I need to get some Meshtastic modules…
- Comment on can someone please explain what is so unique about startup like 'LOOM' ? 3 days ago:
I doubt it was the innovation that made Atlassian buy the service, but the technology itself, they were interested in using that technology themselves and it was easier to just buy the tech rather than develop it in house.
- Comment on Left Apple Maps this week for Magic Earth 4 days ago:
I suspected as much, but in the decade I have been living here, there has never been a camera in that area…
- Comment on Left Apple Maps this week for Magic Earth 4 days ago:
It warned me about something called “static camera” or similar, where there are none.
It also warned me about my speed being too high, at that time it was accurate, but later I saw the speedlimit display show the wrong information.
The speedometer is more prominantly displayed in Magic than in Google Maps, it shows on a dark black background while Google maps has their speed info so that it blends into the background, making it less distracting, also Maps shows it only when I am actively navigating, Magic shows it constantly.

I know about them, I didn’t realize that they were the same company here, interesting.

Excellent!

You can install it in a compatible computer.
- Comment on Left Apple Maps this week for Magic Earth 5 days ago:
I’ll gladly give it a try, but I have a question…
How to this company make money?
There are no ads, and they claim to not sell my info, yet they appear to have the funds to make a nice app with a lot of interesting features, how to they accomplish this?

Another good point, well made!

It gets even more basic than that.
Trump is just plain repulsive.

It’s fine, we all have had different experiences.

I have done so, many, many times, never had any issue in the last decades

So this is the Land Warrior concept that keeps going?

In what way do you find glasses inconvenient due to cold?
Sure, there used to be an issue with glasses foggin up, but with anti fog coatings it is bot an issue I have experienced in decades.
Regarding headgear, I can see that being an issue.
- Comment on ENHANCE 1 week ago:
As I noted, I have worn glasses since kindergarten, and that had never been an issue.
- Comment on ENHANCE 1 week ago:
Good point, when I made the commend I forgot about medical issues like that, and only considered the issue a fashion one, sorry about that.
- Comment on ENHANCE 1 week ago:
I am sorry to hear that, I made my earlier comment without considering medical issues like this.
I should have been more clear on what I meant, sorry for the confusion.
- Comment on ENHANCE 1 week ago:
But then they miss out of the amazing feeling of washing your glasses in hot water and dishsoap, and put in on clean and warm glasses radiating heat onto the eyes for a few seconds
- Comment on ENHANCE 1 week ago:
I can understand that, it is a special usecase.
- Comment on ENHANCE 1 week ago:
I have worn glasses since kindergarten, I don’t get why people dislike them so much that they rather shove plastic in to their eyes than wear glasses.
Glasses are fantastic, not only do they correct your vision, they also protect your eyes against rain, wind and dust.
- Comment on Jeep Introduces Pop-Up Ads That Appear Every Time You Stop 1 week ago:
Part of me is annoyed that I didn’t get a Mazda 3 when I got my car back in 2023, I got a 2021 Seat Leon FR PHEV Hatchback.
I like the Leon, but it has so much touch controls.
The worst is the controls for the fog lights, heated rear window and defrost.
They are all located on a small touch panel to the right of the steering wheel, it is also angled down making it harder to see.
So if I am driving and the windows start to fog up I need to take my eyes off the road and aim my finger to touch the correct button without touching any other controls as I might be blinding other drivers.
It is a terrible design.
The AC and battery management screens are all under different submenus on the infotainment screen.
The rest of the car is great though, and so far i have not seen any ads on the screen.

I mean an island with no internet connection isn’t that expensive to him
- Comment on Turning a mini-pc into a WiFi access point 1 week ago:
Since you have the equipment at home you can just get a power meter and measure the computer and a router to see which uses most power over two hours.
Make sure to install the baseline for the computer before the test so it is fairly representative
- Comment on Turning a mini-pc into a WiFi access point 1 week ago:
I get that, it was just something I noticed when looking to build a NAS a few months ago, I was considering the power usage over time when compared with a Synology, and I seem to recall the Synology being much more power efficient, and when I saw OP talking about using a full X86 machine for an AP, I just thought it sounded very inefficient.
- Comment on I'm suppose to believe I now live in a world where a Democrats can become president agoant and put George Soros at the head of DOGE? 1 week ago:
Calm down, no need to swear, I am not your enemy, I am talking about what would need to happen after a potential revolution, violent or otherwise, to prevent this from happening again.
Plenty of freedom movements have failed because there was no plan about what to do after taking power, or the plan was too vauge.
This is something that needs to be considered before a potential revolution happens, there also needs to be plans for what to do if the leader of the revolution refuses to complete the plan after taking power.
I am not lost, I am a few steps ahead of you.

The absolutely biggest issue with the US election system is the first-past-the-post systems still in use, just use proportional representation.
That will enable new parties to actually have a chance of being relevant.
That in turn will enable better representation of minorities and special interest groups.
Once the US is out of this mess, refrom is needed, get rid of the idiotic electoral college and any FPTP systems in use.
- Comment on Turning a mini-pc into a WiFi access point 1 week ago:
Before you start with this project, consider the power use of a full X86 system even at idle and compare that to a standard router.
If you are looking to run this as an access point permanently, the cost of power may add up.
I am not saying that you shouldn’t do it, but take it into account before deciding.
