These mention 25-30 fps, so the mechanism may cost a bit to be that sturdy.

I wonder if anyone makes cheaper versions that you're only supposed to update at 1 frame per minute or less...


> hey they aren't shipping their side-projects as quickly or numerously as they would like

What also needs to be shipped quickly and numerously? Oh, I remember, unsolicited commercial email...


Also the chatbots are more eager to please than a table saw. Wouldn't surprise me that you could get one to confess to murder with the right prompt.

> every Apple laptop I've ever owned has lasted 10+ years

.. as long as you avoided the emoji keyboard era, or never used an emoji keyboard laptop outdoors or even with your windo open :)

I have laptops much older than the ~2018 that work perfectly. But not only the 2018's keyboard broke, but to add insult to the injury they used a display cable that was too short in that generation and that broke too.

That is Cook's legacy :)


Exactly my experience as well. Macs were great until 2016 and great after 2020. Between that the hardware was worst in class.

> Imagine if people who don't actively use Apple Music never experienced Apple Music starting to play music by itself.

Nice dream. My wireless headphones act like in the manual when paired with my phone, but the buttons on them always start apple music when paired with my laptop instead of muting or controlling noise canceling.


Meanwhile, I can't install an iOS game i bought in 2021 (Azure Saga if it matters) because it's delisted from the app store.

Damned if you pay them, damned if you don't.



Probably requires a jailbroken ipad?

I'll take it as a lesson to not even look at games on iOS [1]. I added it to my wish list on Steam, i might get it on a sale.

[1] Not that iOS has many games. I can't afford the free ones.


No jailbreak required, just sideload it with a tool like Sideloadly. There are plenty of games, but it's understandable if you don't want to support Apple's practices.

Didn't know that tool existed, thanks for that! I assume it's using the development features in order to bypass protections?

Yep, there's some mention of automatically resigning the apps every 10 days so it's definitely using the dev tools.

Holy fucksticks. Does this really work? I could get back Marvin 3 on my phone...

Maybe not, but the USB consortium hasn't got around to polluting the USB4 namespace yet so it's safer to buy stuff with the USB4 label.

Of course, just give them some time and they'll come up with USB4 "gen classic" at 11 Mbps.


By the way, how are switches and cables for > 1Gbps these days?

You can find 2.5G switches with a reasonable amount of ports on the cheap. For 10G though the cost is still prohibitive IMHO unless you are fine with 2 ports.

For cables, I think everything converged to cat6a a while ago, which is both reasonably cheap and perfecrly fine for 10G (up to 100m from what I remember)


Mikrotik has a couple 4-5 port 10 GbE switches (one has SFP+ ports, one has RJ45), and Ubiquiti has a couple small switches now that don't quite break the bank at least.

Nicgiga and Trendnet have 8 and 5 port 10G switches for less than $250 respectively.

Hmm this is based on the original turbo vision source code. I wonder if Embarcadero or whoever owns the corpse of Borland this week can find a reason to complain.

That's what the marketing department says.

Ad/tracking blocking is one of the things that can only be trusted if it's open source, i.e. uBlock Origin.

By the way, does this Adblock Engine actually block trackers? Or it just stops the ads from displaying?


ITP is mostly part of WebKit and open source.
