I own books approaching 100 years old. 14 years is pretty sad

The Play Store Pass? Which not only has games but utilities https://play.google.com/store/pass/getstarted

This is clickbait greenwashing imo, if you click-through the website, they still use Zinc and Magnesium for the chemistry/electrodes which isn't much different than lithium. They also claim these metals are natural as they're found in our food and bodies... well so is lithium to some extent.

Uxtal is such a great platform to develop as a rock solid ABI. Very lightweight and stable, yet niche, it really feels like a counter-culture movement to the modern slop, vibe coding and JS that the mainstream is currently at.

I was often confused by Brian Eno and Brian Green, who made one of my favorite albums Music for Home. The later has been a musician and producer for Rufus Wainwright, Michael Bublé, John Legend and others.

country wide like that must be a bit of a pain for local web admins for those municipalities to make changes through the bureaucracy of government DNS/registrar keyholders. I have a friend who works for a university web services and adding any subdomain takes months to a year+ with committees, boards, meetings and approvals they have to go through first

It's always impressive to see a live demo in a technical blog post like this, especially one that runs so fast and slick on mobile. Kudos.

Are they powering them with USB-C? I didn't think that was possible/supported.

CBC and BBC aren't perfect, but I trust them leagues over any billionaire owned media like anything from Post Media the Murdochs, or Bezos. Really any for profit news isn't to be trusted.

Can anyone get the Agent mode to work? Does it require a plus subscription, or is it not enabled yet?

Is that allowed under GPL V3 to limit commercial use?

As a customer, I'm worried about price increases and further enshitification. The core product hasn't really improved much in the last 1-2 years with AI taking priority.

Swap always seemed more meant for desktop use. Servers you need to give the real memory expected of the application stack.
