Also, these CO2 canaries are neat. We got one for our office https://a.co/d/02EKUci9

Yes in one way or another

Y'all it's been a couple decades but is it _actually_ the year of the Linux desktop now??

That seems incredibly fast for plastic to degrade like that. I wonder if you could have something generating ozone in there.

How organizations would pay for Workday baffles me. It is the worst company software I've ever used. It would regularly lose data that managers would input so the best practice amongst EMs was to never put data directly into Workday but instead keep copies elsewhere and only input it into Workday at the last moment. Then if Workday decided to drop your performance feedback you could just paste it again.

It must be really really really good for the HR decision makers though?

Can confirm. It's like they actively try to make it terrible.

I got bit by this exact seller on Amazon earlier this year. "New" drive had SMART power-on time of 25371 hours.

* I reported it to Amazon's fraud team (with evidence): No response

* I wrote the seller a bad review (also with evidence!): Taken down by Amazon

there's for example Linux-specific software which puts the WiFi card in promiscuous mode and does useful stuff with that

In the past, I've made this specific thing work with USB passthrough, Virtualbox, and external USB WiFi adapters with monitor mode support.

GPUs back in the day were only for gamers. Now they are for increasing your ai b2b saas arr.

I have a Bambu X1C and a Prusa MK3.9S (mostly upgraded MK3S).

The Bambu is incredible at PLA. It is so fast and consistently perfect. The 0.2mm nozzle makes unreal detail small parts. But I struggle to do other materials with it like TPU, PETG, ABS.

The Prusa takes generally whatever material I throw at it and does a great job just using the PrusaSlicer built in profiles. It's also the minimum viable printer -- it's 80% as good as the Bambu but a fraction of the complexity. I am 100% confident I could keep it running indefinitely where the Bambu is mostly proprietary parts and software.

Be warned, there are fraudulent sellers on Amazon that sell used drives from this list as new. For example, I ordered two of these drives https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07KPL474H. They were both sold as new and arrived in sealed anti-static bags. First one was DOA and the second one's SMART data showed power-on hours of ~3 years!

I reported to Amazon and wrote a review but they took my review down for calling it fraud.

...fastest compute no matter watt

The more redneck version of this I did as a kid was capture the flag in Walmart

Totally fine to give citations to driverless cars, but can we also start issuing citations to human drivers again too? Its pretty wild out there

Purchased! I've recently been poking around with two audio-related esp32 things I might use this for: Home Assistant Assist via ESPHome, and audio streaming with esp-adf (Espressif's official audio development framework). Excited to try out your board! With the high quality DAC I'll probably end up making this into an audio streamer board for our office.

While SFPD has recently met its Vision Zero target of issuing half of the traffic citations for the top five causes of collisions, it appears that this is largely a result of fewer citations overall — not an increased commitment to Focus on the Five enforcement, Mandelman’s office said.

Ugh incentives y'all.

I bike commute in SF and haven't seen any traffic enforcement at all since before COVID. I see a moving violation of some sort nearly every single day I bike (usually running red lights or right turn on red where prohibited by big glowing signs).

Apparently SF is issuing 10x fewer tickets than before COVID and 100x fewer tickets than 10 years ago: https://web.archive.org/web/20240518142347/https://www.sfchr...

They definitely were still a thing into the 90s

Update 10:17 AM EST: When contacted by Gizmodo, Dante Lentini confirmed that the video was a “skit” that he made with friends and that he wasn’t arrested.

Best way to prevent piracy is to not let anyone use your software!

This was my experience. Before the M1 Pro/Max I needed to do some Apple Silicon porting for a project, so I bought the low end M1 MacBook Air with 8GB of RAM. It was amazing how well it kept up, and was generally much more snappy than my older Intel Mac with 16GB RAM. I hadn't had <16GB of RAM in years. I didn't expect it to, but it became my daily driver for several months until the Max came out.

Godspeed GitHub infra folks!

Nailed it. Here's how you do some of those things with a Kindle: https://www.nytimes.com/wirecutter/blog/best-kindle-accessor...

Also no glasses/contacts if your vision prescription isn't too intense.

I cannot upvote this enough

Simpler and smaller to just use two screens.

Any interest in hacking on sol reader with us?

The only particularly cutting edge tech on this thing are the custom pancake lenses. Same optics style as in the Vision Pro and Quest 3. Those are $$$

Feature not a bug :)

Working on more, but nothing exists off-the-shelf for >300ppi eink. No one has ever done eink under magnification like this so higher density screens don't exist (yet). We made a custom bitmap font system and font to squeeze every bit of optimization out of this screen that we can. Text rendering isn't pristine at this low res but it's good enough to not hinder reading. https://x.com/johnboiles/status/1715136868290081104?s=20
