$20 a year for a subdomain I can't control (dns records), sounds like a great deal.

Dark mode allows you to use a high brightness and contrast setup in more lighting scenarios, you can't use high brightness in the darkness if 99% of the screen is white.

Something could be said for appropriate lighting, but in the reality is your don't got to choose that all the time, and sometimes you just want to maintain the lighting situation because of another activity (maybe a baby is asleep in the same room, or you or someone else is watching a movie).

There's nothing more jarring than lighting up a dark room with your phone because you opened up something that decides to predominately use white for some reason, besides the fact it definitely uses more power on an amoled display, which most displays are hopefully moving towards.

I'm sure light mode appreciators are always on top of changing their display brightness, but I'm still curious how they deal with amoled displays.

Android has a feature that lets you limit time in specific apps to X minutes, you can set these and the app will go black and white when you approach the limit and just close when the time is up.

I found that's a good compromise to outright blocking things, because in reality you do need stimulation, but setting limits to the sources you usually get it from can be very helpful.

Instead of spending 3 hours on a clicker app (so evil) I've allowed myself 5 minutes a day, which means whenever I open it I'm going to do the most important things then close the app as soon as possible, whilst still getting the stimulation I was seeking in the first place.

Typically a vulnerability is found on an older version of the software that can be used to attain kernel level access, and a very simple hack is needed in later versions to force an upgrade to an older version of the software.

To prevent the use of older versions of the software, later versions of the software will burn fuses as they surpass versions, preventing them from ever being used again on that device.

Correct, but if the lock is trivial to defeat, you can assume people will be carrying screwdrivers / shims and whatever else is necessary to break locks.

If you need to spend 5 minutes carefully setting pins then yeah it's probably going to be safe in public.

Hey I'm really happy that you've provided an option for people to upgrade their OG arduboys with the new FX chip, but it seems I'm being charged $15 USD (same as the cost of the chip) to have it shipped to me, is there any chance to revisit the price to send the modchip to AU? :D

I miss how it was prior to the pandemic, and would happily office 5 days a week if I could get that back.

However knowing that it's never likely to be the same, as people get used to WFH and companies realise they can save a load of money without creating incentives to get people in an office, the office is going to be far less desirable.

I'm down for a mix or even WFH, but I miss the socialising greatly.

It's not the keyboard itself but the software implemented that allows users to type this fast by predicting the order that you intended to hit keys allowing you to press all the buttons in "hello" at the same time, the fact it translates the ambiguous keypress into a dictionary word is the assistance.

It's clearly "cheating" in the context of a typing competition.

Expectation: Apps offer account deletion, finally empowering the user.

Reality: Apps no longer support seamless account creation and instead redirect the user to a website to register, user can no longer manage any aspect of their account from the app.

If I'm trying to find a subreddit for my niche, I will instantly find it by searching for [niche topic] + "subreddit" on a search engine.

This on the other hand is useful for finding a subreddit for literally anything else, things I wouldn't expect to have a subreddit, but definitely not niches.

The first 20 subreddits under every category represent anything but a niche, because they are listed by popularity.

By definition I need to click the last page of each category to "find a niche" but it definitely won't be my niche.

What was the reasoning behind the tagline?

My favourite aspect of sublime is that the "sessions" are so reliable.

I often just open it to jot something down, and before I know it I have 15-20 notes on separate pages, I'll consolidate and save them to a file somewhere or delete them if necessary.

It's just a super reliable scratchpad and a versatile modern textfile editor.

I can't wait until someone gets a patent on quick sort.

I have a feeling this kind of legal attack is usually the result of someone misusing a company trademark.

If he called it anything else they would never have noticed or cared.

They risk drawing attention to their non-existent competition by raising this legal action if they don't have a "sure" chance of winning.
