Block access to your servers and offer firmware for their watches with access to your servers. Most people who use these watches are nerdy enough to dislike this behavior and able to flash a new firmware.

Good. I'll be pleased to see them get kicked in the nuts when the bubble bursts
You mean we will get kicked when the inevitable bailout comes right?
IANAL but seems like the only addition is preventing you from selling a game engine based on it. So you can sell a game, but not an engine. I wonder where a game with built-in editor ranks.
Seems fair, but sadly not OSS. I wonder why they think it's necessary?
I remember this was initially developed at king games (candycrush saga authors) before they got acquired. Probably that's the reason for the weird licensing model

This is probably true, but at least in principle one of those foreign nations stands for free speech and democracy and the other stands for censorship and authoritarianism.
[Edit: hey Europeans commenting and downvoting below, note the words "in principle" in the above comment and evaluate which of the two countries do or do not purport to stand for these things despite whatever your hot take may be on the current moment.]
That's actually funny.. considering that the main reason TikTok ban was proposed was the lack of censorship of sensitive topics like a certain genocide

I really like it.
A few suggestions:
- Make the preview text length configurable, I'd like to read more of the original post before I dive into comments
- The search is rather annoying. I found the post on hn web then it took me a while to find it in the app to comment on it. Maybe implement a filter on the main page for precached stories?
- A bit of styling / spacing / coloring would be nice. For example the stories feel like they blend into each other. The app is monochrome by design but I think a bit of color could guide the eye on content heavy views

Pretty nice but unfortunately scroll performance is extremely choppy like many other Flutter apps. Also, like many other Flutter apps, it can’t use system font stack. Still, on iOS, this is probably a better option than many other open source clients. On Android, I like Glider[1] and Harmonic[2] a whole lot more.
scroll is smooth for me - android 9 / 6 yo phone
chucklenorris commented on OpenTelemetry Tracing in < 200 lines of code jeremymorrell.dev/blog/mi... · Posted by u/masterj
The utility of tracing is great, I've been using Azure Application Insights with NodeJS (and of course in .NET). This is relatively simple because it monkey patches itself everywhere if you go through the "classic" SDK route. Then adding your own data to logs is just a few simple functions trackTrace, trackException, trackEvent, etc.
However, if you want to figure out how it works you might be scared, it is not lightweight. I just spent a few days digging through the Azure Application Insights NodeJS code base which integrates with OpenTelemetry packages. It's an utter mess, a huge amount of abstractions. Adding it to the project brought 100 MB and around 40 extra packages.
Yes, this is exactly my impression too.. the code for opentelemetry-js is over engineered and adds a scary amount of dependency code. There are quite a bunch of libraries which I'm not sure what they do and in which scenarios I might need them. The documentation is not very helpful either. I look forward to someone implementing a opentelemetry-nano package with only the minimum stuff needed and allow me to choose extra support for my dependencies or an easy way of adding my own wrappers.
Did anyone use this? I'm looking into using it for quick portability between lambda functions and containers because management can't decide what they want.. Though I'm inclined to roll my own compat layer for that, I'm not personally a fan of the api. Did anyone worked with something similar that would help with portability?

No, it's not. I've been happily running Linux on my personal machines for more than two decades.
> what about those who rely on software that is only available on Windows and macOS?
Matlab is the software in question in this particular case, and as others have already posted, it runs on Linux.
Even for particular software that might be Windows/Mac only, there are almost always functional equivalents that run on Linux. For example, OpenOffice (and later LibreOffice, which is what I run now) as an alternative to MS Office.
I have had plenty of opportunity for comparison because, for all the time I have been running Linux on my personal machines, I have had to use Windows at work. I have always had much more hassle with my work machines, and if I had a dollar for every time I have had the thought that, if only my employer would switch to Linux on desktops, my work life would be so much easier and my productivity would be better, I'd be retired now. And that's not even counting all the times I have had the thought that if my employer would run Linux on servers instead of Microsoft crapware, our IT infrastructure would be so much more robust.
The one example I have seen in this discussion of software that is truly limited to Windows/Mac is Solidworks. But that's a particular product for a particular niche, not a general office application.
I'm sorry but I can't run a laptop without functional hardware video decoding, or even hybrid sleep. I tried my Linux switch this year on 2 laptops - an older 8th gen with Intel graphics and a new one with the latest AMD. Still the same stuff. I need to do lots of workarounds for simple stuff to work properly and some things are just broken. I can't tolerate a laptop that eats 70% of CPU and murders the battery when I'm just trying to watch a video and crashes randomly when resuming for sleep. Windows 10 enterprise ltsc it is :(

I am the owner of this rogue washing machine.
If anyone has any ideas on how to investigate this, I'm open to ideas. As of now, I've just blocked the internet access.
If you have a openwrt router than it should be quite simple. Redirect the traffic from the ip of the washing machine to a machine that has mitmproxy installed (using iptables). Hopefully the protocol is https and it doesn't have some form of certificate pinning. That should get you the raw requests/responses.
