    US Trade Dominance Will Soon Begin to Crack

    Jump

  • Since 1981 the large decline began. Like 80% of bad policies and shitting on the working class in america can be traced back to the 80s.. I wonder what happened then.

    Kamala would just have been a party line corporate puppet like Obama 2.0. But undoubtedly 100x better than trump.

  • DIY E-Reader Folds Open Like A Book (Diptyx)

    Jump

  • And by "tending to last longer" it is good to note that it almost always lasts 5x-10x longer, as in you only need to charge it once a month instead of every few days with medium reading, depending on backlight usage.

    When I only read a few pages a day because of my schedule, my battery lasts over 6 months easily. Meanwhile my unused iPad has to be charged every week or so even if it is used 0 minutes.

  • If you had to replace the floppy disk save symbol in software with a new symbol for saving what would you choose and why?

  • In the dystopia of outer-worlds-esque orwellien-surveillance corporate feudalism it looks like they will have to endure, I think we can afford to lighten up on them 😂

  • Did Microsoft do anything right in 2025? Wins, fails, and WTF moments

    Jump

  • They updated the Lens app (pretty much the best scanning app available) UI and haven't enshittified it! I call that a win! I wish I could now pin it to a specific version on the play store.

  • Yet 90% of young people won't know what it is because digital cameras have been replaced by phones and phones no longer have microSD lol

  • Coming soon: Simpler pricing and a better experience for GitHub Actions - GitHub Changelog (Adds self-hosted runner cost)

    Jump

  • Microsoft does this is other products too.

    For example, python runs inside of Excel now so you can finally make good figures with matplotlib.

    But they intentionally slow code compilation so it takes around 5x as long as as spyder for the same code.

    Then, your code will time out after a couple seconds of execution and you "have to buy compute tokens" in order to be able to compute it further with your own machine.

  • What are some unique games to host server's of?

    Jump

  • V-rising

    A sort of diablo-style game where you are the bad guy vampire. Very fun, but the damn server doesn't pause time when it is empty, so I can only spin it up when I plan to play, not have it on all the time like valheim if my friends want to jump in without me and play

  • Creating apps like Signal or WhatsApp could be 'hostile activity,' claims UK watchdog

    Jump

  • They don't even stop significantly more crime now... They simply invent new "crimes" and jerk each other off for keeping the streets safe from that minority eating their lunch or going for a walk.

  • Adafruit: Arduino’s Rules [New ToS] Are ‘Incompatible With Open Source’

    Jump

  • Adaruit and arduino both don't make microcontrollers lol

    Adafruit can literally just fork it and rehost it. It would be a perfect time to mode arduino to an independent non-microsoft instance and move all of their website links pointing to github arduino repos.

  • The world where RCA practically doesn't exist, Motorola is a shell of its former self owned by the Chinese, and Intel is literally in the process of going bankrupt and is so weak that it is being currently bailed out by taxpayer money

  • What is your development environment?

    Jump

  • Linux

    Distrobox container

    Code OSS

    • clangd (always have to change compile commands path because $workspacefolder variable varies per machine even on the same project, it will just choose a subfolder sometimes)
    • nrfconnect suite (it has some extra checks for .dts files and a nice GUI)
    • embedded flash plugins/programs like jlink, Stmcubeprogrammer, etc..

    Serial Studio

    Logic 2 / Sigrok pulseview

  • Is entertainment getting worse or am I getting old?

    Jump

  • Hmmmm

  • LG Update Installs Unremovable Microsoft Copilot on Smart TVs, Ignites Backlash

    Jump

  • When KDE Plasma Bigscreen becomes bigger and usable, then you can plug any Linux device into it (or even get one of those 100€ NUCs) and have a privacy - friendly smart TV.

  • New Rule Forbids GNOME Shell Extensions Made Using AI Generated Code

    Jump

  • Isn't fine name in the comment in the first line default behavior for multiple IDE/boilerplate generations?

  • Recommendations for data backup solutions ?

    Jump

  • It's a bit difficult. I don't have the money for an entire 2nd server on my network and $500 in HDDs just for a backup solution as part of 3/2/1.

    I have 3TB of fault-tolerant-ish data in a ZFS mirror then 12TB in a third, single drive full of stuff that I don't care a ton if I lost (media and stuff mostly)

    Maybe I could back up the more needed data to Hetzner or something for cheaper, but it still adds up.

  • Linux GPIB Drivers Declared Stable - 53 Years After HP Introduced The Bus

    Jump

  • I am actually debating getting a serial adapter for it. At my work we have an old Norma 3 phase power meter that is an unkillable beast with a very good update rate, and it only has GPIB but as we modernize, it could definitely be used to automate testing.

    It was worth, in today's money, like 100k€ or something crazy.

  • What's your boomer trait?

    Jump

  • Dear god there doesn't have to be an app for everything.

    Make a website and if you really want an app-like experience, make a damn PWA. No, I don't want to download your terribly optimized, huge app to get a receipt...

    I'm sorry, but to get my UK ETA for traveling for work I had to download an app that I will literally use 1 time in 2 years because it is valid for 2 years. It could easily be done with a PWA.

    It is not more secure, it is less secure for the end user as apps have been caught many many more times stealing data and being malware compared to a web page where you generally have to download malware.

  • Locked

    TIL: In the Soviet Union, they considered being against the state a mental illness and would lock you up for the crime of being mentally ill

    Jump

  • I would be interested in seeing compiled statistics of how many fell without capitalist interventions.

    The CIA themselves have stated how active they were in the 20th century with corrupting, breaking down, and ultimately overthrowing communist regimes and installing dictators.

    But also socialism with worker owned co-ops and only infrastructure and regulations through a central government may somewhat be a good direction to go.

    The crux seems to be that all forms of government are susceptible to authoriatarians because people themselves are very susceptible to authoritarian strong men and propaganda, inherently.

  • Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN.

    Jump

  • Yep, openvpn with factory firmware. It even had a (limited) choice DDNS services for self hosting, on a cheap consumer router. I could never figure out if NAT hairpinning worked though.

    Almost all routers have an "advanced" section where you get a lot if these nice options.

    I have only bought a ubiquiti device in the last few years though, so I guess it is possible that routers have been enshittified like a lot of tech products with features locked behind a paywall.

  • Options for remote Wake-on-lan. Or I guess wake on WAN.

    Jump

  • Sure, but you can't access your home network anyway if your router is turned off...

    I have yet to encounter a router made in the last decade that couldn't. Asus routers, even my 15 year old tplink archer A7 could, ubiquiti always can, openwrt, pretty sure at work we did testing with a dlink router and it also had that option.

    Pretty much if you don't use a Linksys 100Mbps router from 2005, you can at least do openvpn if not wireguard.
