   Regarding the last point, pompyboard is very much a tablet or pointing device meant only for enthusiast osu! players from what I understand. No artist in the world needs a 8KHz polling rate tablet let alone 1KHz. Tablets from other brands are much better suited for drawing. While the basic idea of a rectangle you put a pen on is the same for artists and osu! players, the more detailed requirements are basically opposites

   Basically:

   - Pen click is useless for osu! or can just be digital, while artists would want analog pressure

   - Buttons on a pen are actively detrimental for osu! but very useful for artists

   - Smoothing on a tablet is more detrimental for osu! the more of it there is but absolutely necessary for artists

   - High polling rate is useless for artists (they would have input delay due to the smoothing they need either way) but very useful for osu!

   - Big tablets are useless for osu! players as they typically only use a 5-15cm area while they are very useful for artists

   I think the entire point of something like pompyboard is to make a tablet just for osu!, which doesn’t exist right now. Meanwhile for artists there is already a whole industry of tablets available for them

   It is, because of SynthID.

   I wonder how this compares to Skip[1]? This seems to be focused entirely on Android, as opposed not making existing iOS SwiftUI code work on Android. I assume that might lead to better apps but any practical examples?

   Would be great... what I've heard is, Apple's incredible battery life comes from the vertical integration - they make everything, the laptop, the OS... so they are able to optimize it incredibly well. Even running Linux on a Apple Silicon Mac doesn't get you the same kind of battery life because of how much work the OS does putting different components to sleep etc. (though one could argue Apple's arbitrarily making it harder for Linux by making it so much reverse engineering work to get everything to go into sleep mode!)

   > I haven't booted into Windows in over 3 months on my tower and I'm starting to realize that it's not worth wasting the space for.

   Kind of glad to read this, I went into it thinking it will be another person saying "I'll use Linux forever!" the day after installing it, similar to everyone who says their new years resolution is to work out more, then proceeds to go to the gym 2 times total :)

   (oh, and then, I noticed this is Xe!)

   For a while I’ve wanted a smartwatch that’s not too smart, and is more focused on looks… I think this might be the watch I finally keep

   Workers doesn’t require JS to serve static content though. You upload it as a static asset and it does it for you.

    Does it? The LibrePods readme doesn’t mention any special patching required on Linux but maybe I’m missing something

    Yes, deleting your encryption keys every time you close the end to end encrypted chat app is definitely a great idea

    On the other hand, there’s been a bug open to make a simple harmless change to fix this in Android for 9 months, with no response from Google other than asking for reproduction steps as far as I can tell.

    https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/371713238

    Some comments on the bug accuse Google of intentionally not fixing it to make people buy Pixel Buds instead of AirPods.

    I wouldn’t say that myself, but then again I also wouldn’t say that Apple intentionally violated the spec just to make AirPods not work on Android.

    This is still pretty much the case. There are ways to do it (i.e. adapters that sit between your HDMI cable and GPU) but it’s wonky.

    I’ve seen people do this on the router level with a proxy, with imgur being the example - all other traffic just went as normal but imgur traffic was sent through a VPN.

    However it was a very complicated setup with many parts and a home server so I would definitely like to see a proper app built around this that just handles everything for you.

    You just have to not look at your phone. I don’t mean “rotate your head away”, I mean just don’t look at it with your eyes. If your eyes aren’t looking at the phone it won’t unlock.

    I’ve heard stories of people using the Meta smart glasses to help with reduced vision, i.e. asking the LLM assistant what you’re looking at, asking it to read a label, etc. The LLM assistant can see the camera feed so it is capable of doing that.

    However things like the urgent warnings you mentioned don’t exist yet.

    Hearing about the way people with bad vision use these glasses kind of changed my viewpoint on them to be honest; for the average person it might seem useless to be able to ask an LLM about what you’re looking at, but looking at it from an accessibility standpoint it seems like a really good idea.

    This is just different syntax for nesting function calls (i.e. c(b(a(value))) becomes value | a | b | c), right? Definitely would make code more readable if this was just something in JS or a compiler where it’s the same as normally calling functions.

    Honestly this is why I like what Cloudflare is building nowadays. They aren’t just a CDN but rather they’re becoming a full on cloud, like AWS and Azure are - except their developer experience is just so incredibly better than any other cloud
