> Yes, make the battery 2x bigger and include the compute in that. You can't move the compute away in a headset. I have worked for an XR OEM, and when you are designing a headset, …

Yes, I stopped reading here: > $12 on the front. Whole-network compromise on the back. Too bad since the topic on its own seems very interesting.

Mine is from 2013. There is no longer map updates for the built in nav system. So I bought an Android auto / Car play module that integrates with the car touch screen. Now I have u…

Like the author, we self-host our git repos at work with Gitea, and it's working very well and brings a rather large set of features you'd expect from a GH alternative. A great thi…

A few years ago, I started again to attend regularly to concerts, and often in small / mid size local rooms, with an audience from perhaps 50 to a few hundred people. Those are muc…

When I studied compiler theory, a large part of the compilation involved a lexical analyser (e.g. `flex`) and a syntax analyser (e.g. `bison`), that would produce an internal repre…

That is also my feeling, at least from a part of the GrapheneOS community. I have seen them despising and bullying /e/OS, Debian, F-Droid, the Linux kernel... Too bad for this proj…

It seems that Twake is the result of Cozy Cloud joining Linagora: https://blog.cozy.io/en/from-7-july-your-cozy-cloud-begins-i...

If only UX/UI people spent their time optimizing their code rather than polishing their animations. Sorry for this rant, but hell, the web, the apps, everything is so sloooow and b…

Not really, despite the repo being named MentraOS, this repo seems to include only some mobile apps (that either run on a phone or on the glasses), some server code, and some SDKs.…

This made me think about the bagnole, which seems to target the same kind of market: https://kilow.com/en/pages/la-bagnole

I found this Raspberry Pi Zero based bike computer project: https://github.com/hishizuka/pizero_bikecomputer This seems pretty nice in terms of features, but would probably need a …

I can also recommend git flight rules: https://github.com/k88hudson/git-flight-rules It saved my work a couple of times.

Right, most probably closed-source just like Android wear. Even manufacturers may not have access to the source code, they would just put their stuff in the vendor partition. A goo…

What about several thousand engineers for Twitter then? =) Regarding WhatsApp, I would say that 35 engineers is OK. Not so much, but not so few also.

I would argue that EVs are just the tip of the iceberg. >The race is on to decarbonize road transport and get drivers to switch to electric vehicles (EVs). Actually the race is on …

As a Genymobile employee, I'm happy to see this on HN! We use scrcpy internally also, it's really handy sometimes when we need to debug display issues with our Android emulator (Ge…

In the 00s, my dad had an issue with the infotainment system of its Peugeot 407 that would no longer boot. An official Peugeot mechanic told him that it would cost something like 4…

Or maybe it is to disambiguate "vert chaud" (hot green) and "verre chaud" (hot glass) that are pronounced the same way. =)

They should have called it "LiberPi"! :)

My kids have the Cars movie version of the Mille bornes. In my mind, the Cars design ruins the whole game, it's no longer special to me. Plus it's really hard to tell the card type…

It's just that Android might be too much "heavy" for the actual hardware. I don't have any details, sorry. That's what I heard when I was working there.
