Plex app is better, but still inadequate compared to Infuse.

I’m quite sure that server set cookies are the norm for authentication, at least where they are set from the server side.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to only produce 500 items, instead of producing 1k, and throwing half of it away?

Practically all consumer Zigbee devices only support 2.4GHz. You would need to go for ZWave for the sub-GHz range.

Also, it's not like 860-930 MHz (depending on the country) is without interference.

I've been thinking about building my own NAS as well. Mind sharing how much did you pay for those hard drives, and what motherboard did you choose?

Docker Desktop's memory saver shuts down VM when containers are not running.

Additionally, Docker/Podman/Orbstack start a single VM, where memory is shared between containers.

On the other hand, Apple Containers create a separate VM for each container, which results in higher memory usage due to Linux kernel overhead, as well as the fact that kernel will try to use most of the available memory for file caching.

FYI Apple Passwords supports exporting of items including Passkeys, which can be then imported in e.g. Bitwarden.

The issue here is not that they didn't test on alternative distributions of Android, the issue is that they went out of their way to prevent anything but the officially blessed distributions.

Can you tell more about their subpar latency?

I've been using Hetzner for many years, both personally and for business use, and I've not seen any noticeable issues regarding the latency.

Granted, my use cases are webapps/backends that are not particularly latency sensitive, and are primarily used from a few European countries.

For what's worth, I've seen cases where download speeds from Hetzner are considerably higher than from AWS eu-central-1.

Technically, here the paying customer experience was the problem, not the free trial one, because they were automatically upgraded.

Generally, you don't want to award people/companies that don't respect you. I'm not saying that you shouldn't re-evaluate them in the future, but they will walk away with the wrong lesson if you just start throwing money at them.

Do you plan to refund all previous free trial customers, who didn't contact the support, and actually paid unexpected overage fees?

Invoices are legally binding documents in many countries, and even if that might not be the case in your country, not everyone might be aware of that fact.

since it gives their AP team a real cost to work from instead of a ballpark of us vs. GitHub

Same could be achieved by showing the real cost in the web app and/or sending a report via email, without scaring them away, and possibly _extorting_ them.

Why would you want to use a provider, that resorts to shady practices, especially since there are a lot of alternatives out there?

Self-hosted runners make a ton of API calls during job execution, so they might not be completely wrong here.

Luckily for them, every OS has (at least one) native way of building applications, and with the power of AI they could easily make 3 different desktop UIs, while reusing the same core logic.

They pioneered things like iCloud Private Relay and privacy protecting cloud backups for devices.

They didn't pioneered it, they just brought it to the masses. Tor was here before the Private Relay, and most open source backup applications offer E2EE out-of-the-box.

Unless something has changed recently, Slack uses AWS Chime SDK for audio/video, so at least the core technology is great.

Is GitHub really profitable, considering how much Actions credits are given away to open source projects as well as free users? Same goes for Copilot.

It doesn't have a great cross platform support (no Linux client, and there are many complaints for the Windows client).

Personally, I dislike that you cannot restore an older version of a file on laptop/phone, and must instead use their web app, for which you need to disable ADP, which defeats its purpose.

Sharing files between apps and file management in general on iOS is atrocious.

I assumed this was a solved problem before Windows 98 (first desktop OS I used), but Apple cannot get this right 28 years later.

I'm quite sure there are many application hosting providers which rely on container runtime such as runC (default runtime of containerd/Docker), and a shared kernel between users.

You should use a separate WhatsApp account for bot purposes.

Recently, I used a separate WhatsApp account to interact with a group chat that I have with my friends. After about a week, they disabled the account, with no way to re-enable it.

Seems like it only supports x86_64. It would be nice if they offered a way to bring your own compute, to be able to work on projects targeting arm64.

The main difference is that iMessages count towards iCloud quota, whereas (most?) other messaging services have free storage.

Cloudflare Tunnel publicly exposes your services, whereas Wireguard/Tailscale are VPNs.

Tailscale (but not Headscale) offers Funnel, which is a reverse proxy, but you cannot use it with your own domain.

Pangolin is the closest alternative to CF Tunnel, but self-hosted NetBird with reverse proxy functionality can also be used.

System Settings -> Keyboard -> and toggle Keyboard navigation.

I'm not sure why this isn't the default, but this allows for UI navigation via keyboard on macOS, including Safari.

Huh? I'm not seeing any popups except the cookie banner at the bottom of the screen.

Pricing link is the second one in the top menu, and it shows all prices in a straightforward way.

European Hetzner VPSes have at least 20 TB of bandwidth, and US ones have at least 1 TB.

I don't think there is a cheaper CDN.

Unless I'm missing something, AbortSignal is quite standardized on backend as well.

Of course not all libraries support it, but many do, and support seems to be growing.

From your link:

Non-commercial use only. You agree that you will not use our Services for any commercial or business purposes and we and our Providers have no liability to you for any loss of profit, loss of business, business interruption, or loss of business opportunity.

There are separate commercial terms for Team/Enterprise/API usage: https://www.anthropic.com/legal/commercial-terms

They are supposed to be, but Disney doesn't think so: https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2026/03/av1s-open-royalty-fr...

Also, let's not forget that the majority of devices still don't have AV1 hardware decoding support. For example, Apple only recently (2023) added support with iPhone 15 Pro and M3 Macs.
