Bron (or The Bridge) is a good swedish crime drama that is a little bit older.

Damn, I am only at a ratio of like 10 from some season packs of Chuck and The Mentalist. 565 is crazy!

I have had accubattery for my phone’s duration and Sony have the feature that you can force stop charging at 80%. In the past 3.5 years with the phone, I have charged 1 814 046 mAh in that time. Assuming avg 3.8V (not hitting too much or CV with 80%) and my local price of 0.32€/kWh, that is only 2.14€ over 3.5 years.

Phones are absolutely crazy efficient.

I mean, jellyfin is absolutely even.more of a security nightmare than Plex, with multiple unfixed CVEs IIRC (software, not website or forum)

I use jellyfin also, but I only trust it not exposed to the internet at all. That is one very big area of improvement for them.

That and subtitle syncing.

IKEA is both a good and bad company.

They have done a fair amount for sustainability, they have mastered good, visual instructions (despite what people may say about IKEA assembly, they have some of the clearest instructions in the world), they try hard to move in a sustainable direction.

Of course, they are a megacorporation now, they are deforesting Romania through sheer demand (though I think they are re-seeding, but there are monoculture problems there). They ushered in an era of shit, composite industrial wood chip production such that now, for things like kitchens and bathrooms, even if you pay 200% more than IKEA for your kitchen or bathroom by a better quality supplier, it is still made of the same wood composite material, just with a better finish and tighter tolerances.

It is impossible to get new, actual wood cupboards, wardrobes, drawers, etc… in much of Europe anymore because of the trend they popularized. Of course, you can go to boutique carpenters if you have literally unlimited money to pay €50k-€80k for a kitchen in actual wood, but otherwise you have to have the tools and expertise to do it yourself.

All that being said, they have talented design and engineering teams that have simplified fasteners and flatpacking to be so economical and usable. Their wood vaneers are thicker than traditional vaneer and are quite decent quality compared to earlier finishes. They make very good systems, actually think through space-constrained design and make living in the middle class, especially on the low end, not feel as if you are living in poverty. Not to mention that their design standardizations and storage systems have been wildly successful in the open source 3D printing community.

Personally, I think they are a net negative on the industry, but a net positive on peoples’ lives which not that many corpos can say, and haven’t been found supporting fascist politics monetarily, so that is already a huge step up from most corporations. I give them tentative support.

I agree I have had some chamfer and fillets trouble that even wasn’t there before (a not-completely-tangent arc cutout from a square exposes this clearly) and will cause faces to shoot to “random” positions. Things can get wonky also because the Topological Naming Problem isn’t 100% gone, but a model getting messed up is not the same as crashing.

Still haven’t had a single crash in 1.0.2.

I was already a long time KISS launcher user after the sale (long time nova user)

Recently discovered Kvaesitso and I have fully switched! It is just a bit more featureful than KISS while still being very clean and now when people use my phone for something, they can actually find apps too which is nice.

That is pretty expensive nowadays, if OP wants to go that expensive, getting a mini PC with the latest intel N150. The pi 5 doesn’t even have hardware AV1 decoding. By the time you have all of the pi accessories, it is not much of a price difference, but defi itely a performance difference.

Plus you get benefits like actual storage instead of a separately bought SD card, more RAM, 2.5G ethernet, and HDMI2.1 & USB–C displayport.

Then you slap Linux on it (and also hope that plasma bigscreen is a success in the near future) and you have a very reliable 4K HTPC that can decode anything you throw at it. It has enough horsepower to be a home server at the same time, unlike a pi while also having just a bit higher idle power usage (2W or so).

And I still can only get 0 like, 0 comment shaky cam video of a screen capture of ultra zoomed in tiktoks or blasting shitty electronika music at 100dB clipping all to hell with 2005 era Microsoft visualizer videos.

Just like pixelfed, there is no way to discover anyone except the same 10-12 rotation of people they put in explore.

I come back every month or two and swipe through 5-10 to see if anything has changed, but it never has. In the case of loops, the same number of creators, some of which haven’t posted a video for almost 8 months are “trending”? Maybe that is where the “active users” number comes from?

Except that proton released their LLM AI so maybe they will start doing that?

Sure

People haven’t caught on to the grift yet. One of the people in the committee who runs the tariff decisions literally runs a financial/law institution that since the tariffs started, has been contracting with companies to pay a portions (10, 20, 40%) of the tariffs to “ease the load on the companies” but they retain the rights, in the case of what is going on i.e. tariffs being recalled and paid back, to take 100% of the tariff payback.

So a government official is steering the tariff policy to essentially steal money from companies with some alight risk of the tariffs not getting overturned. Crazy grift.

Personally I think opensuse tumbleweed is a great “little bit of everything” and you don’t have to worry about full system upgrades.

Is this similar to Wero as a back end or different parts of the process?

Cool project!

A ton of aesthetic effort for a simple Dev board + enclosure and a vibe coding project, especially since arduino already has libraries for MQTT, speakers, etc… Photo displays & animations galore lol.

Injection molding is much more of an art than simply CNCing a negative of your part and squirting some plastic in it. There is a reason that injection molding services often have around a 1000€ startup & molding fee.

Plus a custom PCB means FCC/CE certification generally.

That’s true, but the vast majority of hear with those high BTU woks literally just go completely around the side and heat up the air around the wok and is not transferred to the pan. They are just the only good way to give high, encompassing heat on all sides.

BTU output transferred to the pan is likely similar.

Everyone will claim it is the hardware, but we can see from cheap phones that a majority of people actually get outside of the US that it doesn’t matter as much.

It was never a complete phone after 5 years. It never had the software to actually use it as a daily driver. Calling still “doesn’t work all the time” according to users and similar with texting. If your phone literally can’t be trusted to make a simple call and receive a text out of the box, then it won’t be bought to be used as a normal phone. That’s as simple as it gets.

It has just been relegated to being a fun side experimental phone for enthusiasts, but you can’t have a company-carrying product like that because the consumer base is too small to fund the software development.

They also specifically say

While in the future the PinePhone Pro will be able to serve as your daily-driver smartphone, at present the PinePhone Pro should be considered a development platform.

On the store, which further discourages consumers.

Building a smartphone OS and all the features needed is an extremely expensive task, so it is completely understandable that it has gone at a snails pace.

Some higher end induction cooktops in the EU are three-phase power around 400V like the Bosch PXX975DC1E which uses 11kW max. Not sure what btu output that is though.

Open source Obsidian notes application.

The second brain part comes (I think) from the zettelkasten method of brain dumping all of your thoughts, notes on things you learn, etc… "On paper” in order to organize it and not lose it.

It is often recommended (along with to-do lists) for people with ADHD, and good for people like me with bad short-medium term memory.

Defense contracting.

They do a a good amount of of military industrial contracting and work for 3 letter agencies on data processing/ high performance computing.

They also got awarded government funding in 2024 to build logic chips for the military in-country.

Not enough to sustain the company, but such “sensitive” programs may not be allowed to show up in revenue reports or have to be assigned to other areas or so.
