That’s so cool. I had no idea this was a thing and it’s right up my alley.

Basically there's 2 versions of the database file, the old (KDB) and the new (KDBX) which has more features/fields/etc. For the clients, 2.x uses KDBX files, but is also compatible with the older KDB files, while 1.x can only

I YouTube-dl anything/everything I think I might like to watch again. Tutorials, reference videos, music videos, you name it. Storage is cheap and YouTube has proven they’re not a place for long term storage.

The fish big enough for google to care about are all protected from this stuff. YouTube is completely and utterly broken for anyone smaller than “I make tens/hundreds of thousands for google and have a management team to handle my You

Audacity is up there for me with those open source projects that deserve to go into some form of OSS Hall of Fame. Audacity, VLC, Blender, KeePass, Inkscape, OBS, etc (there's many more but those are the ones I use regularly). Programs

Abandons NEW combustion engine development. They’re still developing their existing combustion engine platforms further and aren’t giving up on ICE.

Absolutely. I gladly pay for YouTube Premium, Subscribe to Twitch streamers I like to remove ads there, and other services that do an ad-supported free tier than a premium ad-free tier. Other replies to me are reading me wrong, I didn'

I’ve used Telegram for years now, along with almost all my family and friends. I’m a huge fan of it, and it’s basically the only IM I use anymore (other than Signal with some tech friends). If Telegram adds ads, rather than offer us a chanc

GCode Viewer is included with OctoPrint, it lets you preview the loaded GCode layer by layer before/while printing, and can sync to the print in realtime too.

Ok that's fair, I hadn't seen that. They really should have more "real" photos/videos of it on their website then. A flashy website full of renders then a link to a Github that's 99% empty and full of "We&

Is this anything more than a pipedream at this point? I've seen it come up multiple times over the last year, and yet a quick skim through the Github shows that there's not really anything done other than some basic planning/

As someone who spends a fair few weeks a year in hospital, the idea of internal hospital security cameras being connected to the internet at all is absolutely fucking horrifying. It's people at their most vulnerable, and FTA it says it

I had no idea they did that, and that's a really genius idea. I'd happily pay that for sites I like reading so I can pull the content in and read it how I want to rather than deal with the absolute dumpster-fire of a mess that the

I've been wanting something like this for ages. I always thought the Kindle not having the full Wikipedia archive as an optional install was a massive missed opportunity, especially back when the Kindle had the keyboard at the bottom.

His entire point is trying to get stuff working (even for a few seconds) using cheap hobbyist printers and not requiring skills in metal fabrication or any special equipment. With that goal in mind, I think he does incredibly well on his pr

Integza is that perfect mix of entertaining and actually-impressive-science. Every video he puts out is doing stuff no one (or very few people) have tried, and his passion for it all shines through regularly.

Yeah I’ve been using Keepass with a synced db for about as long as it’s been around and never had a complaint. Got most of my family doing the same and they like it too... and no longer use petname1234 for every single website.

The real "Beetle of EVs" will be something that is priced down around the Honda Civic, Mazda 3, etc. AUD$30k (~USD$20k) or so. The first major brand to come out with an EV comparable to that class of car, with local warranty/

IS300. I’ve had some older ISes and always been a fan so this was a dream purchase for me.

Not sure why you’re being downvoted. I have a new (1yr old) Lexus and you’re correct, no touch screen.

My 2019 IS300 doesn’t have a touch screen at all. It has a small wide-screen display on top of the dash but it’s controlled by a physical controller in the centre console like a mouse, and it’s only for GPS and audio. Same goes for all IS m

This just nailed just about everything I was going to say. I’ve used and liked both since both started and this entire thread is pretty embarrassing.

They kind of still do the split home brands, the “Essentials” brand is the super budget stuff and their “Woolworths” brand is the better-packaging stuff. There’s definitely products I’ve noticed that have both versions too. Then they have h

The first thing it suggested was an artist I’ve never heard of, who I’m now completely in love with. Craziest part is the artist isn’t actually that similar to the 3 suggestions I gave it, different genre and everything. Spotify and Apple M

Same for me. I’ve had tinnitus most my life and my QC35s make it noticeably worse. I’ve pretty much had to stop using them which I hate because I really really enjoyed the noise cancelling aspects, but it got to the point where within a few

Yeah I’ve been struggling for decades to stay at a stable weight, and have found my personal perfect combo that works now is “20% exercise and 80% diet”. Strict OMAD, zero processed sugars, and my dinner is a loaded up feast of a plate full

Dithering has always given me the most incredibly overwhelming nostalgia, to the point where it’s emotionally moving. No doubt because my first computer was a Macintosh SE and it tickles all the right memories, but there’s something more to
