Does this continuously charge and discharge the battery, using up battery cycles?

I think "leaders" have lost touch with reality. Actually, people in general have lost touch with reality, with instagram and tiktok influencers essentially saying you are a loser if you don't have these luxury products that &

If this becomes mainstream, then the economies of scale should bring down the cost significantly. And cost aside, it would be safer and more customisable- you can install the switch anywhere and even change the location easily, don’t need a

It should be illegal to restrict tethering or charging differently for tethering. There are really no technical reasons for a phone to even convey whether it is using the data or sharing data using a hotspot. It is purely for price gouging.

It is not just that most people can’t afford an EV, but they don’t have home charging! The article doesn’t even mention this problem and just assumes that everyone has that privilege. Most people in developing countries park their cars road

It is not really a fair comparison. I would expect that an old android phone that is just sitting in the cupboard to be used for hosting. I think the goal should not be “hosting website” but to be able to repurpose an old compute device for

Jamulus is a very cool project and I was blown away by how jamming over the internet was not just usable but actually enjoyable. https://github.com/jamulussoftware/jamulus

Unlike JSON, orc requires batching of rows to write to disk. It's because it does a lot of computation - maintaining indexes, encoding columns (run-length, dictionary), calculating statistics, maintaining bloom filters, compressing col

The Motherduck website says “ SERVERLESS DATA ANALYTICS WITH DUCKDB”. Does this mean using lambdas or cloud functions? This looks very similar to https://github.com/cloudfuse-io/buzz-rust

If it is economical, the benefits must be passed on to the consumers. Maybe luxury cars have become commoditised and BMW can’t think of any new innovative thing to charge for so this is what they do.

The last time I used syncthing to sync files from my android phones to my Linux server, it always somehow got stuck and never recovered. The phone app would stop running in the background and I would forget to rerun it and if it was started

Making a Bluetooth alternative, I think apple is the only company that can pull it off. But they will absolutely do it such that only their headphones will work with Apple devices. And then they will license other manufacturers to be able t

The only way that this will work is if companies reduce their margins making companies less profitable, reducing wealth inequality. That is never going to happen.

This is not really a demo of the voice transcription quality but of the platform. It just shows how to take an open source machine learning library (deepspeech) and make it into a webapp quickly.

I can get a 2021 65 inch Samsung qled tv for $1k and it has 100% dci-p3 coverage compared to 90% of the monitor, has HDR and 120Hz refresh rate, has usable speakers, has a good remote to control it and is larger and cheaper. I don’t know th

Yes, where are the quantum dots, the local dimming, the mini leds that TVs have?

Just the algorithm being publicly available won’t help much, unless all the data that is input to the algorithm is also publicly available.

I am tempted to do this, at least as a FU to the monitor industry. There is so little innovation in monitor tech! Why are monitors so expensive and old tech compared to TVs? I just want an affordable large monitor with 120Hz refresh rate an

I actually can’t on my MacBook Air M1. You have to get the connector in the right horizontal orientation and at the right physical position. And the portable usb-c docks are so heavy and unwieldy that it becomes difficult to get them in pla

I don’t think the average users ever delete any of their browser data. In this case however, the whole idea would be that there is redundancy and it is ok for you to clear your cache and storage. As for the hoster, they would probably use a

How does this compare to Spark structured streaming? That too allows writing SQL on streams and having the state update incrementally.

AliExpress.com is the fastest e-commerce site I have experienced. It was very apparent when I first browsed it - I wasn't even looking for speed, it simply jumped out at me. Especially the search.

The reply comes across as you recommending AA instead of what the parent comment recommends. Hence the downvotes.

I would totally host it if I got some money out of it. Maybe get paid for ads served through my computer.
