Nice! Curious about the approach, seems like it's boxedwine running in the browser? emulating x86 I assume?

Wdym? There's a "Privacy by design" section:

> You’re in charge of what gets captured, and a glowing indicator light lets others know when you’re recording. We prioritize on-device processing, so you’re in control of permissions when third parties request camera or microphone access with internet connectivity.

I still don't know if I'd trust them, but they at least address it.

Apple Music gave me a 90 day trial as soon as this Spotify snafu started, and it imported all but maybe 50 of my 5000+ songs from Spotify without issue, including King Gizz. I haven't touched Spotify so far this month, and I think I'm going to cancel it. I would say the music discovery features on Music are worse, but I also haven't tried to use them much yet. (That, and Spotify had gone massively downhill, I'd be lucky to get one or two new songs a month I liked with their recommendation pipeline. Which is a shame, because it used to be one of the best for me.)

Regarding Z-homing being last - usually endstop positions are on Z-, not Z+, so they do a bit of a hop (2-10mm upwards Z) before the X and Y homing so they don't crash the head. If your Z endstop is on Z-, you can home that first since you know the head is out of the way.

EDIT: to be specific, this is for "bed-slinger" printers, but the concept is the same for fixed height tool head printers (eg where the bed is what's raised and lowered).

If your name or email address has non-alphanumeric characters, their entire authorization/EULA flow breaks silently. I had to use an old email to get it to work.

Yep! I use it to run SolidWorks on my M1 Macbook. (They sure don't make it easy, though - one of their many EULA approval steps fails silently if you have any non-alphanuneric characters in your name or email address. Feels par for the course with bigcorp software that assumes you'll have an IT team to deal with things.)

On the bright side, the official apple adapters are $10 and have a legitimately alright DAC in them (including mic input). I picked up a couple to use with pcs and laptops since I generally have better luck with the OEM apple adapters vs the onboard audio (which usually applies weird EQ and FX - looking at you, Dell).

My theory... Being able to code well or fast doesn't one to one translate to a good end user experience. The strength of your org's ability to determine good features and iterate on them from a product perspective is what matters, and that /can/ potentially happen faster if AI is enabling faster development, but it's not guaranteed.

Even if we had a magic box that results in perfect code coming out every time for a given feature description, that doesn't mean the feature itself is good or well thought out.

Off, for now... Until a future windows update post-install nag screen uses dark UX patterns to turn it on, probably as part of some other "yes, shut up, let me use my computer" button.

"Additional research revealed a hardware backdoor that allows authentication with an unknown key. Teuwen then used the new attack to obtain (“crack”) that secret key and found it to be common to all existing FM11RF08S cards."

Static key, decrypts all cards of a given model regardless of user stored keys? Yep, it's a backdoor.

I picked up a handful of "580gb" microSD cards off AliExpress recently, with the goal of using them in mp3 players around the house. I figured they'd be reject 64gb sdcards, and I was right - they averaged 50-58gb of usable storage. Perfect for writing once, reading many times, and cheaper than even 16gb legit cards. They can be useful, just know they may also die at any moment.

Game jam - like a hackathon, for games. Groups are given a theme or conditions and a short time (eg a weekend) to make a game as a challenge / for fun.

Demake - remaking a game for a more limited set of hardware. Remake normally implies increasing quality, whereas a demake is focused on cramming as much quality as possible in a much more constrained execution environment. (In this case, a PC/iOS game to a Pico-8 game.)

Being able to use VSTs outside of windows sounds fantastic! How's the latency? Would you mind sharing some details about your setup? I'd love to use my Steam Deck as a tiny VST host for live play.
