Even The Verge hasn’t mentioned Project Gene5is in forever.

If you just did it to scratch your own itch, then shove it up your ass and delete this post. No one wants your slop and I pity your lack of common sense.

Yeah, it’s a park… An industrial park

They hate the politics of one of the developers.

Edit: wtf. I’ve gotten downvoted to oblivion in the past for simply mentioning that Brave search has its own search index. Now I try to pass along the message of those downvoters and I get downvoted again.

I have an easier method. Get a metronome app. You can tap out your pulse and it will give you bpm. I got a FOSS one from F-Droid.

The fix to the delay issue is to make it clear to the customer that if they want it fast, they have to pay accordingly. Otherwise if they want it cheap they have to be patient.

Even if that was a vulnerability, they’re never going to steal a million phones at once

Why not both? Move to China!

Luckily Amazon has free returns. Just drop it off at Kohl’s or Staples.

Increasing standards is part of the problem. We think we need more space because we buy too much shit.

Here’s a random use case for this: retirement homes. A laptop is too unergonomic for an old person. But they don’t want to take up the space in their little apartments with a big desktop setup. They’re happy to go to a computer lab. But a shared computer introduces complication. But I have to admit it’s a pretty narrow slice of that population that is sufficiently motivated to use a computer. Also they’d be better served with ChromeOS than Windows. You could have a ChromeBox that runs by plugging in a single USB cable and plug it into a monitor with a built in hub and a normal keyboard.

I’ve thought about this dual desker problem. It always seemed wasteful lugging around a whole laptop and not really needing the battery and carrying around an extra inferior keyboard and screen.

My thought is to run off a live SSD. My idea was also to introduce a layer of virtualization and a copy-on-write filesystem with FS level syncing for backup. Then you’d have a full disk image backup so you could pick up right where you left off in a VDI if you lost the SSD.

A raspberry pi is not a serious replacement for PCs in the enterprise. There’s nothing the pi does that HP and Dell couldn’t do if they wanted. The Pi just seems cheap because it can cut corners that don’t matter to hobbyists but that enterprises would never accept.

A raspberry pi is much less powerful.

I think that refers to localStorage not cookies.

There’s also YouTube Premium which pays creators a cut that’s more than they get with the ads. I bet they need to accept ads to get a cut of that.

I have an OpenWRT One. It comes with OpenWRT preinstalled (duh) and some proceeds go to fund the project.

You would think at least each platform like Roku would have enough in their SDKs to handle the tricky bits so building each app is just an exercise in styling.

But there’s so many quirks. HBO Max struggles to understand when I’ve watched a show. If I go back to look for a new episode and there isn’t one it will start to play the last episode and then reset my watched progress to the beginning of the episode.

Woot.com has lots of refurbs around that price.

It’s part of Amazon so you can use your Prime shipping.

The point is that costs should be applied fairly so that people will make decisions that are also rational at the system level. The system isn’t rational now so fixing that will change things. You can have principles or you can maintain the status quo but you can’t have both.

If your principle is everything should be cheap you’ll say you don’t want to pay taxes and the roads will go unmaintained and you’ll pay in accidents and delays and insurance and repairs. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.
