If any amount of money was meaningless to apple, they wouldn't be where they are today.

Don't forget that google also has mozilla by the balls and can turn firefox into a community project at any time.

Yes, as far as I know you do. I don't know how they did it, but it even works when the phone isn't booted.

Haven't implemented negative prompts yet, but from what I can tell it's as simple as substracting from the prompt in embedding space.

I can highly recommend ACC (and the ACCA app [1] for setup). It lets me limit my phone to 90% charge with the ability to ignore the limit temporarily when I need to. That's very useful for fixing the battery calibration, which can go b

My Oneplus 5T got replaced because it has a small crack in the screen so it's impossible to disassemble without breaking the screen. I used ACC to only charge that to 90% so I could get three years out of the battery instead of just tw

Teams will let you use chat and join meetings in firefox, but as soon as you try to make a call you'll get the "fuck you" popup.

Sounds a lot like MS wants to have OpenAI but without a boards that considers pesky things like morals.

I wouldn't interpret missing interactions on twitter as more than people not using twitter.

I once bent the USB-C connector on a dell dock just because the cable is stiff and the bend from going below my desk put too much force on the connector. It still works, but has an angle now. If the cable wasn't permanently attached, h

They used to use topre switches which many people swear by and combined it with a modern design. Compared to the gaming keyboards with MX blues and the ultra-cheap rubberdome boards of the time, it was a great package so they gained popular

Those boards are absolutely gorgeus. I'm not looking for a trackpoint or a standard layout, but I'm still tempted to buy one.

This is why my next car is hopefully going to be my last one. I have my eyes on an ND Miata. Tried researching the privacy aspect and found one reddit comment from 69 days ago saying the infotainment system is old enough to not do this crap

The tracking goes much deeper than that [1] and it isn't the only part of the ongoing overdigitalization of cars. Access to diagnostics and the ability to repair them yourself have suffered a lot with the introduction of EVs. Parts and

Because a car that does well on the highway is also equipped for higher speeds. You don't want an engine that redlines at highway speeds so it's geared down, but that means you have headroom. You don't want tires or suspensio

Early alexa devices also have power supplies that are rated at 5.2V, those could be an alternative. I also had a good experience with a 30W oneplus warp charger after some power issues with cheap 5V2A ones.

I'm pretty sure schedulers are just black magic and anyone who doesn't work directly with them is unqualified to make statements like these.

It's a numbers game. You can't convince everyone, but lobbyists are generally good at their job and know how to find people with malleable opinions. I don't think there's a topic where lobbying doesn't work to at le

> Cars are required to be online for an emergency call in case of accident. Does that mean online as in internet connection or just GSM?

by nottheengineer 3y ago
Ah yes, becoming a mechanic and building your own car is the solution. For the people who can do it it's great, but most just can't. I can barely change my tires, how would I swap an entire drivetrain and rewire the whole thing?

They sent out a warning to every single one of their users about this. It's that big of a deal. But unfortunately it's not as big a deal as microsoft's other fuckups.

The ones that want a DE that works exactly how they like it. I quickly lose my focus from having to deal with even the most minor annoyances and KDE lets me change the little things very easily.

Desktop mode is KDE on X. In that case your comment is true, steam will just run on KDE. Game mode is a wayland session with gamescope as a WM, but it isn't controlled directly by the user. The steam client controls the WM and exposes

And it just works without any tinkering. Maybe that part is more important than the choice of DE. I'm partial to KDE myself, but honestly anything with a sensible panel is usable.

The spotify app has become so ridiculously bad I can't use it anymore. I found out about Zotify [1], which can rip my entire collection from spotify. The API rate limits anything faster than real time listening though, so it'll ta

I definitely noticed the driver issues increasing as my GPU got older. On windows I spent hours looking for driver versions that work with all my games and then didn't update for months. If it wasn't for AI, I'd upgrade to AM

What are you running exactly? I haven't been able to get a 144hz + 60hz setup working with KDE on X. The main monitor just doesn't want to do 144hz, even if I disable the other one via xrandr. My 1070 Ti has me afraid of wayland b
