This was really exciting to read, but after trying it on four NYC MTA commutes (with one transfer on each commute, so a total of 8 different train rides) over the past couple of days I’ve given up on Transit App for now…

Yesterday night and this morning it kept telling me to get off the train either two early or too late, and this evening it didn’t even think I got on the L in the first place. The app even lightly scolded me for “missing” my train!


I’ve given Transit App a few tries on various visits to New York. I always end up back at Citymapper. For me, it works so much better.

The article mentions Bomberman on the Nintendo 64, but they made a mistake — there were actually 4 different Bomberman games on the Nintendo 64, and the one featuring Jungle music is Bomberman Hero, not the one whose box art they used (Bomberman 64).

The fact that this has DOS host support is pretty wild to me…


Other than “because we can”, which is great, is there a use to that?

For example could you run DOS 7 apps on a DOS 5 host that way (taking slowdown and hardware needs into account)?


It relies on HX-DOS' Win32 support. But since DOSBox-X emulates hardware, which is still useful when the host doesn't have such hardware.


Oh, I had that very model and it very quickly got moldy in places that I couldn’t easily clean. Absolutely wouldn’t recommend it…


As someone who used to love hosting things on a Mac mini, have you tried installing Linux on it to use as a dedicated server? If you do, it should handle this just like any other platform you could install it on.


I was hoping it might work on the iOS 18 beta (after turning WebGPU on in Settings → Apps → Safari → Feature Flags), but it still didn’t work.


That’s a fancy fingerprint you’ve got there


I really like the noisy half-filled box instead of a more common regular pattern.


Does this really only show the last four digits?!

I lost my AirPods Pro in an Uber back in January, and they’ve been in Lost Mode ever since, and I regularly see them moving around between three or so different places on the Find My map. Nobody ever reached out to me, but if it doesn’t even show your number I guess they wouldn’t be able to…


I guess Xwayland is good enough that I simply never noticed GoLand wasn’t natively running on Wayland anyway!


Try that with a HiDPI screen :)


That's actually a GNOME issue. XWayland apps look native on KDE for me, except for that X11 icon that shows up on the title bar!


It's not a Gnome specific thing, it happens on nearly all wayland conpositors, it's just that KDE applies some fixes https://pointieststick.com/2022/06/17/this-week-in-kde-non-b...
