throooooo··on Turn off Apple Intelligence on macOS 27 and get its disk space back
Simplicity to the point of hostility towards the user. This is a recurring pattern with Apple, and a reason why I don't use their equipment.

For the future, it shouldn't be necessary to reinstall Linux just to fix a sound card. Pipewire et. al are a bit of a mess and sprinkle config files in /etc and your home dir. If it happens again start with deleting those and doing a restart.

Vendor lock-in increases their profit margins. If people could purchase a 128GB Mac mini and install their own 2TB drives they wouldn't make as much money.

Depending on how much you value your privacy or not being annoyed, some people see it as mandatory.

I used to use XMonad (now on Hyprland) and feel that the tiling window manager experience you can get on Linux doesn't have an equivalent on macos. KDE is solid but yeah it's plain jane.
throooooo··on Run Qwen 3.8 Flash Next (125B) on consumer hardware (RTX 4090) at 100T/s
How would you do that? Just rely on the user agent? I use curl quite a lot, but don't pipe to a shell.
throooooo··on Show HN: Thoreau BASIC – What if BASIC hadn't gone out of fashion?
I'm guessing those type of folks will be well served by LLMs and need not care about specific languages.
throooooo··on Docker has always used microVMs (well since 2016)
I washed my hands of Docker back when they changed the licensing of Docker Desktop. Podman is fine.
throooooo··on Woking Electrical Control Room (2016)
Speaking of not being occluded, my first thought about that floor lamp. Why not use a ceiling lamp for unobstructed views?
throooooo··on City building games have a Soul Problem pt.2
This makes no sense to me. There are plenty of games that feel soulful and alive, even gave that are 40+ years old with meager graphics have managed it.
throooooo··on GPT 6.1 Sol: Near-Astra intelligence for a fifth of the price
This was my experience 3 months ago. I had an Android app that interacted with a Bluetooth device that I wanted to reverse engineer and build my own Linux app for it. DeepSeek was struggling really hard. Claude did it end to end after 3 or 4 prompts. To be fair, I was using a web interface for DeepSeek and the CLI for Claude; maybe that makes a large difference.

Seasons 1-5 of Reno 911 were 4:3. If you stream them nowadays they've had an awful pan and scan applied that actually removes a ton of detail, results in heads being cut off, etc. All so we don't get black bars on the sides of the screen. It's so bad and makes me question whether the people that did the conversion even watched their output.
throooooo··on Windows 11½
Really? My Win 11 install (sparsely used nowadays) is nag city. Set up OneDrive, activate cloud backups, sign into your Microsoft account, oops Xbox Game Bar popped up because I pressed some key combination, reboot (a few times) to finish updates, set up copilot, error installing update, reboot before installing update, etc.
throooooo··on Windows 11½
I can feel my blood pressure raising. Very accurate to the Windows experience.
throooooo··on Windows 11½
I preferred 2000, but admit that didn't make it to the masses.
throooooo··on Owed a billion dollars in Nvidia stock
I can only hope that my bank will someday feel the same way about my mortgage.
throooooo··on If we do not stop to help each other, what do we become?
Yes. Comments and posts are terrible nowadays. Especially in tech-related subreddits.
throooooo··on PipePipe: NewPipe hard fork implementing SponsorBlock
Which apps are you using for this? In the US it seems most things are routed through Google Wallet and NFC is a no-go on GrapheneOS.
throooooo··on If we do not stop to help each other, what do we become?
Reddit is 80% of the way there.
throooooo··on Allow Carriers on Planes
What, you don't want to allow Verizon on planes?
throooooo··on Allow Carriers on Planes
When I read the title I thought it was referring to communications carriers (cell phone companies.)
throooooo··on Allow babywearing carriers on planes
Flight attendants, like mostly anyone else, have a job to do. Much of their job involves keeping hundreds of people safe at the same time. Not obeying a FA's order is a federal crime and could be a felony.
throooooo··on Bend – A language that blocks AI mistakes via proof, on CPU and GPU
Thank you for being honest.
throooooo··on Reversing Factorio's RNG
If you're playing/hosting locally you get a preview of the world and can reroll for a different seed if you'd like.
throooooo··on Show HN: An e-ink frame that hears birds and draws them as 1800s illustrations
The e-ink screens linked by OP are much more interesting from a color reproduction standpoint. TRMNL devices are either grayscale or 2 colors.
throooooo··on Fable 5.1 Solves the Cyphral Distich, a 370-year-old cipher
But then local politicians wouldn't get their kickbacks.
throooooo··on Nitter has more working instances than before the takedowns
Seriously. The UX/UI on Twitter has always been a dumpster fire.
throooooo··on Government Rails Site Hit Hours After CVE Patch
Same. So much spacing between the 3 lines. If they want to keep that huge header I'd suggest it gracefully entirely disappear when scrolling down and reappear when scrolling up.
throooooo··on Portal by Spotify cut my Claude Code token usage by 90%
Smooth as butter with Firefox on Android. As for why scrolljacking is "allowed", web devs will always find new ways to do annoying things and work around browser constraints.
throooooo··on Gmail to end support for "Send as" for third-party addresses, such as @yahoo.com
Oh, if they're sending via your provider's SMTP then that makes sense. Still, I can't imagine a lot of people use this feature.
