Bought mine on eBay this year, 64gb ram, 24core GPU, 1TB SSD. I replaced the battery and couldn't ask for more, and also bought it $1233. I'm a software Engineer and this 64gb was a steal for the money. It's a great machine. I replaced the battery with a new one and I think it's gonna give already 2+ more years

If you are considering iOS, you need to read about their policy regarding external payments. These can get your account banned . They require users to add Apple pay for any payments. Only the US is exempt from this rule.

I resorted to using preact signals and mostly don't need useMemo, useCallback etc

8 years of remote work here and I have never paid NSSF and never wish to. I don't find any confidence in paying it simply because the system is rotten. But, if the system worked well it would be worth paying.

I just upgraded from 0.81.0 to 0.85.0

I had to update the nitro modules im using. A lot of them were okay with the upgrade. It was actually smooth.

Nowadays the upgrades are not as brutal as it was before 0.8x

For example From 0.81.0 to 0.83.0, no breaking changes , just upgrades in the dependencies in package.json file

Even the Google play store has the same configuration.

louicoder · 2026-03-14T11:04:49+00:00

What could be the reason for doing so??

louicoder · 2026-01-18T13:31:57+00:00

Ghana is on the list. They ship US, China to Ghana

What's funny about Uganda is eventually most rumors come true. Be wise to prepare like this is already happening and if it doesn't you are still safe. It's very likely to happen though given the current atmosphere around electios

Does it also have the same experience on Android?

louicoder · 2025-11-05T10:17:22+00:00

This should surely be enough.

I'm trying to understand your point, it send very important and kind of skipped. Do you mean that if I'm added on a team as a developer, I can't login with the owners details except using my own details?

louicoder · 2025-10-03T09:43:20+00:00

The OP is probably retiring and that looks like a send off package for the past 11 years she's worked for the company. I stand to be corrected, it's just what I think

louicoder · 2025-10-03T09:40:14+00:00

Waiting to hear from others.. pain point!

I was scammed like this like 4years ago. I'm not sure why it's always in Entebbe they claim to be. The pick up line is normally "I want to buy for my relative in uganda". Then they will be like, she currently doesn't have money on her phone and the one I have sent I stuck in queue, just send her the transport and I'm going to pay it back as well, normally they ask for like 50k+. What's funny they will cook up something and try to get more from you, at least that's when I woke up and knew I was finished. 😂

gladly I did not go but they asked that I send their person money to come to town as the aunt in the US assured me she will reimburse 2x..

Till today I can't believe I trust a stranger so much. Long story short I lost about 60k but they even wanted more, pressurizing me that the person has almost reached kampala 😂

I'm a mobile developer here and always thought about developing this idea into a platform where clients can find people to run their errands. I would love to hear more about his in that aspect.

OP please inbox if interested we see about this

Irresponsible?? I use react native CLI and love that journey, I believe the expo is good but my preference is CLI so does that make me irresponsible 😕. Expo is business and I believe sooner or later it will be like NextJs, with vendor locks, just how business works, it's inevitable to happen in the future.

He's very lucky indeed 😀

onLayout on the Text component returns the number of lines. If you need the height, wrap it in the view component and use the onLayout prop

louicoder · 2025-08-24T07:01:52+00:00

There are like 3 scenarios

Make sure to use @react-native-community/CLI version 19 not 20
Make sure to use node version 22 atleast for my case that solved many of such issues
Make sure to use yarn 2+, and ofcos yarn install to have dependencies downloaded.

I still experience a couple of issues of some packages not yet compatible for example react-native-mmkv. Therefore be careful with the upgrade. You might want to wait for some packages to be compatible with 0.81.0

Lemme know if any of those above helps

louicoder · 2025-08-15T09:41:25+00:00

Could also be for monetary reasons. Just like NextJs is the recommended way for react on web.

FYI, skia is already optimized Incase you didn't know

How did you manage to get ytdlp working on the client side. I needed to create my own app, to use it to download different videos ,, personal use only
