Always good to see stuff from Dmitry; his presentation (Linux/4004) at last year’s Teardown was awesome.

Well, this is Microsoft and Windows; it would be weird if it got better.

I can pour myself a bowl of cheerios. That doesn’t mean I’m easily impressed by someone else preparing a similar bowl of cereal.

Though, I have been finding a lot of utility in programs that support otherwise deprecated hardware, now that is some good slop.

Geez, did Apple CarPlay burn down your house and kill your livestock or something?

The Washington County library system is excellent; I love that one card will get you access to the entire area.

There’s certainly novelty to this, I’d love one if the price were reasonable. Direct capture, almost like a polaroid for vinyl records, no need to “develop” it.

I imagine artists could sell a super-limited (i.e. 1 copy) live recording of a show the second it ends for a premium, especially if they kept the machine on stage and personally packaged and signed it.

Neat page, though having a section for total number of devices might be useful, anything that can download a lot of data via automatic updates.

Video games are in the hundreds of gigs now. Having a faster connection than strictly necessary saves a lot of waiting, in my experience.

I reckon most folks have made a git oopsie and needed to re-clone a repo at least once in their career.

Having a “local remote” would be an awfully quick way to do that, especially in situations with no/low network connection or a flakey upstream server.

> valid AF

Nope. We already had a frigging phrase for that, and it’s “completely valid”, not “valid AF” or “cromulent” or whatever. Dumb.

Emergency broadcast is a big one, as well as location-specific information like road conditions.

The custom css is tight, love using inky blacks on my oled devices with just a single style sheet.

Agreed, it's amazing they don't crash more often, given the complexity of it all.

If we view this through the lens of the “American civil religion“, these spectacles aren’t too unlike crowds of folks gathering to witness miracles.

This might explain why Apple has so many positions open at their Beaverton office, which coincidentally is not too far from ASML and Intel.
