shagrath··on Pocketbase – open-source realtime back end in 1 file
No you can setup everything (models and db migrations) with code, no need to use the gui, it's just here for "convienence" if you want it
shagrath··on Gmail will no longer support checking emails from third-party accounts via POP
I'm in the same boat, and unfortunately, no
shagrath··on Manifest: A 1-file micro-back end
Looks like there is an admin panel demo, but can't find the login/password
shagrath··on RebrickNet – Lego Part Detector
Neat, I happpened to rediscover and sort my childhood lego collection two weeks ago, and had good success for the "no so common parts" with the brickowl camera search (I don't know what kind of engine is behind)

shagrath··on Linux: Ext4 data corruption in 6.1.64-1
I also manually upgraded yesterday (bad luck, just a few hours after the update) and just now reverted to the previous kernel. Not sure this was the right thing to do but didn't want to take any chances
shagrath··on XXH: Bring your favorite shell wherever you go through the SSH
Nice, I did a similar hack some time ago: pack your favorites functions/aliases in b64, unpack and do some mkfifo on the server, write that fifo path to ENV, and call "exec bash --posix". zsh and ksh also work, as they also have some options relying on ENV.

They wrote 32 bits on the website (against 7 in the current spec)
shagrath··on Facebook Announces “Home”, A Homescreen Replacement For Standard Android
probably like explained here:

http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8073803/android-multi-tou...

but imho, given they already downgraded the behavior in 4.0, this is really looking like a security hole that might be closed in a next Android release.

Another project in the same vein: http://dan.drown.org/android/
shagrath··on Google's opening slides in the trial v. Oracle

shagrath··on The Facebook Phone: It's Finally Real and Its Name is Buffy

shagrath··on How to speed up the Android Emulator by up to 400%
At Google I/O, the sdk team said it was coming in the next months (along with GPU support), but the downside was that KVM is not readily available outside linux
shagrath··on Apple deals massive patent blow to HTC, Android in serious trouble
"They make money on selling Google Apps, Maps service, etc to manufacturers and carriers."

Would love a source on this... AFAIK Google never publicly said Android Trademark and Google Apps were not free (apart from the obligation to pass the CTS test suite)

shagrath··on What I'm working on at Google: Making the mobile web fast
I'm not an Android expert, but I think many libraries (browser, sms, phone, etc.) are basically kernel/baseband dependent (To make an hardware accelerated browser means modified GPU drivers, means new/updated kernel features, etc.), so it's almost impossible to provide an unified build of some apps on current devices (Gtalk video available only on 2.3.4 also comes to mind)
shagrath··on Apple Files Patent Suit Against Samsung Over Galaxy Line of Phones and Tablets
except the Samsung Wave, running on Bada and similary looking to the iPhone is not cited in the lawsuit...
