M4 Mac Mini's Power Button Has New Bottom Location
  • You could just use the new one upside down, and mash that unobstructed power button to your heart’s content. You’ll have the same great access to the ports too!

  • Sounds like you should buy a different thing. I bought one, though. None of this keyboard stuff matters to me, since I won’t even be using a keyboard with it

  • I think the special button on the keyboard is a fingerprint/lock button. Not sure if the computer supports powering on by pressing any key like the MacBooks, but it certainly will wake from sleep with any key. I don’t think you’re supposed to fully power it down as part of regular use, so they can get by with a less accessible power button

    Flipt: open-source, CloudNative feature flag solution
  • You jest, but we use Launch Darkly at work, and it’s the shit. Way better than our previous home grown solution. Everyone made the same joke at first, but the value is real

    mullenweg, founder of wordpress, claims that the apostrophe we type is actually a prime mark and talks about how he always manually inputs U+2019 instead
  • He’s right, though. They’re different characters, and they look different. The curved apostrophe looks much better, especially with larger fonts. I don’t use it in casual typing, but it’s important for official copy on the Web. You can use Option-Shift-] to type it without the alt code on a Mac

    Wife want me to get rid of a 2023 Model Y just because Elon Musk.
  • Haha what? Was that reply for me? Because it doesn’t relate to anything I said. I know all about Teslas. I don’t have exorbitant expectations of it, and I don’t think of it as a luxury car. But I still like it

    YouTube has found a new way to load ads | AdGuard Blog
  • Seems like that would foil a plugin, but I think it would effectively kill video scrubbing, or simultaneous streams, depending on how that restriction was implemented. I still don’t see this working well for YouTube

  • Yep. YouTube must include a manifest with each video to tell the player what time ranges are un-skippable. Baked in ads were doomed from the beginning 🤡

    Is a detection-proof ad blocker theoretically possible?
  • They’ll probably include a manifest with the video, telling the player what time ranges are un-skippable. A script could hook into that, and auto-skip them
