I was expecting a mention of all the repositories that are popping up primarily developed by AI prompts. The UI and the READMEs are full of the typical patterns (emojis, gradient/glow CSS effects, em-dashes, etc) and seem just-put-together-enough to slap up an r/selfhosted post and gain a few dozen stars on GitHub.

In short: land covenants. In HOAs you will see titles containing terms about the property being subject to restrictions voted for/applied by the association. If you continually decline to adhere to the restrictions, you can be legally compelled to sell and move on.

Note: I'm using phrasing local to me, I expect there may be minor differences but the same gist.

As an enterprise Microsoft customer, you are treated to the same group policies as everyone else, with one difference that you can reduce OS telemetry collection to “Basic”.

There is no way to go radio silent without ring-fencing the OS within the network.

It’s not a numbers game anymore, it hasn’t been for decades.

Both/neither, I would suggest. Offloading manufacturing reduces risk, but requires you to have better oversight in other areas before actually shipping.

From what I've seen, businesses will often hire someone with specific experience dealing with Chinese manufacturers in their specific vertical, for example PCBs/electronics, tooling like injection molds, or textiles.

I was rubbed the wrong way with that line too, such claims usually set off red flags, but the OP appears to not write English natively so they might have legitimately missed out some tempering.

e.g. "AsmBB focuses on security in its design and reduced reliance on dependencies."

I'm not a fan of the manufacturer dubbing these "Magic Balls", when "sensor spheres" or even "Neuron" from the original article linked in this thread, is more than sufficient. We're not trying to appeal to home consumers here. Maybe it's for politicians...

Cool project though, transmission costs account for a large proportion of energy delivery.

As good as Steam might be, it’s still required for the games you purchased to run, and that doesn’t align with some people. You own your games on Steam as much as you own your music on Spotify. So priacy is still alive and well, and a lot of the arguments I see for it is stripping DRM and ownership.

I prefer Steam over other platforms because multiplayer is effortless, with a friend or at a LAN party that means means more time actually playing the game. But if it’s not on Steam or not everyone can afford it, we’re probably playing a cracked, portable copy.

Up to a certain point it's not much of an issue, but I had to re-read several sentences and I'm fairly capable of following written text. It's also an accessibility thing, screen-readers and dyslexics might have trouble interpreting the text.

I support bringing it up when it's frequent enough to cause frustration. Putting some effort once into the writing - typing correction occurs almost effortlessly on almost any device these days - benefits every reader.

I was about to respond to a comment that got flagged about this. A lot of this opinion I suspect stems from platforms like TikTok where non-psychiatrists are able to perpetuate the stereotype that ADHD is a "quirky", surface-level trait that makes for a neat partner/employee/friend.

Your experience is a common one, and ADHD is both under-diagnosed and badly represented, making for a toxic perception which some of the crowd here doesn't seem immune to.

Project Farm, a YouTube creator that faces various brands of tools off against each other, has purchased an early (but apparently production) release of one of these. In a recent comment on one of his videos he’s stated he aims to have a video of ratcheting screwdrivers including this one out in a few days.

I’m optimistic given the attention to detail portrayed in this video, and the fact that Linus displays a passion for quality workmanship in his reviews of other products.
