One area every editor has failed for me is a very basic one: can I type a full sentence in the editor using my iPhone? Wordgard failed that test. Inputs coming from autocorrect or the keyboard suggestions are swallowed and delete the partia

You can already do that today with existing ARM-powered Windows devices (well, most of them anyway).

Follow up question: why does this need dedicated hardware? What does a dedicated $200 device do that the same app running on a smartphone can’t?

This is literally just a pretty RDP client that connects to a cloud VM running full-blown Windows, so yes, you can do whatever you want in Excel.

What's great is I can easily swap to an instance that is federating! Unidirectional federation sounds like a nightmare on the UX side, so if that's the case I imagine it'd be Threads to Mastodon, enabling you to follow (but n

As a Mastodon/Fediverse user, I hope the rumors that this is based on ActivityPub are true. I'd love for there to be an easy-to-use interface for everyone that brings more people and content into the Fediverse.

I use WinMerge[1] a lot, and it's always impressed me how it immediately opens to a useable state. So it's absolutely still possible to write Windows software that can open instantly. I think the biggest issue, which multiple othe

They both use Qualcomm chips. The smaller model uses a QCS2290, which appears to support GPS, so I suspect the larger model does as well. https://www.qualcomm.com/products/technology/processors/appl...

Most hi-res audio is being sold as digital downloads. I don't think there's a currently-sold physical medium that contains digital data that's higher quality than a CD.

The iPod nano 7th generation uses the same file structure as other iPods, but appears to use a database checksum that hasn't been reverse engineered yet. Given that the 7th generation nano has Bluetooth, I hope it's a more attract

I love this idea! I do think the method of picking results needs a bit of tweaking. I tried the most basic case, charging a laptop with a C-to-C cable, and it suggested two Thunderbolt cables and a 5 Gbps cable, all of which are overkill (a

Yup, basically that idea, but a bit higher spec (Linux-capable CPU instead of a microcontroller, larger and higher-resolution touchscreen). But it's definitely on the right track! Ideally we'd have something in line spec-wise with

No, something more akin to a smart display without a battery and a chassis that works well for being on a shelf or nightstand.

Everytime I'm reminded of the Chumby, I'm saddened that there isn't a modern version with an open development SDK. While Nest Hubs and Echo Shows are now available dirt cheap, they're all just e-waste waiting to happen.

Additionally, I'd love to see the PR where this change was implemented. I've been trying to convince Zola, a static site generator written in Rust, to support older versions of GLIBC.

I was really hoping Microsoft would expand this feature. I currently use a Microsoft 365 Business account for my personal email, and it feels like using a chainsaw to open a letter. One of the biggest gripes I have is the fact that a "

Oooff, 266 KB is a hefty price to pay. I really wish WebSQL would have won out over IndexedDB, because I would have loved to have been able to build libraries on top of that instead of the headache IndexedDB is.

I actually _really_ like these changes, but then again I was previously a VS Code user. I think JetBrains is specifically courting users who, like me, don't deal well with user interfaces that utilize large numbers of text labels. I th

Honestly I think they'll eventually drop the `0.` and just call it React Native 80. I can't imagine them ever referring to it as "React Native 1.1".

Ah it's using crypto/ssh to provide the SSH server, so I think that's all the details I needed! Can't wait to give this a shot.

Could you share some details about the embedded SSH server? I'm curious if this would work to add SSH capabilities to devices that run Tailscale but don't include a built-in SSH server. Previously I've used dropbear, so it&#x

Hello, Tile owner here! I have a Tile on my house keys and my wallet, which are the two devices I misplace the most often. They've saved me countless times, primarily helping me find them when I leave them in my car, or put them someon

This is also available in Microsoft Edge. Still, would be awesome to see support in Firefox and Safari!

`objdump -T node_modules/@next/swc-linux-x64-gnu/next-swc.linux-x64-gnu.node | grep GLIBC_` Looks like the highest version of `GLIBC` is 2.18, so I think you'll be fine!

I think one of the biggest issues with node-sass was that it only supported a narrow set of node versions and platforms, which resulted in a lot more compilation from source. I definitely remember fighting with node-gyp and such, and pretty

One thing to keep in mind is that SWC is a compiler, whereas esbuild is a bundler. SWC has limited bundling capabilities last time I checked, so if you're looking for something to traverse your code and generate a single file (or multi

Pretty sure the Expo folks are working on this!
