If the battery doesn't die, you won't buy another air tag. :-(
pachouli-please··on Interview with Jeff Geerling
I love all Geerling's projects, writings, and videos over the years. I was actually concerned that based on the brevity of the title that something tragic had happened. Glad that's not the case!
pachouli-please··on Kagi finally let me lay Google Search to rest
It can do exactly this, as well as outright blacklisting. Very good stuff

Use GenPatcher (https://legi.cc/downloads/genpatcher/) to make the original game work basically perfectly on modern OSes, as well as implement a bunch of stability, balance, and other optional fixes.
pachouli-please··on Xbox 360 Store shuts down on July 29, 2024
> Xbox 360 Marketplace, the console’s online store, will cease operations on July 29, 2024. After that day, 360 owners will no longer be able to purchase new games or entertainment content for their consoles, and the Microsoft Movies and TV app will stop working, too.

The availability of existing purchases and online game services will not be impacted.

For myself and many others in my generation, the Xbox 360 and many titles within that lifecycle were hugely impactful to online culture for us. It's sad to see the 360 continuing to ramp down, but also wild to realize its almost 20 years old and was still powerpc based.

pachouli-please··on Goodbye MongoDB
In the article, he mentioned that working in JSON seemed natural and comfortable. So after checking to be sure mongo was fairly mature and commonly used, went with it.

Sounds reasonable and not hype train driven

pachouli-please··on GM to use Tesla charging network, joining Ford
Understand too that fast electricity at peak times is pretty expensive. I don't think they have a significant margin on electricity, just the benefits of volume.

And they certainly haven't been resting on their laurels. The entire supercharger network has doubled in recent years enabling more trips than ever.

Back in 2018 you were counting on these individual stations which to their credit never let me down. Now as I plan yet another cross-country trip, there are dozens of superchargers that I skip past as in some areas they are only 20 miles apart. Great for the consumer imo.

pachouli-please··on FedNow FAQ
Your receiving bank can very quickly get notification of the incoming transfer, and 'spot' you an arbitrary amount (or all) while it _actually_ clears in the background.
pachouli-please··on EVs cost 22% less to service than ICE cars, new data shows
I believe they are referring to engine intake air filter, being a critical consumable component.

As opposed to AC getting worked for a few years and the cabin air filter merely getting stinky, but manageable.

pachouli-please··on When will Apple ship other M2 Macs?
Is it really a small niche though? Many 'HPC'-ish creative workloads demand freedom of expand-ability in those ways it seems. I'm hopeful we'll see an Apple Silicon-based Pro that does offers PCI-e expandability amongst others. The Studio simply won't be sufficient for everyone.
