  I also bought and use this in a terminal and Emacs. I really do feel like it increases legibility at a much smaller font size.

  The question was asking if there were any non e2ee text apps.

  Size and easy to clean (and waterproof) is one, I have a ChefSteps Joule which is app control only, but it is much easier to clean, and much smaller than my old Anova (fits in a drawer with other crap)

  Granted it is more annoying to use the app than the controls, but the trade off for us was worth it, if not for everyone.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨New Teslas might lose Steam⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I never wait around while the car is charging (generally only charge at home), but this has been useful for waiting to board a ferry, actually being in the car on a ferry, and waiting for road closures to clear.

  I also do have a steam deck, and this is basically the same thing but with a bigger screen.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why there are 861 roguelike deckbuilders on Steam all of a sudden⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Can anyone recommend one? I honestly haven’t played one since slay the spire, and loved it. My wife didn’t enjoy the music after a few hundred hours so I stopped playing a few years ago.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Composerize - online tool converts docker commands to compose yml⁩ ⁨⁨7⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I guess it’s finally to the point where selfhosters can admit to using k8s and not be bombarded by comments saying it’s overkill, which has happened in the past for:

  • Self hosting at all
  • Using VMs
  • Using containers
  • Using docker compose
  • Using k8s (⬅️ I guess we are here)
  • Using helm charts or whatever ends up replacing this

  Anyway, I believe there is a tool also to turn docker compose files into k8s manifests if we want to take this a step further!

  Still, having this option can’t be a bad thing. Ultimately it’s an engineer (or PM I suppose) that decides to use this chip based on the product requirements.

  Sometimes you want to fail closed, or purposefully fail catastrophically if some constraints aren’t met.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Microsoft's Pricey AI Assistant Copilot Leaves Early Adopters Feeling Cheated⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I mean didn’t we all do this when phones started autocompleting sentences like a decade ago? (Or however long it was, time perception is fickle)

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Bluesky and Mastodon users are having a fight that could shape the next generation of social media⁩ ⁨⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  I don’t know all the details, but isn’t it set up to be some type of not for profit corporation to prevent that? Though I guess OpenAI is also not profit, but I was hoping it’d be more like Signal to stave off enshittification

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Minisforum MS-01 announced. 2x10g sfp, 2x2.5gbe, pci slot, 3xm2 slots. 2xUSB4 40g. What do we think?⁩ ⁨⁨10⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  If this can handle routing 10g this is a great choice to use as a router. It’s actually quite difficult to find a gateway that’s around this price and ISPs (at least here in Canada, or my part of Canada) are offering internet over 1Gbps at the same price as gigabit, but their routers are awful.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Game Awards 2023 fell short of honoring its own industry⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Isn’t that the difference here? Here we are choosing to watch ads – more specifically I want to learn about new games coming out, versus ads that I don’t, such as on most websites, YouTube, my TV, billboards, apps, etc.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨The Game Awards 2023 fell short of honoring its own industry⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Curiously, what did you want to see?

  A lot of us just treat this like the Superbowl and watch it just for the ads.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Making an image with generative AI uses as much energy as charging your phone⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  While it is good to be cognizant of this, playing AAA games for the same amount of time as the inference is the same as this, right? Since they use the same GPU on consumer hardware.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Weird 10Gbe networking problems⁩ ⁨⁨11⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Have you tried playing with the flow control settings on your ubiquiti switch? I was having problems streaming video games until I toggled that setting (forget if it was on or off, though).

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Deck OLED announced⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve heard the, but I think these tests don’t take into account things like UV exposure. All the OLED devices I own (phone, TV) have burn in, and I think it’s due to our large windows in our apartment.

  I don’t know why but out of all of the alternatives I found Alexa by far the easiest to say (sorry to all the people named Alexa out there). Okay google, hey Siri, Bixby, Cortana are just hard to pronounce.
