One area every editor has failed for me is a very basic one: can I type a full sentence in the editor using my iPhone? Wordgard failed that test. Inputs coming from autocorrect or …

You can already do that today with existing ARM-powered Windows devices (well, most of them anyway).

Follow up question: why does this need dedicated hardware? What does a dedicated $200 device do that the same app running on a smartphone can’t?

This is literally just a pretty RDP client that connects to a cloud VM running full-blown Windows, so yes, you can do whatever you want in Excel.

What's great is I can easily swap to an instance that is federating! Unidirectional federation sounds like a nightmare on the UX side, so if that's the case I imagine it'd be Threa…

As a Mastodon/Fediverse user, I hope the rumors that this is based on ActivityPub are true. I'd love for there to be an easy-to-use interface for everyone that brings more people a…

I use WinMerge[1] a lot, and it's always impressed me how it immediately opens to a useable state. So it's absolutely still possible to write Windows software that can open instant…

They both use Qualcomm chips. The smaller model uses a QCS2290, which appears to support GPS, so I suspect the larger model does as well. https://www.qualcomm.com/products/technolo…

Most hi-res audio is being sold as digital downloads. I don't think there's a currently-sold physical medium that contains digital data that's higher quality than a CD.

The iPod nano 7th generation uses the same file structure as other iPods, but appears to use a database checksum that hasn't been reverse engineered yet. Given that the 7th generat…

The makers of Tweetbot are making a Mastodon client! https://www.macrumors.com/2022/11/29/tapbots-ivory-mastodon-...

I love this idea! I do think the method of picking results needs a bit of tweaking. I tried the most basic case, charging a laptop with a C-to-C cable, and it suggested two Thunder…

Yup, basically that idea, but a bit higher spec (Linux-capable CPU instead of a microcontroller, larger and higher-resolution touchscreen). But it's definitely on the right track! …

No, something more akin to a smart display without a battery and a chassis that works well for being on a shelf or nightstand.

Everytime I'm reminded of the Chumby, I'm saddened that there isn't a modern version with an open development SDK. While Nest Hubs and Echo Shows are now available dirt cheap, they…

Additionally, I'd love to see the PR where this change was implemented. I've been trying to convince Zola, a static site generator written in Rust, to support older versions of GLI…

I was really hoping Microsoft would expand this feature. I currently use a Microsoft 365 Business account for my personal email, and it feels like using a chainsaw to open a letter…

Oooff, 266 KB is a hefty price to pay. I really wish WebSQL would have won out over IndexedDB, because I would have loved to have been able to build libraries on top of that instea…

I actually _really_ like these changes, but then again I was previously a VS Code user. I think JetBrains is specifically courting users who, like me, don't deal well with user int…

Honestly I think they'll eventually drop the `0.` and just call it React Native 80. I can't imagine them ever referring to it as "React Native 1.1".

Ah it's using crypto/ssh to provide the SSH server, so I think that's all the details I needed! Can't wait to give this a shot.

Could you share some details about the embedded SSH server? I'm curious if this would work to add SSH capabilities to devices that run Tailscale but don't include a built-in SSH se…

I believe that's Windows Sonic for Headphones.

It's the latter.

Hello, Tile owner here! I have a Tile on my house keys and my wallet, which are the two devices I misplace the most often. They've saved me countless times, primarily helping me fi…
