I am in the same boat but I recently found I could also use these tool so reverse engineer stuff as well. For example I purchased this label printer from china and was unsatisfied with the printing quality under Linux. So I "coded" a go script to print via BLE instead of CUPS [1]. To do this I de-compiled the android app that comes with the printer and instead of spending hours going through it I just told an Agentic AI to do this for me.

I am now so deep into the rabbit hole that I have made a version that runs entirely in the browser and an ESP32 version. I have now also taken the printer apart to find that the built in BLE is an external module and I could interface directly with the printer by replacing it with my own custom PCB...

However other research shows a concerning association between long-term, heavy cannabis use and an increased risk of dementia, including Alzheimer's disease. [1]

Would be useful if I had to debug my internet link and I only had a laptop.

I and others are having the feeling this is actually a manufactured shortage to kill all remaining self and small hosters forcing them to move to the large cloud providers.

One does not mess with the TÜV, it won't end well. Even in Turkey where they introduced TÜVTÜRK to get Turkey closer to EU regulations.

If you don't have an underlying condition it is way better to get the Vitamin D from the sun in 10-30min increments per day after which you are saturated for the day. Overdose is not possible via the sun (excluding sun burns of course).

> A single, optimal sun exposure session might produce the equivalent of 10,000 to 25,000 IU from a supplement, but it will not keep increasing with more time in the sun. That's your max per session.

I refuse the purchase any apple products (I was never a fan and don't like paying premium for a walled garden) but it's impossible to offer an app if you don't also make one for apple devices.

There is no way around it especially in an apple dense market like Switzerland.

They have a clear monopoly and together with Google a duopoly.

I can thankfully continue with my refusal to purchase from HP perfectly fine.

You can on the betting market bet against Tesla reaching their ever moving goal posts. Those same meme stock holders are so sure that FSD will come by March that they are taking the bets.

How about instead of taxing them any differently than now, we prevent them from borrowing against their assets? Force them to sell their assets and pay capital gains.

If the OECD decided collectively to tax them there is no where to leave to. They decided on a minimum global cooperate tax, then they can do that same for those 1%.

Of course there are still countries where one could park their money outside the OECD members but many of those are not exactly a "safe" place for such assets.

Interesting, this may result in showing how secure signal really is.

Is a open flame enough to ignite those liquids and don't they need something to press against to "explode" and not just cause a giant flame like gasoline?

As long as stock profit is the only goal then Tim Cook is the correct CEO for Apple. Bribing the president publicly and doing what ever is required to keep the cash flowing in the short term is what share holders want.

I just wish they had sub/project folders like in gitlab. I would switch in a heartbeat.

Shameless self promotion. I make these: https://www.stationdisplay.com/

I like the idea of refundable submission fee for bug bounties. No refunds for slop and poorly researched submissions.

I agree on application costs to be less but I believe a company needs to bring some capital. In Switzerland you need to pony up 20k in startup capital for a GmbH or 100k for an AG (ignoring the 50k work around), it belongs to the company but guarantees some security for customers and vendors that you aren't just going to take their money and run.

In Switzerland you don't even need to collect VAT until you make at least 100k a year so I find requiring some capital ok.

Switzerland is the worlds 3rd. largest holder of foreign exchange reserves. Thinking that small countries are irrelevant is futile.

The U.S. needs changes in its constitution if it ever wants to go back to where it was and get the rest of the world to play along again.

The fact that the DoJ is not an independent institution unlike in almost every other western country makes it impossible to uphold the law if the white house doesn't want to. The only thing preventing a sitting president from going after his political enemies is a "gentleman's agreement" between administrations in the United States.

Stability it key and there isn't any as we can see clearly.

Exactly, just see the gal of garbage spewed by for example Scott Bessent at the WEF yesterday. The arrogance is outright insulting.

At some point Germany and others will feel the US presence on their soil being occupation forces and not joint NATO forces.

Interesting, any plans to add LiteLLM (https://github.com/BerriAI/litellm) and Kilocode (https://github.com/Kilo-Org/kilocode)?

Is there a premade VM image or docker container I can just start with for example Google Antigravity, Claude or Kilocode/vscode? Right now I have to install some linux desktop and all the tools needed, a bit of a pain IMO.

I see there are cloud VMs like at kilocode but they are kind if useless IMO. I can only interact with the prompt and not the code base directly. Too many things go wrong and maybe I also want kilo code to run a docker stack for me which it can't in the agent cloud.

It's at https://sschueller.github.io/index.xml . I need to add a link.

Is it able to handle a much larger dataset? Only a tiny fraction of data has been release from what is looks like.

This puts the Swiss government in a bad situation. What non-foreign messenger are they going to use now?

Hobbyist vapour phase reflow ovens exist although not cheap: https://eleshop.eu/vaporflow-275-vapour-phase-reflow-oven.ht...

I still prefer SMF over MMF. It also allows me to "move" where the city fiber comes in and patch it to another location without any active hardware. So I can for example move my router into another room.

I ran SMF and have no regrets. https://sschueller.github.io/posts/wiring-a-home-with-fiber/
