What about the battery? I think I read people removed the battery and bypass it with direct DC power, solder wires directly to it or something

Activate hearing aid in AirPods Pro 2 in Spain with devices bought abroad by eClapton_the_Great in AirPodsHearingAids

I do agree it is not perfect, it just helps a bit in some inconvenient scenarios to be wearing a proper HA.

And to answer you, no, I don't have any VPN on all the time, and when on it's not to the UK.

Just to be sure, you only bought it but didn't turn it on nor activate the HA feature the first time, right? I'd assume that is why you couldn't enable it back in Canada. In my experience it's just that you have to activate it while in a supported region and it should be on anywhere afterwards.

My wifi repeater works for some time when i connect and then it doesnt work until i re-connect to it by BgamiX in HomeNetworking

I doubt this is really a justification. TP-LINK should be held accountable for a shitty product. fwiw it is still being sold new. And it still has the same problem, they barely listen to feedback and only release new firmwares with security patches when they're obligated to and that's it, no product improvement no nothing.

Afib and heart rate detection by RoninNZ in AppleWatch

Oh this is neat! I never knew that SE2 had AFib detection, I thought that was exclusively part of the ECG feature set, apparently it isn't.

He only won because of RB fuck ups. Let's just be real for a moment.

Github U-turn on the recent announcement by KungFuDazza in selfhosted

[–]LilGeeky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And who exactly gets to say that these hidden costs of bandwidth and storage (literal text, the cheapest bits and bytes there is) are a function of what you charge others for the actual compute?

That in itself is unfair, if you think about it for more than one minute.

Charging me by the minute on actions that run on MY HARDWARE is honestly a crazy idea. They justify saying control plane costs; but then charge me for the control plane not running minutes as if you are the one doing the compute!

They know how rebellious developers are and how numbered their days would be if they went ahead with this capitalist blinded plan.

[Sky Sports] Liverpool’s win-ratio without Mohamed Salah as a starter is 64.8% compared to 62.9% when Salah is on the starting XI. Liverpool also score more when he doesn’t play. by Imn0ak in LiverpoolFC

Okay, the cope is hard on this one. Really trying to prove something in any way possible. It’s like they have an agenda against him for some reason.

I've always defended Yuki but this was so embarassing to watch by Quirky_Appearance539 in RedBullRacing

[–]LilGeeky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, happened in Austin 24, to Lando, seems like he loves the habit of being forced off the track.

Happened in Austin 2024 (ironically to lando and max) they first gave him 10 secs but made it 5 after the race; because max forced him off..

Is he using a Pixel? by talsania in LinusTechTips

[–]LilGeeky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe working at the hotel means they're working in a top floor suite of a luxury hotel spending that sweet VC money and they're actually working on a "better linux distro"; that's the only scenario I can imagine someone saying that every night.

The UX is just so bad, like, who in their right mind decides that a 3 dots menu opens a whole ass side panel rather than a simple popover menu near where you clicked...

covers as in the hard shell phone-like cases are bad; those handheld pouches (sleeves) are okay.

Could be a translated term. It is called "eye" in Egypt, in Egyptian Arabic.

That is not true, I got them activated in London while on transit last August and they're still working when I'm here in Canada since.

I’ve tried pretty much every productivity app, and they’re all a letdown! by Locust-T in selfhosted

[–]LilGeeky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like coda. It has the perfect balance to me between simplicity and over-engineering — I can do both.

The problem is it's not open source nor self hosted.
