I think you might be looking the wrong direction along the timeline.

I worked on converting an existing knockoutjs SPA into a PWA around that time. I won't claim it was a pleasant experience but it was probably a lot easier and quicker than a small team of webdevs learning mobile dev and cheaper than a new hire. It wasn't a small or basic app, but we did have the advantage of it being a B2B tool that would only be used on android tablets. IIRC it was going to be either extra work or maybe even impossible to get the same functionality on iOS/safari at the time so we just didn't.

Damn, I've only ever seen it on Region 1 dvd and didn't even realize. I guess I have an excuse to rewatch now

My thinkpad doesn't even have upgradable RAM. And it's from 2017, not even a new trend. I think that's bare minimum for considering a laptop to be modular or even upgradeable.

It wasn't nice for Linux. I remember having to run a windows vm just to watch netflix in a browser back when their player was silverlight.

Well that is reassuring. This administration has demonstrated an excellent track record of respecting and following judicial orders.

At least on the roku apps most of them do for me. I might be willing to believe that it's just them unintentionally misconfiguring it or something; I'm sure roku isn't the primary focus for any of them, but either way, they need to fix it.

"Love it or leave it!"

First good idea out of Florida in a long time

How do you wind up getting that many emails that you don't want? I'm genuinely curious because I get a couple of emails a day, and they're usually ones that I wanted to get. High spam volume and poor filtering from the email provider? Signing up for every newsletter and never unsubscribing?

Plenty like Aider and Cline can connect to pretty much any model with an API.

In that case, your objection seems to be to light weight or minimal frameworks rather than SPAs on this point. There are plenty of minimal backend frameworks for Node (and Python, and others) that can be and are used to build traditional "load a page for every interaction" applications, and Zod or something like it would be useful for those since minimal frameworks often don't include validation. Zod isn't exclusively for SPAs or even web applications. It's schema validation, which is useful in many domains.

Yeah, because scaling a mounting or exploring the ocean is exactly the same as "punch me in the kidney bro, it'll be funny".

Do actual conversations normally happen in digital modes (whether CW or one of the ones that need a computer)? I got my technician license years ago and quit for the reasons others have listed above but have considered getting back into it for digital HF, but I've gotten the impression that people mostly just exchange callsigns and signal reports then move on to the next contact. I'm basically looking for old internet chatroom vibes but over radio.

What do you use, if anything, for linking between your notes? I'd ideally like to move to just plain markdown/text files, but being able to link notes together seems like an essential feature. Vimwiki seems to have support for linking and navigating between notes within markdown, but then I don't think Markor would be able to handle them, and it doesn't seem like there's any automated way to update references if a link is moved. I've considered writing some small scripts to automate the gaps, but then it starts to feel like I'm just designing another note app.

fun?
