    If any amount of money was meaningless to apple, they wouldn't be where they are today.

    Don't forget that google also has mozilla by the balls and can turn firefox into a community project at any time.

    Yes, as far as I know you do. I don't know how they did it, but it even works when the phone isn't booted.

    Haven't implemented negative prompts yet, but from what I can tell it's as simple as substracting from the prompt in embedding space.

    I can highly recommend ACC (and the ACCA app [1] for setup). It lets me limit my phone to 90% charge with the ability to ignore the limit temporarily when I need to. That's very us…

    My Oneplus 5T got replaced because it has a small crack in the screen so it's impossible to disassemble without breaking the screen. I used ACC to only charge that to 90% so I coul…

    Teams will let you use chat and join meetings in firefox, but as soon as you try to make a call you'll get the "fuck you" popup.

    Sounds a lot like MS wants to have OpenAI but without a boards that considers pesky things like morals.

    I wouldn't interpret missing interactions on twitter as more than people not using twitter.

    I once bent the USB-C connector on a dell dock just because the cable is stiff and the bend from going below my desk put too much force on the connector. It still works, but has an…

    They used to use topre switches which many people swear by and combined it with a modern design. Compared to the gaming keyboards with MX blues and the ultra-cheap rubberdome board…

    Those boards are absolutely gorgeus. I'm not looking for a trackpoint or a standard layout, but I'm still tempted to buy one.

    This is why my next car is hopefully going to be my last one. I have my eyes on an ND Miata. Tried researching the privacy aspect and found one reddit comment from 69 days ago sayi…

    The tracking goes much deeper than that [1] and it isn't the only part of the ongoing overdigitalization of cars. Access to diagnostics and the ability to repair them yourself have…

    Because a car that does well on the highway is also equipped for higher speeds. You don't want an engine that redlines at highway speeds so it's geared down, but that means you hav…

    Early alexa devices also have power supplies that are rated at 5.2V, those could be an alternative. I also had a good experience with a 30W oneplus warp charger after some power is…

    I'm pretty sure schedulers are just black magic and anyone who doesn't work directly with them is unqualified to make statements like these.

    It's a numbers game. You can't convince everyone, but lobbyists are generally good at their job and know how to find people with malleable opinions. I don't think there's a topic w…

    > Cars are required to be online for an emergency call in case of accident. Does that mean online as in internet connection or just GSM?

    Ah yes, becoming a mechanic and building your own car is the solution. For the people who can do it it's great, but most just can't. I can barely change my tires, how would I swap …

    They sent out a warning to every single one of their users about this. It's that big of a deal. But unfortunately it's not as big a deal as microsoft's other fuckups.

    Desktop mode is KDE on X. In that case your comment is true, steam will just run on KDE. Game mode is a wayland session with gamescope as a WM, but it isn't controlled directly by …
