Ollama …

    I keep emailing my (Labour) MP about this, I suggest you do the same! I get the standard "protecting the children" response. I am not voting Labour again if this madness is still i…
