I use trackballs since decades.

I heavily recommend mapping some keys on keyboard for left and right mouse click, to be used with opposite hand.

Instant upgrade for finger operated trackballs.

This seems like extremely illegal in Europe.

That's a typical discrepancy between how US and EU sees civil agreements.

In Europe it's perfectly normal to be bound by terms of a paid service. I would never expect to avoid being liable for payments for services rendered only because I didn’t enter a cc number before exceeding free-tier limits.

Even in the comments below people are stating that this bill is valid only if they want to continue using the service.

Only the app store app which does not matter for usage. There are tons of other clients. Core firmware is Open Source.

Thank you for pointing that out.

I was banned two weeks ago without explanation and - in my opinion - without probable cause. Appeal was left without response. I refuse to join Discord.

I've checked bot support before but it was useless. Article you've linked mentions DSA chat for EU users. Invoking DSA in chat immediately escalated my issue to a human. Hopefully at least I'll get to know why Anthropic banned me.

If you need persistence on your Redis, then you're not using is as a cache. You're using it as a key-value store.

I run a script that rotates my /tmp/ each day, so I can access yesterday's tmp files at /tmp/20250828/ and so on.

My /tmp is my default folder for downloads and temporary work. It will grow 100GB+ easily.

Slower than a human making one operation.

Not slower than human stocking items for a whole day.

They work well but don't have the UWB part and need to have battery replaced every few months.

Tools to do this are and have been available for many months.

The difficulty is in scale. Enabling every smartphone owner to use GenAI, especially using voice commands requires hardware resources several orders of magnitude greater than what OpenAI is currently burning through.

The LLM-powered Siri/Alexa/Google Assistant was a matter of infrastructure investment.

With the recent Apple's announcement, it's only a matter of time with Google and others following through.
