Nekobai··on France reaches 94.9% fiber coverage in 2026
No, you're totally right. I'm currently in Zone 4, maximum _theoretical_ speed is 67 Mbps.
Nekobai··on Why is it called Kent House?
Oh hello, neighbours!
Nekobai··on Samsung Upcycle Promise
Is this country-specific? I've owned plenty of OnePlus devices over the years and the have all being unlockable without any issues, or without having to ask anything from anyone.
Nekobai··on The Agentic AI Handbook: Production-Ready Patterns
Certainly, every tool is supposed to make our work easier or more productive, but that doesn't mean that every tool is intuitive or easy to learn to use effectively or even to use it at all.
Nekobai··on Just Use Curl
Honestly, I've never used Postman and I kinda want to start using it now just because of the tone the post has been written with.
Nekobai··on Sid Meier's Civilization VII
Interesting. I love 5 + Brave New World, I think it's my favourite Civ. I bought 6 on a sale (so it had been released for a while) and I found it awkward and clunky so I never really managed to get into it and went back to 5. Are you suggesting the game improved after that? In what way?
Nekobai··on I'm Done with Ubuntu
This happened nearly 13 years ago. It didn't last for very long: https://yro.slashdot.org/story/12/09/22/1319216/ubuntu-will-...
Nekobai··on Little File Explorer – File Manager for Android 1.0 and above
I love Cx File Explorer, I just wish it had a split screen view like Solid Explorer has.

On a phone it's fine, but on a tablet, being able to copy things between the two screens is a game changer.

I still prefer Cx because, for some reason, it's about 2.5x faster than Solid when copying files from an SMB volume.

Nekobai··on Obsidian 1.4.10 Desktop (Public)
In fact, 1.4.12 is already out: https://obsidian.md/changelog/2023-09-11-desktop-v1.4.12/
Nekobai··on You can deactivate anyone's WhatsApp account by simply sending an email
Indeed! And even worse, some services will happily accept "+" in email fields, but then some part of the service fails to encode the "+" sign correctly, so some features may be broken in unexpected ways.

Sometimes you can't even contact Customer Services because "your account doesn't exist" (because you cannot feed the correct email address to their customer service site).

Thankfully it's rare, but when it happens it's extremely infuriating.

Nekobai··on Show HN: File-by-file AI-generated comments for your codebase
Yep, the tool only seems to be accepting .zip files.

I managed to upload a file successfully by zipping a .js file. The file upload successfully, but then when I received the results a few minutes later, the zip file containing the results was empty.

Nekobai··on Joblint – Test tech job posts for issues
> The comments here don't feel that out of line that you need to be this defensive / thin skinned.

It's not the first time that this tool is discussed and, unfortunately, looking at the comments made in the past, I would definitely consider them out of line.

So I'm not surprised that the parent poster feels like that about this place.

Nekobai··on Show HN: A curated set of colour combinations
You can test individual colours using tools like https://webaim.org/resources/contrastchecker/

To check the colours on a page (and many other accessibility violations) you can use a bookmarklet like HTML Codesniffer ( https://squizlabs.github.io/HTML_CodeSniffer/ ), the tools that are integrated with Firefox and Chrome's devtools, or CLI tools like Axe or Pa11y.

Nekobai··on Isn't it time that Cyclists had Indicators like Cars
Could you add an example of a situation where you would see an indicator light on the bottom of the bike but you wouldn't see a whole arm?
