iruoyon Apple has a private CSS property to add Liquid Glass effects to web content

> It stands to reason that Apple wouldn't have developed this feature if they weren't using it. Where? We have no idea. But they must be using it somewhere. The fact that none of us have noticed exactly where suggests that we're interacting with webviews in our daily use of iOS without ever even realising it.

This is what stood out to me. I've never really suspected webviews and can't think of a place now.

They did the calculations for Hetzner themselves and came to $4258.33/mo.

iruoyon MailCatcher runs a super simple SMTP server

There's no rush to move away from MailCatcher or MailHog, but if you're not using those solutions already I see no reason to use them over the maintained options.

iruoyon MailCatcher runs a super simple SMTP server

A tool like this is very useful, but this one isn't being maintained anymore. MailHog isn't either.

MailPit, MailCrab and smtp4dev are modern alternatives.

iruoyon Dashboard and UIs for Node-Red

> The original Node-RED Dashboard is based on Angular v1, which is no longer maintained. Although small patches have been and will continue to be applied on a "best can do" basis, there will be no major feature upgrades. The lack of ongoing maintenance and updates has the potential to lead to underlying security breakages, a risk we are not comfortable taking. We have recognized the need to innovate and adapt, which is why we are creating a completely new project to replace the existing Node-RED Dashboard.

iruoyon Google Meet rolls out multi-device adaptive audio merging

That would be against net neutrality laws here in The Netherlands, but we also get low bitrates when screensharing.

But Google Meet is pretty good otherwise. Zoom is good too. All others I have used have been quite annoying to use.

iruoyon How to make a better default Firefox UI

It takes 2 minutes and the instructions are very clear. Should not be a problem.

This is the first time I've heard of Lepton. Now I've installed it I don't think I will go back. Thanks!

I don't care about the tabs being buttons though. Mainly the huge amount of space the new design uses. And the lack of icons.

iruoyon Goody-2, the world's most responsible AI model

How did you get the prompt?

iruoyon Bard is now Gemini, and we’re rolling out a mobile app and Gemini Advanced

On the https://one.google.com/about/plans page they named the subscription AI Premium. It's the same as Premium, but you get access to Gemini Advanced too. However I'm not sure where you can use it at the moment. Maybe just Bard?

iruoyon Zed, a collaborative code editor, is now open source

All JetBrains IDEs work on Linux and all electron apps of course. Lapce seems like Zed and is already available on Linux. So is Sublime Text.

There's a whole list here: https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/List_of_applications/Docume...

iruoyon Apple Music will now pay 10% higher royalties to artists for Spatial Audio music

I've tried it before on AirPods Max and wasnt' that impressed. But just yesterday I've tried it on a very nice home cinema. Some songs seem basically auto-generated, but some songs have a very cool surround mix. It's a bit of a gamble right now what you'll get. Either is a fun experience though.

So I think the technology is quite cool and I will use it again. It won't be very often though, because all my regular listening areas/devices are stereo.

iruoyon Hertz to sell 20k EVs in shift back to gas-powered cars

NIO now has 9 battery swap locations in The Netherlands. I'm not sure this is better than charging points, but at least we'll get some data on it. Tom Scott has made a video[1] about it.

iruoyon Apple tells EU it has five different App Stores, not just one

Well on macOS you're free to use whatever. On iOS and iPadOS Apple demands apps to use the Safari engine (WebKit).

So they are a gatekeeper on iOS and iPadOS, but not on macOS.

iruoyon Benchmarking 20 programming languages on N-queens and matrix multiplication

I've just done this and it has been merged. The benchmarks table and image haven't been updated yet. But this should bring the C# result to ~2s instead of 4.67s

iruoyon Forecasts need to have error bars

I've been using meteoblue for a while now and they tell you how sure they are of their predictions. Right now I can see that they rate their predictability as medium for tomorrow, but high for the day after.

iruoyon Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month

Doesn't that go for almost all paid web services? At least the incentive is low, and the potential backlash is high.

iruoyon Unlimited Kagi searches for $10 per month

Kagi in Dutch has been very good.

The last thing I've still been using Google for was looking up which Dutch retailers sold the product I was looking for. But now I see that was unnecessary.
