8GB RAM and no active cooling would be miserable.

Mac Mini is the best bang for buck at the moment. I have an M1 Air as well, but if I'm away from my desk and doing anything that would push the SOC hard, I remote into my Mini.

Do you think the billions spent disappear into space? It pays the salaries of everyone involved so they can eat.

Love it when it forgets the Mac apps exist, and launches Maps or Calendar in phone mirroring. I use mirroring a fair bit, but never for anything where I have the Mac app installed.

Ye some of the weirdest issues I've fixed have been PSU related.

I had a PC come to me that would boot fine, but if you opened the CD drive it'd shut off instantly.

Ye, kick off into some higher-level language instead of being at the mercy of your CI provider's plugins.

I use Fastlane extensively on mobile, as it reduces boilerplate and gives enough structure that the inherent risk of depending on a 3rd-party is worth it. If all else fails, it's just Ruby, so can break out of it.

> Why is it push to enter, pull to exit at all?

So that in an emergency your escape route can't be blocked. Also having doors swing out into corridors is bad practice as you're more likely to open it into someone walking past.

And those stupid stylised "fonts" that create problems for screenreaders by using obscure Unicode characters.

I thought that as we're seeing issues with LON, but their Manchester POP is also down and that didn't have any maintenance this morning.

My guess would be those are going into the rumoured OLED models coming out next year.

You can't put one app on top of another, so that mitigates at least the 1st stage of this kind of attack.

USB4 is supposed to have proper labels: https://www.pcworld.com/article/2602229/better-usb-labels-ar...

I don't know if that necessarily helps though, because I've seen USB3 cables that seemingly have the bandwidth and power capabilities, but won't do video.

And again in 2010, although as far as I'm aware this was just based on speculation and it was never proved that it was intentional, or that the optimisation would have netted the gains the author said: https://web.archive.org/web/20250325144612/https://www.realw...

Yeah there was this the other day, although I'd expect the hardware for this is much smaller than is shown in the photos in the OP: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=45294766

They are getting rid of comingling which should reduce some of the counterfeiting problems: https://www.geekwire.com/2025/after-years-of-backlash-amazon...

What do you use to interface with Qwen?

I have LMStudio installed, and use Continue in VSCode, but it doesn't feel nearly as feature rich compared to using something like Cursor's IDE, or the GitHub Copilot plugin.

I'd be surprised if Sony Ericsson didn't have a patent on it, because that was exactly how the numeric keypad worked on their early smartphones. They were resistive displays though, so they just required something hard on the back to register a touch.

A later model had the firmware dumped via the piezo speaker http://www.ipodlinux.org/stories/piezo/

The browser version tends to lag behind the native one by quite a bit, and has some really annoying restrictions.

For a long time you couldn't use your microphone in Firefox.
