I wish the graph was sorted by release date.

> Google also can’t: > Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first That's exactly what Epic did trying to make their store happen. T…

Just because Apple promises? There is actually zero evidence that apple is any better for privacy. Your absolute best option is something like a raspberry pi with an open source OS…

Just don't connect it to your network and you're probably fine. Use a smart box for streaming services.

Sure, it's practical, that's why most people don't have a separate smart box. That's why I called it a curse, because most people are being nagged with ads and being tracked on a l…

With smart boxes you have much more options. I'm thinking a stipped down android TV box doesn't make screenshots and track you like most smart TVs do, they also don't serve random …

Smart TVs are a curse (from a consumer perspective). A separate smart device makes much more sense. People usually replaced their TVs when they broke, which could be 6-8+ years. No…

I wouldn't consider that an alternative to a solar radio watch.

Yes, on all my keyboards. No double presses so far. On the keyboard I use for gaming, I actually use 1000Hz polling just to get that sweet placebo effect.

The default debounce algorithm in QMK also introduces a minimum of 5ms delay, and the default usb polling rate another 10ms. To mitigate the debounce algorithm delay, you can put "…

Little bit off topic, sorry. Windows 10 support ending in 2025 is really scary. Literally billions of computers are not eligible to install Windows 11 because of artificial limitat…

Of course, these CO2 levels are smaller by at least one order of magnitude than what could cause suffocation. I overdramatized the fact that the air quality was really, really bad.…

I got a DIY basic kit, and was pretty surprised when I saw that after 8 hours of sleep the CO2 level was 3600 ppm in the bedroom. My wife still jokes about the way I woke her up. I…

I hear you, that's the #1 issue people have with ueli. Even though it's electron based, I feel like at least it's properly made performance wise. Bringing it up and the listing is …

I went like this: Launchy -> KeyPirinha -> PowerToys (got too slow) -> UELI It works really well for me, I've been using it for two years now. https://github.com/oliverschwendener/…

I was really surprised how futuristic the shopping experience in Decathlon is. Every item has a unique rfid (or something) tag, and all you have to do is put them in a box at check…

When the company I work for was buying a brand new swiss grinding machine (which enables the manufacturing of some extremely precise parts), I had to fill and sign a very strange s…

I stopped using windows search a while ago. It is unreasonably slow. Everything (the app) indexes every file on all of your drives in seconds, then filters the list instantly as yo…

I think you highly underestimate the compatibility problems it would cause. You'd have to replace the global networking infrastructure. Starting from every wall plug to the switche…

I don't disagree with your point, but for the longest time I took deathbed wisdom as some ultimate truth. However, one time it occured to me that maybe a dying person's regrets are…

I can highly relate to this. There's also the tax of having too many tasks in queue. Maybe that's just me, but if I have to get done 10 different things in the next couple of weeks…

I had this realization in the last couple of weeks slowly, starting from a discussion about who thinks in which language in my friend group. I've tried to convince them how thought…

> Haven’t figured out PC audio to my receiver though. I’ve basically given up. While most motherboards do not have s/pdif connectors, most of them has pins on the board itself. Che…

I'm using a 2.1 system so this shouldn't affect me, but sadly it does. Lately, even very expensive TV's lack DTS codecs, so playing movies from a DLNA server is not viable anymore,…
