Agree that the 'Open Source' is misapplied in this instance. I do applaud Bose for providing a graceful EoL to their product and consumers.

LogiOptions+ is failing to load on macOS.

>I hope that this is the start of developers being conscious of using resources efficiently again, especially in the browser.

AI may have forced the hand on this. Users will no longer be able to subsidize software performance with hardware upgrades due to the great DRAM debacle of 2026..

Year of the Linux desktop perhaps; Year of the Linux laptop perhaps not..

>It was faster to rg to search files

This continuously drives me crazy on Windows and macOS. I am befuddled at the number of times where I'm searching for a top level subdirectory that starts with 'foo' but the search bar spins and spins..

Eventually I get fed up and just sort by name and perform an alphabetical visual search in meat-space.

I've been describing it as if the ui has been covered in corn syrup; like it has been drizzled in a slow and sticky and slightly blurry layer of transparent obfuscation.

The updating input locations under your cursor in particular is so f*ing frustrating.

To be fair, it's not just macOS, but many webpages which load dynamic content as well.

On a serious note, I do wish many places had much better bicycle infrastructure. My town has come a long way, but still has a long way to go..

Puts the 'daily grind' in a different light. Don't be the machine at work, so you have the time to become the (endurance cycling) machine!

While I'm sure the cycling angle brings more tangible benefits, I suspect they (work and cycling) suffer from the same drawbacks of committing to an unending display of exertion and suffering.

I built my Unifi system around my Tailscale network, so I get basically the same benefits for free. I guess you either put in the admin effort up front, or pay the appliance tax on the back. What am I missing?

As a someone who has traveled for work more days in the year than not, I'd much rather not require yet another device to carry and deploy in an ever changing network environment.

The multi-uplink is intriguing. While on the surface it seems that an ostensibly 'plug and play' carrier aggregation dongle (no idea if this is actually a feature) would be a easy solution to smooth out poor connections, many networking hiccups encountered during travel just boil down to impossibly terrible RF environments, regardless of the spectrum or protocol.

Never used the tool being acquired, but just discovered the 2D design tool from your comment, looks super cool!

I was curiously productive this morning..

Feels like they're trying to put the cat back in the bag and recoup a fraction of the exodus from the registry thing.

I've used finnix forever as my go to live recovery distro, and have never heard of knoppix.

From a cursory search, it appears that finnix is focused on the command line while knoppix provides a desktop environment. Don't most distros offer live boot environments these days? I know I've done this with Fedora, Debian, Suse, and Alpine at least..

..er, a parasitic threat to life and happiness that become an endemic drag on global well being?

Just delightful, thank you Neal.

>HN boosters overdoing it on their home WiFi in what must be a bid to get their partner to divorce them..

Au contraire!

I got tired of the refrain "are you messing with the network again?" in the evenings when the neighbors are all streaming Netflix and crowding the airwaves, so I installed several low power UI APs around the house and and popped my own DNS and devices to a separate VLAN.

No more complaints :)

I do wish Unifi offered more configuration in the ad-blocking department, but I'm hesitant to inflict anything but the most vanilla deployment on the remainder of the household..

In the sense that production costs have undercut evaluation costs permitting a cadre of un(der)-qualified entrants to the space.

Not a new story in the progression of human endeavors; see the printing press, perspective painting, digital photography, residential construction.

You may find some insight into his methods and motives in the biography 'Issac Newton' by James Gleick. It's a wonderful and quick read.

Lots of high capacity vehicular infra in LA.. I imagine most places just have ‘chases’.

Tailscale Down® - Unscheduled network downtime to engage in the immediate needs of your meat sack existence. Eat food, speak with other meat sacks, expel food, touch grass!

Just arrived from perusing the headscale repo for the nth time. I really should deploy one of these days...

The use of the Latin plural fora really resonates. It's like they are their own class of organism evolving in a digital terrarium.

My biggest hope for LLM's was to finally be able to make sense of all the Microsoft documentation; the constant churn in product naming, different versions with varying levels of support and compatibility, the multitude of different API's to accomplish the same operation.. turns out the LLM's are just a confused as me :(

This is true, I chose to pick on MS and Adobe because the article closes with the admission that the author has backup Windows machines to run Adobe Creative Cloud in the 'inevitable' event that Linux has a problem.

For myself, those issues have been largely evitable; I think my longest current uptime on a running linux install is approaching 5 years..

>So if anything goes wrong in my install, it’ll be a lot of forum-hopping and Discord searching to figure it all out

This is not inaccurate, however every time I've had to interface with either Microsoft or Adobe issues, both the professional and community support have been abysmal. Both community forums seem to incentivize engagement to the point where every response is 3+ hyperlinks deep to someone else's vaguely related post.

Maybe the linux forums self select for independent problem solvers..

What realllly irks me is that Apple did not even make the new AirPods Pro 3 backwards compatible with iOS 18. Features that are available with the AirPods Pro 2 on iOS 18 were not available with the APP3. SAME iOS device, SAME H2 chip, but I was forced to upgrade to (the dumptser fire of a release) iOS 26 to maintain feature parity with the APP2 in an all Apple ecosystem.

So f*ing steamed. Still. And Apple support had no clue and kept telling me it should all 'Just Work'.
