I think it's 2 different end-consumers. Apple targets "watch on my arm", garmin targets fitness tracker that happens to do a few watch things (notifications, payments, some limited messaging).

Idk, if you check the profiles of the people posting, these would be pretty expensive shills. I genuinely think it's just happy customers. And to pile on, I switched to Garmin a few years ago after a pixel watch and a galaxy watch, and

Does alice "own" alice.dntls after she registers it? If so, how do you prevent name squating?

For more complicated products, the fear is that this subsidy destroys all competition, and then you're dependent upon that country / company.

Stablecoins are a pretty clean solution to this. Negligible fee, sub-cent transactions supported, no need for kyc when paying. Fill up your browser periodically, and pay from an embedded wallet.

I used this [0], but it looks like it's sold out. Guessing there might be similar options available elsewhere. [0] https://www.highaltitudescience.com/products/eagle-pro-near-...

Yup. We were able to find it both times. First time it "floated" and traveled further than we expected (at one point habhub predicted it to land in Africa). This is the one we called a gas station about, and we did end up getting

We did it in the US, and filed a NOTAM with the FAA. The hardest part was figuring out how to convert what I had (we are launching a weather balloon from X, Y coords at Z time) to what they wanted (distance, direction, etc from nearest air

It's fun to see habhub in an article. ~10 years ago a group of friends and I launched 2 weather balloons for fun with a GPS logger, APRS transmitter, and a few sensors, and then retrieved it afterwards. I have a bunch of memorable expe

100% this. I would assume if any government purchased an ai company and wasn't completely hands off (which from the sound of this post, it wouldn't be), I would assume that company would fail.

Do any US states allow plug in batteries like this (I know some allow plug in solar)? The installation cost of a whole home battery is what has kept me away so far.

For me it's a mix of 2 things: 1. If I do end up traveling, I now have to deal with remembering to charge my watch while sleeping on the airplane or something 2. If I go on a camping trip, extra long hike, etc, I can end up with a dead

Interesting.. I just went through the process and passed KYC, but was told my OpenAI that I was rejected from the program. Guessing some device check rejected me.

I'm not sure inference speed is always the slowest thing for me right now. The agent is running tests, loading webpages, etc, which all take time. I don't know if a fast agent would speed things up in all cases. That said, it obvi

Yeah, 1password or keepass are both fine solutions for password managers in my mind.

I never found a comfortable way to ensure all of my accounts had more than one U2F key associated with them. I always wished there was a way to have 2 physical U2F keys, one on me, and by adding one to an account, both would work. As is, I

This is a spot where smaller orgs are getting a definite advantage (both cost and speed). If you're a company with 20 - 50 people, you can probably get away with Claude Teams instead of Claude Enterprise, and pay 10x less in ai costs.

Interesting to see, but I also think more and more usage is moving towards subscriptions, which isn't captured by this metric. (both my personal and corporate use has done exactly this)

Which limit? Weekly or 5 hour? I've been using it with hermes and some coding (with opencode), and I am getting a LOT more than one feature out of it, but the work is spread throughout the week.

Looks like I have access to gpt-5.6-terra and luna. How does one decide between gpt-5.5 and gpt-5.6-terra? Pricing is similar, but it's hard to tell if it's better..

I personally use opencode so I can swap between models and try different options. I'd say I prefer claude (fable and opus 4.8) so far, but curious to see where gpt 5.6 lands. For personal stuff, I've been pretty happy with chatgpt
