Yes, it’s a Nintendo switch, but it’s not a separate device, it’s a device I’m lugging around every day anyway.
Phone gaming with a USC-C display or simply cast to the TV, and Bluetooth remotes. It might not be as bad as it sounds. My phone has 12GB RAM, 256GB NVME SSD, a decent GPU and a dedicated AI chipset as well. Sure, it…
It takes one party to start a war, but it takes (at least) two to end it. The war ends when all involved parties agree that it ends, not because one party is tired of it. The only way the US alone can end the war in…
It’s the wonders of the modern world. People use LLMs to write longer posts, and the readers use LLMs to summarize them.
It's not resistance to air conditioning as much as there isn't really a need for it for most of the year. Some of that has to do with engineering and age / history. Many older building in the southern part of Europe are…
I kinda just outgrew it. I migrated from Homey to HA, and with 2500+ entities across some 250-300 devices the HA Green performed well. It would sit at about 55% RAM usage with 5-7% CPU load, so in no way resource…
I was recently looking for an upgrade for my aging HA Green, and I had an 8GB RPi5 with a m.2 hat, case and PSU selected, but when I checked prices I could get an 8GB Zimaboard 2 that includes 32GB eMMC for $10 more…
C++ seems like an odd choice for developing desktop apps in 2026, but I guess if it works, it works.

MacOS recently solved this "issue". When rebooting a FileVault encrypted machine, where it normally "hangs" asking for a user to unlock it, you can now SSH into the machine, but instead of getting a prompt it interprets…
While we very rarely have temperatures below -20C in Denmark, i have yet to experience a "drop" in performance from it. Granted, it becomes a lot noisier in very low temperatures, but it "does the job". I'll add that…
Same principle as I use everywhere else, if I pay for it, I'm not seeing any ads, and if I do, I'm no longer paying. Cancelled Netflix for the same reason, as well as their draconian attitude towards "account sharing"…
It works well enough, but it's not without flaws either. The desktop version works reliably, if you can get macOS to keep shares mounted for long enough, and mount them on request. The scheduler is also kinda wonky. The…
WebDAV is like the 12V plug in cars. Its certainly not the optimal design, but it exists in pretty much all cars, so we use it because it's there, and because of it's universal presence, its also hard to replace. The…
Except, they're not. They're in iCloud, backed up to my NAS at home, backed up to another cloud vendor, backed up to two different external hard drives, stored in separate locations, as well as archived on Blu-Ray…
Use private mode browsing, click the easy option of allow all, and rejoice that cookies are cleared when you close the tab.
They were founded by ex Apple employees, so there's that.
As far as I know, everything iCloud and Apple Intelligence runs off of their own data centers if you happen to live "near" one, but you could still be using AWS and/or Google as well. I live near the Danish Apple data…
depends on where in the world you live. If you live in a region where they operate their own data centers, you will be running on Apple data centers. If not, you're running on a mix of Google Cloud and AWS (IIRC). They…
"Banks are full of war stories trying to migrate off their old mainframe codebases, and often giving up." Most of the time it's a question of trying to apply "death by a thousand cuts" to their codebase, which works…
Wireguard is simple enough to setup, and i actually use it much like OP does, though i don't force all my DNS queries through it, and instead use NextDNS. It's basically setup so that i have my internal machines…
I doubt the VPS/VPN route is for the majority of people, but if "you" are one of those, then yes, it would make sense. For everybody else, $18/year vs $5/month for a VPS should be an easy choice.
Is running Pihole or Adguard home even worth it these days ? You can get something like NextDNS for $18/year, which is probably less than what you pay for the power required to serve Pihole or Adguard Home, and you get…
ignoring all "hate" against streaming services, you have to at least give Netflix credit where it's due. They contribute a lot to the open source community, and their engineering blog is always a good read. Granted, not…
