Sony TVs are handled by TCL now, so time will tell how Sony-branded models act (up) in the future. https://www.tomsguide.com/tvs/sony-just-handed-its-tv-busine...

I like Kagi, but is it me or have their results been less than great for the past 1-3mo? Maybe the places they're pulling their results from have had some changes?

The AGI rhetoric in Big Tech reminds of Paul Samuelson who wrote of Wall Street indexes predicting "nine out of the last five recessions". https://quoteinvestigator.com/2023/11/01/predict-nine/

Parents got one years ago, and to date, it is the loudest household item I've ever heard. Never trusted commercials without sound after that.

That looks amazing! I've been thinking to move to Kobo as well with iBooks feeling like abandonware, and it's also been interesting to see community projects like Nico Verbruggen's typesetting fixes for ebooks[1][2]. Honestly

What format would people generally prefer for shorturls if they were designing a website for readability, maintenance, and SEO? foo.website.com/{initiative} or website.com/foo/{initiative}? And are there any optimal names for

Shame, because it's genuinely a great map - ahem, optimizations aside. I remember giving the app a second chance - after assuming it to be bloatware next to all the other default apps that came with Windows - but after seeing it redeem

One thing to flag from Europe and GDPR is all the malicious compliance of companies and governments using the law as an excuse to not meet some basic obligations to users like storing and retrieving useful information, or getting pretty bas

I understand why forums don't expose user IDs for scraping, but man it would be nice to just be able to tag users online with accounts created after the introduction of ChatGPT.

People have already tried this with C2PA, and it's not a perfect system. The main problem with these systems is that you risk certifying fake media, which is worse than uncertified fake and real media. https://news.ycombinat

This would also work amazingly with https://beliapp.com which is a tool for - only - sharing restaurant reviews with your contacts to serve as a personal graph of trust. Or you could also implement your own on-site equivalent of

I forget the name, but there's also a company that does physical mockup of your house's floor plan that you can walk through, kind of like Von Trier's Dogville, but at least with some walls. There's definitely a percep

Definitely. I think the appeal to some isn't GenAI per se but image-to-image generation like "make this item look like a talented photographer shot it". But I can't imagine that your conversion wouldn't benefit by s

It's not great as a Mullvad user: YouTube constantly complains and also shadowbans some of my livestreaming functionality, and my X account has now been flagged as a bot, which requires me to download the app and verify myself in ways

Swedish politics aside(!), I'd love to have other VPN services as exit points for Tailscale. More choice is good, and hopefully that becomes an option one day.

People also generally use Violentmonkey ( https://violentmonkey.github.io ) instead nowadays.

Well this almost seems to be to good to be true. :) I assume this is going to make maintaining SubtitleEdit a lot easier from now on, too: https://github.com/SubtitleEdit/subtitleedit/ . Anyone know a good Windows

There's also the weird scenario of a reporting bias where instead of admitting to a bunch of vulnerabilities, you can frame it as "look at how useful AI is". We even have companies implementing solutions for ffmpeg vulnerabil

I've always loved Samsung Magician (for drives), whose Windows installer always asks something to the effect of "Do you happen to live in Brazil or the EU by any chance?"

The acoustics of homes with clean walls and floors can also be absolutely miserable. Some small dining rooms amplify all the worst noises and make it terrible to be in, drains your mental battery like few other things.

In my experience, every good paid iOS app eventually gets copied by someone who releases the clone for free; with games, this was basically a given even eons ago. That being said, a lot of people have been bitten by a paid app that transiti

Children aside, this is just an absurd amount of data to hand over. At least people will realize that age verification is something everyone will have to do to prove they're >16 - not just something <=16yo's will run into.

The year is 2030. Content's been blocked by age verification and overreach, but the ads still remain.

A lot of the iPhone design decisions have generally had the nature of something I didn't like that some market research must have shown to be in demand. And so the iPhones have kept getting bigger, even though I've held on to my 4

Even worse when you're on Windows. What's the point of the cloud if it only works halfway decently on Mac. Makes me feel like an idiot for doing something as outlandish as paying artists for their music.
