I walk with crutches. When navigating an unknown city this would be bliss. Instead of having to stop, put my crutches to the side, pull out phone or check my watch to check directions, I'd just always have them there. Same for notifica

When I was a PS3 guy I remember the prices in Playstation Store typically being $10 or more higher than what you could get physical copies for, and things never went on sale. Having one storefront for all game sales seems like an absolutely

I'm in Norway, and I never consented in that dialog box, so my Facebook account is in limbo. The dialog still appears when I go to Facebook, years later, so I don't think anything has changed?

It must have improved considerably since I tried the "3.5-flash-preview" a couple of months ago if all these claims in the presentations are true. Because it couldn't even make changes in a 200 line Python script without doin

If you taxed the rich and corporations like Europe does you could easily have social security. The rich in the US love making Europe the boogeyman that stole your social security, while they laugh all the way to the bank.

Unless China makes a deal. They definitely want their trade with Europe. Europe is currently a much more reliable trading partner to them than the US.

It doesn't take much for somebody to seem like a more reliable party to make a deal with than Trump. Trump has already made direct threats of military action against Europe. Making a deal together with China might be the better option.

And in the olden times, people got nightmares from reading books, or by hearing a horror story around a campfire. Banning everything that is scary or can cause nightmares or trauma would be a very difficult effort, and deciding a boundary o

Or will they ban you from using something like https://github.com/filosottile/age to encrypt and armor text encode things you send inside of the non-encrypted chat? echo "Am I doing something illegal, France?&quot

Well, you can still run unsigned software (by clicking through to a bit of a hidden option in the popup dialog), and they also even remove that through "reputation" if enough people approve said binary (exact bitwise binary, so ev

Sourceforge died in a very different way though. Bundling spyware/crapware in install packages for open source software was a serious breach of trust, and was pretty much the direct reason for mass migration to Github. Github is failin

I think it has more to do with digital verification for social media in a hope of killing bot accounts that are interfering in the public debate. Some of the biggest social media influencer accounts turns out to be Chinese/Russian bots

I agree.. Maybe parts of the cache contents are business secrets.. But then store a server side encrypted version on the users disk so that it can be resumed without wasting 900k tokens?

With the help of coding agents it's easier than ever. Just get Claude/Codex to create Helm Charts / Docker Compose files for you. Struggle with some command line juggling to fix some obscure error? An agent can mostly help yo

I will consider this.. Opus 4.7 has effectively made Claude Max 5x into Max 2.5x.. 5 hour caps went from being a minor annoyance to being painful. Edit: And honestly, I can't say I see much improvement for a "doubling in price&quo

They already effectively halved it with the introduction of Opus 4.7 and the new tokenizer that basically gives you about half as much usage for the same price.. Convenient to price based on tokens, and leave what a token is a moving target

Hate that about Claude Code. I have been adding permissions for it to do everything that makes sense to add when it comes to editing files, but way too often it will generate 20-30 line bash snippets using sed to do the edits instead, and t

I had the first two iPhone models, but then moved to Android. So I've been an Android user for ~15 years. This will probably be the drop that makes me go back and try an iPhone again. If all phone OSes are going to be walled gardens, m

I've noticed recently that my Windows 11 start menu isn't a 50% gray empty blob anymore. I always disable "recommended apps" (eg. ad supported app suggestions), so 50% of the space in my start menu was unused, yet it was

The fund owns about 1.26% of Microsoft (data seems to be for 2025), which according to Gemini is about $37.5b in today's value. Stock value of Microsoft changed about 5.23% over the last year, which comes down to about $1.96b, so you&#
