wdb··on OpenWrt 2 will be a high-performance router with 10 Gbit LAN and WiFi 7 support
Even 100mbit would be fast enough looking at my current internet lol Still connecting your two desktop devices (like MBP and Mac mini) connecting them using Thunderbolt 5 would still be faster.
wdb··on AI agents: Less capability, more reliability, please
Can Google Flights find the best flight dates to a destination within a time frame? E.g. get flights to LA in a up to 15 day period with ensure attendance on 17 September. Fly with SkyAlliance airlines only. Flexible with any dates but needs to be there on 17 Sept and at minimum stay of eight days or more.

Love if it could help with that but I haven't figured it out with Google Flights yet. My dream is to tell an AI agent the above and let it figure out the best deal.

wdb··on EU to impose counter tariffs on $28 billion of US goods
I prefer not to buy any US goods when not absolutely necessary. No need to support a country that wants annex a EU country.
wdb··on TSMC expected to announce $100B investment in U.S.
I think that won't happen as ASML relies on a bunch of patents. Now I don't think American patents are valid abroad anyways. So probably shouldn't be a concern.
wdb··on Citi group accidentally sends someone $81T
Even 0.05% interest on this amount would be nice. But does a bank really have this much money on the balance sheet, though?
wdb··on The power of interning: making a time series database smaller
As its already in Rust. Next step, is leveraging Apache DataFusion?

Yesterday they said: "The CEO refers to legislation that would restrict Bird's ability to properly compensate staff, strict dismissal rules, and differences in European and American work culture as reasons for the departure."
wdb··on DOGE's only public ledger is riddled with mistakes
Roughly 40 years of hard work of some entities, finally getting somewhere. Worrying and hope it doesn’t further spread to Europe.
wdb··on US Judge invalidates blood glucose sensor patent, opens door for Apple Watch
I wish there was a way to measure blood pressure via an Apple Watch :) Don't think that's feasible
wdb··on Trump to introduce 25% and 'higher' tariff on imported semiconductors
Trump is creating more and more reasons not to buy American products :)
wdb··on Forget the US – Europe has successfully put tariffs on itself
But shouldn't non-European companies that have EU customers have to comply with GDPR too?
wdb··on Europe cannot rely on US protection, Pentagon chief tells NATO allies
Probably better to stop buying US weaponry then
wdb··on BYD to offer Tesla-like self-driving tech in all models for free
And in Singapore it’s US$120k. Not much more than Tesla or Mercedes etc

Like Apple Notes's Smart Script?

wdb··on MVP for knowing your spending using your bank statement
How does it differ from what banks already offer?
wdb··on Show HN: I send myself automated emails to practice Dutch
I think you mean 'kleien' instead of 'klaaivormen'?
wdb··on Show HN: I send myself automated emails to practice Dutch
You can't even order food or drinks in Dutch anymore in a lot of places in Amsterdam. It's a bit of a bummer when you are back in your home country and can't even speak your mother tongue
wdb··on Should SaaS startups offer on-prem?
It’s fine. If you support hosting at the cloud provider of choice. I have seen cases were AWS was off limits and only Azure was allowed. Or were everything had to be hosted in a particular region due to crappy internet connectivity

Looks interesting. I am wondering if I could get this to run with F5 XC

wdb··on The Hidden Tax Trap for SaaS Founders in Germany
In the UK it also is ~20% capital gains tax when you are just equity holder /employee instead of the actual business owner. While the owners with the same class stock can get 10% instead.
