I suggested the Navicat team to put in Redis support in 2020 and they put in a ticket to their Dev team. And in 2023 they added support for Redis and emailing me back saying they did it and released it. I was kinda in disbelief and happy. But, I love their backup and restore option
Re:Sony's TV business is being taken over by Tcl on Tuesday January 20, 2026 @08:27AM (#46691608)
This reminds of Sharp and Hisense but I really hope Sony keeps making more high-end TVs. Also, I'm glad Panasonic is back the in US for TVs.

I think the Unknown category could be custom standalone devices like Playstation, FireTV, webOS, and Switch which have browsers to make those stats but could be BSD based. And, I wouldn't exclude ChromeOS also, I thought it's built off of Gentoo Linux.

I thought the whole video is good watch too.

I wonder what happens to their Kasa brand of smart devices then. I have bunch of wall switches and smart power plugs with them.
I never used Notion before but looks pretty interesting. But, I use Navicat and DBeaver for viewing and editing my Postgres tables.

There's free version now for Navicat I noticed yesterday. https://dbeaver.io/download/ https://navicat.com/en/download/navicat-premium-lite

Re:The Death of NYC Congestion Pricing on Friday June 28, 2024 @09:38AM (#40820514)
I'm curious, in London did they cut the fares for subways when they implemented the tolls?

The one thing that has been bothering me about NYC congestion toll is I figured there was be a cut in the fares for subways and rail to entice more riders. But I don't see that mentioned; just for capital projects it seems.

I have seen ads on my CX at one time but I think I might of disabled them at one point. https://www.reddit.com/r/OLED/comments/8yts0m/ad_blocking_so...

But I don’t think high end TVs like the LG OLEDs are not safe from ADs since it’s extra revenue

I use PHP with Laravel for my day job and it’s been fun. There’s a learning curve of how things are structured and done but I think it has been rewarding overall.
Re:Investors conclude that Tesla is a carmaker, not a tech firm on Thursday January 05, 2023 @10:57AM (#34261574)
I think a lot of car manufacturers have gone the path of no physical switches and it's becoming irritating. You shouldn't have to navigate screens to adjust your hvac while driving.

I've played with SQLAlchemy and Django's ORM in the past with Python but as of late I have been taking a liken to Eloquent while working with PHP's Laravel. It's always weird trying an ORM when coming from native SQL but I think eloquent might of found a happy medium as it seems flexible to me.

https://laravel.com/docs/8.x/eloquent

I felt the same way.

I had a Dell C400 about 12yrs ago running on P3m. But, it was light and compact but dated back then and running Windows XP. So, I learned how to install back then Gentoo and it ran beautifully. I would of held onto it but the battery wouldn't last and couldn't find a good replacement.

I kinda having the same issue with my Samsung Chromebook XE303C12 today lol. But it's limited by soldered on hardware and I think the display driver is closed source.

Re:Would you prefer working from home after the pandemic? on Friday April 02, 2021 @08:34AM (#26670913)
Same thing happen here and I like the hybrid model. I really did miss being around my coworkers so this helped but not every function of the office needs to be in person.

Needs a 3rd option on that poll.

I would check out DSLReports and ask them there. http://www.dslreports.com/forums/all

Chances are they experienced it there too. But I had an issue like that with Cablevision at 3-4am when they would push out firmware updates to the modem.

Not necessarily you can have terabytes of just video footage or photos which isn't that performance intensive or just plain old backup. Depends on the use case and price. Plus I have had a Samsung SSD fail on me and had to RMA it. So I would tell anyone SSDs are not fail proof.

Re:Building a Linux Desktop for Cloud Native Development on Monday February 03, 2020 @08:51AM (#22224076)
Yep pretty much.... I didn't have any takeaways from it. Years ago I had a Gentoo desktop which was fun but hard to maintain. But, these days having VMware or Virtual box with Centos or Ubuntu is easier to deal and develop with.
