  • Drag and Drop is an absolute mess

  • I think Apple has the best sandbox UX. By default sandboxed apps have access to zero of your files. It can't even see they exist. It's only granted access to any file/directory the user manually selects through a system UI - opening through file type associations, the open/save dialogs, or drag & drop. This means that access is given seamlessly, there aren't any prompts, and the user doesn't even realize there's a sandbox. If the program wants to manage a project, just have the user select the folder and all the sub-contents are also granted.

  • Meta has discontinued its metaverse for work, too

  • What happened to Second Life anyway? All the gooners are on VRChat now and they seem to be doing fine

  • Meta Reportedly Cutting About 1,500 VR and AR Jobs Amid Renewed Push to Become an AI Juggernaut

    Jump

  • I mean I'm a big fan of VR but it's clearly been a money pit for meta, their massive investment in it is never going to pay back, they were betting on selling "metaverse" real estate rather than making money on the hardware

  • Speed test pits six generations of Windows against each other — Windows 11 placed dead last across most benchmarks, 8.1 emerges as unexpected winner in this unscientific comparison

    Jump

  • Windows 8 was where Microsoft went all-in on optimizing Windows to run on low-power tablets to compete with the iPad. It's mostly remembered for the terrible tablet-first full-screen "start menu", but also continued the work to trim away all the Vista bloat that had started with Windows 7 (where the motivation was to make it work on netbooks so they could finally stop shipping XP)

  • Article: I switched to eSIM in 2025, and I am full of regret

    Jump

  • That's not a solution. There is no other carrier that has the coverage I need.

    The problem with eSIM as a concept is that it puts too much responsibility on the carrier, and there are way too many shitty carriers out there, and with the cost of building a network and the limited amount of spectrum, mobile carriers are not a functioning free market.

  • The screen died on my wife's iPhone, fine I have other spare iPhones aplenty she can switch to. But at some point she had accepted a prompt on the iPhone to switch to eSIM so we couldn't just move a physical SIM over, you had to go through the "transfer eSIM" menus, which we couldn't do because the screen was dead. The only option the carrier gave us was going to a physical store.

    I'm never switching my main carrier to eSIM, what a PITA for absolutely no upside.

    (they're great for throwaway travel SIMs though)

  • My parents came to visit my over xmas and installed Airalo to get a local SIM. Activation failed, the support AI bot re-issued the eSIM, activation failed again, it got escalated to human support, they asked for a refund, and 12 hours later randomly the phone popped up an "eSIM activated!" message. That would have sucked if you actually relied on needing the SIM on landing.

  • Where are you running your wireguard endpoint?

  • On my (OpenWrt) router, configured using the OpenWrt interface

  • Yeah they'll log out in protest, but they'll all be back in a week or so. Happens every time.

  • Anubis is awesome and I want to talk about it

    Jump

  • Anubis was originally created to protect git web interfaces since they have a lot of heavy-to-compute URLs that aren't feasible to cache (revision diffs, zip downloads etc).

    After that I think it got adopted by a lot of people who didn't actually need it, they just don't like seeing AI scrapers in their logs.

    Can kids under 10 be possibly taught coding, without even mentioning the word syntax to them ??

    Jump

  • I learned coding at age 7-8 by messing around with the scripts of the built-in demo stacks in HyperCard. It was close enough to English that you didn't need to study syntax but could easily learn from example

  • Devices like laptops, tablets and phones, usually do not have Ethernet built in, or are too mobile to make it practical to use

    What I did in the living room was plug a USB-C dock with a 2.5 Gbit Ethernet adapter into the wall outlet with a 2 meter USB-C 3.x cable.

    So I sit down in the living room and plug in my laptop/phone in to charge when I'm using it and they automatically get a 2.5 Gbit network connection. Even iOS natively supports the common Realtek 2.5 Gbit chipset.

  • U.S. solar will pass wind in 2025 and leave coal in the dust soon after

    Jump

  • This is complete BS, I could find zero sources for that claim, and several debunking it.

    The only tangentially related thing I could find was that in colder climates, they need heat to de-ice the wings, and at one point, the power supply to a Scottish wind farm was cut off, so they put in some temporary diesel generators on-site to power the de-icing system to get the turbines going again.

  • Can I replace the SATA port inside a Lenovo ThinkCentre M900 Tiny?

    Jump

  • Have you checked the SMART value 199/0xC7 "UltraDMA CRC Error Count"? This should tell you how many checksum errors happened on the SATA interface between the CPU and the drive. If this is higher than zero your hypothesis is correct and there's something bad with the connection, if it's zero then the problem is more likely to be elsewhere.

  • Printers for Linux

    Jump

  • BTW the Brother scare about them adding DRM that was in the news a while back turned out to be false, it was just a random guy on Reddit with a bad third-party cartridge, and Brother replied that they do not block third-party cartridges.

    That said, I'm not a huge fan of their weird PPD installer on Linux that installs some random, undocumented crap

  • "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership

    Jump

  • It could even be something "innocent" about how ad-blockers have started to interact with the site as YouTube ramps up their anti-adblock measures and the ad-blockers have to change how they work. Like maybe the ad-blockers have started blocking the JavaScript callback that logs the views.

  • "Very dramatic shift" - Linus Tech Tips opens up about the channel's declining viewership

    Jump

  • Even before this drop in views, the rule was you have to watch a video for at least 30 seconds before it counts as a view, as a way to combat clickbait where people instantly bounce from a video. Maybe they have changed this further? Or they change some kind of bot detection?
