The original CTO, Martin Sandsmark, was a heavy Linux user and made some incredibly based choices for remarkable. If you look in the right places on the internet there are some rea…

"Oops, you are right. I shut down the spacecraft, and now it will never boot again. Here's how it happened:"

There have been critical articles about the lice problem in Norwegian newspapers for years, so it's honestly relieving to finally see it talked about abroad. I've felt shameful whe…

I'm generally very critical of the idea that people are relying on ai, but the thing I didn't realize in the past and that I see many like me haven't is that the literacy of an ave…

It means you aren't entitled to visit a foreign country. You aren't entitled to them letting you in. Of course in a perfect world we all trust each other and have open borders, but…

Visiting another country is a privilege, not a right.

aw, they didn't reset weekly usage for this. oh well

This is super cool technology, but will be abused to death

Recently there seems to be an uptick in North-Korean attacks against developers. In addition to this type of attack, which has been going on for years, I recently get ~1 email a we…

Settlement would mean it doesn't become legal precedence, right? This outcome seems to be the best possible for Anthropic. Over 100B$ have been invested in AI so far, venture capit…

Recently there's a few articles critiquing the Norwegian system, arguing that we are going towards the "American model" as described by this article. The second kids are scored, th…

I'm just happy we get to reap the rewards "for free" (i.e open models are slowly becoming usable, and the winner of the arms race will definitely stand on the shoulders of their co…

This is what I feel about the Withings ScanWatch 2. It's an "analog watch" that can also do fitness tracking and show notifications if I want. I owned a pixel watch 1. It was too m…

I've heard a lot of negative talk about Californian politicians, but compared to how the discussion is going on in Norway about the same issue, this is great. It's very refreshing …

Most people I talk to who use starlink in an urban setting are not in such a situation, they are just using it because "satelite internet cool"

I remember 10-15 years ago The Gathering, Norways biggest LAN party, had a wifi sponsor, and there were talks about how soon we don't even need wired internet, because wifi is gett…

You are right about drones, but Starlink etc is still used a lot by forward deployments of troops. Afaik it has revolutionised the ability to contact these deployments. But I'm not…

Starlink has its uses, but I really don't understand those who get starlink while living in built-up areas. Starlink is just a re-skin of the "Wireless optic" thing a lot of ISPs a…

I think that's a very weird and dishonest take. To me, it reads as written by reflex rather than in good faith. You can point out that something isn't a good look and not be a pear…

As a side note, having "Weed Smoke Willie" be a featured game on the front page isn't really a good look. As the saying goes "birds of a feather flock together", and I think a lot …

If we want to solve that we need to stop enabling career politicians whose only life experience is debating

Is it radical to (through regulation) force part of the sales figure to go towards a trust that pays for CDN hosting+some simple server for authenticating ownership in the case of …

If they are getting regulated to death they may as well bring the rest of the industry down with them, probably

Frankly, considering this is a laptop, I wish they spent more effort on delivering a flush 1gbe module rather than a 10gbe module. It has become an elephant in the room every time …

Oh yeah. Strategic disruption technique or not its a breath of fresh air.
