as it was the case in Baltic states since forever. Payments with CC came much later.

there is another differences between Apple monitors vs the rest. - standard and peak brightness[1]. All of them are less bright, than Apple's monitors. I'd really wanna know why.

MSI - 1400 nits, LG - 1250 nits, Apple - 2000 nits. That's peak brightness, standard brightness isn't even mentioned, except for Apple one. Is it just cooling or something more?

would you mind sharing your library of HIGs?

my exact experience, and AI is especially fragile when you are starting new project from scratch.

Right know I'm building NNTP client for macOS (with AppKit), because why not, and initially I had to very carefully plan and prompt what AI has to do, otherwise it would go insane (integration tests are must).

Right know I have read-only mode ready and its very easy to build stuff on top of it.

Also, I had to provide a lot of SKILLS to GPT5.3

Also I'd add this question, why do so many developers and sysadmins think, that cloud companies always hire competent/non-lazy/non-pissed employees?

After every time I read "save effort with Electron", I go back to Win2K VM and poke around things and realize how faster everything is than M4 Max, just because value is value, and Electron saves some effort.

I do have an Apple ID, which was banned due to fraud and customer support couldn’t do anything about.

The thing is, that account was just used for dev. things for the US company, which builds/sells software for the US federal government (among the other US entities).

It would not be very wise to do fraud.

wouldn't it be faster/safer to upgrade to latest django/python rather than rewrite it in React/Go?

given the current state of things, I'd take that slow boot over anything else ;)

Just got back from another flight, where my seat was in the middle of airplane (3 set of rows). No issues whatsoever. One thing I’ve noticed, if I press AirPods harder, I do start hearing hissing in my ears.

The CPM difference in US vs. rest of the world is huge. If Albania has cpm near zero, it's not worth to show ads there.

I did sit on both sides (one flight was next to wing) - did had same issue both times.

One thing that was common- I was sitting in a window seat.

If I ask something in Lithuanian, EuroLLM will reply in Latvian lol.

I have to specifically tell something like this: “do you known Lithuanian language”, then it starts replying in Lithuanian

Lithuanian and Latvian are Baltic languages. Nothing to do with Slavic...

I keep hearing this since I've got my first Pentium 1 PC, that storage is cheap.

I've yet to understand the point of OLED, if it sits at 400nits. All Apple's devices from iPhone to Studio Display are brighter, some of them are much much brighter even with OLED :/
