Modern cars are such enshittified garbage. I was in a modern Toyota recently and every time you start it, the screen shows a "Guest mode activated" that you need to explicitly dismiss. The only way to disable this is to install some stupid Toyota app which I would never install. Then you dismiss the popup and the home screen is "Experience Drive Connect" which is some stupid Toyota subscription which I would never subscribe to. What a piece of garbage. I'd probably just disconnect the whole screen entirely.
Yeah GLM-5 has been pretty impressive when it works but the z.ai plan is unbearably slow most of the time to the point where it's effectively unusable.
Is this a common pattern to have an agent request a sandbox? I feel like I'd want the whole agent running in it's own sandbox to begin with. Firecracker does look like a decent solution for that.
Oh interesting. The datasheet for the PCM5102A says it supports line-level output with a minimum load of 1kΩ [1]. I think most headphones typically have an impedance of less than 100Ω. I'd guess the excess current results in some distortion or low volumes? It works fine in practice though?
Cool. I'd like to try something similar. Does that amplifier module drive headphones as well? What future replacement do you have in mind? Is it all low power enough to use a battery?
I recently switched to GrapheneOS and it's been great. Letting any sort of commercial entity between you and your computing just seems like a bad idea these days. Linux is top notch, self-hosting has never been easier. There's really no excuse (as a technologist at least) to subject yourself to these increasingly enshittified platforms.
As someone who works in tech for a career it's honestly a bit of an existential crisis. I actively work on a SaaS product but would never even consider paying for SaaS any more myself.
Anyone have some recommended resources for learning this stuff? I know there are commonly recommended electronics books like "The Art of Electronics" and "Practical Electronics for Inventors" but are there any resources that are focused specifically around guitar pedals? Ideally some sort of progression that introduces analog circuit basics through a set of increasingly involved projects and results in something that actually sounds good and that I would use as a musician.
Same. I have a very old iPhone stuck on an old version of iOS that's incompatible with most apps these days. In the rare case I need to deposit a check there are banks like Ally that don't have physical branch locations but still let you deposit checks via their website.
