Search feels like it used to be much better in finding a balance between showing app vs files vs web - feels really broken somehow and I wonder if there’s any setting I can change.

Nah I think the brain shuts down once you’re not in the driver seat. Wouldn’t see someone care enough to throw something at others from a taxi or a bus either.

On your post: I really don’t get why a widely used/available and pretty standard (as in there aren’t 5000 weird variations - more or less one per device of 4-5 devices per year, mostly the same controllers for most things) group of hardware doesn’t get more love from the Linux community. It’s the perfect case for showing the superiority of the open source model and the devices are amazing for their age.

Without any bloat it could show that they also perform reasonably well and it also solves the gaming problem on Mac.

I’ve also updated a few patches but it seems to be a pain to submit these.

ChatGPT just found a solution to the sleep problem - but it only works if I deactivate wake on wlan, which would defy the purpose of enabling suspend for me (I use it as my remote development box, want to be able to ssh into it and don’t have any cables in that room).

Will update once I’ve solved this.

Anything built on Electron can be super slow- had issues with snap packages of VS Code and Slack being super slow because CPU would render.

Same problem with iMac - got 5k mostly working and a patch for audio using my favorite coding assistant, but that final bit remains tricky. Will post to GitHub if I can solve it.

Yeah CEC is a bit tricky sometimes. How about auto-off from the TV itself and then a timer for a HA controlled outlet to turn off power after that using automation (i.e., when the streaming device is off for a x minutes)

If you're streaming via AppleTV, why do you need to give the TV itself access to the network?

No one in their right mind would use Edge, unless the employer's IT forces them to - and in that case they've given up on the tools the employer gives them already and wouldn't care enough to hate.

Better not grow then!

Add to that that notion mcp works for the chat but not code. now my workflow has docs I comment with others in notion, while the actual work and source of truth is in GitHub.

Need to fall back to codex to keep things in sync, but that's a great opportunity to also make sure I can compare how things run - and it catches a lot of issues with Claude Code and is great at fixing small/medium issues.

Steer clear from co-worker 1..

One interesting observation I had between ChatGPT and Claude before I was familiar with openclaw came when I asked if about the difference between ChatGPT and Claude for coding and if I can get to a setup that can use both. At that time I had both subscriptions, felt it was better to build with Claude but was frequently reaching limits.

ChatGPT found it was a great idea and that I can use Claude for planning and gave me instructions on how to best hand off the building part. Claude told me it’s a horrible idea.

Claude also burns much more liberally through tokens, eg reading through entire irrelevant docs.

Openclaw is great for resolving this since I much more control which work goes where and also gives a much better user experience without all the back and forth to understand what context it has (my use case is to build things from my phone while I’m in senseless meetings in my day job).

Fully agree on the alternatives. In the end Claude’s experience is worse, while it still makes bad decisions if you let it. Better to get a good workflow on a less capable model.

I got a Mac mini and was very positively surprised that it still ran the older version. I can use the size setting I'm comfortable with in the display menu. When I use Tahoe, I need to make the setting smaller to have a reasonable amount of apps open, but then it's uncomfortable to read.

This could at least be done after release, but I don’t think any incentives are there, while collecting the data is incredibly difficult

Bit of a tangent: Not sure if it's because I grew up with other games, but somehow the aesthetics of modern games just seems off to me. That being said, I didn't manage to get back into SimCity gameplay.

I think it’s worth considering the alternate scenario of banning it and it happening illegally, which arguably is a worse outcome.

This adds to the burden of finding what to ban, which may be different depending on who you ask.

Sounds like a win to me, you can leave more for productive activity to grow and attract more, there less incentive for illegal gambling, and no one is forced to do it.

If there’s a massive burden with addicts, you can still impose that the gambling industry pays more to offset.

Would it make a difference if you compile the whole system vs. just the programs you want optimized?

As in, are there any common libraries or parts of the system that typically slow things down, or was this more targeting a time when hardware was more limited so improving all would have made things feel faster in general.

I mean, has Microsoft? Last two places I've worked at are in the Office ecosystem and it's incredibly bad. I need to reconcile documents all the time like it's 2005, sharing takes 15 clicks (which is why it's a massive pain to get Sharepoint AI ready, since everyone just shares with all rather than specifying with who to specifically).

Also super annoying if you haven’t set up email on a device (like my iPad), now I have back and forth with my phone instead of going through my password manager.

Which will cost many thousands in admin per year

Not sure if this is nostalgia: What I don't get with modern games, at least on the most likely device I could be using for gaming - the iPad - is how ugly they are.

Even AoE and Settlers (both preferably in the second edition) look soooo much better to me than most of the games I can find, they look just strange, both the remakes from "brand name" studios and a lot of the smaller games like you'd find on Apple Arcade.

I’ve had quite a hard time compared to setting up my router with opnsense, but I do get how challenging it is to offer something that lets you configure everything on just about any device.

It would be quite hard getting sane defaults for all sorts of configs, e.g. multi AP setup as in my case.

Fully with you on dropping Windows, and I don’t think cloud really has positive ROI vs building or hosting in a lot of cases. There are a lot of good cases though, scaling, access etc.

This would be incredibly funny to follow. Fax machines and mainframes would make an impressive return, as Europe moves even more towards a more relaxed pace.

Isn’t half of Amazon just resellers of aliexpress with a markup?

One announce with eSIM is that you can’t move them freely, despite being advertised as equivalent. Depending on the provider it can get quite complicated (physical visit in store, fees) to move to another device.

There's a summary from the EU: [0]

Looks like they're not all working that great: [1], [2]

I don't think all assistants are that bad in general, but I'm not sure that taking all capabilities and responsibilities (well that point is a bit of an open question with these systems) away from the driver is the right approach.

If you drive like a decent human being (and as required by law in most places), it can be quite safe already, adding complexity may actually cause issues. That some people don't drive that way shouldn't be the reason to force these systems on to everyone, better to do a good job in teaching driving (driving schools in my country are expensive, but otherwise mostly worthless except for the safety training which strangely enough is done after getting the license), etc.

EU is also quite involved by making sure that a car can’t simply be a car anymore but needs a lot of complex systems that may ore may not work as intended, like remote capabilities etc.
