Microsoft forced me to switch to Apple AND Linux.

This looks so useful.

Why Meta and not OAI/Anthropic or Google? Is this their attempt after llama4?

Appeals to emotions won't get you anywhere. What else is next, "We NEED to reelect Trump to restore Christendom in the West!!!"?

Headline seems overstated.

strongbox is a reasonable app for iOS and you can set it up for sftp to your main self hosted server.

I agree, I use Windsurf for personal projects and I think the pricing model is a bit better than what a professional dev would be using on cursor or something like that.

This looks exciting. I hope they add this to Windsurf soon.

Is this even true for such a sensitive subject like email where there are insane blacklists/whitelists everywhere in which you are forced to use a middleman either way so your emails enter someone's inbox?

What would be the downsides of running this as a self hosted instance because i would imagine github would not take kindly to this usecase?

you have to feed it multiple arguments with rate limiting and long wait times. i am not sure if there have been recent updates other than the js interpreter but ive had to spin up a docker instance of a browser to feed it session cookies as well.

Maybe for hobbyists it's more of practicing how to play around with embedded systems? Over a decade ago I sorta got burned by Odroid dropping support for one of their early units despite being much faster than the 2Bs that were selling at the time (plus the annoying cost of emmcs or whatever), so I absolutely agree with your point.

By snapshots do you mean the entire orderbook in a specific point in time or the entire history that gets instiantiated?

New comment by fibers in "iPhone Air"

When they first introduced eSIM only on the 13 iirc, not every country had that rolled out especially with old telcos in South America so if you travelled there for work or family you were completely shut out and it means buying a burner. I am not sure how that has progressed in the past 4 years but hopefully more telcos adopt it. The downside is no real portability of cheap plans using regular sim cards.

Live translation u/i feels like a significant upgrade for that specific product, especially if you are in a dense area with different types of speakers. It feels like a way better MVP than Meta Glasses that are only meant to do troll videos on tiktok or youtube. The examples they trotted out feel ridiculous but that's because they have been approved by their internal systems.

What exactly is their strategy with preventing cannibalizing sales between the Air and the Pro Max? This release makes no sense.

Why coal and not shale? Is this not cope?

I agree with you, nuclear and renewables are the future but surely there has to be a better way to speed these deployments to production right?

Looking at the CEO's source he is talking about the PR release from GM about adding capacity for straight up ICE vehicles. Why the hell aren't they investing in hybrids?
