I always travel with my GL.iNet GL-MT3000 (Beryl AX) and this is what I use it for:

- My wife and I travel with multiple devices (laptops, phones, Chromecast...) and when we get to a hotel/Airbnb, I simply connect my Beryl AX to their network (it deals with captive portals btw) and all of our devices automatically connect.

- I changed the `/etc/hosts` directly in the router, meaning I can test my local servers under custom domains easily on my other devices like phones/tablets without apps like SquidMan.

- I route specific domains through specific VPNs. Government websites, streaming websites, AWS services, etc.

- I can plug in a 4G USB modem into it and it can automatically fallback to it if the main connection drops.

- It has built-in Tailscale support.


Idk, I'm having a good experience with Biome 2 in a large codebase. 4s to do a full-check including floating promises, undeclared and cyclic dependencies, and sorting imports. Our ESLint setup used to take almost a minute. The Biome team has been fixing bugs on a daily basis. Version 2.2.0 (released 3 days) ago addressed a common high-CPU-usage bug, try it out.

Edit: it's not 4s anymore, I just measured with the latest version and it takes ~900ms. Insane.


Are simply running eslint from the root of the project? And is this a monorepo?

I have used eslint in very large projects (far more than 3000 files) and running multiple instances via a task runner makes it a breeze to keep it under 30s or less, especially if you use the cache


I did try and it just stalls, taking down my CPU with it. I had moved onto other tasks and found it later still killing a few cores. It's in a monorepo with maybe 3000 files. I have no trust in the project.


Yeah I understand the frustration, I had issues setting up ESLint/Prettier years ago and spent a few hours getting the Biome configuration right. Also a monorepo with ~4000 TS/TSX files. If you ever feel like trying it again, make sure that you have "files.maxSize" and "files.ignoreUnknown" set. And be very careful with the "files.includes" list.


It sure would have been nice if biome used a better include syntax. I dislike the new way of doing it in biome 2, because it creates ambiguity and works differently than damn nearly every other tool I use


Getting lots of 502s from `https://api.gpt-oss.com/chatkit` at the moment.


Same, not available in Spain.


I'm dealing with mime types and max file sizes for an uploader, and improving error messages. Instead of relying on the file name to detect the mime type, I'm using the file binary header instead to reject dodgy files (for ex a `sample.jpg` file that is actually a ZIP or EXE under the hood).


Are you doing

30yo Brazilian here. I nor anyone I know have heard of issues with electric shower headers. Electricity in Brazil is highly available and relatively cheap. I actually think they're amazing and I would pick it over any gas shower out there, they heat up pretty much instantly and some models even offer high precision temperature control of 1 degree Celsius.


FWIW "heats up instantly" and "has 1 degree temperature control" also describes modern gas heaters.


I'm hoping you're right but I have yet to see a gas heater that actually heats up the water that cooled down in the pipes since the last usage so that you actually get warm water instantly.


I mean, it may be a couple seconds (like 5, not 30+), but ~every modern house in Japan has a heater like that.


They heat up instantly, but I usually have to choose between high pressure and heat. Only when turned down to low pressure does the heat work well (you can subtlety hear it click on at low pressure). But it depends in the specific model and usually not bad. (In Guatemala) And have been zapped plenty of times as others described.


A few months ago I ordered an Uber Black in Bangkok and the driver showed up in a C300 AMG. I know it's not a high-end model (~50k USD), but I was shocked at how cheap the entire car felt. The leather is worse than the one used in base VW models, the armrests are pathetically small, visibility is bad. I'd 100% prefer to be a passenger in a Corolla or Camry.


There is no c300 AMG (That I know of) The AMG badge was likely fake.


Due to import nuances, they do all sorts of shenanigans in TH for cars. The one you have gotten may have very little to do with Mercedes.


The US made models seem to be the worst ones.


Sounds about right. No wonder mb decided to make S klasse only in Germany


I recently drove more than 1000 miles from Sao Paulo (Brazil) towards the south and many cities looked dry, completely covered with soybean plantations, and they're growing quickly [1]. Brazil basically exports a shitton of water in the form of meat. We have 36 million hectares dedicated to soybeans alone, that's Germany's total area. I wonder how long this is going to last.

IIRC, most of Brazil's soy exports are feeding pigs in China.


I should've typed "meat and soybeans". You're probably right about the destination of most of our soybeans.


So unimpressive. The demos were terrible. Who would actually use it the way it was presented?


The demos were verryyy minimal.

I think one of the biggest risks is overselling the product, is creating expectations they can't live up to.

They probably could have gotten some AR iOS apps ported & being neat. But are those things people would really use day in day out? Do they set the right expectation, or are they wow & hype? Apple showed the intended mainline usecases: boring regular everyday stuff. Watching videos, browsing the web. And notably all experiences they & not app devs are in tight tight control over.

So, setting realistic expectations. And remaining in absolute control of the experience.


> The demos were verryyy minimal.

Certainly not as dramatic as Steve Jobs using an actual device on stage and prank-calling Starbucks.


You're correct about Pix, it averages at 0.22% [1]. It's free for personal transactions and some card/POS machines have zeroed the fees when you scan a Pix QR code to pay at small shops. It's currently the most popular payment method in Brazil (credit card is second) [2]. It's slower than just tapping my Apple Watch to pay, but tap-to-pay with Pix is in development and I can't wait for it. Installments are also coming. Our Banco Central is really pushing it and the big banks are not liking it, at all. Good.

A nice side-effect of it all is that many credit cards are offering great rewards without any annual fee. I get year-round access to VIP lounges at any airport here, car/travel insurance AND cashback/miles for $0, it's a very different scenario from say 5 years ago.
