Is there any explanation why it has decreased in size?


There are two ways to store map tile data like OSM. One is as pre-rendered raster tiles (256x256 png images) and the other is as tiles of vector data that get rendered either on the fly by dedicate rendering middleware or rendered client side by the browser. Vector tiles are anywhere between 20-50% smaller that corresponding raster tiles. Raster tiles was the standard way of doing web maps up until a few years ago, when client side rendering in the browser became feasible and now most people use vector tiles.


Tabby.ml also works well


Kagi allows adding a token to the search url. This way you don't have to log in on your work equipment.


Dont do that on your boss' network. Token is still an revealing identifier.


Maybe someone wants to earn some karma by pasting the content of the tweets here? Similar how it happens with the archive.ph/today links.


I am interested, too!


This is great! I would love something like this for Hong Kong. The prices here are very volatile due to special offers, etc.

Any plans to add other countries?


If I had unlimited time I would love to. Unfortunately I can’t see it expanding beyond Canada anytime soon though.


I would suggest using a tasmota smart plug and check energy consumption to determine if program has finished.


This can be changed in the BIOS.


As a 12 year old: I tried to overclock my first "good" own computer (AMD Duron 1200 MHz). System wouldn't start at 1600 MHz and I didn't know BIOS reset exists. I ended up putting the computer in the freezer and let it cool down for an hour. I placed the CRT display on top and the power/VGA keyboard cable going into the freezer. I managed to set it back to the original frequency before it died.


I kept a supply of coins in the freezer. I would regularly toss a few into the heatsink on my TRS-80 that was unstable after a RAM upgrade.


You guys are really smart. When I was a kid I had a graphics card that would overheat and crash the computer when I played Lineage. So I would get down under my desk and blow on it...


When I was a teenager my friend would throw his laptop into the freezer for a few minutes every hour when we were playing games. He probably threw it in there hundreds of times, and it worked fine for years.


A friend had an overheating laptop that even an external cooler couldn’t keep up with so he got to sit right next to the open door in winter.

We called it the Frozen Throne.


I don't know why but this reminds me of how we picture-framed my friend's old Wifi chip after replacing it, because that chip failing all the time was basically the core feature of our group's gaming sessions.


Once my phone died from a cracked solder joint. I had cold veggie sausages in the hotel room fridge. Holding my phone against the sausages let me grab a couple more files off of it. Saved my OTP keys that way (I've fixed my backups now :) )


Hahah this is amazing!
