Use signal and disable notification previews… Apple saves even cleared notification text previews on device, which the feds just used in a recent case…

Say what you want but the layoffs of people who don’t use these tools getting replaced with those who can have and continue to happen; I miss manual coding just as much as the next man but this seems like a hot take

I had this exact problem on my AirPod pros too! It is the internal mic, but if you forcefully suck the air out from the black mesh microphone openings, it gets rid of it.

There’s some random form of someone out there who figured this out, so credit to them, but this fixed mine (I couldn’t bear transparency mode for the longest time lol)

Scrolled down just to find this comment

I was initially so happy to see a Linux build that looked so much like macOS, but then saw windows 11 pro on the about, and died inside..

I guess that’s why it has 64 gb of ram, so that there’s 10 left for applications after windows is done lol

40 year old software dev in Detroit Michigan?

Not that I care, and that could be wildly off, but opsec is a wide term… and Claude one shot that… so safe out there bro, AI is wild

Random question, but will this be open sourced at any point? Just asking as a curious party who just bought one for exploration lol

Also super random question but would you happen to have any idea/advice on how to get a Raytac MDBT50Q-CX Nordic nRF52840 Dongle (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0DP6MVDZQ) flashed with ButteRFly (https://github.com/whad-team/butterfly)?

I got it flashed through nrfutil with sniffer and sweyntooth, but butterfly has not been working no matter what I try and do…

Thanks for even taking the time to read this :)

It’s all context/ use case; I’ve had weird things too but if you only use markdown inputs and specific prompts Gemini 3 Pro is insane, not to mention the context window

Also because of the long context window (1 mil tokens on thinking and pro! Claude and OpenAI only have 128k) deep research is the best

That being said, for coding I definitely still use Codex with GPT 5.3 XHigh lol

Why parakeet over whisper v3 turbo? Just curious as one who heavily uses whisper, I’ve seemed to have better results with that

Go read ai2027 and then be ashamed of yourself /s

But seriously, llms can transmit ideas to each other through English that we do understand, we are screwed if it’s another language lol

This feels like saying “what if we just coded in raw HTML CSS instead of JS library bloat.”

Which is valid but also this article idea seems to make the rounds every two weeks

They really said it’s capturing everything when A$AP Rocky’s Gaussian splatted mouth in that video be looking worse than AI generated video lol

I was curious about this too and it’s actually a bug— these blue dots are random parks or park features. Most parks are polygons, but less than 5% or them are points from volunteer mappers who didn’t make them polygons and so these stray points seem to slip through and get plotted as the matplotlib default color…

If only I knew this before I printed it out and attached it all together with rasterbator lol

Holy heck exporting to PDF/SVG for large cities is laggy, just patched the repo and did it for one over half a million people and it’s insanely slow lol

Lol I used codex to reverse engineer itself to farm the oauth and even made it OpenAI API compatible
