I don’t understand the mindset of people who buy these things in the first place. Occasionally there’s an article like, “guy’s entire house suddenly inoperable after Amazon ban,” people just don’t think that will happen to them? It is local control on a standardized protocol or nothing for me.

I have plenty of capacity to hate both.

Do you hear anything about how those people pay for the VPN, or does that not come up?

I also started on Ubuntu. They used to be pretty great, good device support and basically no hassle. But I am done af and not going back.

Oh, thank you. Damn, you hate to see it.

Christians are remarkably inconsistent about what is natural and good or unnatural and bad.

I want to see the jail time when they knowingly commit fraud which harms people more than the cost of the product. I’d like to see jail time for wage theft, too.

Good start but still not enough.

What is the left-wing extremism in this case?

I watched this review to check him out after writing that. I think he’s pretty great. YouTube is fucking awful, I’ll have to catch him somewhere else.

I love the dumb little form factors those guys do. The only thing stopping me is that I know it is overhyped bullshit which I will be bored of in a week. If it were easy to develop my own software to completely replace what’s on it I might be convinced.

This is the second time I’ve read about this specific reviewer having a sane perspective on way overhyped gadgets. Sounds worth checking out. I’m used to videos being completely worthless because they are usually trying to get product affiliate money and YouTube ad revenue at the same time.

Pay for the car and subscribe to the batteries sounds like a CEO’s wet dream.

You don’t want to subscribe to the heated seats you already paid for? Looking forward to the near future where they replace the ignition with a card reader so you can do micropayments based on how long you use your own vehicle.

Tesla valuation is beyond comprehension, I don’t want to touch it.

Damn, same, nuked Traefik when v2 broke the setup I spent hours trying to figure out. I don’t think the concepts are overwhelming, but something is profoundly wrong with their documentation habits. Now someone in the comments here is saying v3 changes the way paths are read with regex? Lol, fuck Traefik, never again.

Anecdotally I mostly hear that the cross-platform code doesn’t work so you end up needing to write platform specific implementations of everything anyway. But in Flutter. And it is harder to hire good talent for.

A lot of debs add services to systemd, do those just skip that part?

That attack surface is not vanishing. It’s would be relocating the same attack surface to something that might have an xz library in memory.

If we could get an LLM that uploads all our data along with an ad server in our desktop apps, then we’d really have something going.
