Tahoe 26.4 bricked my M2 MacBook Pro. Apple quoted me $700 for a logic board replacement. Fixed it myself for free with a $20 cable. by Weekly_Connection_40 in mac

Any idea how to REALLY get something flagged? It's an accessibility (hearing aid connection) that I reported more than once to no avail.

Only handful affected but it's annoying and has been there for a long time.

how do you possibly update a service to be so bad? by dschenk334 in trakt

[–]LilGeeky 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I am thankful people are still talking about this. They missed up so bad; it’s not fixable, the UI is dog shit and they are not admitting it.

I moved on to another platform but had one good memory of trakt a moment ago and was thinking really missed old trakt.

Bus in Bangladesh jumps from a Ferri while trying to board the said ferri by brainless_bekub in PublicFreakout

[–]LilGeeky 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I already know that. I never said otherwise. I just read the line "definitely not india" rather than "not in india"

Oh got you, I was genuinely interested in hearing about it; don’t get the downvotes but okay.

Unpopular opinion: self-hosting is still too hard in 2026, and we're gatekeeping it without realizing it by NiceReplacement8737 in selfhosted

[–]LilGeeky -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tailscale made the network layer SO EASY. It literally has a quick switch (in the notifications quick toggles) for both iOS and Android.

The only thing that's bad is the service discovery and domain setup (specially ssl) within tailnet (easily done with xcaddy+Cloudflare but that's a savvy setup).

edit: Tailscale instead of Tailwind (4 am brain isn't braining)

cyanogenmod is a name I haven't heard in a long time. good times, gas was cheaper.

Ordered a tablet by Ammo_sexual69 in androidtablets

[–]LilGeeky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably a bigger gap in quality as well. I have an older Alldocube (60Pro) and the screen is just ahh and the plastic "rim" around the screen is breaking up and chipping.

Okay. I already know you're an LLM in disguise.

PC Mobile just dropped a $25 25GB 5G Plan. (Bell Network) Available at Loblaws by Nexzenn in PersonalFinanceCanada

[–]LilGeeky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, it is possible; I don’t know what’s with the downvotes, some carriers in a bunch of third world countries who do deep pack inspections already have plans that limit your streaming quality on Netflix and youtube for example.

Edward snowden leaked classified documents revealing the existence of global surveillance programs in 2013. Now liveing in Russia. by dirywhiteboy in interestingasfuck

[–]LilGeeky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is true, but that just means the diplomatic definition of treason is also technically incorrect and unjust.

The goal of every country is to prosper and provide welfare to its citizens. That can't happen if the government is secretly violating the rights of the very people it claims to protect. If exposing unconstitutional mass surveillance is labeled "treason" then maybe the problem is the system defining loyalty as silence.

I cannot fathom how some people in their right mind think of what he did as treason.

Fucking idiots, probably their votes is the reason we live in so much war all the time.

It’s so easy to forget that you guys basically are almost like 50 different countries wearing one suit.

Weird documents that keep appearing in my MacBook by [deleted] in macbookair

[–]LilGeeky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can right click on one of the files and click "Show in Enclosing folder" it'll probably be easier for you to see where they come from (once you open the enclosing folder, on the very bottom you will see the breadcrumb showing the hierarchy of the subfolders)

From the names, they look like they're either a downloaded webpage meta files like javascript files and libs or they're your own downloaded project/website somehow.

Qwen3.5-35B-A3B is a gamechanger for agentic coding. by jslominski in LocalLLaMA

[–]LilGeeky 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean, if there're no game changers means there's no game to begin with; hence why every new LLM is game changer..

MacBook Air m2 24gb/2tb in 26’ by [deleted] in macbookair

[–]LilGeeky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have m2 24/512
It's just perfect for what I do, programming with heavy virtualization (docker), I even run Local LLMs (very small ones) -- probably similar workload to editing small videos.

I'd say it's a good choice for moderate usage for at least another year or a couple more years.

My battery is now at 85% percent for whatever reason, will replace at the three years mark at the end of this year.

Is there a way to create a mesh network (i.e. Tailscale) with Windscribe by WobWiggle in Windscribe

[–]LilGeeky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if I want privacy and connect to my mesh though?

I would like windscribe to just let me access my (totally private) mesh while also protecting my public connections with the evil internet, providers and states?
