was! Even a plain - non NAS - HDD has increased 40%+ since 6 months ago

What is your experience from a performance perspective? Nova Launcher was pretty light on that front, I'm using smart launcher since a few months and it is ok but Nova was lighter.

Is this some kind of a joke? People, children, are getting bullied every day by fake nude images of them ending even in suicide and you are asking what is "so terrible" ???

EDIT: op seems to have clarified in another reply that they are talking about fully generated computer images but this is out of context, the outcry here is that Grok generated fake images of actual people to start with!

Isn’t this thread about the pebble round 2 which is the closest from form factor to a garmin ? Moreover, GPS is lacking on any pebble anyhow which is also a major use case and again therefore, garmin’s and pebble’s can’t be compared, 2 different use cases for me.

No HRM on the pebble which makes it a totally separate use case and can't be compared at all with the Garmin ones.

Personal anecdotes from my early mid teen years

1. Touching the circuit board on the back of the CRT tube by mistake trying to troubleshoot image issues, “fortunately” it was a “low” voltage as it was a B&W monitor….

2. Throwing a big big stone to an abandoned next to the trashcan CRT TV while I had it placed normally because it didn’t break when I threw it facing up and the next thing I remember after opening my eyes which I closed from the bang was my friends who were further down the road looking at me as it I were a ghost since big big chunks for the CRT glass flew just right next to me.

CRTs were dangerous in many aspects!

EDIT: I meant to reply to the other thread with the dangers of CRTs

A couple of years ago ARIN increased their fees considerably - way higher than fees paid to RIPE for way less resources - and had a call with their management to express my frustration, not because I was paying from my pocket but because of the high discrepancy of the what they wanted to get and the quantity/quality of their services. Now I can see that their backbone services haven't really improved while their income for sure has.

On a sidenote, what I appreciate in both RIPE and ARIN is that you can have at least a proper discussion when you have valid arguments with their support teams.

Curtains should also fall under the same category because they do make it more difficult for UK security and intelligence agencies to monitor suspect activities. Then of course you also have walls...

The argument is so fundamentally stupid that they should be embarrassed just putting it down in writing!

I learned British English starting in the 80s and using s whereas z was used in American English, together with tre instead of ter (eg. theatre), was a big difference. And I can tell you that MS Word back then was just not there so this sounds like an urban legend but let the British people in HN chime in.

> At some point, though, Enzor-DeMeo will have to tend to Mozilla’s own business. “I do think we need revenue diversification away from Google,” he says, “but I don’t necessarily believe we need revenue diversification away from the browser.”

So they want to monetize the browser somehow outside of the Google deal. Future does't look good for Firefox

The article is from 2022 and is good enough summary. Specifics for sure can vary in between but that is why you are more than able to do an individual search.

Is inflation included? Otherwise 5,5 billion in 2005 is >8billion in 2025.

nope, check the link I posted in another comment: https://onomondo.com/blog/2g-3g-sunset-2/#europe

please note that the list is not fully up to date, eg. in Germany Voda and Telekom have said that they will sunset 2G in summer 2028.

Depends on the country and provider but is sooner than later in Europe and I hate it that 2G is going away since all my old devices are not going to work again…

Immich is wonderful in docker setup passing the gpu for ML which works pretty good and the amazing new OCR feature does miracles, I’m able to find notes that I photographed for this purpose but then forgot, I’m able to find memories just by remembering the name of the place and searching for it and everything is running local!

Now thinking of this from the other side, 2 big DRAM producers are taking the risk to dedicate a very big part of their production to AI and if we assume they also have similar deals with other AI companies or big datacenters, what is their risk profile if the AI bubble bursts? Are they viable as companies then ? What is their plan B ?

A few things I've experienced:

- In many new cars the headlights do indeed appear as very bright. In the Xenon era the headlight height adjustment per occupancy was done automatically but at least in a few new cars I've been in with LED headlights this is not the case and the driver needs to adjust it by hand and I'm pretty sure the vast majority doesn't do that.

- Many new cars offer automated switching of high beam lights and the results vary to say the least.

- Small experience from UK highways gave me the same impression, the middle strip is not a solid one which is a huge issue when the lights from the other side blind you and I'm talking about normal headlights just because of road curvature or height difference of the opposing lanes while there are no overhead road lights.

I'm not talking about anything HD, basic mouse keyboard via BT and simple SBC for the headset. Never had any issues with that combination on Windows in the past before jumping on to Mac 6+ years ago. To add insult on top, I still remember many people telling me to "just do" a full system reinstall to see if it solves the issue.

try to connect more than 2 devices simultaneously on your mac and "enjoy" the sound you get then. I had this problem with either intel or m* mac and it seems from a search on the Internet that it is widespread to the point that is the normal. Nowadays I only use dongles for mouse+keyboard+headset to avoid such issues, at least the usb-c ones are quite bearable on size you just need to be careful how you put your laptop in the bag, which way up.

One can say that no DRM doesn’t bring issues but one can also say that there is a very polarized approach from the post author on what he believes he is entitled to depending on the situation they bring themselves to.

On top of that, what is the strategy from Apple on gaming? Advertise extra performance and features that you only get if you upgrade your whole device? This is non-sustainable to put it mildly. There are egpu enclosures with TB5, developing something like that for the Mac would make more sense if they really cared about gaming anyhow.

This gives me Apple Aladeen[1]vibes /s

Isn’t garmin connect IQ exactly that ?

Edit: damn autocorrect

It is quite different here as the OP stated headscale which is own hosted and I understand they use just the tailscale clients. That is mine setup too after using tailscale first and then wanted something own hosted without my traffic going through someone else's network infrastructure (internet excluded of course)

adb backup is gone

>It said that rules under the act affected the way it provided users access to apps. “Pornography apps are available on iPhone from other marketplaces – apps we’ve never allowed on the App Store because of the risks they create, especially for children,” it said.

Oh the children card! Too bad you do ship such an app with your device since forever, it's called a Browser!

A few months ago the discussion of cross platform support for passkeys based on keepass apps was raised, now finally we have this since KeepassDX landed in beta relevant support and it works great! Many thanks to Jeremy (the dev) for his work!

I can only comment that their communication on the incident is lacking, I've read about the incident yesterday and only today I received the relevant email. On top, it seems that all of a sudden I started getting marketing emails from them although I had unsubscribred in the past, coincidence?

I would assume that this is valid for most Android phone, in the backend using google systemwide to check for internet access and here we are...
