I think I’ve boycotted sony for one thing or the other for the large part of my adult life. Only backed down in 2021 and bought some shares. Time to return back to normal I guess.

I’ve patiently waited until the flashing guide for the roborock s8 was out, went to buy the s8 pro ultra, just to discover valetudo has dropped the support, because appearently a different version of the same robot was silently released, that would’ve been turned into a brick if I tried the installation procedure.

Now I have a dumb robot. It does like 95% of what I expect it to do, but I might at least solder an ep32 to the top buttons so that scheduling through the home assistant would be possible

Some people stuggle to learn a second language their entire lives. These badasses did it for a gig!

people have stories how the dev is an ass

If an opensource project has an author who’s not a jerk, that’s when you get suspicious!

I once put my homelab rack outside of my apartment, in the hall. Then used it to catch a bastard who kept stealing my bike light, and later tried to snatch the whole bike.

The last time I watched the “Don’t date a robot” episode of Futurama, it was a fiction.

No wonder. That was bound to happen after the humanity as a collective decided to replace the clear labels written in an actual alphabet for some undecipherable monochrome pictograms. Majoring in egytology shouldn’t be a requirement for recycling.

The more shocking is that one guy who KNOWS it’s sqlite, but ain’t afraid to admit it!

You should apply for a marketing position in broadcom. The people responsible for the vmware software suite just love to do stunts like this.

Piping scripts directly to bash is a security risk

Nobody has ever explained why. What is the difference between executing a script directly from curl, and adding a repository which downloads a package which contains a script.

This might also be the beginning of android.

So far, people have been OK with modifying the existing phones to fit their needs. We’re slowly approaching the critical inconvenience point beyond which it might be easier to buy OEM parts and start assembling un-googled phones.

Let me help.

What I really don’t get is people delivering with someone else (also an adult) in the vehicle

If you could spend the boring part of your job chatting with friends, would you decline?

People don’t browse the PSN store, because it’s crap. I mean, the steam store is pretty bad, but I still manage to just browse and bookmark some games there to get back to later.

When I hear people talking about books, they often speak of them as if it was a comodity. Do some people just read a random book every once in a while?

What am I missing?

Yes. The most clever gangs even incorporate and offer legit security services for the government.

Although, it took them a while to realize that this is the best exit strategy, so the '90s were a bit crazy in the eastern europe.
