There are some horrific looking UI on the screenshots, e.g. Acorns floating toolbar with integrated traffic lights - it looks awful and with a bevel emboss - remember that? Yes, the ugly Photoshop effect option that only looked cool in the early 2000s. Some of this looks very cheap and amateur Photoshop like.

It''s not terrible, but I will avoid it for a while. My biggest issue is the system resources this will require. I just don't care for the pretty, as much as I care for fast UI. Thinks Windows 11 delayed right click context menu.

Unifying their operating system design language makes sense, but ugh do we really need yearly operating system revisions like this. It is obvious that the engineers struggle with the marketing led pace judging by how many issues there are every major release of macOS. I don't upgrade to a new major until a .3 usually because of this.

The sets are beautiful, but in this season some of the lens choices have resulted in so much CA/distortion outside the focus that you miss out on seeing them properly - to point of frustration. Possibly not noticeable at HD, but glaring in 4K.

PowerShell, surprisingly, is very good at this and is now cross platform

I wonder if there's a vagal nerve effect from the increased chest pressure while holding your breath in.

I do the 'double sharp inhale' method for the anxiolytic effect occasionally - not really something you can do at the office however.

Google AI rackmount appliance coming soon?

Recall was enabled by default for me on a fresh windows 11 pro installation back in October.

A couple of months ago I opened the Clock app in an important meeting, to run a timer, and had to wait 10 minutes for it to update itself. For real. Same thing happened when I opened sound recorder.

It's probably not going to get better at this point. It's only going to have increasing amounts of online services integrated into the OS. The writing was on the wall when Windows 10 Enterprise shipped with Candy Crush

Product/UI looks good. Nice job. I would pay for a completely offline version of this, cloud voice data is non-starter for me though unfortunately

I agree the keming is off in places, like the alternates.

I found around 6-15% performance improvement in build times after implementing DevDrive (mounted VHD) on Windows machines, which uses ReFS. Deleting huge folders was also perceivably faster.

For a while I switched to mee6 pro's with some squishy foam cushions, they were around £30 and had a surprisingly flat response. Of course, that will sound bad to a typical listener until you realize the v curve you are used to has been hiding details in the midrange

--- Do you want to enable Dictation? When you dictate text, information like your voice input and contact names are sent to Apple to help your Mac recognise what you’re saying.

[Enable] Dictation Privacy (a policy) [Cancel] ---

The modal I have says exactly this:

--- Do you want to enable Dictation? When you dictate text, information like your voice input and contact names are sent to Apple to help your Mac recognise what you’re saying.

[Enable] Dictation Privacy (a policy) [Cancel] ---

I think it is entirely fair to put Apple in this category, because they have effectively disabled offline dictation for me except if I agree to sent my voice data to Apple. I have used this offline dictation feature for years by the way

Exactly, so even if it does work offline, I cannot use it without agreeing to send voice data to Apple.

I do, but it's nowhere near as convenient as double tapping Fn anywhere there is editable text and speaking. It also requires much more system resources.

What interface do you use for using local whisper?

For you. I am not getting the experience you describe which sounds similar to how I was expecting this to work as it did previously in Sonoma on an Intel machine.

The options are different for me in the settings app, and using dictation is for me right now, impossible without agreeing to a modal displaying an agreement to send audio data to Apple.

I've noticed since getting a new mac, that on-device dictation is no longer possible, a modal pops up forcing you to hit agree in order to get dictation. Never clicking that.

The direction of major operating systems neutering themselves in favour of deep service integration does not fill one with hope

The MacBook air 11" in 2012 was my favorite laptop by far. Maxed out with an i7 and 8GB RAM it handled everything I needed to including multiple InteliJ projects. The resolution today seems obscenely low, but it was completely usable and the compactness was of great utility, practical for use while traveling.

I've bought tablets multiple times thinking it could replace it, it just isn't the same. It's a real shame that particular form factor has been lost, as we could probably easily have an m4 air in that size. I'd buy one in a heart beat now that Apple has remembered how to make good keyboards again.

Even though it was tiny,

This is relevant for running .NET 4.x apps on Linux or Mac. .NET 5+ is dotnet core, so mono is still relevant here.

Coolify will be great, 6 months ago however I experienced so many bugs around docker deployments I just couldn't trust it for production. Hopefully the new hires will make continued progress because there are some pretty great workflows possible. Already though, it is extremely cool to run your own platform

I moved my profile folder into Librewolf, done. The only thing that's bugging me is the 'LibreWolf: Always store cookies/data for this site' option on the navbar padlock dropdown, it only appears for me in private windows, regardless of my 'Delete cookies site/data...' option.

It's annoying because I contributed UX to this librewolf feature a few years ago (because I really wanted it), its finally landed but I can't use it - it was the blocker to adopting the more strict privsec model that librewolf offers by default (it solves the 'cookie exceptions are a pain to manage' problem. Obviously something to do with my kitchen-sink Firefox profile folder copy, but for now I guess I'll just carry on with cookies persisting and at some point rebuild a fresh librewolf profile if I want to adopt their defaults.

So there's at least that, if this ambigious license stuff (and recent ad company purchases) bothers you, you can probably just copy your profile into Librewolf's profile folder, rename, and have done something about this perceived issue without a major disruption

That figures. It was fun though to pretend it would scale across processors. Were you tempted to fork the typescript compiler in this project to add some optimizations or something crazier like gpu acceleration for rendering or parallel workloads?

Reminds me of the guy on Youtube obsessed with optimizing Mario64 code, he found really interesting things like how removing optimizations made the game faster - presumably because the very basic tooling the original developers had made it hard to measure things across the board, and also not making the most of the powerful hardware architecture.

Oh, I just checked Librewolf and the feature actually is there now when you click the padlock.

`LibreWolf: Always store cookies/data for this site`

That's great, and I think I will now switch over

FYI You can use Floccus and a WebDAV server to sync bookmarks across browsers, set and forget

I contributed UX for a 'save cookies for this site' dropdown feature in the navbar, a poc was made which looked good, but it got lost in other work and eventually didn't land in a release that I'm aware of. Shame because that one feature would make it practical to use the recommended clear cookies behavior by default except for particular sites and overall boost everyone's privacy and security because I'm pretty sure most people turn it off after getting sick of logging in. After a couple of months I went back to Firefox and hardened it making it basically the same as LF but not being a month behind in updates. I guess I'll revisit the project now

I am sorry to hear this, however I would not be surprised if someone in the OpenCore/Hackintosh space has (or will produce) a fix, because those systems are sometimes particularly sensitive to updates

Fascinating. Just for fun, comparable compute (by cpumarks) to your 13900k for 30 fps would be 39,600+ 96-core AMD EPYC 9655Ps. Bravo on the project success!

They bought an ad company back in November I think, so this is not a surprise to me. Boiling frogs

> to help you navigate

This definition of helping me (a user} navigate could be interpreted in many ways, from the obvious all the way through to sending Mozilla my data so they can "improve Firefox" and therefore help me through giving them my information. This signals intent against my interest, regardless of whether that actually is there intent. The 'help' in particular is extremely suspicious and ambiguous

(3840 x 2400)/(1440 x 900) = 7.1111111111x. At retina this would be like using a normal 109dpi screen with 20% smaller pixels. squints

What are the minimum system requirements in order to run this at 30fps?
