I've written a lot of powershell in my time..
PS is really powerful for Windows OS level concepts and enterprise software that have good modules (AD, IIS, Citrix). However it has so many semantics that can burn you; non-strict mode, implicit type conversion, ordered null checks [1], not to mention the amount of boilerplate in a module and the runtime overhead. At a certain scale/complexity you need to graduate to using C# and .NET.

Looks awesome, had I had something like this a year ago, I wouldn't of bought an nvidia shield. The Tizen home screen is so busy..

My nook was lightly sticky to the touch, I actually wiped it down with some cornstarch on a dish towel, it made a noticeable improvement. I do think if its too far gone though you'd be out of luck.
The kobos do look pretty nice, I might switch to that whenever my nook kicks it.

I almost bought an xteink the other week but held off due to lack of a frontlight option.
I instead resurrected my nook simple touch (2011) with this project [1] from XDA forums, its made it infinitely more usable and still has good battery life.

+1 on battery life, though it has been improving: my idle battery usage is a lot better than a year ago.

While I agree with the concerns raised in this article, I did not enjoy the writing style of it. Almost all of it feels AI generated, and is written in a very combative tone.

The thought of this didn't even cross my mind until yesterday. I previously figured the hype was primarily around marketing, but after watching this Primagen video, I have the same suspicion.

Almost bought cisco shares today, glad I didn't.
A workplace that values job security is such a motivating factor for employees that I don't think is recognized enough. At a company that conducts layoffs, it feels like you're just waiting for the next one.

If anyone is looking for a tool to actually send traffic to a tool like this, I wrote a Traefik plugin that can block or proxy requests based on useragent.

Looks like the Firefox team is requiring clearer, higher quality security reports, presumably due to AI assisted submissions. Hopefully this will be enough to not require more significant barriers for submissions.

I'll plug a similar project that I found last week, its an emulated TV Tuner (HD Homerun) of your Plex/Jellyfin content. Its great having an easy option to throw something on for background noise.

I'll plug that Chainguard has been maintaining a fork for awhile and seems to have a history with supporting forks like this: https://github.com/chainguard-forks/minio
For a web GUI, I had been using this project: https://github.com/huncrys/minio-console
I switched to rustfs this week though and am not looking back. I'd recommend it to others as well for small scale usage. Its maturing rapidly and seems promising.

The Verge had some good coverage about this, but TLDR: probably. Flagship phones may not raise in price to fully reflect it. They might cut costs elsewhere like keeping the same camera, or eat some of the cost increase in their margin.

They discussed it on the decoder podcast as well.

Yeah this doesnt seem like a unique or new issue:
