    > We used millions of p-bits

    I'm not sure how this compares to quantum with its dozens to hundreds of qubits

    Another decent read on this subject is 'Dealers of Lightning: Xerox PARC and the Dawn of the Computer Age' by Michael A. Hiltzik

    Sigh, where's my hologram hard drive?

    > If you ever wondered what this name means: vmlinuz: vm for virtual memory, linux, and z indicating compression

    Thank you. I have always wondered that.

    Switched to the free OnlyOffice a year ago and never looked back: https://www.onlyoffice.com/desktop

    > The device initially came with a default password, and SSH access was enabled using this preset password

    That alone ends my trust in the brand.

    GrapheneOS goes even further by allowing you to opt in to pre-embargo security releases, bypassing the vulnerable window between vendor disclosure and OEM patches. Awesome!

    US Verizon SIM support?

    Mostly agree but their original k-dramas for the US market are pretty good.

    h.264 has near-universal device support and almost no playback issues at the expensive of slightly larger file sizes. h.265 and av1 give you 10-bit 4K but playback on even modest laptops can become choppy or produce render artifacts. I tried all three, desperately wanting av1 to win but Jellyfin on a small streaming server just couldn't keep up.

    This cracked me up:

    > a de facto ban on the use of these services as comprehensive Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) solutions whenever particularly sensitive or legally confidential personal data is involved. For the most part, authorities will likely only be able to use applications like the widespread Microsoft 365 as online storage

    Since when is Microsoft 365 the bastion of modern privacy?

    > nothing a skilled dev can't work around.

    Agreed. Loved this FAQ notice:

    "If you don't have the time to at least skim through the documentation and you plan to solely rely on some AI tool, then please do NOT use PocketBase!"

    I agree. A bunch of platforms use CGNAT, like Tailscale: https://tailscale.com/kb/1015/100.x-addresses

    Agreed. Reading that article in dark mode still made my eyes hurt.
