For that they would need to market it as a rolling spyware

I have tested this and they are very capable, replacing the modern windows calc (38mb mem) with an identical app (ux, looks, features, accessibility, localization) ended up with an…

They kind do if you prompt them, I had mine reimplement the Windows calc (almost fully feature complete) in rust running with 2mb RAM instead of 40mb or whatever the win 11 version…

Last maintenance I did on my Volvo was to replace the battery which should be quick for a non-mechanic as myself. I spent more time building a make shift tool to detach/attach the …

You can schedule the takeout to Drive, then use a tool such as rclone (amazing tool) to pull it down. It should not add any costs except the storage for the takeout zip on drive. L…

Did a similar thing when we needed to do complex operations towards aws. Instead of wrapping the aws cli command I wrote small Go applications using the boto3 library. Removed the …

I agree that this is spot on. The last part missing is "build a flawed product and bake it into the contract so you charge high consultant costs to the customer to fix it" which is…

I would like to say thank you for posting this, I am currently building a similar toolkit in Lua and will most likely restart and just port your code instead :) It is extremely cle…

I am thinking of the more basic air/air units rather than this air/water. One well placed air/air can reduce the need for direct electricity heating a lot, even though some might b…

I do not understand why heat pumps are so expensive in the article. In Sweden the hardware cost around $1k - $2.5k and installation $500 - $1000. It's not a complicated task. Geoth…

Not sure if you are to do any super sensitive work on the tablet or not. But a home folder encryption rather than full disk might solve the touch input problem.

Daycares did not close during covid in Sweden. On the topic there are a category of preschools in Sweden called "Ur och skur" which have most education outdoors. Back in the 90s I …

The problem is most likely how do you know it's the ms source unmodified?

I had an idea for a similar project (1) a few years back, but abandoned it after reaching the state where I had a node module to attach an Electron window to the wallpaper in Windo…

Well, there are highs and lows when it comes to being known a century later. From my hometown I think there are two past living things that people are aware of a century later. Fir…

Public data is not always that nice. In Sweden most government data is public which includes individuals tax records. That generates things such as news articles "The 50 people in …

Roblox are doing steady incremental progress to their platform/engine. Epic released Unreal Engine for Fortnite about one month ago. Meta have some interesting stuff in their pipe.…

Kind of yes, but the scale of the amounts is a bit different. I quit my $60k CTO job and they paid me $140k to stick around as a contractor. Most $300k is CEO of a large company sa…

Self-hosted?

I can also strongly recommend Gandi. Used them to manage 40+ domains for my old company. Professional and good coverage of the TLDs. Nice is also that you can buy credits - that wa…

The site is a listing site, it's not like you click a buy button and then you all of a sudden own a project.

Following your logic they now have dozens/hundreds of projects risking $550 million fines. If I was Facebook I would become quite uneasy by that.

It can be - if you have client side code that you do not wish people to mess around with it's all about adding resistance to convince the person who attempts that it's not worth th…
