My usage got reset yesterday as usual, but it appears it will reset again on Sunday.

I was under the impression that meshcore was always vibe coded... people are just noticing this now?

Definitely not, the design was quite carefully made to avoid the pitfalls of Meshtastic. The developers documented quite a lot of their early work. It really didn't feel like a vibe-coded type of environment.

The firmware certainly isn't vibe coded. A heavy amount of the third party tooling however is.

> Like many ARM systems, it doesn’t chase high boost clocks and instead delivers steady, sustained performance

Maybe not boost clocks, but every arm system I've used supports some form of frequency scaling and behaves the same as any x86 machine I've used in comparison. The only difference is how high can you go... /shrug


I am not sure how workload specific it is, but in cloud compute in organizations I've worked there's often been a substantial savings outlay from literally just switching from x86 machines for workloads to ARM machines, with no other changes. So it's usually twofold, and a combination of both (lower price for the instance, but also better efficiency as well). In one organization in particular of recent memory we were doing dynamic autoscaling of hundreds of kubernetes nodes simultaneously and were able to project / achieve about 15% conservatively. Just from going x86 -> ARM with no additional changes. Probably some workload that is CPU bound but does not depend on x86 architecturally would benefit from a number significantly higher than that 15%

Shits confusing... I'm using the Claude code vscode plugin, yet my account page says I'm not using Claude code... so am I, or aren't I?

Jaz was really where the technology excelled, but it also had its own problems, and after dealing with zip failures, iomega was basically dead.

> popup that told me too many false reports would lead to a ban

That would imply that someone actually sees them... vs shoving them under the rug, or giving them to a bot to delete.


> Like surely all the big players have updated their networking equipment by now

My home isp can't even do symmetrical gigabit, let alone ipv6...


That's extremely common unless on "active" fiber (vs GPON, DOCSIS3, DSL, most fixed wireless, satellite, mobile, etc.)

Your wifi isn't symmetrical either.


Those are designed to have static asymmetrical bandwidth though, *dm split gives ISP side more of possible shared bandwidth. Wifi bandwidth is shared and dynamic so client can use all of it.

> Those are designed to have static asymmetrical bandwidth though

Yes, that's why I said that?

> *dm split

No idea what you're trying to say here.


> they're watching the match

Isn't that part of the problem? Foot egg is so ingrained into the countrymen that nothing else matters.

There wouldn't be so much of a forced monopoly if more people would stop watching games and stand up to laliga.


Or maybe people just like watching football?

I live in the US and just finished watching a recording of Atletico vs Barcelona in the Champions League and it was incredibly entertaining.


Foot egg? I thought we were talking about soccer.

Hand egg is the other.

did soccer balls change shape to warrant being compared to eggs?

Rugby?

Oh right

And that's how greed ends up destroying itself.

They can easily get away with soccer because everyone is glued to the match. Tennis? Eh. Golf? No way.

Complaining on the internet every time laliga shuts down github etc isn't going to change anything, we can't solve your problems, the change has to come from within.

It broke Gemini and of course we can't have that...

Let's be real, Windows 2000 ran reasonably well on only 128mb of memory... if it needed megabytes like modern apps, it wouldn't be very useful, especially when you're low on memory.

Win2K was peak windows for me. Every subsequent version has gotten worse from my POV.

I'd probably lean towards Windows XP with the W2k theme (at least later in its life) but it was basically the same thing.

Main difference was easier-to-install video card drivers, though you could often get them to work on W2k by editing INI files.


Yes. A no frills but full-featured NT. It was the best version of Windows.

Agreed.

Even WinXP had goofy web technology tied into File Explorer (called “Windows Explorer” then, I believe). Win2K was just optimal, for me, for what I was doing at the time.


I think Win2k already had that. As far as I remember, the explorer sidebar, the white box with the colored line under the heading, already being HTML. I loved hacking on that back then to customize my windows experience.

Yes, it was called Active Desktop and it was much older than Win2K: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_Desktop

If you changed the colour scheme on Windows 98, none of the cloud images were transparent in Explorer (they assumed the background was white) so you'd end up with these weird clouds/sky fading into a white background and then a hard line into whatever colour you'd set your background to.

The desktop was very sluggish if you added an active desktop to it, as IE4 had to run; at least it was on my underpowered machine. Additionally it came with a screensaver that you could interact with, which was odd because normally moving the mouse dismissed the screensaver.


Active Desktop was a different thing, on top of what I was talking about.

But the post parent to yours was correct about HTML being in Win2k: https://imgur.com/ncvvBY0

That infopanel on the left is HTML.


Ah ok. Unfortunately I cannot look at that page on imgur as I am in the UK and it's blocked here.

that is insane. why is that blocked in the UK? or is it imgur that blocks the UK? everything is weird these days.
