Could we get numbers from the rest of the world before we make a verdict? There is 10 times the people outside the US, as inside...

The article is specifically about the browser usage distribution among users accessing US Government websites.

We should always try to avoid needless USA-centrism! But I think the USA-centric focus here is appropriate.

I talked to a guy who "managed software development", and when I asked him about the resources om their developer machines (some kind of VM), he got angry at me when I laughed nervously when he didn't know what RAM was.

No wonder a lot of modern software is terrible.

Black Mirror was not a manual for the future.... Just watch S02E01 from 2013(!), I know the llms are not quite there yet, but still.

My only gripe is that they chose not to put the USB-C connector on a separate, easily exchangeable PCB. but other than that, best gadget in a looong time. And the advantages it gives to Linux gaming in general is very nice (I have gamed exclusively on Linux for 5 years, and it has never been better).

Out of the box linux gaming is amazing with steam and proton, and some open sources and indies are publishing native linux installer / executable.

The hardest and most brittle part is the drivers, I find it hard and technical extensive to install drivers.

Deaht metal drum machine has a very power metal vibe to it, ironically enough :D

I have a couple of AP AC Lites running openwrt and 802.11r, works fine except on Xiaomi phones apparently... I never tried the unifi though, flashed openwrt within 15 minutes of receiving the APs

not GP, but I use Xiaomi 2-gang switches, IKEA 5 button remotes, the old IKEA dimmers, and their on/off remote. At the moment I'm eyeing LIDLs remotes as well... In Denmark

Everything is controlled via Homeassistant+Deconz and a Phoscon Zigbee Dongle.

It's even possible to hack the IKEA switches into the danish wall switches.

Here friends of hue Gira and Ikea 5 button remotes mounted on a blindplate.

Still wondering what @t0mas88 is using...

The upcoming Lidl remote is very interesting indeed, because it has 4 buttons which could be wired to a regular 2 button up/down push switch (e.g. Gira 014700) as cheaper friends of hue alternative.

The Gira here as well, and left physical switches behind them. So in an emergency I can pull them off the wall push the switch that's behind to turn off power.

Also 3d printed a holder for a few places that slots into a Gira frame and holds the Philips Hue Tap button. Allows more control of scenes etc, but the color isn't exactly the same.

In my company (DK Based), the youngest SW dev(not based in India) is 38, so the companies are out there. I'm one of the youngest HW engineers at 35. My guess is that we average close to 50 in R&D. Granted, we are in Medical Devices, so young gun speed is not our thing, but still.

Their "radio" generation from a playlist of relatively few tracks was also out of this world, in contrast to spotifys ““daily"" which only gives me a new list every two years or so. Despite using the desktop application an hearting the living bejeezus out of it...

Have you tried Google music? It can do the same and I can't complain about the quality.

The only extra I wish for would be the last.fm's slider between "mainstream" and "obscure".

I use Google Music now and it still pales in comparison to Grooveshark and Songza
