Given the similarities in port layout (just missing a HDMI and USB3 header), and that the case is nearly identical, I would guess that this router probably is a custom run of the e…

Might be a difference in use cases. Mostly working in repos under 100k LOC, most of those are under 30k. Primarily golang, python, and terraform. Also a lot of interactive troubles…

I use both. I avoided codex in late 2025 because it was slow as molasses. I tried it again in February and it was on par with Opus speed. I like codex(gpt-5.4 high) more for its ab…

I'm looking at a new car later this year. The limited options for V2H are disappointing.

This predates AI. I've been interviewing candidates(SRE/DevOps) since 2018, so many candidates that claim to have extensive experience with things completely fall apart when you pu…

No, it happens even with AirPods Pro/Pro2. I have two iPhones and a MBP. I have to keep Bluetooth disabled on the MacBook otherwise it randomly triggers while I'm between podcasts …

There is a weak association with use of PPIs and memory loss. I myself noticed a difference once I stopped taking omeprazole regularly.

ubnt has been the ubiquiti default login at least back to 2010 when I started using their products, before UniFi was a brand. I always assumed it was short for Ubiquiti Networks.

I had a bash spaghetti code script that I wrote a few years ago to handle TLS certificates(generate CSRs, bundle up trust chains, match keys to certs, etc). It was fragile, slow, e…

It seems to me like it would be a rather useful exercise to have the smaller model make the routing decision, and below certain confidence thresholds, it sends it to a larger model…

I really would like to see a cost and cooling breakdown. I just can't see how you can do radiative cooling on the scales required, not to mention hardening. I thought this was a tr…

I'm surprised we have not seen more investment into RISC-V from Chinese firms. I would think they want to decouple from ARM and the west in general as a dependency. Maybe they view…

One of my consulting customers has been half India, half not for a decade. There is a real push over the last year to wind down the not India half and shift to mostly India. India …

I use ACME with Google Public CA for this reason. No one bats an eye at GPCA. Also, their limits are dramatically higher than LE. Good news for your manual renewal friends, renewal…

Strange to see this device here. I have one and use it extensively, but this isn't even the current generation. It does work well as a travel router, and can pull north of 400Mbps …

ATMs all over are like this. Very annoying. I have to decline conversation all the time. The ATM conversation rate is usually 15-25% markup. No thanks, my bank charges nothing, jus…

If you had ever purchased a RyanAir ticket you would understand. You get up charged for everything and have to deselect all the up charges at multiple screens. It is their operatin…

This is my exact setup. Maybe I don't have many issues because I literally only have the NS2/PS5Pro turn on the TV/change input. I still use the AppleTV remote to adjust volume no …

F500, we have a pretty custom ServiceNow, but all I do is put the ticket or any other identifier in the search box and go. Takes 2 seconds to be in the ticket. Granted, that interf…

Yes. With Windows 3.x there wasn’t a lot to go wrong that couldn’t be fixed in a single ini file. Windows 95 through ME was a complete shitshow where many many things could go wron…

Hundreds, maybe even thousands. I jest, but probably the $150 sales of the TouchID keyboard would tank as they are displaced by such a device.

Doesn't trigger keyboard popup on my iPhone in Safari. :(

Nice. I was hoping a vdev for the dedup table would come along. I've wanted to use optane for the dedup table and see how it performs.

That's only for ZFS deduplication which you should never enable unless you have very, very specific use cases. For normal use, 2GB of RAM for that setup would be fine. But more RAM…

If you can't tolerate macOS, you can get a used M1/M2 which will run Linux really well. That's a challenge this machine has, it has to compete with things like a used 64GB M1 Max M…
