I've been enjoying his videos for years atp, does really cool stuff, and has the same fascination with flight as I do.

I remember Flowise app being well-intended but bad. I evaluated the self-hosted version to be used as a component in an internal tool so non-technical people can tweak their prompt…

Would I sell you something if there was a 1 in 100 chance that I have to steal it back from you sometime in the future? Nope. Would I at least refund you for stealing back that thi…

there are obviously measures in place to ensure the added noise is statistically homogeneous. the changes don't affect the final aggregates significantly, just enough to avoid sayi…

Couldn’t you do this by turning off Siri and Apple Intelligence, two global toggles?

I really enjoyed this comment! The right intersection of everything to fire reward receptors in my brain lol. Edit: "fire reward receptors in my brain" is probably nonsense scienti…

Any (sealed) container designed to hold hot things should have a pressure release system. It can be seals that buckle before the lid. It can be a tiny hole with a soft rubber stopp…

at the same time, I've never had any faith in that software. maybe because of it's association with really cheap, buggy hosts i explored in my teenage years. maybe because of their…

Exactly. Any security person absolutely KNOWS that the distros are still going to be vulnerable. They're exploiting this process loophole to knowingly cause chaos and gain notoriet…

If the return policy explicitly allows "change of mind", I'd say it's in the gray area. Though ofc it isn't sustainable if everyone starts doing this. I assume there's a ((returns:…

No practical way I should say. Realistically, it's pretty clear that lawmakers really just want to shove it through in the simplest way possible. Which is probably private third pa…

Private companies now can link all your online activities to you. Not an advertisement ID, but directly to you and your loans and your health data and whatever they're selling in t…

That's true. But leaking an age threshold is not the same as private companies being able to link all your online activities to a single legal person.

Read every alternative volunteered here. Imagine any world where in the next 5 years they can't be enshittified, sold to a predatory private equity, their support lines AI-ified, t…

500mg from a capsule and 500 from cough syrup 4 times a day is still fine. With a 100% safety margin still. If you’re taking more meds than that without clinical supervision Id say…

At this point not assuming malice is probably naïveté, but I respect your optimism

There is no other technology to do age verification at scale. Apple, Google and such will contract out this age verification to a third-party which will ask you to upload your ID a…

I agree. App store is really horrible. Why is it that when I'm searching for a first party or a very very popular, the first result and many of the other results are weird scammy m…

LOL at the risk of sounding like a shill, I think Apple was right on time with these features. They added it after on-device CPU/neural engine was finally powerful and efficient en…

That's the thing: you don't! The charset for passwords should be always inputable even if no one is using it. If you wanted to reduce the size of the charset, you'd basically creat…

I am 100% sure that Steve Jobs could have shipped a broken Czech keyboard if that was in pursuit of some random abstract like purity or minimalism. "iOS keyboard has too many keys.…

I just have a cheap second hand PC with a couple of good drives running LAN only Immich and a few other backup tools. This, in parallel to cloud backup, makes the setup both mobile…

There is a list of valid characters accepted for a passcode. That list was created, the characters debated, and a consensus reached by Apple engineers (I hope, for all our sakes. I…

He famously shipped the original Macintosh with a keyboard without arrow keys to force buyers to use the mouse. His vision of perfection didn't always match common sense. There are…

Ok that's fair ig. I used to be a fairly heavy user of the middle click scroll feature on windows like a decade ago. Made the switch to Debian w/ Awesome, and that habit just casua…
