That is configurable
There needs to be a decoy passphrase for laptops or mobiles etc. Allow access to a decoy enclave.

Instead of a killphrass/killcode, give them access to playground of `dummy` data.

THIS IS A MASSIVE WALL OF TEXT
Isn't investment like a form of debt, or well obligation to make returns?

If VC provide you funds, there is an expectation of returns, otherwise the board would vote you out.

Yeah it's not a traditional loan from a bank, but it's not a 0% interest loan either.

There needs to be an OpenBao like implementation. I really like OpenBao but wish it was a little simplier to update policies.

There is the non ultra series and SE series.

I prefer crossink, it has those small little features that cross point didn’t from a QoL perspective

Because it’d be even thicker with a thicker device?
Can be set to less attempts via MDM profiles.

Same for Android.

Give them time, they'll work out their (Chinese UI/UX) groove just like they're working out EVs in the Chinese market. Copy first, improve and adjust later.
1. Square Note template 2. Clipboard 3. dotted line boundary

Select them, then click + drag on the canvas.

Took me a minute to figure it out.

That's the case with Self-hosting anything. It is the privacy that matters.

Balanced on interconnects. JDS Labs ATOM/DAC.

Sound is subjective.

HD6XX was too harsh in the highs for me. I think HD600s are tuned ever so slightly better.

Also base DACs from a MBP M1 (max) were fine to drive it for me. Both HD600/XX

Wireless:

- Top tier general: sennheiser Hbd 630

- good enough: sennheiser momentum 4 (affordable)

- good ANC and “bassy”: Sony xm5/xm6 (‘muddy’ for some)

- I like the Bose ANC profile: Bose QC2

All of them have bad microphones (worse than wired ear pods)

All of them have good to great ANC

All of them are wireless

If you need a good mic then get dedicated headset for calls. Otherwise settle for “ok”

I didn’t include bathys/marklevin cause the new senn 630 outplay them on all fronts.

4 clicks from control centre on stock settings. Two if you add the Bluetooth widget into control centre. Swipe down control centre > Bluetooth > hey presto

As for ATV, yeah that thing is deep

Nagging for OneDrive? Nagging for sign in? Nagging for edge-as-default? Nagging for copilot with edge? Nagging for sync your bookmarks and let copilot handle it?

I’m a local account user. I don’t use any of the above.

'Plenty' vs an atrocious amount that constantly nags.

MacOS's ads whilst I still detest, is a one-off prompt. Window's ads can sometimes only be removed with registry key configs OR deployment of management policies...

Just wait til she jumps on a windows 11 device!

But I do agree with you. Thankfully it is minimal relative to windows.

Base m4 Mac mini. Only beach balling is when I saturate 16GB with compiles and builds. That thing of yours is a lemon.

Obsidian is amazing on my desktop environments but I shared the same sentiment with you, on mobile I use Apple Notes and transpose to Obsidian if its worth doing so...
Re:Ask HN: Anyone Using a Mac Studio for Local AI/LLM? on Saturday February 07, 2026 @09:15PM (#46930657)
Would matmul acceleration in m5 do much to improve token Generation? I’m planning to upgrade when the new studio updates to m5 but if it’s not much of a shift I’ll probably look at a second hand 256+ ram m3 studio.

Edit: of course the software would need to leverage the neural accelerators which is another variable if the software supports it in the first place

Have you tried Kagi?
Considering there was a whole hubbub starting from late Aug 2025 RE: Certification of ALL Android apps/.apks: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/08/elevating-...

Followed by a partial walk-back from Google in mid Nov 2025: https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2025/11/android-de...

I would say there is a substantial amount of users willing to install off-play Store .APKs. Substantial enough they're also willing to take a 'jump' and accept the risks/errors displayed
