@TheAhmadOsman Thanks. I ended up getting a monoprice cable and it’s working. I thought it was strange that they included a 115v power cable in the box!

@KobeissiLetter @grok what are the details of their deal with Intel?

[Tim Raybould @timraybould]

@chrisfralic Seems surprising he didn’t remove the dealer license plate holder.

@MikeKulick @onchainbee @stoopinbox It is indeed sad! Lots of people responded to the email which was heartwarming. I wish I had the time it needs to maintain and build it into a sustainable product.

[Tim Raybould @timraybould]

@levelsio I think it listens much more precisely to what you tell it to do. Within that constraint, it’s super smart. Takes less liberty to roam where it thinks might be helpful, so can’t just nudge it in the right direction like Claude.

@hamids @vladtenev Thank you for this! Had been redeeming for balance credit and did not notice.

[Sidebar Ticketing @sidebartix]

Sidebar was built to provide a modern, fast, and affordable event ticketing solution for event organizers tired of the old and expensive options.

Enjoy, and, give feedback!

@joshm @diabrowser @browsercompany If this pivot to start over proves to be the right decision, it will be a fascinating case study. That at least must be motivating. Good luck!

@Suhail Check out https://t.co/shksc6rX4o. Might steal that framing.

We laid out our approach to AI yesterday and I'd love feedback and suggestions. In short:

1) Free, private chat via https://t.co/VSfB1Wfpw0, no account to create.
2) Concise answers in search results when relevant.
3) Easy to opt out of all of it.

[DuckDuckGo @DuckDuckGo]

Our approach to AI is to provide private, useful, and optional AI features – including chat and search instant answers – to people who want the productivity benefits of AI without the privacy risks.

Don't want to use AI? No problem, we've made it optional by design. (1/6)

@levelsio This was happening to me. Changing operation mode to access point (from router mode) fixed it. I think was crapping out every time isp assigned a new IP, but that was just a theory.

We just added o3-mini to https://t.co/LEqs8rGY4o (DuckDuckGo's private AI chat service where you can chat with popular models for free). It's pretty great, you should check it out -- no account needed!

@SeanBlanda Still too much cognitive load for humans. But not for AI!

[Tim Raybould @timraybould]

@pmarca Have you all consented to be warmed by this fire?

[Tim Raybould @timraybould]

@gruber Does have a much better hand feel than the 14 Pro (lighter and more smooth) and is noticeably faster. WiFi 7 also a notable improvement if you happen to have a new router.

[Tim Raybould @timraybould]

@shl Indeed. What is the GUI?

[Tim Raybould @timraybould]

@evan_van_ness You deserve a double sided Scooby snack for this one.

[Tim Raybould @timraybould]

@mgsiegler And interestingly, if you held Twitter stock, you got paid out right when Meta was around $90. That was lucky. #thankselon
