@mntmn I’ve drilled out the side plates on my Reform to make room for a much better antenna, and the extra space to do that in the panel rather than drilling out the entire case is much appreciated.
@mntmn The 18650-sized sodium-ion batteries are all in the 1300-1500 range, but some of the larger ones are both affordable-looking an claim 10aH+ Just gotta (checks notes) print a new mnt bottom case and rewire a few things.
@mntmn Particularly considering lifepo4 batteries are totally unobtainium here in Canada, and some of the MaH ratings on the sodium-ion batteries I am seeing are bonkers.
@mntmn If this is in preparation for a new run of case manufacturing, can I convince you drop the bottom lip of the LCD viewport by like 1.5mm while you're in there? The current bottom lip of the screen is juuuust a bit too high that it obscures the bottom two rows of pixels of the screen, which in turn hides your cursor, if it's an underscore, p.s. I am not a crackpot.
Every developer in the world thinks reading code is harder than writing code and every IDE in the world is trying to charge you money for a button you can click that lets you read code instead of writing it.
@arstechnica c'mon, though. "Readers should remember that whatever penalties result will only be felt when affected software is performing specific cryptographic operations. For browsers and many other types of apps, the performance cost may not be noticeable."
It's really frustrating watching people who complained about the environmental costs of blockchain tech clicking those image-autogen and code-filler buttons like they're free.
So, funny story: remember how that Stanford professor described last years' layoffs as a "social contagion" exercise, where CEOs were just doing it because everyone else was doing it?
Well everyone get your surprised face ready but it was in fact a coordinated effort by execs, large shareholders and hedge funds to cover up mismanagement and suppress wages:
I'd like some sort of tracking service that just follows the executives from Boeing wherever their careers take them and alerts me just before I'm about to buy or travel in anything they've ever touched.
As someone coming off a decade of working there, I can tell you with some confidence that “you should use Firefox despite Mozilla’s leadership” is far more true and has been true far longer than you realize.
But you should also understand that original market-share vs ceo salary meme is a creation of Brendan Eich, presumably born of a grudge, and notably elided his tenure as CTO, during which the worst of that decline happened.
"Automated translation of web content is now available to Firefox users! Unlike cloud-based alternatives, translation is done locally in Firefox, so that the text being translated does not leave your machine."
I got to see the early demos of this and it is jaws-on-the-floor bonkers wizard magic. Entirely local - and good - translation with no cloud service and like 6MB of storage per language.
