It depends if people care about it or not. I never once thought about accessibility in my non-AI authored app. I tried using the screen reader accessibility option and it was unusa…

Wow, odd. I haven't even set foot in Canada in 4.5 years and still have all the blocked features!

I am using OpenCode with the DeepSeek API with some pretty good results.

I have the complete opposite experience. Originally had a Canadian bought iPhone in Spain, had all the features a Canadian has and a European doesn’t (or vice versa). Upgraded to a…

> But does this act like a debit account? Yeah, it's a debit account. I'm in Spain and use Bizum frequently. It's just a "pay from your bank account" system. You mostly type in you…

I saw a video from the UK government with a guy walking down the aisle of a Lidl talking about it! I quickly went to Lidl.es to look as these 800w balcony solar setups are legal he…

The micro inverter (most of these balcony kits use micro inverters) uses the grid as the reference. Most of these inverters will actually do nothing when the grid goes down. Like, …

I’m going to buck the trend and say it’s really not that complex. AFAIK they are using Ink, which is React with a TUI renderer. Cue I could build it in a weekend vibes , I built my…

I have the Polymarket app installed because it's a React Native app and I installed a bunch of the top apps using RN as research. About a week ago I got a notification that "Polyma…

Does it work in dark mode? I guess if it does it would have to make the background apps brighter?

This is correct more or less. The Ikea hub has had the ability to bridge its zigbee devices to Matter for a while now. So in my case, Apple Home has no idea my lights and switches …

Yes and no. Zigbee is both the transport and the protocol, whereas Matter is a protocol but can run over different transports. Most common in Thread or WiFi, but it could be over e…

This seems to be a Python based Jupiter notebook (style?) thing for collaboratively working with GIS data/visualizations. OpenStreetMap is a project to "map the world". In the end,…

Jeep is horrible. I was gifted a 2007 Jeep Commander, which was Jeep's "answer" to the Hummer. This was in like 2017, so it was 10 years old at that point. Anyways, it wouldn't shi…

You can, but the issue is usability..when I'm watching TV, I want to just be able to flip open an app and say "I'm in London!" and watch BBC, then the same for Canada and etc. I do…

I am surprised to see three react native focused companies on the list. Expo, Software Mansion and Callstack are by far the big dogs in the RN ecosystem.

I only ever use a VPN to access region blocked content and the occasional "linux iso" torrent..I tried Mullvad first, but they just don't play the game of cat and mouse with the st…

That's a lot. I always had this idea in the back of my mind that British Columbia should get in on the AI game and try and get data centers located in BC because we generally have …

What keeps me and a lot of people/companies on React is React Native (and React Native web / strict dom). I'm sure we could move over to Svelt or Vue or any other number of framewo…

Especially since the $142 price doesn't even include the memory chips! The YouTuber had access to defective donor cards to pull memory modules from, so they hand wave that into bei…

In the end it's the same thing, but in many countries where iPhones are popular, it's more of the "anti status symbol" effect happening. An iPhone is not a status symbol anymore pe…

This would be the way to go if on the flip side any part that was not iCloud locked could be paired without hassles. Phone stolen/lost/etc? Parts unusable. Phone iCloud unlocked? P…

React native support for SPM is non-existent for the most part. There's some work on porting to SPM but it's gonna be a while before anything becomes stable. It's going to break a …

Room temperature super conductors would be huge for the EV charging space. One big thing holding back EV transport trucks is charging capacity. The infrastructure to support chargi…
