If ARPU for Google Search is estimated to be around $50-$80 per internet user and potentially way more in certain geographies, there could be significant financial savings to be had by switching to Kagi depending on where you sit.
I always wonder how things would be reconciled if something similar happened to a bank. What would be the simplest way to ‘download’ one’s balance whilst proving that the downloaded files were signed by the bank?
So does this appointment signpost a likely industry-wide token squeeze requiring Benanke’s specific domain knowledge to navigate?
I call them Bit Shepherds
well, they also needed the initial release to facilitate a 'speed bump' in the new release, so perhaps!
I purchased Mudita Kompakt phones for my kids when they started secondary school. There has been some pushback but overall it’s been a success.
The fact that they occasionally forget to take it with them or they leave it downstairs when they go to bed, makes me comfortable that it doesn’t have addicting properties.
And, because it’s android any apps demanded by school can easily be side loaded.
Looks like it's resolved now.
And e) although more relevant for wing mirrors, you can also move your head around to change/increase the field of view if needed. Try doing that with a camera + screen.
Totally agree, as an iPhone user it’s literally the only ‘innovation’ that would make me lust after a new device.
I also have fond memories of gallo pinto in Costa Rica from 1997 but when I describe it to family they just look at me blankly in mild disgust. Would love to know what the secret sauce is.
That’s if they pretend to stream the music. If they are using throwaway free accounts I imagine they can download the DRM-stripped files much more quickly.
Email bubbles? Rookies.
(you know you can make those bubbles go away?!)

To support that, it looks like music festival attendance is going up over the years.
This isn't global nor is it specific dance music but at least in the UK, festivals are struggling and have declined significantly since the beginning of covid - 204 festivals have disappeared since 2019: https://www.aiforg.com/blog-database/72-uk-festivals-cancell...
In a similar vein, I was delighted to discover that my rather elderly Audiolab M-DAC (used as a pre-amp) exposes its master volume control over USB digital input when plugged into a RPi.
Although I don't use USB for audio (rather buggy) the control interface works perfectly.
I duly created a websockets API that allows me to remotely control the volume over wifi via a phsyical rotary controller. Allows me to conceal all the hifi equipment in a cupboard upstairs but remotely control it from a knob downstairs in the kitchen.
Like the OP I also implemented volume limits to prevent accidental damage to the speakers (primarily from twiddles by little fingers)....works a treat!
Indeed, far more damage caused than any actual malware!
Jevon’s paradox?
But it has the air of the banal. For something supposedly so creative it seems to totally lack....creativity. I suppose 100% in keeping with a tech company's vision for what a computer desktop should look like.
Now that’s what I call a productivity hack!
I do agree it's very zen using zed.
As you say the interface is elegant and distraction free by default, no twiddling required to get a happy place.
So far I've only used it for my personal projects and don't yet have full muscle memory, but weirdly even the keyboard shortcuts seem more intuitive.
They are indeed hypnotic to use, cheap and quite practical.
The trouble is I've never been able to get coffee to taste as good out of one of these compared to almost any other method of making coffee - eg. filter, espresso, French press. I'm not sure whether it's my technique, the grind I use, or something intrinsic to the process itself.
Or even something like this https://thepihut.com/products/adafruit-rotary-trinkey-usb-ne...
There’s a widely quoted myth that the UK’s ‘dig for victory’ campaign during WWII deemed a standard allotment plot (~250m2) sufficient to feed a family of 4.
And Safari on MacOS. It occasionally gets into a state where it becomes unresponsive to clicking on links.
It does look cool, but I do find the 'Carbon removed' ticker slightly misleading. In what way does this reflect carbon removed? Surely carbon added to the atmosphere is broadly proportional to the total value of sales.
Or worse a scam because it drives additional exploitation that would otherwise be uneconomic without government subsidy.

It has had an incredible amount of mainstream media attention around the world in the last couple of days so it’s hardly surprising. That said, it did cross my mind that dark forces or a disgruntled employee might be at work.
With Apple having moved to Arm there are definitely ecosystem benefits brewing too. I can run a Debian VM out of the box with UTM, compile an Arm64 package using standard Linux toolchain and have it run directly on a RPi. It's like having a supercharged RPi development environment with me all the time.
It obviously doesn't cover the why of Sahara's greening, but for anyone who has access to BBC iPlayer, the following programme [1] has a nice summary of humanity's journey out of Africa.
It's amazing that the majority of the world's population is descended from the couple of hundred individuals that left during one of these greening periods.

Here in the UK I think some of those unlicensed squirrel electricians are beginning to retain in fibre broadband installations. My neighbour was ‘disconnected’ last week.
