as it was the case in Baltic states since forever. Payments with CC came much later.

there is another differences between Apple monitors vs the rest. - standard and peak brightness[1]. All of them are less bright, than Apple's monitors. I'd really wanna know why. M…

I still read/post in small communities over NNTP and always wanted usenet client that is modern and easy to use on macOS/iOS, so here it is. 95% agentic (not vibed) coded, just bec…

would you mind sharing your library of HIGs?

my exact experience, and AI is especially fragile when you are starting new project from scratch. Right know I'm building NNTP client for macOS (with AppKit), because why not, and …

Also I'd add this question, why do so many developers and sysadmins think, that cloud companies always hire competent/non-lazy/non-pissed employees?

After every time I read "save effort with Electron", I go back to Win2K VM and poke around things and realize how faster everything is than M4 Max, just because value is value, and…

I do have an Apple ID, which was banned due to fraud and customer support couldn’t do anything about. The thing is, that account was just used for dev. things for the US company, w…

wouldn't it be faster/safer to upgrade to latest django/python rather than rewrite it in React/Go?

just a couple of days ago, I've moved my self hosted stuff from Cloudflare :)

given the current state of things, I'd take that slow boot over anything else ;)

Just got back from another flight, where my seat was in the middle of airplane (3 set of rows). No issues whatsoever. One thing I’ve noticed, if I press AirPods harder, I do start …

Personally, the left ear.

If I ask something in Lithuanian, EuroLLM will reply in Latvian lol. I have to specifically tell something like this: “do you known Lithuanian language”, then it starts replying in…

Lithuanian and Latvian are Baltic languages. Nothing to do with Slavic...

I keep hearing this since I've got my first Pentium 1 PC, that storage is cheap.

I've yet to understand the point of OLED, if it sits at 400nits. All Apple's devices from iPhone to Studio Display are brighter, some of them are much much brighter even with OLED …

it always depended on the hardware (being stable, security is another matter). I've got friends who ran Windows ME and it was rock solid. My experience was very very different, sam…

Same! I did notice, a couples of months ago, that same prompt in the morning failed and then, later that day, when starting from scratch with identical prompts, the results were mu…

Claude Code is down :( too lazy to do manual conversion from Cocoapods dependency to SwiftPM

I've vibe coded small project as well using Claude Code. It's about visitors registration at the company. Simple project, one form, a couple of checkboxes, everything is stored in …

I do have Windows 2000 installed with IIS (and some office stuff) in a ESXi for fun and nostalgia. It serves some static html pages within my local network. The host machine is som…

Same thing happened to my wife, while driving at about 110km/h…luckily no one was behind her.
