that "nifty menubar app" still had insane bugs such as randomly wiping its entire configuration on OS reboot

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is the usefulness of undo persistence after a IDE restart? Don't you normally save your changes and finish a piece of work before exiting an DE?

Edit: some great examples in the replies here, thanks! Perhaps I should start using it in editors that support it, never gave it a thought before.

How does that matter when CarPlay is full screen?

I have never felt safer around any other animal than a 11 kg Maine Coon that I happened to share a couple of years of my life with

> Why would you need below 20°C?

For example because I literally can’t sleep well above 20°C.

Always has been

It’s often an eSIM

It's also how Amazon Sidewalk works for many Alexa-enabled devices

Germany’s last officially fascist government was democratically elected

v34 CSS srcds is very easy to find online

>Midea pre-filled mini-splits went from €700 to 2000-3000+ and months of lead time. It's crazy.

They're back to normal prices now. At least in Germany. Make sure to grab one before the next Summer hits :)

There are some lucky people (e.g. me) who got high-RAM Pi4's and Pi5's before the prices spiked

FWIW there exist UEFI implementations for Raspberry Pi 4 and 5, they can be used to boot Windows 11 aarch64 images as well as 'generic' Linux distro images, so I suppose they will support this one as well.

>EVs are practically computers on a wheel

There’s nothing about EV drivetrain that requires more complicated software than ICE powertrain. It’s just consumerism telling people that their next vehicle (whatever drivetrain) should be an iPad, a home cinema, and a PlayStation all-in-one.

New 70W Apple charger is GaN (and much smaller than the old 67W one) FWIW, it's a shame it is single port, though.

Are you sure you have read the article, not just its title?

Alibaba Cloud in 2026 lol

>they have excellent air defenses

in which conflicts have those air defenses proven themselves?

My multisplit system costs <€60 a month to run even during the hottest months, which is way below heating costs during winter. And that's keeping entire apartment at constant 22ºC - people with higher "comfort temperature" can keep the bill significantly lower.

Realistically a decent mini-split that won't break in a year and won't make too much noise starts at ~€600-800 + €400 installation in a low-labor-cost country (Latvia), in high-labor-cost countries such as Germany the installation bit might be twice-thrice as expensive.

Yes, increasing demand for housing and increasing supply of labor definitely does nothing for both salaries and housing prices

it's not that bad, EX63 dedicated servers were a great deal until this week (especially with 192 GB ECC RAM upgrade) and it has a 2025 CPU, for example

In most EVs motors are watercooled, so that energy can indeed be scavenged – problem is, during low-speed driving, the heat output is not high enough to get noticeably above ambient temperature.

>ARM based systems, including the Apple M series, don't.

You're thinking of old SBCs, most likely. ARM SystemReady devices (which is a requirement for Thunderbolt 4+ on ARM, so Macs are included) have +/- same level of auto-configuration and hardware resource discovery as x86 PCs.

It’s fascinating how (mostly western liberal) game developers argue in favor of 99% taxes for general population “for maintaining infrastructure” and yet cannot fathom paying a fee for maintaining actual infrastructure that is necessary for their business to function.

The kind of software needed in a car (minimal or ideally none at all except for DME and CarPlay display) is indeed not something that Germans were able to build on their own in the recent times.

no - locking yourself into proprietary single-vendor solutions is never a better option

It still does a tiny bit (iCloud Drive is quite pushy) but to uncomparably smaller extent vs Windows

if you use \which it'll always be a shell built-in ;) though someone can put a different shell in your .zshrc

rootless docker's networking (slirp4netns) is still terribly buggy and in edge cases often locks up using 100% CPU until you discover that your laptop is a lapwarmer and kill it
