    FFMpeg 8.0 came out August 22nd, 2025 8.1 came out 4 months ago on March 16th, 2026 Maybe you're thinking of VLC which has been stuck with a stable v3 release for almost a decade w…

    You essentially see the desktop version zoomed out by default with tiny text. You need to zoom in, but the line length is still desktop sized so you need to scroll left and right a…

    I think the idea is that it gives a bit of time for the companies which run automated scans of new versions to run through and detect any issues with new versions before users inst…

    Why does it need millions of users to be useful to the individuals which use it? It's not a social media site, so I don't care how many other users they have as long as it's a sust…

    As someone who lives on a residential street right by a primary school in the UK, the majority of drivers are going over 20mph even at the peak time when there are children everywh…

    This is great and similar to what I was thinking of doing at some point. I just wasn't sure if it needed to be specific to Sweep Local or if it could be a generic llama.cpp provide…

    If you lease a car the owner of the vehicle isn't the driver, but the lease company itself. Tesla was contacted to provide the drivers name (as is their legal obligation) and when …

    Would this be able to support TCP and UDP in the future?

    Yes, negative is rare, but I wouldn't say that it's overwhelmingly expensive. The median range is 15p-20p (60% of the time in December) and the UK "price cap" is about 26.35p. With…

    Related: Very interesting article about Monzo's "stand-in" system which allows the app to be run with minimal services running in a different cloud in the event of a full outage of…

    I prefer the pricing model of TablePlus[0]. $99 for the current version forever with 1 year of updates. Once that expires you can keep using the last version you had access to fore…

    Pretty much every electric car has charging stops built-in to the navigation. For some the quality of the data isn’t as high, but it will be there. Many like Polestars and Renaults…

    Such an easily debunkable line with even the tiniest bit of critical thinking. You’re basically saying the drug companies subsidise a loss in Europe by over charging Americans, rig…

    Thank you for the confirmation. I have updated to 4.13.0 anyway.

    Your status page isn't clear, but are all versions between the compromised and "safe to install" versions compromised or just the ones listed? For example I installed `posthog-reac…

    The iPhone hasn’t had a “real” home button since the iPhone 7 in 2016. It’s a static touch pad with haptic feedback.

    For homelabs, yer you can get something much better for much less. For use cases where consistency and future support is key (education and industry) you really can't beat a Raspbe…

    All makes sense. I presumed it was an oversight. It’s hard for me to conceptualise what a million tokens actually looks like, but I don’t think there’s a way around that aside from…

    I completely get why this pricing is needed and it seems fair. There’s a major flaw in the announcement though. I get that the pro plan has $5 of tokens and the pricing page says t…

    No. It's implemented in native code (Zig) inside bun itself and just exposed to developers as a JavaScript API. Source code: https://github.com/oven-sh/bun/tree/6ebad50543bf2c4107d…
