Things would be a massive PITA without WhatsApp for me. I guess iMessage/RCS would do, or one of the many alternatives, but in the UK, WA is the messaging platform.

If you work at a company and it's a company device, then its not your privacy to worry about - you don't use your work device for personal matters, and the concerns are someone elses. IBM, SAP, Capital One, GE, Cisco, Intel, Deloi

I’m not quite sure what the point of this article is. Removed some apps and installed a music player on an old phone?

Because this isn’t a charity, I’m not paying to work out a new company’s engineering issues. I feel confident, based on the last few laptops, in spending £2k and having it last as my primary for 5 years or so, and then either still having s

Heh, I remember the “remove the USB A” debacle when I had my OG. That thing really hacked me off generally. Coming from a MBP 2016 that sipped power, the battery anxiety was real (especially standby drain), and I spent more time than I’d ca

In London (not EU sadly but…), yes. They have checkpoints on bridges.

Same in a lot of countries - he said profits - it’s a taxable gain like any other asset or holding.

It feels like if you know how far away the strip is (sounds like they did), and can get a bearing on it, they should be all set… with no GPS they should presumably have had even stronger eyes on the charts. Back when i used to sail, taking

All that to mine crypto. What a waste of resources.

I had a chat with this with a friend the other day - I feel like I’m much happier to do this now I live in a dwelling on its own. I mess up, it’s my issue. You mess up in an apartment block, it’s a lot more people’s issue, who aren’t opting

ESP home is so powerful like this. And is great to build components for (although I find this part a little complex, lots of Claude help…). I’ve got a vibe coded “Nuaire Fan” controller to talk UART to my whole home ventilation and present

I think the crank the temp hard one way or another is a fairly common approach. It’s what I do to have home assistant use my nest thermostat as a dumb switch.

Frustratingly I couldn’t find a Mikrotik that would offer me a few SFPs, and a 2.5 or two. I wanted ideally just 3 SFPs - two WAN for LB / Failover and one up to switch. 2.5g WAN would do but would rather SFP for future use. UDM-SE it

Funny the location of the ground stations. Very odd clustering.

Presumably the license to surveil the city is extended to flock by the city? Presumably they should be able to compel them to disable them, and provide proof of this (whether they’re trusted or not…)

It’s not that intricate. A very simple docker and alias setup will get you an ephemeral container with your Claude (or whatever) config and the current wd bind mounted in. That’s a pretty good start. Or, the internal sandboxing.

It’s also just a much greater cost per head of build / management / maintenance/ transacting to hit a much smaller proportion of users. Build an app for iOS, deal with Apple (or Google…), you’re hitting many many nore people

The frustrating thing is I bet they’re still tracking and collecting this when you stop paying for the tracking / telematics.

I use CarPlay all the time in my car and love it. I rent quite a lot of cars. I’d rather CarPlay was taken from my car and left in all the rental cars than the other way around. The car manufacturers are awful with their interface design, a

My car supports multitouch in factory nav but not CarPlay (24 plate VAG).

Would this not be an issue with any interface if the screen is that small?

by bdavbdav 3mo ago
Not only does it irritate me not having it in a practical sense, it’s also an arrogance on behalf of the manufacturer. “We can do it better than iOS/Android”, or “We have a better reason to do it”. No, and No.

Same principle here - 2.5GBE dock on the desk, and UniFi WiFi 7 everywhere else. Though switching to the WiFi 7, which hits 1gb+ just about everywhere in the house, I generally feel less inclination to hit the desk

Then dock it - these things have USB4 / TB, may as well get a TS5 and cover all your bases in one wire.
