Take your upvote...not happy about it....but here
I read this as if they purchased it from Alibaba the marketplace.....
I think that the usage of WebView2 is a moot point. It effectively is an Edge browser just the same as Edge itself. There may be other underlying issues, but I'd be shocked if WebView2 was to blame.
I believe that Enterprise plans have no bundled usage.

HOMEBREW_NO_AUTO_UPDATE=1 will disable this (annoying) behavior. Set it in your bashrc or zshrc.

That's why I clicked the title...thought for sure I was getting some engine knowledge
Re:I tried every todo app and ended up with a .txt file on Monday August 11, 2025 @10:31AM (#44864531)
This flies a bit in the face of the author's "The sync breaks. The company sells out and dies" point and the simple beauty of a text file. I find that Obsidian.md is just one step above a text file.

Simple daily notes, which are automatically organized into year and month folders. (Tip: Set the date format to YYYY/YYYY-MM/YYYY-MM-DD)

The Sync feature works great, but no reason you couldn't do this with just git on your own.

Plenty of built-in features (Plugins, ToDos, etc...)

Cross platform apps.

Markdown

Free. The sync feature is $4/month. Worth it for me.

They also have a one-time $25 payment to get early access to beta versions and a VIP discord channel.

Typsense as a product has been great (hosted cluster). Customer support has been awesome as well.

Tumble Leaf is incredible

Re:Trivial REST server in various languages to compare on Wednesday November 20, 2024 @06:59AM (#42193084)
I was wondering this as well. The Python example almost felt like cheating with FastApi....but I suppose it's also pythonic.
The Masters app is truly incredible, I don't know if it gets enough praise.
Re:Bank of America raises minimum hourly pay on Tuesday September 10, 2024 @09:58AM (#41500818)
My grandmother worked for a bank for the better part of her life. She used to bring old punch cards home to use for notes/grocery lists. My mom and I used to drive through her teller window and send her cookies through the tubes or the document slot.
Re:Bank of America raises minimum hourly pay on Tuesday September 10, 2024 @09:56AM (#41500804)
Yes, many banks have drive-through tellers that use Pneumatic tubes to send things back and forth
S3 basically killed a perfectly good Dell XPS 15 a few years ago. The fan would never stop running.
Re:Fly.io initiates Region-specific Machines pricing on Thursday July 04, 2024 @12:31PM (#40876167)
I'm curious as well. Pretty happy with DO overall; but it is relatively vanilla as far as a hosting product goes.
Re:Sending Emails to my three-year-old on Monday June 10, 2024 @02:08PM (#40636342)
I'd like to do this as well. BUT, I have serious doubts that free gmail will be around long enough. Any thoughts on an alternative service? DIY with markdown and git hosted somewhere portable maybe....
Re:New iPad Pro with M4 chip and Apple Pencil Pro on Tuesday May 07, 2024 @12:39PM (#40288020)
The pencil for the Remarkable tablet has this feature. I found that it was a great way to ease into digital note taking. Matching a real-world feature felt very natural.

I got more than a little excited that somehow O'Shea Jackson picked up an interesting hobby.
Or leave a voicemail. I'm guessing that their phone service was a landline or VOIP that didn't support sending SMS.

Having worked a lot on the shipper side, it's possible that the package hasn't been picked up by the carrier yet. I've seen tracking numbers issued "client-side" that get re-issued or invalidated after pickup as well.
Re:ExifTool Turns 20 on Monday November 20, 2023 @09:51PM (#38358402)
This is likely one of those "never done" projects.
I put a heatsink and fan on the outside of mine. Didn't trust the "passive" cooling

Anybody have experience with this in comparison to parabola?
On the flip side, does anybody have experience with the commercially available options out there? Relatively small footprint. Maybe 4 locations with around 500 skus per location.
Re:Amazon Photos just ate 240,364 of my photos on Thursday March 16, 2023 @12:29PM (#35184250)
I have PhotoSync (https://www.photosync-app.com/home.html) set up to automatically send all my iCloud photos to my home NAS which automatically backs up to Backblaze. I can also specify other destinations for PhotoSync and the NAS backup.
Re:NYC Slice on Wednesday January 11, 2023 @03:32PM (#34344249)
Similarly, you could do the same thing on the other end of the state in Buffalo, NY. Hard to find a truly disappointing slice. What you will find, however, is a variety in "style" of pizza. They all live somewhere in the neighborhood of 80/20 NY/Chicago style. Easy to find a nice thin slice, but plenty of thicker doughier options. Never so far as a full deep-dish.
Re:Devirtualizing Nike.com's Bot Protection (Part 1) on Saturday January 07, 2023 @12:06PM (#34290054)
Based on your experience, do you think dutch auction or reverse-dutch auction is a viable soft mechanism for beating bots?
