- gman83I got one of those Google TV Streamer boxes, put a different launcher on it (Projectivy Launcher), and it's been great, no ads or anything.
- I don't know, seems like Vance hates Europe even more, especially since they're regulating his benefactor's tech investments.
- As software developers, we should perhaps refrain from criticizing aeronautical engineers' QA standards.
- AppFlowy ?
- If Google actually starts selling their TPU chips, that could potentially harm NVIDIA.
- This is a fun project - https://github.com/mausimus/ShaderGlass
- I see a lot of pessimism amongst young people. Mainly related to having spent years preparing to enter the job market and suddenly finding out their skill set is soon to be obsolete.
- Well yeah, they used this playbook with Apple as well.
- Do the people designing these interfaces not have parents/grandparents? How anyone over 50 can even see well enough to use many of these interfaces is a mystery to me. Increasing the text size usually makes the interface even more difficult to use.
- The US wouldn't be doing this if these American tech companies weren't lobbying the government hard to kill the DSA & GDPR. It seems like all regulatory enforcement is out of the window with this administration, so if they can kill the European regulations, they're free to do as they like. The scoping of the trade war as the US having a deficit with all countries by not counting services is ridiculous, it's the most important sector of the economy, and the US has a massive surplus in services.
- This dynamic is a core theme in Asimov's "Foundation." The Empire's technological stagnation is defined by its inability to create new atomic devices. They had the old ones, and they had technicians to maintain them, but the actual knowledge of how to design and construct one from the ground up had been lost to institutional rot. They could patch the old world together, but they couldn't build the new one.
- I guess if you could convince your friends & family to use something like https://friendi.ca/ it could work for you.
- Nobody is seriously advocating for a society with zero cars. The goal is simply to have a more balanced system. It's about creating towns and cities where you have the freedom to walk, bike, or take reliable public transport, so you're not forced to use a car for every single trip.
- Back when replaceable batteries were a thing I got this beast for my Galaxy Note 4 - https://blog.gsmarena.com/zerolemon-offers-10000mah-extended... ... it was ridiculous but awesome.
- I don't know Nepal's political situation, but I could imagine companies not wanting to have a potential hostage that they're directly responsible for in more authoritarian countries. Why does there have to be a contact in the country? Couldn't they have a contact outside the country?

- Wait, there are no torrent applications available for iOS? That's crazy. I use LibreTorrent on Android all the time.
- The next major "avoidable, man-made" crisis is the slow-motion implosion of the property insurance market due to climate risk.
We're already seeing insurers flee entire states like California and Florida. The domino effect is simple: no insurance means no mortgage, and no mortgage means the underlying asset is functionally worthless to anyone but a cash buyer. This isn't just a problem for individual homeowners; it's a systemic threat. Trillions of dollars in real estate collateralizing mortgage-backed securities are sitting in these increasingly uninsurable zones. It's the 2008 playbook, but the risk isn't a bad loan—it's the physical asset itself.
- I love audiobooks, but I'm a stickler for good narration. I've stopped listening to plenty of audiobooks because I didn't like the narrator. I guess it will be a long time before I can use something like this.
