BonoboIO··on Bricked iPhone 16 Can Be Restored Wirelessly Using Another iPhone
Sell the base 128GB model that will be too small pretty soon and sell the cloud storage. Win win.
BonoboIO··on Support for IPv6
Why is it now easier to manage?
BonoboIO··on Why is it so hard to go back to the moon?
Vladimir Komarov would argue against your theory
BonoboIO··on We are self-hosting our GPUs
Hetzner has RTX 4000 for 185€ per month. Is your solution cheaper?
BonoboIO··on Apple Succession Strategy: Keep the Old Guard Around as Long as Possible
Why are you downvoted?

I think this tactic is nothing more than deception, the guys are not staying around and give some guidance, they left or did not do the job the shareholders thought they were doing.

I have no problem, that people get payed big money to stay at the company and just to little consulting, but hiding their real position or amount of work is just theatre.

BonoboIO··on Firewall rules: not as secure as you think
Hopefully not ending like the Boeing whistleblowers
BonoboIO··on Fixing a bug in Google Chrome as a first-time contributor
Why are you running your own fork, if I may ask.
BonoboIO··on Midjourney web experience is now open to everyone
They did a clever thing, they used Discord and their servers as CDN

No hosting of the generated pictures, just send them via discord message and forget them. No S3 or big cloud lambda functions.

Easy to start to make a minimal working prototype.

BonoboIO··on Prompt Caching
100k … I hear and use all of these high token context LLMs, but often they fail to include all information that should be in their context.

Does your approach work for you?

BonoboIO··on A pedantic review of the Las Vegas loop
„ The operations manual spends more page length on answering questions about Elon Musk and The Boring Company than it does on fires.“

Does anybody need to know more about this whole operation?

BonoboIO··on We survived 10k requests/second: Switching to signed asset URLs in an emergency
It would be funny to give the scraper some „funny“ pictures :D
BonoboIO··on SponsorBlock – skip sponsor segments on YouTube
I find the LTT stupid ideas like watercooling his server room funny but without Sponsorblock it’s a pain.

Also their merch … this is so overpriced. A screwdriver for 70 dollar, when nearly the same product costs 20.

But there are enough people that buy that stuff.

BonoboIO··on Room inspections at Resorts World confuse, annoy DEF CON attendees
Unbelievable what the hotel is doing here, why would anyone stay there next time or in a hotel that is part of their company.
BonoboIO··on Faster Docker builds using a remote BuildKit instance
I can get a 48 core/96 threads dedicated server for 200€ a month on hetzner. The cheapest EC2 with that comes close costs 2€ per hour. I can get nearly 10 hetzner servers that run consistently for that price.

Obviously the dedicated machines are not rentable per hour, but the cloud is so much more expensive.

BonoboIO··on Google is killing one of Chrome's biggest ad blockers
Or just don’t use chrome anymore
BonoboIO··on How Uber tests payments in production
Amen. If you don’t test it, you will test it with your customer and will eventually fail.
BonoboIO··on Facebook demonetises popular guinea pigs page
My ex gf got 5 guinea pigs and you just have to love them. I miss them, but this post brought back some sweet memories.
BonoboIO··on FakeTraveler: Fake where your phone is located (Mock location for Android)
Is it open source?
BonoboIO··on How I got my laser eye injury
10km … damn. And the biggest problem is, the danger is invisible.
BonoboIO··on The New Internet
Amen! In the 2000s I had a newly setup windows xp with the modem on the internet. After 30 minutes it was toast.

Riddled with viruses.

BonoboIO··on US solar production soars by 25 percent in just one year
Where did you get the automotive cells?
BonoboIO··on Lessons from a Private Equity Earn Out: How I Lost £550K Due to a Lowercase 'C'
This whole story with the „c“ smells like bs to me.

Your conclusion sounds more believable than his story, it was not the capital c that maybe cost him thousands of pounds, but that his lawyer is incompetent or did not even exist.

It sounds like a justification to himself, that this could have happened to anybody and it’s just bad luck, but in reality he f*cked up and it was preventable.

BonoboIO··on PySkyWiFi: Free stupid wi-fi on long-haul flights
In my mind the whole plane was rockin to „… keep on rollin baby, you know what time it it is …“

It’s obviously a joke.

BonoboIO··on Anthropic Introduces Claude Projects
I think it’s still a token per time limit. So more files in the project and more artifacts means token usage.
BonoboIO··on Anthropic Introduces Claude Projects
This gets expensive really quickly at least for me. The web ui for 20 dollar is dirt cheap in comparison.
BonoboIO··on 54 Humans in One 8-meter Gravitics Module
I don’t know this should demonstrate. You can stuff them in their but only for a short time before the all start to go crazy.

Would I step into if my life depends on it, yes but for anything else this is just worthless.

BonoboIO··on Small claims court became Meta's customer service hotline
Why do the companies care? Huge fines?
BonoboIO··on The enduring mystery of how water freezes
What are you cooling?
BonoboIO··on Apple Intelligence for iPhone, iPad, and Mac
Only on iPhone 15 Pro upwards or M1 Mac’s

So only a very small percentage of users will be able to use it.

BonoboIO··on Starlink as a means to win at nuclear war
I read a few books about that question, short answer no, long answer no.

When the enemy attacks, you have minutes to contact the president (in the us case) and he has only minutes to decide, which way it goes. You have to get your planes flying and launch your icbms before they get destroyed from the incoming missiles.

There is no time to wait and see, one of the first things that will happen is, that the enemy is detonating a nuke in the upper atmosphere near your land or near the horizon of your radars. The electromagnetic radiation blinds your radar and from now on you are blind. No radar how many missiles where launched after the initial firing.

Your have to counter strike with full force, now! Now or never, the probability is very very high that you will only have this chance, before many of the people in the chain of command are killed, nowhere to be found or incapable to act. Somewhere in the us, there will be someone in the chain of command that is authorized to act, but the person has not much to do. That will not happen in days, that will happen in hours, probably in the first 2.

The icbms will hit in the first 25-40 minutes, that planes will take hours, but think about it: the pilots and crew will deliver the bombs at any cost, because there is nothing to go home to.

Submarines will also fire a few missiles to strategic targets, but will mainly act as backup, IF you need them after the first „rodeo“.

There is also to this day no concept of ending a nuclear war. How to contact the enemy to make peace, when everything is gone. Who can you trust, who is the real person in charge.

In reality, the living will envy the dead.
