I've found some still have a weird tendency to defend bad UX on apple products, even if it's obviously bothering them. I've heard similar sentiments as in the article too, especially about the app store, but it's not som

This is true, but this was never really a problem for the adoption. Spec delays, no firmware upgrade support, and most importantly no proper backing by phone or gateway vendors. Thread and matter seem to have fumbled their opportunity thoug

In the US, wages, vacation, healthcare, pension plans and care for the elderly are private arrangements set up by everyone individually (technically). The Nordic model is a collective arrangement, where safety nets are provided by the gover

Yes, actually. I have to charge for 30-40 minutes every 5 hours or so. That fits well with my meal schedule, and most charging stations are at or close to restaurants or shops. Charging at these stations is almost as expensive as gasoline t

A VW Golf starts at 35800€, and a VW ID.3 starts at 32800€, taxes included. Overall, electric cars are a bit cheaper than their counterparts, but not a lot. However, today, petrol is 2.15€/l and electricity is 0.013€/kWh. That&#x2

It's not obvious if you come from emacs, but the keyboard centric navigation is very different from traditional IDEs, that usually come with a wide array of buttons with weird icons at the top. A few other aspects: - dark mode by defau

This is true, but the connection request only comes on one channel. The sniffer can be set up to follow an advertiser though, which makes it jump to the next channel in the sequence as soon as the time window for sending a connection reque

I wrote some of the firmware for this sniffer. As others mention, Bluetooth Low Energy works on multiple channels, with connections jumping from channel to channel in a predefined pattern. Bluetooth stacks are implemented to act as one of t

+1, this approach will also highlight cases where you're trying to generalize something that isn't as generic as you thought. I'd argue that the need for downcasting in a method working on the inner context would also be a co

Spotify clogs the write queue on my workstation (w/ssd), giving me 2 second freezes every 5mins or so. I don't know if it's this bug, but the disk write numbers and database file match, and the only remedy is exiting Spotify.
