Mastodon and blog both sound good to me. For some, they could alternatively use twitch or youtube.

I certainly understand the value of replaceable batteries. OTOH, I'm concerned about what this will mean for how many common upper end phones are IP67 submersion rated. I don't want that to go back to being a feature only of clunky super expensive phones, and I would rather have IP67 over a replaceable battery.

Now, if I'm lucky, they will mandate both a replaceable battery and that the phones be ip55 or better, after battery replacement.

Yeah great

“let’s just pass a law that says ‘no trade offs’, problem solved”

Just like how it already work with watches. You can replace batteries yourself, but waterproofing is not guaranteed. If you want to be certain that the waterproof rating is maintained, you have to sent it to an authorised service provider.

You will need to have a factory to replace the battery and also run tests to prove that the phone still works with water then

"I would rather have IP67 over a replaceable battery"

Not me, and not most people.

You read this in some report right? (surely the same report the EU read to justify this law). So got a link for us?

Have you done a survey?

DO doesn't do high availability droplets, and their migration policy is will try, if we detect poor health of server before it fails.

If someone starts thinking about redundancy and load balancers than DO's solution is rent a second similar sized droplet, and then add their load balancing service. If you do those things with Hetzner instead, you would still be spending less than you did with Digital Ocean.

Personally, what is keeping me on DO is that no single droplet I have is large enough to justify moving on its own, and I'm not prepared to deal with moving everything.

Do you have a link to learn more about that history?

I'm sure I'm not the only one who has loading images into Resolve before for this very purpose, so I'm interested in trying this at some point.

There is a bunch of other stuff I think is interesting in this release's marketting as well. For instance. OGraf, a new EBU standard for HTML in motion graphics systems, as well as Lottie animation support.

The AI blemish remover looks interesting. The AI content search looks interesting. AI Slate ID looks interesting, although I've never actually used a slate. I'm less thrilled to see an AI speech generator though.

There is now Vertical Resolution support. Not something I have particularly wanted to do, but I can see it being useful to a lot of people. Also, the new Picture in Picture tool looks like it might be a time saver, as someone who does a lot of people talking next to slides.

Hey, that's my essay. Never had someone submit anything I wrote to HN before.

This looks like a cool typeface in how much it can vary itself, but the price feels extremely expensive, and I don't like having to keep track of which of my library of typefaces are allowed to be used on which projects based on which license I bothered to buy for that typeface. Saying that I want to load the font onto a video server raises the price for a single variant to $1500ish, and there is no clarity on what license you need for web videos. Does that count as a movie license, or a TV license, or a web site license?

This keeps deciding that I am done describing my drawer before I can mention a single thing that should be stored in the drawer. I basically get paste the dimension and it decides that I hit Generate already.

Now I'm going to try typing my command in a different window and then pasting it in all at once. That worked, but now it isn't at all obvious how my items are supposed to go in the boxes generated, nor how they are to fit into the space.

I don't know about converting PowerPoint and Excel to Markdown, but for Word, I'd say open the file in LibreOffice Writer 26.2, and save as Markdown.

Alternatively, use pandoc, and save the command in a .sh or .ps1 to remember.

Open .docx file, save as Markdown to nicely preserve things like headings, bold, etc. I moderately frequently have reason to want to go .docx to .md because I have a lot of ediing/rewriting to do and I'd rather work in Emacs than LibreOffice Writer.
