askl··on Making RAM at Home [video]
How about swap on pingfs so you aren't relying on some cloud provider?

askl··on All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027
> Your next phone will be heavier, bulkier, more expensive, and less reliable as a result of these regulations.

Huh, phones are getting heavier, bulkier and more expensive already with every new generation? There's no regulation needed for that. Also more fragile because everything is made of glass.

askl··on All phones sold in the EU to have replaceable batteries from 2027
> If you really want to be able to self-swap your own battery, you can just buy an Android that has a replaceable battery.

Those don't really exist anymore.

> Do we need to regulate something that isn't a problem?

It is a problem and needs to be regulated.

> All regulation has downsides, is it worth paying this price here?

Of course the upsides of regulations are worth it. The downsides might cause slight inconvenience to the manufacturer, so that doesn't really matter.

askl··on GitHub's Fake Star Economy
Stars are a simple metric even someone like a VC investor can understand. Your "better system" sounds far too complicated and time consuming.
askl··on DIY Soft Drinks
Maybe try contacting Meta Mate [1] for recommendations. AFAIK they are supplying mate leaves to multiple mate soft drink manufacturers.

askl··on Audio Reactive LED Strips Are Diabolically Hard
No, haven't tried it.

For my use case I want something fully portable and battery powered anyways. So the audio stuff should happen on the ESP32. (Or on my phone, that might work too)

askl··on Audio Reactive LED Strips Are Diabolically Hard
Interesting. I'm currently in the process of building something with a audio reactive LED strip but didn't come across this project yet. The WLED [1] ESP32 firmware seems to be able to do something similar or potentially more though.

Edit: Oh wait, that project needs a PC or Raspberry PI for audio processing. WLED does everything on the ESP32.

askl··on Sam Altman may control our future – can he be trusted?
The answer to the question in the title is "no".
askl··on Artemis II Launch Day Updates
That sounds even stupider than using it to go to mars. I really hope it stays a fantasy like most musk projects.
askl··on CodingFont: A game to help you pick a coding font
Wow, some of these are looking atrocious. (Victor Mono, Syne Mono, Nova Mono)

What I'm missing is DejaVuSansMono which is what I'm using. The result of the test was Ubuntu Mono, which looks okay too.

askl··on How to turn anything into a router
> you can make a router out of basically anything resembling a computer.

So if anything can be turned into a router will importing anything be banned as well?

askl··on [dead]
> an AI image and video generation platform

Shrug. Glad to see stripe is doing something against this.

askl··on They’re vibe-coding spam now
Google Pixel phones also have this feature since at least 5 years. Spammers usually just hang up instantly.
askl··on White-collar AI apocalypse narrative is just another bullshit
It's always different this time. It always will only take a couple more months or years. And then people move on to the next hype topic.
askl··on North Korean's 100k fake IT workers net $500M a year for Kim
> It cites information from the US Government that these IT workers can earn more than $300,000 a year

Doesn't sound that cheap.

askl··on Meta Platforms: Lobbying, dark money, and the App Store Accountability Act
Can happen sometimes. I down voted the comment after reading only the first sentence but then corrected it to an upvote after reading the rest. Not sure if many people have an attention span long enough to do something like this.
askl··on Whistleblower claims ex-DOGE member says he took Social Security data to new job
Given his track record, spending should be at four trillion now, right?
askl··on EVi, a Hard-Fork of Vim
Given githubs stance on AI "coding" it would be hypocritical to host the project on github.
askl··on EVi, a Hard-Fork of Vim
There's a bunch of commits that have "supported by AI claude." as well. Whatever that's supposed to mean.
askl··on Arm's Cortex X925: Reaching Desktop Performance
If it's programmed in assembly, it just wont compile for a different architecture.
askl··on Show HN: OpenTweet – I built a way to stay active on X without opening X
> the feed is designed to waste your time

So instead you build a tool to waste other peoples time with auto generated tweets?

If I saw someone using a tool like this, I'd instantly block them.

askl··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
You are the product
askl··on Anthropic officially bans using subscription auth for third party use
True, they should be called "slop machine users" instead.
askl··on "Token anxiety", a slot machine by any other name
At least with gambling, there's the chance of hitting a jackpot.
askl··on Every book recommended on the Odd Lots Discord
https://github.com/DiscordMessenger/dm
askl··on Show HN: A custom font that displays Cistercian numerals using ligatures
But at least in Germany the plates always start with some letters and end in numbers. So mounting it upside down can't result in a valid plate.
askl··on The AI boom is causing shortages everywhere else
What is Sora?
askl··on The Waymo World Model
> Redesigning and rebuilding city transportation infrastructure isn't happening, look around.

The US already did it once (just in the wrong direction) by redesigning all cities to be unfriendly to humans and only navigable by cars. It should be technically possible to revert that mistake.

askl··on I now assume that all ads on Apple news are scams
> maybe trusted communities like HN

Especially on this site I would be very careful with trusting any recommendations. Probably more often than not it's the product/service of the person talking about it, so basically an ad.

askl··on I now assume that all ads on Apple news are scams
Thankfully at least for YouTube there's Sponsorblock to filter out that junk as well.
