This looks great, but I got a bit of sticker shock when I saw Glide's plan to do this is $69 per month cost (billed yearly). There's a free tier, but with a 1-app limit and only Big Tables (no Google Sheets). I'd be fine with paying for personal apps, but $69/month feels a bit... steep.

It should still handle PCIe probing and (logical) reconnection without a reboot, though, e.g.: PCIe redirection for a VM.

Right, but I think it wasn't a real intended use case and that some TVs provided amperage over the spec (maybe by accident? simpler circuit bridging the same power pin for USB and HDMI?).

I had the same first gen Chromecast (may even have it lying around somewhere) but it came with explicit directions to use the included power cable, so maybe they updated the included guide some time after release.

AirTags get updates regularly, so they'd probably get power-cycled sooner than that.

I have about 8. They used to run low at the same-ish time frame, but over time they drift apart due to frequency of moving around. (e.g.: the AirTag in my luggage runs out months after the one in my wallet)

AirTags use the same Find My protocol that's been out for years before them, I doubt Apple will cut them off. They also get regular software updates, so the hardware should last that.

Ah, apologies. Guess I missed that.

And I see, alright. I usually know of that range just for the used PCs or office clearance.

I wouldn’t, I’m just inferring what they meant from context (it just reads like they’re bilingual and had a mental mistranslation).

Right, but you’re missing the person I replied to, who was clearly referring to the used office PC market:

> Any of the Lenovo or Dell mini pc's are cheaper (around £50-£70 depending on the model) on eBay

They meant “made a business out of converting files between formats”, I.e. those “mp4 to mov” sites. Supposedly they’d be on the hook for converting copyrighted content, in this Funko world where basically touching their IP in some user-done way torches the whole business.

> It’s so wrong that it makes me wonder “does this person understand anything at all about the bare fundamentals of intellectual property?”

You really don’t have to assume the worst or attack them for using the wrong word here.

But that's comparing apples (new computer, whether N100 mini PC or RPi 400/500) to oranges (used/refurbished office mini PCs).

I haven't been able to find this anywhere: does the 500 at least keep the PCIe ribbon connector that the base Pi 5 has?

Yes — World of Warcraft, League of Legends and DotA 2 all have native macOS ports. WoW got an Apple Silicon port relatively recently IIRC (last expansion).

That'd be enough for a large cup of coffee, maybe even a bagel.

Speaking of screens, I wonder if they fixed the jelly scroll. It doesn’t bother me that much on my mini, but it would be ridiculous to keep that flaw as-is in the newer gen.

Oh of course, I just meant to emphasize that it isn't HIV that causes immune system deficiency, therefore, transplant rejection can still occur.

That's what I meant but I accidentally used the term virus, thanks.

(Disclaimer: not a doctor)

AIDS is the immune deficiency-causing virus, and that begins (usually) way after an HIV infection takes place — months, years. So until then, they’d still need to take immunosuppressants.

Do you hold Apple Intelligence's local LLM to the same standard?

Apple Intelligence will index all of your messages, app data, etc. into a queryable index. That will also obviously reside on disk somewhere, encrypted. And it could be just as exfiltratable as your hypothetical. (Because both cases require compromising the host computer)

Windows Recall doesn’t use OpenAI or any online API. The indexing and OCR is done by a local model, in a Secure Enclave powered by VBS and encrypted with the system TPM. AKA: a virtualization-separated process with storage inaccessible to the OS (all lookup etc. is done over RPC).

It's down there, below the bluecheck promotion. Or in (non-English) circles where the LLM bots haven't proliferated yet, which are also (mostly) why I stuck around.

Unfortunately it's still the main "shortform" social network here for local stuff. Not enough in my country moved to Mastodon or Bluesky. (Referenced HN comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=41586643)

And no, it's definitely not worth it if you're joining/new enough. Anyone who asks me about Twitter I immediately tell them to not bother and that I'm just "stuck" there. My Following feed and most of the algorithmic feed is fine, it's just the replies & interaction that took a huge hit.

> Make it possible to declare issues to depend on other issues and milestones.

But this is where the JIRA-fication happens, with the many issue link types coexisting alongside no one knowing which is the right one.

> It should be possible to link issues to other issues and milestones.

We already do this by mentioning the #, actually. Well, more to do with PRs mentioned by their backports, but the idea stands.

We use labels as module tags; e.g. this PR/issue applies to the "filter" module. Having types be its own thing helps separate the two logical categories and enforce "one type per ticket" at the same time.

As long as they don't add workflows, we're safe.

GitHub issues have edit history now IIRC, so the maintainer can just edit the ticket in these cases, and still have the original text available under the "edited" submenu.

I've said this in another thread here, but Twitter is borderline unusable because of this. I have 5,000+ blocked accounts by now (not exaggerating), and the first few screenfuls of replies are still bots upon bots upon bots. All well-behaved $8-paying netizens, of course.

If it's normal marketing stuff from something I had an interaction with -- clothing store, restaurant, etc. -- then I try their unsubscribe flow if it's 1-2 steps.

But generally, when I was using a Pixel I made extensive use of Google's SMS spam blocker and reported all of the random political texts that kept using different names. (And eventually Google's filter learned)

Now on iPhone (outside the US), there's no junk detection and I don't trust any app to not keep my texts. But I found that blocking a bunch of shady shortener domains + WhatsApp links with an app like Blocky[1] catches like 95% of them.

1: A power user app that lets you make your own wildcard & regex filters for texts. Offline and open source. Looks like it's delisted by now, but this was the link to it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/blocky-sms-filter/id1535374786 . Maybe I'll make one to replace it when I get a Mac.

Maybe it's a BIOS/firmware thing: replacing the RAM memory chips on a Steam Deck to 32GB total requires BIOS tweaks to recognize the chips. I assume in this case the motherboard may be trained to recognize up to 1TB, like the highest capacity model sold. 2TB+ may be too high density to "just work" out of the box.

What killed it was the UMD drive. Years after the PSP was discontinued, I read about a TIFF exploit and jailbroke my PSP. I ripped my copy of The Sims 2 from UMD to ISO and loading it from a normal Memory Stick made every loading screen 2 seconds instead of 2 minutes. (not exaggerating)
