Hearing a $5 tier on planetscale was cool and I was thinking about using it for a future project, but those specs are just way too low to be worth it for $5/mo. I think I will just get a $5/mo vps with 32x the CPU (probably more as this is 2 x86 cpu cores vs 1/16 arm) and 8x the ram for the same price. The stats, insights and dashboards are cool, but for hobbyist projects that's too steep for the specs you get in my opinion.
I think in fairness it's an apples to oranges comparison.
How long will it take you to setup postgres on a VM and sort out and pay for somewhere to put backups? Let's say only a hour, and your time is worth say $30/hour you've just spent 6 months of planetscale fees and you've still got to pay your VPS and backup provider.
That's one way to look at it. I personally think it's worth burning a few hours to learn how to do something yourself even if you don't immediately get value out of it.
If you want apples to apples then Planetscale is compared to the ergonomics, pricing, and performance of the bests. If you want to compare you don’t analyze things in isolation by looking at your own expenses.
Going on 2 years of linux only, between Debian and Endevour, other than linux nvidia drivers crapping themselves basically every update its been awesome. I do miss Fusion360 and League with friends, but its been overall very good and I recommend it to anyone on the fence. Break free.
Depends on the service but for the most part googles infra has its own stack that GCP is built on top of. There is always initiatives going on to get more internal stuff running on GCP as opposed to the internal infra directly, but none of them have really stuck that I saw.
Don't most washers and dryers have timed start like dishwashers do? I always remember mine having pictures like that but maybe that's just not a common thing
but why???? If i have already gotten off my ass to go throw the clothes in it and so I'm literally standing right next to it, in what universe won't I just press "start" and instead press a bunch of buttons to set up a timer?
If you want to run it overnight, or while you're at work, so it finishes as you arrive and doesn't leave the clean clothes in a clump for hours (or so it runs during cheaper power hours)
>and doesn't leave the clean clothes in a clump for hours
As opposed to having your clothes be in a wet clump for hours? Between the two choices I'd prefer it being dry, because I know at least there will be less microbial activity.
Maybe I am just a bit naive on the under the hood workings of the play integrity system, but I would imagine most of the devices not passing attestation are just Rooted or 3rd party roms. Those can easily change around keyboxes and mock stuff out (for now at least) to try and pass these checks, would that not also spoof device id making this void? I guess you could also use this to store info on devices that are not spoofing stuff, like device level bans for a game or something. Maybe that's more the use case here rather than the continued war against enthusiasts.
Apple having such a dominant hold of market share in the smartphone space gave a lot of leverage when negotiating royalties with Sony who makes the felica stuff. From what I heard it was basically just gifted to them, because if Apple says no we wont support it, then you lose a huge amount of users. Whereas with other manufacturers they pay on a per device basis tracked by the underlying osaifu-keitai stuff. If you are rooted though it is usually just 1 flag or something you need to change. Been using my US Pixel 6 for years daily on my commutes.
