For this I used GCP free tier -- not sure why everyone acts like Oracle are the only free tier around when GCP and AWS offer always-free tiers too. It's just runing socat to forwar…

I've found [1] to be the best guide for getting started with them; you need to make a copy of the firmware partitions that you re-flash after installing Linux onto it in order to g…

VPS with public ipv4, connected to home network over Tailscale and forward the traffic with socat. You'd probably be fine opening a port directly but a small VPS is free most place…

You can generate the keys on-device during the initial provisioning and have it encrypt the flash with that key, so every device generates its own unique key and there isn't any pr…

How is this different in practice to the regular ESP32's secure boot, where you can technically flash the chip with whatever you like but unless you have the signing key the bootlo…

We don't know if he's gone to the cops, but more often than not the police will not be able to help you in these sorts of situations. The way that Kiwifarms target people is incred…

I suspect this is why OpenAI is going more in the direction of optimising for price / latency / whatever with 4o-mini and whatnot. Presumably they found out long before the rest of…

How so? Other than the security issues that get exploited by NSO group from time to time (that appear to be mitigated fairly well by lockdown mode if that's something that's import…

It's really impressive that a high school student [1] has managed to reverse engineer iMessage. What I'm wondering is: 1. How stable is it; would it be trivial for Apple to patch t…

I started out using a cheap MicroSD and it only lasted a week or two before failing; I've since replaced it with a 128 GB SATA SSD with a USB3-SATA dongle I bought off Amazon. No S…

It's worth bearing in mind that _all_ ports on the device are expansion cards, including the USB-C port that the device needs to actually charge. In any case I think WiFi is 'good …

Ah, TIL. Thanks for clearing that up!

Pancreatic cancer actually has one of the worst survival rates; in the UK around 25% of people diagnosed survive past a year, with 5% living more than five years after diagnosis [0…

This just solved a problem I have that I never knew there was a solution for! It seems really weird to me that every OS doesn't have a native solution for changing external monitor…

I've easily saved a couple of minutes each day by not having to search some API docs, since Copilot already knows how my variables should fit into the function call. Even if it's j…

I've found copilot invaluable for throwing together quick scripts, especially in languages I don't quite understand. Writing e.g. a bash script, and being able to add a comment say…

Looking at Ableton 11's feature set it seems they're running out of ideas; CLAP support would definitely be the kinda thing that could compel people to upgrade to a future version.…

Agreed. If I ran a SaaS startup with a team of three and $1m ARR I'd feel pretty confident that things are gonna be alright for me.

Roughly how much higher is the dose required for this level of detail than that which is considered safe for humans?

I was interested in this workflow, would be a big motivation to get an iPad pro when the time comes to get a compatible MacBook too. Are there any limitations you've found especial…

I'd disagree with that one, with Lightning the pins are in the connector. I've broken my iPhone before trying to get lint out of the charging port and bending the pins by accident.…
