I’ll try to keep this to lesser known apps:

• Catima (saves barcodes for gift cards, gym memberships, etc so you don’t have to worry about the physical card)

• Cofi (nice timer for active guidance through coffee brewing recipes)

• 10,000 Sentences (a language practicing app that doesn’t have a mildly threatening owl 😉)

• OSMAnd+ Mapillary, Overlay Maps, and 3D Features (seriously, the best. I only use Google maps to get around traffic these days since, unfortunately, Magic Earth doesn’t work very well in my area)

• Obtanium (as a gateway to lesser known software, no shipping to an app store required!)

• RethinkDNS (an absolutely amazing piece of software that gives you fine-grained control of the domains your apps are talking to. A bit of a battery sync but it’s been a game changer for me. On my GrapheneOS setup I use it in the Google sandbox to reduce the amount of data scraping servers my Google apps can talk to)

Genuine question – how does it “use” that water? Isn’t it primarily utilized for plain old water cooling, where in mind it just evaporates at worst?

What are we going to do, build high speed rail!? A technology so advanced that China alone has enough track in active operation to traverse the US over 13 times as of three years ago? I dunno, seems like a gamble

I’m sure the teacher of the high school debate team you’re on would be very proud ❤️

ooh getting aggressive now are we?

I owe nothing to you. Enjoy your time being a sad person trying to bring others down on the internet :) I hope this little outlet makes you feel better

Sure, buy an inverter and burn up 10% of your energy in the conversion if you’re lucky. That inverter will cost roughly as much as the contents of a standard fridge + freezer, by the way :)

At that point just buy a well insulated cooler and always have some ice on hand. It’ll last much longer.

Congratulations, this is the worst attempt at ridicule I’ve ever seen

Now I don’t know enough about electronics to know how wrong this is

Very, assuming the refrigerator in question typically runs on a typical power grid you’d find in the US or Europe (source: am electrical engineer)

Mainly because most compressors I’m aware of use alternating current (AC) motors, or at a minimum accept AC power. Batteries alone produce direct current (DC). The simplest way to make this work would involve an inverter (converts DC to AC). Cheap ones probably have at least a 10% conversion loss, so you’re looking at an hour or two at most.

Edit: should also mention that discharging a typical lead-acid battery until it’s all the way flat (realistically below ~11V) does irreparable damage. Might be cheaper to replace the contents of your fridge :)

Exactly this. In a fucked up way a rule like that would actually incentivise whistleblowers to become martyrs.

As an avid NewPipe user I like that it’s an approximately identical tool with more functionality!

It seems like a fork where (I wish) a plugin could (ideally) be in NewPipe. It may also be a nice nod to the original devs to change the default color scheme of the fork so nobody gets confused as to who forked from who.

Overall very cool work! I hope they continue to have success and make progress.

Right? TPUs make more sense at scale (especially for LLMs & similar). The consumer market is more about hype and being a household name than it is about revenue.

Couldn’t agree more! Abstracting to a general economic case – those hundreds of dollars are a double digit percentage of the overall cost! Double digit % cost increase for single digit % performance doesn’t quite add up @nvidia :)

Especially with Google going with TPUs for their AI monstrosities it makes less and less sense at large scale for a consumers to pay the Nvidia tax just for CUDA compatibility. Especially with the entrance of things like SYCL that help programmers avoid vendor lock.

It doesn’t rely on phone navigation for starters :)

I find it to be especially useful for running, or really sports in general where it’s not practical to carry a phone. Accelerometer step counting alone isn’t very accurate. Having GNSS on the watch is very helpful in a lot of ways.

Or a Bangle.JS 2 if you like GPS :-)

I like the per-application fidelity that you get from RethinkDNS. You’re definitely right though, PiHole is a great solution! Personally I run PfSense in a VM and PiHole in a container on the same hypervisor so there’s roughly no latency.

The Jetson solution on the other hand is perfect for hotels/dorm rooms/etc. Both options are excellent when used well!
