Regular reminder that if you just need a remote to collaborate with others and don't need stars commit graphs and all that social coding aspects, you can just host your git repo yourself on any cheap VPS.

Vanity private keys

Too bad the software is going to be dogshit. Maybe it'll work in the beginning when they need to show it off to people a lot but will degrade into an absolute dumpster fire later. Like happened with Quest3. Or their sunglasses.

I had Meta Raybans for a while and liked them. Always refusing firmware updates. Everything I needed worked fine, normal headset for listening podcasts on walks, taking occasional picture, that's all I need! In this use case battery lasted a week outside of its case. Until recently it started prompting me with voice to update the glasses urgently every half an hour. And I did (to version 128, hey, even number!) and oh boy, Meta AI this Meta AI that everything is Meta AI can't do anything without it. Battery is drained in less than a day of me not wearing them, bluetooth audio breaks up all the time, connection getting lost. I was perfectly happy with the product and they had to ruin it to shove their AI garbage down my throat.

They recently added Meta AI sidebar to WhatsApp which you can't turn off.

So, hope you like Mark's AI because you'll sure have to use it with these.

The current XReal models are very underwhelming. Very narrow FOV more or less equivalent to using a 27" monitor, lots of fuss with the cable, switching sound to headphones because the built in speakers are garbage. Issues with HDR support.

Plays really well but it is very yucky.

FWIW, had similar issues on M2 Max MacBook Pro and they did fix it eventually, in macOS 26. It only took 2-3 years.

btw if it happens often, check your cable, try a different one

Glad there are free alternatives now. When I switched to SteerMouse after getting fed up with Logitech I removed everything Logi Options had on my system. It freed almost 6Gb! Granted, most of it were different versions of the app that it was downloading, updating but never deleting the previous ones for some reason. But still, for a mouse driver that's excessive.

Rookie numbers :) I know people whos pushing 1TB, mine is almost 500GB. I back it up to a mechanical HDD every now and then.

But OP says they tried different SD card readers. And, now that Macbooks have SD card readers and every desktop dock and type c dongle thing has one, who even uses the camera to transfer photos?

It's a shame APFS does nothing to ensure file integrity.

I got a pretty decent chromebook on eBay for 70 euros. With pretty good display, keyboard, touchpad, touchscreen, 8Gb of RAM and a battery. Runs linux great. Apparently chromebooks dominate education market nowadays, very inexpensive and arguably more useful than a Raspberry pi.

Recently it took me 7 re-submissions to get an app through app review. The reason? I was using a third-party SDK! One reviewer figured that the SDK is contained in the app and this means it counts as content. And any third-party content requires a written and signed agreement with me personally which for an open source code from github I obviously didn't have. I was trying to explain the situation but each consecutive reviewer was just copying and pasting the same rejection. The process is just so broken.
