Yes. Macrumors here says “don’t buy” [0], but only because they tend to recommend only if tech is “new”. I have this ATv gen and it’s not perfect, but is really the best streaming box, having used roku and nvidia shield. PS: get the version with wired ethernet if you can…wifi works, but no surprise that wired is more solid.

New comment by asix66 in "Reviving a modular cargo bike design from the 1930s"

asix66 — Tue, 13 May 2025 02:22:12 +0000

In Copenhagen, Denmark, these are used all over the city to, well, deliver cargo.

Then, annually they have a fun cargo-bike race called "Svajerløb" [0]

The event is based on traditional races that took place between the 1930s and 1960s. In the race, riders typically complete four laps - the first lap ridden with an empty cargo bike, then stopping to load up their bikes with cargo before completing three more laps with the full load. [1]

It's super fun.

Used sub-title for submit title since I find it a bit more descriptive of the article.

OG Verge title is: "Mark Zuckerberg just declared war on the entire advertising industry"

Steve Wozniak's startup, Privateer[0], was originally created to clean up space junk, but it seems now their “mission” is to develop better tracking of objects in space, and to use this data to help avert disastrous collisions.

On the site is a fun interactive object tracker.

New comment by asix66 in "Apple and Meta go to war over interoperability vs. privacy"

asix66 — Mon, 30 Dec 2024 18:21:38 +0000

Seems oxymoronic as Meta doesn’t allow interoperability in order to maintain its walled garden. Apple does the same but it’s generally done in the space of privacy- security and privacy going hand in hand. I have little faith in government, any government, when it comes to technology. Either through ignorance or motive, they usually make decisions that result in less privacy, less security.

Linked pic is from 2010, but article says they still use the C64s. I'd love for someone to go there and get a new pic, maybe a quick interview on how it's going using C64 in today's age. Can they link to modern payment systems, f.ex.?
