Apparently he also has a MASSIVE backlog of scheduled posts, so it's possible the queue hasn't caught up yet

> Gaming is a license game, not a hardware game.

Gaming is also a software support game.

Especially in the last few years, preservation has been a big topic. Gamers want their purchases to keep working in the future, not being broken by an OS update as it often happens with macOS (compared to Windows)

GDPR only covers PII, this is a randomly generated ID that changes on every install on the OS.

You can mix it with other info to track a user, but it's not enough to de-anonymize someone on its own.

> (weird ID, by the way. 16-digits makes sense, but I would have expected it to be hexadecimal)

it's the decimal representation of a 64 bit integer

Why not both?

We still need rotating mass to keep the grid stable, which means either building giant flywheels, keep burning gas or bring nuclear into the mix.

One of these can also produce a ton of energy when needed, the other two cant.

We can and should build more renewables, but we can't risk grid stability!

You can use a Python library/tool to control them (https://github.com/sbidy/pywizlight), which means Home Assistant supports them out of the box.

In my setup I have Home Assistant running on an N100 mini PC and that's what I use as an HomeKit bridge.

If possible I'd use ZigBee or Z-Wave bulbs (or even better, switches) though.

I was worried it was that WiZ, luckily it's not Their bulbs are one of the few WiFi bulbs that don't require an app to operate (only for the initial configuration)

IMO only the first season was really good, while the second one was very bad, I almost wish they had cancelled it after the first instead.

That wouldn't feel very idiomatic - you can do it but would feel wrong

At first reading the title I thought it was a new camera in the FX line (along the FX-3 and FX-30) and I was very confused to say the least

That's your bias and not the language fault, everything works pretty much the same across every OS, I haven't developed non-UI C# apps on Windows since 2018 (because of course you need Windows to build WinUI and WPF apps, but you have options on macOS and Linux too)

> That's basically modern-day Java, with Lombok and other tidbits.

I wouldn't call Lombok "modern", more like "a terrifyingly hacky way to tackle limitations in the language despite the unwillingness to make the language friendlier" and a far cry from what source generators can do in C#

.NET Core 1.0 was released cross-platform 8 years ago though, there's a ton of new devs for who it has always been cross-platform
