"Those who want the latest features will continue to buy pixels"

My friend the GrapheneOS supported devices list is nothing but pixels, including the very latest models. It'll be good to have more supported devices.

This rant has nothing of value in it. Don't waste your time reading it. It tries to claim the only smartwatch that's any good is the Apple Watch. When the author tries to address the obvious counter of Garmin's smart watch products the only product discussed is a strawman version of the large and expensive Fenix 8, which leads me to believe they are ignorant of the broad smart watch lineup which includes things like the Vivoactive and Venu, which are absolutely smart watches first and fitness devices second (so is the Fenix 8, in reality).

And of course the Apple watch only syncs with Apple devices. So also implied is iPhone or don't bother.

Don't bother with this blog post.

This is unacceptable behavior, and terrible that anyone would think this way. You're telling me that if Tim Cook wasn't getting on his knees every couple of weeks Apple would end? That's farcical.

We're in collector territory here. This take is not hot, but it is mean.

I use Collabora online all the time (via Nextcloud) but I don't quite understand why I'd use this over LibreOffice on the desktop, which feels significantly more powerful than the online tool.

The few screenshots they show make this look similar to the existing online tool, which is fine for a lot of work, but like Word Online hits a wall with more complex documents.

AI in this case is Air India

Yes. As you say it maps to a key sequence, not a scancode. Additionally, it maps as a rapid key-down sequence followed immediately by key-up, so it cannot be remapped to a modifier key, such as right control (which it often takes over from on laptops).

There are ways, which involve using a software trap to capture it and then emit right control for a set period of time, but that's a workaround rather than a real fix.

https://github.com/m-bartlett/remap-copilot has a good writeup in the README

I call BS on this nonsense. I still have a useless copilot key on my keyboard. But we'll see. I'm not going back.

No, this is earned. They chose to do this, to publish lies, and have to live with the consequences.

It depends on what you're looking for. I have a Pixel 9a with Graphene on it and wanted to customize my icons which I don't think the stock launcher allows. Went with Lawnchair and set it up mostly the same as the stock Pixel launcher otherwise.

One of the most memorable things I did recently was explore an old Catholic cemetery above Central City, Colorado with my cousin. It was quiet, cool and sunny. Most of the aspens had dropped their leaves but a few stands were still thick with gold. We wandered through rows of headstones and markers in the fall sun and read the stories they told. Some headstones were more than 100 years old; others were quite new. Some were elaborately carved, while many were nothing more than markers with a name and date. Some were simply carved of wood, not likely to last. A few graves had fresh flowers.

The cemetery told stories of humanity. Most were universal. One headstone was for 5 children under 10, all who died in 1918 or 1919. It seemed likely to be the influenza pandemic, though we couldn't be certain. Another had a short lament from a father for his lost son which led to me opening up to my cousin about a friend I had just lost, who had previously lost his son. Something I needed to talk about but struggled to.

Cemeteries are very human. There is nothing offensive about a memorial for the dead. And in my experience children don't find them scary or morbid at all. And as others have said if they bother you personally then don't go to them.

You can sort of remap it on windows, but it's somewhat limited in my experience. It shows up as a keyboard chord rather than a simple button press. I think it's LWin+LShift+F23. I ended up simply disabling it entirely on my gaming laptop. I've been meaning to see if it's easier to make it useful on KDE Plasma desktop but haven't yet (though I did remap the HP Omen button to pull down Yakuake instead).

China has completed a number of these projects and has several in construction. I am not able to directly confirm but this appears to be a DC line.

There's a decent high level summary on Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ultra-high-voltage_electricity...

This is actually Google's fault, of course. Vendor lock-in. The experience on iOS is similarly frustrating.

This should have been obvious to anyone paying any attention whatsoever, long before any one of these computers launched as a product. But we can't make decisions on product or marketing based on reality or market fit. No, we have to make decisions on the investor buzzword faith market.

Hence the large percentage of Youtube ads I saw being "with a Dell AI PC, powered by Intel..." here are some lies.

I am not sure QGIS is a good comparison to this. The projection information dataset is nearly 800 MB on its own. But it's not really PROJ's fault that there are so many projections to manage.

If this odd apology for Microsoft's own messaging from The Verge wanted to make sense it would need to explain why office.com says "Microsoft 365 Copilot" in the title field and on the header of the page, and "Welcome to Microsoft 365 Copilot" front and center on the page, including "The Microsoft 365 Copilot app (formerly Office)", and do a better job than "Microsoft is referring to a mobile app they renamed."

At that point it doesn't matter what someone says pedantically. MS is abusing the office.com domain, which should send me to MS Office information.

Also, at the very end, the Office name is still ruined, given that they want to sell you "Microsoft 365" rather than "Office 365".

This is easily as bad as me having to launch the "Windows App" on my iPad when I need a quick remote desktop session. Just call it remote desktop because that is what it is.

In your case it's literally the same "complexity" as user/pass with 2FA. You need something to manage the passkeys, just like you need something to manage your second factor. Everything else you list as a worry is already in play.

FIDO is a standards body which produces specifications used by these systems.

Plexamp is a good option if you already have a Plex setup and subscription. I also use it and like it quite a bit. But it's paid only, and doesn't seem quite like what the author is looking for in terms of UI and focus.

Another option is something like MPD, there are some nice graphical clients for macOS and it has good flac/cue support (a single file album shows up as individual tracks in the interface), but you have to set up the mpd server first, then choose a client, and it can be a pretty DIY experience. I use a setup like this on linux but have never set up mpd on a mac.

LE has been really great, particularly in running hobby web sites on the public internet. Getting certbot up and running wasn't hard, automating renewal wasn't hard, and because they have DNS-based pathways to verification you can use LE certificates for sites not exposed to the public internet as well. Combine it with something like Caddy and getting SSL for an app becomes the default without ever having to manage certificates by hand.

I find it pretty amazing how far its come, and how big a change it has made to the internet in the decade it's been operating.

Edited for civility. But the sentiment remains.

This feels cynical and ugly, and I am pretty disgusted by the way things are going in this space. I don't see any reason to trust Boom based on their history, and I am sick and tired of the "solution" to bad ideas being more bad ideas. We need renewables and grid infrastructure, not yet more fossil fuels.

Additionally,

1) Aeroderivative gas turbines have been around for decades. "Oh but we have supersonic engines" does not change the fundamental equation

2) They're proposing burning more fossil fuels dug up from the ground to feed a beast that in my opinion is destroying the entire world economy, and certainly harming freedom

3) Where are they even getting the fuel? Magic? Someone has to build the pipelines, and someone has to supply the fuel.

This is only marketing, and is filled with half truths as most marketing is.

Honestly for many people that is probably not true as long as everyone is safe. Most things are replaceable, but those photographs probably are not.

> "detaining those with suspicious travel patterns"

Detaining those they _deem_, without oversight to have such.

Long-winded advertisement.

Specifically, the underlying model designs, not individual vehicles.

Because your company is all in on teams but you prefer to use linux when possible. It gets the job done for chat and calls.
