What brands still make bone conduction headphones?

Readit NewsWhoa this is really neat. I’ve been trying to get into Meshtastic but it’s hard to convince others when you need special hardware. Would be super neat if Apple did something similar. Shouldn’t be too hard since the AirTags use the same idea?
Would also be neat if there was a way to build a LoRA proxy to extend the range. I might give this a try with my meshtastic devices.
I think the reason AirTag works is because Apple turns it on-by-default on i-devices and people can't be bothered to go turn it off. For a chat to work on the same scale it would literally need Apple or Google to ship it as enabled-by-default on all phones.

That is so true. I am still deploying good old .war files to full blown Java app servers backed by simple SQL databases (all clustered and stuff) with some handwritten cli tools and a Jenkins server. Shit is fast, shit scales, shit just works. It is a pleasure to work with
20+ years as a professional developer and I still have to argue with coworkers on why MongoDb is a terrible fit for their data, which is clearly relational, just because said coworkers can't be bothered to learn SQL.
> High currents, often resulting from rapid charging, quick acceleration, or high-speed driving, can negatively affect the battery’s state of health.
So to preserve battery health I need to spend 8 hours charging the battery at opposed to 45 minutes? Not a great selling point for EVs.
The move away from on-the-job training has played a role. If a company doesn't provide any early guidance and mentorship (which everyone could use regardless of industry experience), then that has to be replaced by finding the perfect candidate who can immediately be productive.

We're called freelance consultants. And we charge a high price for that service.

For mobile Linux in particular, I found that it's quite the opposite, I see projects like Phosh and KDE Plasma Mobile constantly showing UI and UX improvemnts (albeit at a slower pace than desktop projects), while basic hardware support is non-functional.
Of course I'm not expecting every UX/UI dev to abandon their project to jump into low-level kernel development and bring support for more devices, but it feels like the desktop environments are developing for a device that doesn't exist.
> Is it even possible to use Linux on desktop without ever having to edit config files or run commands in the terminal?
On a modern Linux distro (that isn't one of the "advanced" ones), the answer is yes. If you install something like Mint or Ubuntu, you have a graphical app store and driver manager (which AFAIK you only need for NVIDIA GPUs).

Which is what a lot of users have.
Aegis [1] seems to be a great alternative, at least on Android. Besides a search bar, it allows you to backup or export all your entries in an ecrypted vault. You can also include them in the Android cloud backups.
An alternative in sitautions where OTP-only is allowed. E.g. I work as a freelance contractor and every single customer requires MFA with GPS tracking. Some also require accessing Bluetooth on the phone.
GraphenOS offers that, since the Playstore/Google Applications are non privileged applications.
Big Plus for being easy installable from the Graphenos Appstore Applications. It currently offers 8 applications and 4 of them are GraphenOS own applications.
GrapheneOS is nice for people using Google Pixel phones. And useless for anyone else.

How is this something "every programmer should know" ? I mean 95% of us work with software that is not performance critical, where security/auditing/monitoring/stability/maintainability/etc. is more important than raw performance.
Historically and practically speaking, I get the impression that the boat stuff seems the least controversial and makes the most sense. Incoherent to want to sue a river for flooding, but if a boat crashes into your house for example, then you'd like to be able to at least seize the boat without enduring the back-and-forth deflection between owners and operators.
