I saw the whole Cloudflare Pay thing and had the exact same thoughts - this has to be some sort of phishing...

> I couldn't end up fixing it so I tossed it out.

Was the warranty support not able to repair or replace it? I haven't ran into the need to contact them yet so I am curious about how good or bad they are...

Sorry, how does new mouse firmware open this up...? USB/HID is a standard that anyone can implement, right? Is it that hard to implement a HID mouse emulator?

I think this has to do with their 2.4G dongle for their wireless keyboards - it shows up as a DirectInput (but not XInput) controller for me on Windows for whatever reason. The keyboard itself doesn't though.

As for Reduce Transparency, next iOS version has a proper slider to adjust the transparency of Liquid Glass - worth playing with for anyone on the beta

With OpenRouter this is pretty easy to see - each model page has various providers listed along with an icon marking providers with zero data retention, and the price. You can also set up an account-wide "guardrail" to prevent routing to non-ZDR providers.

When a new app is released, it takes a few days for it to get into search, for some reason. Pretty much every single time a new app releases I see a comment like this. Nothing malicious you just have to wait a bit.

New comment by aprilnya in "Open source memory layer so any AI agent can do what Claude.ai and ChatGPT do"

aprilnya — Sat, 25 Apr 2026 18:27:50 +0000

Sure, but the idea is not to have this in Claude Code, the idea is to be able to use something like LibreChat with proper memory. I don’t really need that good of a memory system for my coding agent, it’s definitely more something I need for my chat agent.

Yeah. The other advantage is a summary-based memory also just… “pieces together” things that a “store”/“remember” memory wouldn’t, because they’re things that the actual main agent would not think to store. i.e. small disconnected things across conversations that alone, would not end up in memory because they’re insignificant. But when there’s an agent looking at multiple conversations at once it can actually reason about this stuff and piece it together.

I clicked this thinking “oh, cool, someone finally made a portable version of the Claude.ai* memory system!” Spoiler, no, it’s not it at all, it’s just a “store”/“remember” memory system… as opposed to the Claude.ai memory system, where it doesn’t make the model actively have to write memories on its own, but rather has a model in the background go through your chat history and generate a summary from it.

I’ve found the latter approach to work much, much better than simple “store”/“remember” systems.

So, it just feels misleading to say this can do what Claude.ai’s can do…

(I’ve been looking for a memory system that works the same for a while, so that I can switch away from Claude.ai to something else like LibreChat, but I just haven’t found any. Might be the only thing keeping me on Claude at this point.)

*I say Claude.ai because that’s specifically what has the system; Claude Code doesn’t have this system

It’s quite good in both Spain and UK. Better at public transport than Google Maps.

Termius integrates TPM/Secure Enclave keys nicely on Windows Mac iOS etc as well, which is nice because then you can have a key on your phone (so if you lose your laptop you won’t get locked out of your servers)

Could even ask it to find recipes and then have it buy the ingredients needed for them next time it's doing your shopping!

What are you using for virtual files? I definitely found it to work much much better when I added Nextcloud through Gnome’s settings rather than the Nextcloud client
