You must have missed the part where I said a lot of people, not all of them. There are people calling themselves “developer” that shine during the hiring process, but then can’t implement a random feature if there’s no ready-to-use library for it.

However, this doesn’t mean that there still aren’t lots of actual developers around, that know what they’re doing and can actually code in an actual programming language.

new generation of devs

The new generation of devs sadly has a lot of people that only can type what they want to achieve into ChatGPT and blindly copy whatever code snippet it comes up with. But they can’t develop. Nor do they understand code written by others. They’re the reason things like NodeJS’s is-even package exists.

Doesn’t seem to cope well with hardlinks, also last commit was 2 years ago…

I post stuff to my blog mostly for myself to look it up later and to possibly help people with similar interests. So, why not just do it and see how it goes?

It’s time you all got over how the Magic Mouse charges

Only a couple of minutes of charging should give you eight-to-nine hours of battery life.

Yes, finally, cops don’t need to go to an Apple store undercover or need to buy their iPhone on the black market.

The secret is finally out!

Cops use iPhones, too.

Yep, the article is about Apple showing cops how to use the tech, what apps the police in other countries is using to support their daily work and the police evaluating the use of more Apple tech in their daily duty (Carplay, Vision, etc.).

There’s nothing about spying on normal Apple users or Apple handing out your personal data to the cops in that article.

Clickbait headline.

There was one where the guy behind it went to massive lengths so people couldn’t easily distinguish the example files by other means than audio quality. Verdict was that people with more expensive equipment even preferred the sound of the MP3s (320kbps CBR). I think it was this one (Links to Parts 2 and 3 at the bottom.).

Somewhere else I’ve read that - for most humans - 256 kbps MP3s encoded with VBR-ABR using a high-end encoder are basically indistinguishable from the lossless original. Even at 192 kbps it’s still more hit&miss than it should be. But I don’t remember where I’ve read that.

Exactly! PWAs (Progressive Web Apps) are a thing, too.

You mean like the Punkt MP02?

The MP02 is the first voicephone to offer a downloadable privacy feature that uses the Signal protocol to provide free, encrypted Internet-based calls and texts worldwide via Wi Fi or mobile data (subject to data charges). We believe Signal provides vastly greater security compared to the widely-used encrypted alternatives, which exist primarily as tools for harvesting and selling valuable metadata (contacts lists, who communicated with whom, when it happened, etc.). In the Signal system, all metadata is encrypted.
By using the Signal-protocol, it is possible to add group messaging and voice messages to the MP02.

Even the 100MB/sec won’t work for long as these stupidly small MicroSDs tend to heat up A LOT and then go into throttling where the transfer rate goes down to <1MB/sec.
