That’s what I get for being a hater 🤣

AGI apparently doesn’t mean anything anymore

The Pebble was my first and all-time favorite wearable. That said, I’m a bit reluctant to purchase a new one, since I recall the build being somewhat low quality. I had several units whose screens began to fail. Might still have to though… Nothing has filled the gap they left

That’s a bomb headline 😂

Have our attention spans deteriorated so much that something like this is actually profitable???

Love this! I’m always excited to see tools that use plain text formats

Or maybe… hire a diverse set of journalists to cover different points of view???

That’s quite the oxymoron

It’s great that there are new languages coming along that strike a balance between performance and safety. However, there’s always going to be a need for unsafe, low-level code. I work in semiconductors and occasionally have to write firmware and drivers for our devices. There’s no avoiding C in those environments.

What this administration fails to understand is that the USA currently lacks the workforce to be self-sufficient in semiconductors. Cutting off the supply of chips via tariffs and constricting federal funds to foundries isn’t going to magically make the country a semiconductor powerhouse. We’ve got the capability to build fabrication sites, sure. What we need is a workforce—people with graduate degrees in electrical and computer engineering. And that’s going to take time. This whole ordeal is sloppy and embarrassing

This would be a best-case scenario for me. I’ve never used Pixelmator, but I have extensive experience with Photoshop and Affinity Photo. Over the years, the addition of advanced editing features to the Apple Photos application means I open those advanced tools less and less. I don’t expect Photos to ever become a full-service editor, but it’s exciting to imagine where they can take it with this acquisition.

That, and I think Apple generally does justice to applications they acquire. Logic Pro and Final Cut Pro are prime examples.

Wow, that’s great. I don’t know of any other program that supports iWork files.

Every time I see a headline that contains the word “slams,” I want to slam my head on the table

All dumbphones are niche (luxury) devices, usually developed by a small team and manufactured in low-volume batches. Companies like Light are not offsetting development and manufacturing costs by selling you subscription services and serving ads. They’ve got a bona fide incentive to keep you as a customer by providing exceptional hardware and software. But everyone’s definition of what’s worth it varies, so only you can decide ;)

Check out the Light Phone III. It has everything you requested. I’ve got Light Phone II, and I love it.

It’ll be interesting to see what people have to say about this new Pi when it ships. I would think most people looking to use a Pi as a desktop would go for the 400/500 series.

It’s awesome to see a project written with Zig!

I also use Homebank, and it’s more than enough for my needs as a single guy

The image-to-text model is impressive. I could see it being useful for smart search of your library, allowing users to find photos with a high-level description.

I’m not sure why it’s being reported on as though the technology is a privacy or security threat, though. If you’ve given a storage provider access to your photos anyway, using a vision model isn’t going to give them anything extra.

That said, I do love self-hosted photo solutions like Immich and Ente. Hope they continue to grow.

Google Glass finally making a comeback?
