I must be missing something -- Cursor has no unlimited plan? I'll grant that the usage limits on auto are very generous, though. I think they need to be for Cursor to stay relevant.

I bought a Home Assistant Voice Preview Edition to try out. It's surprisingly good, but still falls short when compared to Google Home speakers: - Wake word detection isn't as good as the Google Homes (more false positives, more f

I'm especially curious about which ones are earning "life-changing" money for their authors. I couldn't find an easy way to list Substack newsletters by subscriber count, though. (By revenue would be even better.)

You can install the microcode driver to have Linux provide the updated microcode, if you'd like. (Depending on your distro, it might already be doing it.) https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/deve

I think the big issue is the different "tuning" for each heat pump system. For example, a heat pump water heater needs a different maximum temperature than an air conditioner, and has much different cycling behavior. This leads to

Just because a device isn't cloud-connected doesn't mean it isn't designed for planned obsolescence. For example, the ongoing cheapening of major appliances, or the DRM applied to printer cartridges and coffee pods. This is a

What do you mean by a "mesh-oriented obfuscation"? My best guess is: serving a different subset of the VM detection code to each client?

Anything dense (e.g. lasagna, meatloaf, etc.) is good for a lower power level / more time trade-off. It will end up more evenly warm without the edges exploding. I usually use power 3 or 4 for these dense dishes.

Panasonic "inverter" microwaves actually do reduce the power output. It's one of my favorite features. On power level 1 you can actually soften butter without melting random pits into it. Unfortunately, at least on my current
