skullone··on LG ThinQ Terms of Use
I have no idea how it got so bad either. Even manufacturing must be a pain with such odd designs. Their cars are just a pit to work on, non replaceable ball joints, have to buy the entire lower control arm, a $5 repair turns into $500. It's insane
skullone··on LG ThinQ Terms of Use
I've given up on LG and Samsung appliances. This includes TVs, all electronics too. They are simply the worst products to live with. They break frequently, hard to find parts for, even harder to fix if you even manage to find the part. They're designed by AI or something, I've never encountered such hostile engineering. They are never intended to be fixed, hidden fasteners, one time use tabs made from some of the lowest quality plastic. Oddly enough, the cheapest GE appliances are made to be fixed seemingly. Parts are readily accessible, they're super easy to repair.

But it's the end of korean electronics and appliances, and this extends to cars too, Kia and Hyundai designs are near the bottom in terms of repairability.

skullone··on The tech of 'Terminator 2' – an oral history (2017)
Holy shit. I thought the bullet splashes were CGI. I'm even more impressed that they were real practical effects, that is indeed nextfuckinglevel

There's a billion lead acid batteries out there which are conceivably infinitely recyclable

Wait till you find out where food comes from! (I mean, meat, not embryos)

This made me dumber even reading. I hate this timeline
skullone··on Donut Lab's 'solid-state' battery exposed as regular li-ion in investigation
The early videos of their lab results looked a big enough scam that I couldn't believe people were buying the hype.

skullone··on 7.8 magnitude earthquake shakes part of southern Philippines. Tsunami possible
This could have been so much worse if a big tsunami was triggered though. Thankful the shaking didn't generate one

Don't jinx it!

The is in context of B2B, which meta has a huge ecosystem and often rips away a companies revenue for hidden reasons
skullone··on PgBackRest Will Continue
Thats good news, glad the creator/maintainer is not only getting recognition, but also dollars
skullone··on Bill to block publishers from killing online games advances in California
Props for bringing up Subspace! What a fun game that deserves more players! (And a new client ui)
skullone··on A recent experience with ChatGPT 5.5 Pro
Bruh, $200/m for most people in the US is also a hard "no!". That's a lot of money. Plus Anthropic isn't doing good deals with orgs that spend less than 250k a month. It's ridiculous.

except nearly everyone uses unsafe rust
skullone··on K3sup – bootstrap K3s over SSH in < 60s
I went RKE2, k3s is nice, but a little too minimal for my tastes. With a few hundred MB ram used, I've got an internal container registry, openbao for secrets, caddy for edge TLS, rabbitmq, and powerdns for exposing k8s ingress. Plus all the standard network policies, which while verbose, gets me nearly all the way there of traditional firewalls and networking.
skullone··on Flue is a TypeScript framework for building the next generation of agents
Another typescript library! Woohoo!

What use case does a million character PR have?
skullone··on Framework Laptop 13 Pro: Major Upgrades and Linux Front and Center
Don't think that's a fair assessment. They set forth to build modular, repairable laptops you could get parts from 3rd parties with design files available to 3d print or manufacture. They are sticking by those goals. They've expressed interest in open sourcing their firmware or supporting coreboot but that's very much a stretch goal and would take a team of lawyers and a lot of money to suss out
skullone··on I am building a cloud
I have a basement, and a garage, and 2 sheds... I still dont wanna run servers at home. I use OVH, I just rent a server at their Hillsboro OR, US datacenter, just a few miles from my home, i know the twists and turns the fiber goes between there even.

What a scam
skullone··on Anthropic downgraded cache TTL on March 6th
I don't know about "only doing trivial things". I've built a fully threaded webmail replacement for Gmail using imap, indexes mail to postgres, local Django webapp renders everything in a Gmail/Outlook style threaded view with text/html bodies and attachments and a better local search than gmail, and runs all locally. Started as a "could I?" and ended up exceeding all my expectations
skullone··on Old laptops in a colo as low cost servers
My old Lenovo t420 has been running 24/7 pegged as a multi-camera DVR since 2011, no issues whatsoever. Of course the battery is removed, but I don't see many decent laptops struggling running under load for prolonged periods.

ROFL.
skullone··on The Vercel plugin on Claude Code wants to read your prompts
You might want to run your responses through your legal and HR departments. You're acting as a representative and ignoring some material claims about a significant data privacy issue. You should probably just delete your reply in fact
skullone··on Someone just converted Claude Leark from TypeScript to 100% Python
Yah this is as about as dirty room as it can get
skullone··on New Apple Silicon M4 and M5 HiDPI Limitation on 4K External Displays
I thought I was going crazy when my new m4 seemed "fuzzier" on my external 4ks. I tried replicating settings from my old MacBook to no avail. I wonder if Apple is doing this on purpose except for their own displays.
