"Your phone knows its position in space" Mistakes happen, but in a video about gyroscopes it's hard to forgive mistaking position and orientation. That's the kind of thing that warrants a delete and re-upload.

Interesting. Do you have any evaluations to support the claims that this improves performance?
Are you using Firefox on ios? It’s a long-running bug with that browser that affects most pages with multiple videos and drives me mad.

Thanks, I was familiar with encryption but not with bitlocker. So this only affects a particular mode of bitlocker in which the drive is automatically decrypted on boot without the user providing any secret. Meaning the…
If I was releasing a laptop with Linux support as a key selling point, and the battery life was bad on Ubuntu 24.04 but good on the pre-release 26.04, then I'd advertise the good figures and write "tested on Ubuntu…

Looks much closer to Haiku than Sonnet. Maybe "Qwen3.5 122B offers Haiku 4.5 performance on local computers" would be a more realistic and defensible claim.
The other advantage of fibre is subtlety if you can't (or don't want to) run it through walls. 0.9mm diameter and light enough to attach it with occasional dots of glue instead of needing cable clips.
I can second this 0.9mm transparent stuff, I've run it successfully and it's very subtle. Depending on the media converter pair you're using, you probably want UPC instead of APC. I also found that the cheapest generic…
Anecdotally, everything works flawlessly on my work machine: Optiplex Micro, Intel iGPU, Fedora KDE 43, 4K 32" primary monitor at 125% scale, 1440p 27" secondary monitor at 100%. No issues with Wayland or with anything…
I use LiteLLM as a proxy.
Instead of shutting down completely, why not this: For goo.gl links that were created by google, continue redirecting them as normal. For others, show a warning page explaining to the user that the link wasn't created…

This seems to just be a description of the normal, desired, advertised functionality of the watch.

Thank you! Just used this to clear away a load of tabs. Some gripes: I wish I could just use it standalone without it replacing the "new tab" page. I wish I could view the full title of a tab, maybe on hover. I only…
This looks fantastic and is relevant to some game modding ideas I've had. I love your blog series about decompiling Tenchu too. Thank you for releasing this stuff!
