millzlane··on M5 Ultra Mac Studio Review
Reddit might be leaking today.
millzlane··on Saying 'Google It' Makes You Sound Old
RAFB
millzlane··on The US is charging an American citizen for wiping his phone at the border
Some might even say these are natural rights.
millzlane··on TP-7 Field Recorder
Any used Akai device. Depending on how old I would say get them the new standalone device called the mpc one+. If the price is too steep look for a used midi device from Akai.

Honesty, a used cell phone would make a better pocket operator.

millzlane··on I aggregated 28 US Government auction sites into one search
Yea, this one had wrong and broken info all over it.
millzlane··on Google restricting Google AI Pro/Ultra subscribers for using OpenClaw
To me it seems like it's impossible because they can't reorder bing search results or mixed them with other results. Or by their own admission because Google doesn't have a search API anymore. Unless I'm misreading. It's basically "Bing or Google wont allow us to use their products how we want to." And "It will take us over 20 years and lots of money to gain market share."

I'm paraphrasing here of course. But it doesn't seem impossible. I mean I don't think it's easy either. I also want to add that I don't want to live in a world with only one search engine.

millzlane··on Hetzner Prices increase 30-40%
Can't stop calling it out when you see it. The internet is being used for good and for evil. <tinfoilhatoff>
millzlane··on US plans online portal to bypass content bans in Europe and elsewhere
I knew there had to be a rational explanation as to why this book was chosen as a "bad book'.
millzlane··on Show HN: Price Per Ball – Site that sorts golf balls on Amazon by price per ball
Nice. This reminds me of ammoseek.
millzlane··on Ghidra by NSA
Nice.
millzlane··on If AI writes most of the code, understanding codebases becomes the bottleneck
Is this spam?
millzlane··on Hackers (1995) Animated Experience
Anyone else on the fan Facebook group? Ceralkiller is on there.
millzlane··on Adobe Animate (formerly Flash) will be discontinued on March 1st
My first journey into flash was creating a graphic of a spinning smiley face with a GSW for the game pimp-wars. I didn't know anything about it. But I knew I wanted to make that graphic for my "gang".
millzlane··on Show HN: Beats, a web-based drum machine
A randomize button would be cool.
millzlane··on My mouse stopped working because Logitech's servers went down
How much it sucks depends on why you bought it. if you bought it to control a pointer, NBD. If you got it for the custom buttons, then it's a pretty big deal. Why those features need a server online to work is beyond me. Glad they got a fix though.
millzlane··on Tesla Model 3 sedans face federal safety probe over hidden emergency releases
Not sure how this was even allowed. I saw a couple of people jump into the back of a Uber that was a Tesla, and could only wonder if the driver told them where the release was in case of emergency.
millzlane··on California judge rules that Tesla engaged in deceptive marketing for Autopilot
I honestly don't want to make this political and I'm not a libertarian. But this reminds me of something a libertarian once said. That courts would find companies liable for their crimes and someone would go to jail.

My question: Why isn't someone going to jail, when they have clearly broken a law?

millzlane··on Sega Channel: VGHF Recovers over 100 Sega Channel ROMs (and More)
This is awesome! I used to have sega channel as a kid. I never had a game console and a Sega is the only one my mom ever bought us. We were fortunate enough to have cable TV from TCI cable and they had Sega channel. Every month we'd get new games and eventually they changed it to 2 weeks.
millzlane··on Writing our own cheat engine (2021)
Yes, rotated to landscape to workaround it.
millzlane··on Instagram chief orders staff back to the office five days a week in 2026
I realized this morning, while talking to a coworker. That when we are in person we complain about shit more than we fix it. But when were remote we voice our concerns in the major channels and shit gets fixed.

I'm convinced by keeping people in person less shit will get fixed.

millzlane··on Tell HN: X is opening any tweet link in a webview whether you press it or not
The only way to win is to not play.
millzlane··on The AirPods Pro 3 flight problem
I have the high pitched noise with the 2nd gen pros when I sleep on my side. It's not just an issue with the 3's.
millzlane··on Tell HN: Azure outage
It begs the question from a noob like me... Where should they host the status page? Surely it shouldn't be on the same infra that it's supposed to be monitoring. Am I correct in thinking that?
millzlane··on Bob Ross paintings to be auctioned to fund US public broadcasting
PBS doesn't do any talking points. It's honestly just news and if they have a talking head on, they usually have an opposing talking head. Its a breath of fresh air to just get the actual news.
millzlane··on Couple Gets Trapped for 10 Hours After EV Charging Station Welds Itself to Car
Metrovac makes an electric plugin duster that is the bees knees. Never have to buy a can of air again. It's powerful too. Powerful enough that you feel what little torque the motor has when it powers on.

This is the model. https://www.webstaurantstore.com/metrovac-ed-500-datavac-ele...

millzlane··on Show HN: I reverse engineered macOS to allow custom Lock Screen wallpapers
I'm pretty sure I do this on my mac using Aerials. Is your way different from this?

millzlane··on Navy doctor fired after right-wing activists find pronouns on social media
It's only confusing if one is ignorant about pronouns. It's not hard in practice.

Person 1: Where is emy?

Person 2: Oh she, is over there. Points

Person 3: hey person 1, emy doesn't refer to herself as she..

Person 2: oh I'm sorry. I had no idea about Emy and their pronouns...Hey person 1, Emy is right over there.

I find it easier if you refer to people by their names (preferred or otherwise) and just default to gender neutral terms like "they/them". Because it not a hard thing to do.

millzlane··on Vanishing from Hyundai’s data network
I used to care about stuff like this. But then I stopped and life has been great!
millzlane··on White House Preps Order to Punish Banks That Discriminate Against Conservatives
I have never been asked by a bank, credit union, or investment broker if I am conservative. Can a conservative explain to me What the hell is the issue?
millzlane··on Ubiquiti launches UniFi OS Server for self-hosting
It would be cool if they brought back the self-hosted security camera solution UniFi Protect.
