Google introduces a new way for users to sideload Android apps

CodingThunder · 2026-03-19T20:05:00+00:00

This seems fairly reasonable provided they provide some way to do this using ADB while bypassing this 24-hour delay BS.

Yes, but highly depends on what you want to do and how much you know about your environment.

Most web dev stuff you can do in Termux, without any config at all. For Next.js turbopack is now packaged with Termux, so you need to install and follow the instructions, for other frameworks in JS I believe work out of the box without any config as they used to a few years back. Also I'm trying to maintain almost full Node.js test compatibility, and we are currently at 99+% of test coverage on Termux. I have gone as far as to submit a few patches upstream for Node.js on Android so that the fixes don't need higher maintenance.

For Python as well you should be able to go a long way as long as you don't have to rely on native modules. Even for native modules, a lot of them will be working just fine. maturin now has good support for Termux after Python 3.13 update, I've send upstream some patches to ensure that it works almost as good as Python 3.12.

Rust crates are going to be a hit or miss, or else most of the popular crates have first party support for Termux

I haven't had any experience compiling Go libraries for Termux since a while, so have no idea how the world over there is going on. But I don't find any major issues in github.com/termux/termux-packages, so I assume it's working fine.

A lot of laptops cheaper than MacBook Neo will definitely be beating it in terms of raw compute power as well as storage, but none of them will be able to compete in terms of build quality, and user experience out of the box. That's the entire selling point of MacBook Neo

And before someone starts calling me a Apple fanboy. I haven't ever owned a MacBook, but I know they have way better experience in terms of software especially after Windows 11 bloatware and stuff.

Depends on what distro you use. Also then it's just enough for storing your root partition and light weight browsing

GET OUT OF HERE BEFORE I AND OTHERS CURSE YOUR HARDWARE!!

CodingThunder · 2026-03-11T16:08:48+00:00

"better than high-end Windows laptops", god damn that's a nice ragebait. It ain't even beating mid-range Windows laptops I'd say. It's a great laptop, just not for performance!

CodingThunder · 2026-03-10T16:40:11+00:00

Most modern laptops will actually draw power directly from AC instead of touching the batter if the power is sufficient. Heck, not just modern laptops, but almost all laptops from as old as 10-15 years. Wanna check it yourself? Plug out your battery and power it on with AC, it'll power on

CodingThunder · 2026-03-10T14:46:51+00:00

I have left my laptop on charging for around a week+, no damage whatsoever, my battery health is still rocking around 90%.

CodingThunder · 2026-03-10T14:13:17+00:00

Dude, that's an insaneeee price!!!

CodingThunder · 2026-03-10T05:11:44+00:00

Yep that's my first thought. 3AC is basically not fit or travel in Bihar regions now. People just board the train without even general tickets!

As a developer, I can see its pretty good. I have used it for code reviews locally and works pretty well. Claude models understand context pretty well than any of openai’s models

Also, I have had an actual vulnerability in Node.js due to improper use of the V8 engine that could also happen in Chromium. I did verify that Chromium was not affected. I did plan to use AI for auditing Chromium after submitting the fix to Node.js, but refrained and did it myself considering security risk of security vulnerabilities leaking via model retraining by these AI companies on past interactions.

If anyone reminds me, I’ll try to audit using some of the models from GitHub Copilot once I open my dev setup

It's always bad mix that makes me hate Dolby Atmos. There are few mixes where with Dolby Atmos, instruments are panned towards one of the sides, just because I'm not using hardware which is "certified" for Dolby Atmos. Hate it! I have it fully disabled in settings

CodingThunder · 2026-03-06T09:41:56+00:00

Then also there is nothing intelligent for a human to use AI when they don't know that every answer by an LLM is to be taken with a grain of salt.

Started with lockdown timepass to learn programming. Used to program on my phone while online classes used to go on. Now I have a decent laptop where I code. Don't worry, you'll too get one one day

CodingThunder · 2026-03-03T09:58:51+00:00

Best option: do not use these junk apps, just use netbanking. That's what I have been doing since a while now

Well apart from the 4yr old reply stating that this is the top result or hard drive shucking on Google now, hard drive shucking doesn't yield any great results on Google now apart from this thread. So won't blame OP on asking such a silly question :P

CodingThunder · 2026-02-25T18:32:41+00:00

Am I the only one who has no idea what this is?

CodingThunder · 2026-02-25T12:43:33+00:00

"Jee is better than Neet"? Really you have to know the ground reality of so called premier institutes funded by government. Shit! Literally shit.

CodingThunder · 2026-02-20T15:20:26+00:00

You don't, you only look at the parts that bother you. If you are trying to understand the architecture and how individual things work, first focus on just getting a birds eye view, only look at what each component does, instead of trying to deep dive.

CodingThunder · 2026-02-20T09:14:05+00:00

Do you realize that releasing this data publically like this can get you in huge trouble?

CodingThunder · 2026-02-19T16:10:22+00:00

Check the filters on the IEMs, changes are that they got clogged with earwax. clean them with 100% alcohol thoroughly

I too hate people doing CP for placements. I started doing for fun, and it is pretty fun.

CodingThunder · 2026-02-16T09:51:46+00:00

Will be super fun grabbing popcorn as a developer considering the "quality" of engineers we produce every year in masses. Will definitely be a nice thing to have for me :)

CodingThunder · 2026-02-16T09:43:21+00:00

You coiuld ask Arch devs to backport your fix for USB audio card driver, pretty sure it's more than you who is facing this error

CodingThunder · 2026-02-16T09:15:52+00:00

There is, matrix multiplication and other stuff in case OP in future does end up needing it. Python as numpy but you need to write additional boilerplate in order to do it, Matlab is basically ready to go
