The thing everyone needs to ask before advocating for laissez faire is "what does a hostile and monopolistic search engine giant like Google gain from us doing nothing?" And then r…

I quit caffeine for a year but it didn't work out for me. I felt mentally sluggish all the time; there would be times I'd be staring at my screen with my mind resisting the act of …

Luckily it's very easy to change, although a bit unintuitive for new users. You right-click the small icon for each type of panel in the bottom bar, and select where you want it to…

Did you use dioxus? I had claude write up a test web app with it, but when attempting to use a javascript component it built it couldn't get past memory access out of bound errors.…

Ocrbase is CUDA only while dots.ocr uses vLLM, so should support ROCm/AMD cards?

1Password family plan, and I assume similar cloud password managers, let you organize passwords/TOTP/Passkeys into vaults, and you can put credentials you want to share with other …

I remember a college English class where a good part of the lecture was on this sentence from Big Two-Hearted River: "He liked to open cans." Forget the details but it got into the…

This thing is meant for a living room media center. A prebuilt PC with discrete GPU is a much bigger profile (and probably cost). You could say, fine, go buy a small Mini PC. But a…

One big differentiator is JMAP allows one network connection to track new emails that may get delivered across different folders. With IMAP you need a connection open for each fold…

Down detector agrees: https://downdetector.com/status/amazon/ Amazon says service is now just "degraded" and recovering, but searching for products on Amazon.com still does not wor…

Anyone know how big the bay area map is? Would be neat to build dream BART, including north bay and San Joaquin valley. EDIT: Nevermind, purchased and answered my own question. Out…

Access's database is fairly limited and prone to corruption, especially using in a (local) network setup. The better solution would be to have real backend database and use ODBC to…

Microsoft wants laptops/PCs to mimic a phone and remain always connected to the internet and processing real-time emails/VOIP calls. It's all explained here: https://learn.microsof…

Not just laptops but affects computers too. I have a brand-new Mini PC with Windows 11 and when you turn it "off" it continues to pull 6-10 watts. Not a lot but still over a year i…

Is this always the case? I prefer what Windows 11 has done with settings being a simple two panel window with categories on left and scrollable settings on the right, with a search…

This is the Ford Transit Connect. They're known as mini cargo vans and popular with trades and for city driving because they're slightly smaller than a mini van. The equivalent to …

I wonder if that's why Ford, Ram, and Nissan all at the same time decide to discontinue their mini cargo vans a year ago.

Here's the letter: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1ocNyx34Et19sKtlta0bTPPzSPcp... No claims, no evidence. No sources, except "it has come to my attention" and "information receive…

Stalwart is unique I think. The whole thing was built by essentially one developer in rust, and it's quite amazing how he has done it in just a few years. He's expressed interest i…

They are using stalwart, another open source product, for the backend stack. So you should be able to host your own server instance with custom domain when it gets built out. Stalw…
