Flockster··on Xiaomi MiMo-v2.5 Series API Permanent Price Reduction Up to 99%
The 99% is with regards to cached inputs. It seems to now at the same price as deepseek v4-pro
Flockster··on I Do Not Recommend Bitwarden
As a now almost 15 year long user (crazy to think about) of 1password I am unsure what attacks do you mean? Did passwords get lost and it was not disclosed or what did you mean by the lack of transparency?
Flockster··on Show HN: The Alphabetical Clock
Great idea! I'd like to make a german version, since the two digit numbers are sorted differently. E.g. 34 is sorted vier(4)_und_dreißig(30).
Flockster··on I’m joining OpenAI
Judging by the Openrouter-Rankings it is No. 1 or 2 in token usage, depending on the view (daily, weekly, monthly).
Flockster··on Dell UltraSharp 52 Thunderbolt Hub Monitor
Yes, I will never buy 16:9 again. On laptops 16:10 is already quite often and sometimes even 3:2 (Framework, Surfacebook).

For my desktop I am looking forward to getting a 3:2 monitor like the Benq RD280U

Flockster··on Ubiquiti Flex Mini 2.5G Review Ubiquiti Does a Cheap 5-Port 2.5GbE Switch
We used the 1GbE version in an outdoor setting to easily connect multiple sensors in a port within a research project. Good reliability and being able to extend and "split" the ethernet connection without additional power supplies was very convenient.

We did not integrate them into a UniFi ecosystem, just used the PoE and dumb-switch functionality.

Flockster··on Asus Announces October Availability of ProArt Display 8K PA32KCX
Thank you for this suggestion!

For Laptops 16:10 (and with the framework and surface even 15:10/3:2) is already quite common, while in the desktop market 16:9 and these ultrawides are dominant.

With 16:9 the whitespace on websites even with Tabs on the side is simply to high ;)

Flockster··on How OpenAI uses complex and circular deals to fuel its multibillion-dollar rise
Okay, that article is a little bit shallow. I just summarises the headlines of the last weeks of circular deals. But is there also a more in depth article that sheds a little more light onto what this actually means? From a financial perspective?

Flockster··on Surveillance data challenges what we thought we knew about location tracking
I could not compare it completely, but it sounds very much like this talk that I saw many years ago at the CCC.

SS7: Locate. Track. Manipulate. [2014] https://media.ccc.de/v/31c3_-_6249_-_en_-_saal_1_-_201412271...

Flockster··on Progress towards universal Copy/Paste shortcuts on Linux
You can do this with many terminal emulators on linux too. I did it with konsole and tilix, just change the copy and paste shortcut and you get this "natural copy" behavior.
Flockster··on Wayland is growing up. and now we don't have a choice
And I am running a 4060 Ti 16Gb perfectly on my Fedora setup with wayland and KDE.
Flockster··on Linux kernel 6.14 is a big leap forward in performance and Windows compatibility

Flockster··on Qualcomm Claims New X85 Modem Creates 'Huge Delta' in Performance versus Apple
Yes, I can pick it up today in my Apple Store it says on the website.
Flockster··on Mistral releases Pixtral 12B, its first multimodal model
Could this be used for a selfhosted handwritten text recognition instance?

Like writing on an ePaper tablet, exporting the PDF and feed this into this model to extract todos from notes for example.

Or what would be the SotA for this application?

Flockster··on Show HN: OBS Live-streaming with 120ms latency
How does it work with H265? My last info was, that WebRTC only supports H264 and VP8. It would be great to stream H265 via WebRTC.
Flockster··on The CrowdStrike file that broke everything was full of null characters?
That is not remotely what was meant..
Flockster··on Person-in-WiFi: Fine-Grained Person Perception Using WiFi [pdf]
Yes, the paper linked to by firebirdn99 is much more recent and shares an author.
Flockster··on iLeakage: Browser-Based Timerless Speculative Execution Attacks on Apple Devices
> However, iOS has a different situation. Due to Apple's App Store and sandboxing policies, other browser apps are forced to use Safari's JavaScript engine. That is, Chrome, Firefox and Edge on iOS are simply wrappers on top of Safari that provide auxiliary features such as synchronizing bookmarks and settings. Consequently, nearly every browser application listed on the App Store is vulnerable to iLeakage.

This should be a reason to lift this policy and allow different engines on these devices!

Flockster··on FAA authorizes Zipline to deliver commercial packages using drones
A video from Mark Rober about Zipline, to get an idea. I was very impressed when I first heard of them.

Flockster··on Phoenix has set another heat record by hitting 110 degrees on 54 days this year
Well..

Is a year really "arbitrarily chosen"? After all it's defined by our solar system. And for the start date of Jan 01, I would go out and claim, that years are most of the time compared starting Jan 01. It would be much more random to start this record on Feb 20.

Yes one may debate if 110 as the cutof to count days in is "the best choice", but well, it's in the US and we humans like nice numbers ;)

But all these values are not excluding like your example.

Flockster··on LANDrop – Drop any files to any devices on your LAN
So this is like Taildrop but uses the local net instead of the tailnet?

Flockster··on CATL (Tesla Supplier) Launches Superfast Charging Battery (10 min)
But this is different from the 500Wh/kg Battery that was announced around 3 month ago right [0]?

Has something happened in this regard?

Flockster··on CATL has announced a new “condensed” battery with 500 Wh/kg
I would assume a Small Modular Reactor.

Flockster··on PC CPU Shipments See Steepest Decline in 30 Years
Are there substantial patents running out in this year or why the huge expected priceloss?
Flockster··on Opensnitch, application level interactive firewall, heading into Debian
A question that comes to mind reading this. Is it possible to block/limit outbound traffic of a docker-container?

I'm thinking of a situation where I want to run a precompiled binary, but only want it to talk to an other container and not the outside world. How would I do that?
