Couple of years ago I worked as a full stack web dev for a electronics distributor. At that time we had a couple of DB problems, it would get overwhelmed, shit itself and our page …

Isn’t it (ChatControl) also „marketed” as „safe and secure”? If they (politicians) don’t have their comms backdoored and still get their data stolen, then why would I trust them to…

Same here. I recently started thinking about upgrading my Synology NAS to something newer they offered. When I read about the hard drive restrictions I thought no-one would be _tha…

When I read what you wrote I immediately thought of "(...) HAL was told to lie... by people who find it easy to lie. HAL doesn't know how, so he couldn't function. He became parano…

Great point. I think that Blindsight by Peter Watts explores the concept of alien intelligence without consciousness.

However true that might be, I’d rather try to avoid wrestling with software for my data. If that’s really the case then even if it’s free I’m pretty sure you’re not getting your mo…

Yeah, I've never found XML to be easy to edit/bulk edit/edit by hand. I suppose there are tools that would allow me to do that but since I would use them sporadically, I'd need to …

Exactly. I can try out stupid stuff, but because it's all text files and no magic, reverting back is as easy as it gets.

I tried it years ago but finally settled on HLedger. Like GnuCash, I own and control my data, but with HLedger I have an ability to go in and correct or change something (and not i…

Onyx makes a HDMI "25 eInk display [0]. It's pricey. [0] https://onyxboox.com/boox_mirapro edit: "25, not "27

This looks awesome. I’ve been wondering if it would be practical/feasible to create something similar but portable, self-contained for quieter, „local” sounds, like for instance lo…

I'm using "Easy Move+Resize". Works great.

Had the same feeling. This had all the hallmarks of vaporware for me - something was introduced in a TED talk (that's a personal turn off). No clear definition or description. Then…

Hey, those evaluations won't evaluate themselves you know! That's important work!

Oh...

Does anyone know what charting library they're using?

> Just because it can’t scale, doesn’t mean it isn’t wrong. That. I'm so tired of this excuse being used which basically amounts to complaining that you wouldn't been able to get s…

Same here. I'm really surprised that after Pebble's implosion nothing appeared to fill the void. I could've bet real money that within a couple of years we're going to see at least…

If you buy your phone from a carrier. If you buy directly from a vendor I don't see how they (carriers) would be able to inject it. Radio firmware however is, as I understand it, a…

Did you mean Mgła?

Ha! I asked Bard a couple of nights ago about some TV series (circa 2021) trivia - "does xxx die in season xxx of show xxx?". The answer looked suspicious so I clicked "view altern…

That always astounds me - someone expecting me to pay them for something right after I was lied to by them (the ad). Who do those ads target?

> it depends on the threat model. If you're Finland Yes, I agree, in cases like this, sure. In general however I think that compulsory training is more wasteful than usual. > Of co…

I've always thought of those compulsory military training schemes as a little silly. You have a bunch of unmotivated people that don't want to be there. You have to house them, fee…
