This sounds like a huge feature though? Basically, a digital attorney–client privilege.

There's nothing self-hosted about relying on Cloudflare for _literally_ everything.

It's mentioned in video, here's an excerpt from FAQ [0]:

> Do creators disclose that a post is paid?

> Yes, every time. Every creator post we place carries X's paid partnership label. That is an FTC requirement for any post where a brand has paid or given something of value, and it is X's own rule for sponsored content.

Although, there are other services, that sound shady.

> Just use a magnetic hard disk and your data will be fine for many decades if not centuries

It is absolutely not safe for many decades. If you haven't encountered any drive failures yet — you're lucky.

> A hard disk is cheap and stores several Terabytes

You should check prices again, I wouldn't say cheap considering price bump during the last year (or around so). M-Disks are way less convenient, but pretty reasonable for their cost.

I was reading this and thinking about it too — sounds like author wants a tiling WM but with a friendlier UX?

I honestly don't get why they ignore existing options due to configs. Give it a try, maybe it won't be _that_ bad.

Looks like a jab at Lovable.

Wonder what domain they're going to pick next. I feel like many LLM-dependent businesses are going to get sherlocked by OpenAI and Anthropic.

I don't think they are, and given amount of votes on each — seems like so does the community.

Regarding Lenovo: it's the first laptop with AirJet, sure, but it's not the first computer in general. Zotac released a mini PC with the very same AirJet in 2023. It looks dope, but it's just not that interesting or new.

Regarding Brax: Braxman is a well-known scammer. The world would be a better place if nobody paid any attention to this person.

If you expect a story about how this migration to native went from technical PoV, they've already shared this: https://shopify.engineering/shop-app-migration

It sounds pretty solid, so I wouldn't expect anything to change in just 6 months.

But you probably want to do something on your phone after unlocking it anyway? It's solved by conductive gloves during winter, sure. Other use cases remain problematic.

> All you really need are easy to replace batteries.

They are easy _enough_ to replace already. Is it as easy as 20 years ago? Surely not. It also seems reasonable that something you're going to be realistically doing once per 3-4 years would require 1 or 2 hours.

Moreover, the regulation doesn't affect this process, apart from "no proprietary tools".

> That’s the only part that will wear out within a reasonable lifecycle.

Millions of broken screens and back glass/plastic panels beg to differ.

Wow, this looks amazing!

I hope we can get a better suited hardware though. Larger buttons, smaller device overall. 4.7" sounds huge, almost size of a phone.

TV is a client. If I remember correctly, it shouldn't transmit anything (unless connected) other than probe requests during active scanning.

Which could still be illegal, but I don't think anyone will realistically investigate a low-power device sending a few packets occasionally.

Are you in an elementary school right now? If not, then I fail to see how this is relevant to kids using it there.

One controversial project supporting another controversial project. Wonder how and why that happened.

I am inclined to believe everyone sane will distance themselves from it. Just like GNOME did.

I believe it's more about money ending up in an overhyped vibecoded Bash mess maintained by a very controversial figure. And that's putting it mildly.
