- Comment on OpenPin is an open-source project to revive Humane's dead Ai Pin - Liliputing 25 minutes ago:
The pin runs some android based software as the website mentions adb. It says you will be able to build your own interposer, and they are selling the current official one on Etsy, in a 3d printed case. It doesn’t sound like something made in a factory. I guess it uses some off the shelf usb to jtag chip or similar.
- Comment on Don't make it "like Google" 1 day ago:
This is not a well written arricle. They mixes material design with corporate memphis, which is not necessarily related, they can exist independently.
Their actual problem with google’s ux is appears only in this paragraph:
The problem? Google’s actual UI & UX design is terrible. Whether mass-market or enterprise, web or mobile, its interfaces are chaotic and confusing. Every time I use Google Drive or the G Suite admin console, I feel lost. Neither experience nor intuition helps—I feel like an old man seeing a computer for the first time. I used Android for years (stock Android on a Nexus device), yet even after all that time, I struggled to distinguish buttons from plain text.
No examples, no reasoning, no good counter examples how it should be done, nothing. I’m not super familiar with google’s web ux as I only use search and youtube ocasionally. They write here about android, but no android screenshots in the article. So is this about web ux only? Or anything google? The author couldn’t even figure out what is their problem, this article sounds like “old man yelling at cloud”
- Comment on Hungary’s Musical Road plays a melody through your car tyres as you drive—an amazing fusion of road design and sound engineering. 2 days ago:
They tried to place them as far from villages as possible for the first one. You can see in the video, the guy had to bike to the middle of nowhere to record it. The problem first appeared in countrywide news after the 3rd one, because that’s much more closer to some residential buildings.
Hungary is not a classic democracy, if you are not a friend of a local oligarch you can’t really do anything about things like this. If they decided about it at the HQ it will happen whatever it takes.
I think the original concept is not inherently bad, you just need careful planning and sound simulations. Current tech can simulate sound waves very precisely. Maybe such a small country doesnt need 3 of these, they should have stopped after the 1st or 2nd one

There are 3 musical roads in Hungary now, but they exist because you can steal EU/government funds with them easily. You can invoice much higher prices if you add extras like these.
Locals who live nearby hate them, and they are lobbying for removal. You hear the melody if only one car is playing the song. If multiple cars on the painting you just hear some cacophony. Here is a guy recording next to the road, you can see it can get annoying very quickly: www.youtube.com/watch?v=G5AxAc1W6qk
Local joke party placed musical road signs on some very bad quality roads, but with metal song titles, like this:

It’s a well known Hungarian song from the 90s, “Route 67”, the joke is it’s painted on the actual route 67.

There is some delay in federation, so it’s possible that some users saw both of your comments. I remember once got upvotes on a comment I deleted instantly.

It’s not a reddit or lemmy thing, generally backslash is used as an escape character in a lot of programming languages. Here and in reddit comments accept markdown and markdown uses backslash as escape character. You need an escape character for example to write a backtick in a codeblock: ```

Why here? There are better communities gor this, like !justpost@lemmy.world or !casualconversation@lemmy.world etc.
The point of communities is that conversations are nicely categorized, you don’t just shout to the void like on mastodon

This is a symptom. If police won’t do it’s job there will be some guys who will take it into their own hands. The problem is they have even less oversight than police.

This is the original blog post this article is based on: devblogs.microsoft.com/oldnewthing/20250325-00/?p…
IIRC later other manufacturers copied this feature, and the final days of ps2 it was common that a “converter” was bundled with a mouse.

Afaik reports are not federated yet, so mods from other instances won’t get report notifications, but otherwise the same tools are available for them. So possible, but limited.

- Comment on Left Apple Maps this week for Magic Earth 2 months ago:
The have a paid sdk for businesses, not for endusers, Magic Earth is just a byproduct.
Magic Earth is free for all our end-users but we also have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners. For instance Selectric.de (a supplier for navigation solutions for ambulances and fire trucks), Smarter AI (developing ADAS systems) or Absolute Cycling (using the platform on bicycles). For more info on the SDK, you can check magiclane.com.
They also collect anonimized traffic data from users:
We send position data to our traffic provider to generate real-time traffic information. The data is anonymized on the phone, using a changing key (so it’s not linked to you), and it is deleted after 5 minutes.
Both info is from their faq: www.magicearth.com/faq-en/
- Comment on Left Apple Maps this week for Magic Earth 2 months ago:
Reasoning from their FAQ:
Will Magic Earth be Open Source?
No; since it is also used commercially (we have a paid Magic Earth SDK for business partners), we cannot make the code public.
- Comment on Underground Music Discovery - a wide variety of lesser known music genres 2 months ago:
It’s how federation works, if you are the first from your instance you don’t see posts, after some minutes the 2 servers communicates behind the scenes, and for your second visit everything looks normal. This is per instance, so it seems you were the first from lemmy.ca to click on that community.
