Bug in the latest firmware. Should be patched during the next recharge or OTA for the newer models.

Bleak is the word you’re looking for. The trajectory of the rental market in AU is beyond terrifying: https://www.rba.gov.au/publications/bulletin/2023/jun/new-in...

From prior experience, courteous interruption is a skill that a lot of humans find challenging at times too (myself included).

Similar. It’s a Merkle DAG. There’s an intro to IPFS content identifiers here: https://docs.ipfs.tech/concepts/content-addressing/ .

The modular synth referenced as the muse for this is pure art: https://www.nervoussquirrel.com/modular . Particularly love the uranium ore + Geiger counter random voltage generator…

It's still a valid form of data transport today. AWS will (literally) ship you a 45-foot container with 100PB of storage for shifting bits around: https://aws.amazon.com/snowmobile…

The aggregation of a sufficient number of small useful tools is a good point. I wouldn’t carry a voice only phone, or a text only messaging device, or a standalone GPS, music playe…

You can already do that with an iPad (sans fat OS). If you're using Blink Shell ( https://blink.sh ) the external display is independent of what's on the iPad too, which works real…

For those using the Apple Watch: would you recommend it? I was an early(ish) adopter of smart watches/wearables - think Pebble and LG G Watch era. I walked away from that experienc…

Another advocate of this approach here. Define some form of time-boxing: 90 minutes, 3 hours, 1 day, 1 week, whatever. When this is up force a capture of current state, knowledge, …

Absolutely - YCbCr 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 use different encodings across the lines to balance bandwidth. Complexity then continues to stack with deep colour pixel packing. There's a beaut…

That's only the case in the (relatively) shiny new 2.1 spec with FRL. Prior versions are TMDS with 3 channels for red, green, blue, along with a clock. The audio and InfraFrames sl…

That’s an amazingly beautiful build.

For this style or abuse mitigation I’m always surprised that HashCash [1] or similar simple, locally implemented proof of work mechanisms aren’t more common. This can be implemente…

Another host to consider with AU presence (both Sydney and Melbourne) is Vultr. Not associated, but have been using them for some personal infrastructure lately - it's a really nic…

A big caveat is #4 should read "be willing and able to take risks". If you're not living in country with a social safety net or have the resources to self-support failure, risk tak…

Obligatory demoscene links for anyone continuing down the rabbit hole: https://nanogems.demozoo.org/ , https://www.pouet.net/ .

Just wait until you hear about SSBN’s…

This form should be the default for any async comms. Expressing the core statement up front allows proceeding content to serve as an optional framing, if required. If the recipient…

This is great news, and somewhat unfortunate something so benign requires celebration. I used to ride a Zero SR. It was a phenomenal bike but also completely unserviceable in Austr…

Default is Apple’s infra, but you can choose via a config flag. You can also run your own: https://github.com/network-quality/server

Depending on the scale or your organisation (and budget): https://www.pexip.com/ is a pretty incredible platform.

If you’re interested in the journey, and happy to run on a simulator rather than hardware, https://www.nand2tetris.org/ is a decent ‘full stack’ experience. I know it’s a fairly po…
