I waddled onto the beach and stole found a computer to use.

  • Nice, I had no idea

    I tried out Fladder, Moonfin, and Wholphin

    • Fladder does load, but it crashes on certain pages for me. My guess is that my hardware isn’t powerful enough to handle something that it’s trying to do
    • Moonfin and Wholfin are both beautiful with an intuitive UI. Between the two, I liked Wholfin the best. It has a preview when customizing the home page, which is very helpful compared to the back and forth guess and test with the other ones. I also prefer it’s UI and default settings over the others

    I replaced Findroid with Wholphin on ours







  • Edit: see the reply on my comment

    I’m not sure if I understood this criticism. The Reddit thread links to this page:

    https://web.archive.org/web/20251203060750/https://kagi.com/changelog#5340

    Our image search became even better with the inclusion of two more sources: Yandex Image Search (widely recognized as one of best image search services) and Openverse (vast collection of openly licensed images). Kagi is doing the hard work so that you don’t have to.

    Are they financially supporting or sponsoring Yandex in some other way?

    To me, this sounds like they added the option to run an image search on Yandex? I use a browser extension for image searches that has a number of options including Google, Bing, Yandex, Baidu, Sogou, etc., and users are free to choose which ones they want to try searching on: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/search_by_image/

    I also remember seeing Bellingcat (who has done excellent investigative reporting on Russia’s invasion of Ukraine) using Yandex tools to gather information because it has information on the region that other English/Chinese focused tools don’t.

    I don’t doubt that Yandex tries to manipulate information in favor of the government in Russia. Rather with the right browser protections, someone can take advantage of their free tools and cost Yandex money without Yandex benefiting from it. It’s not necessarily a bad thing for Kagi to let people do that?







  • Volvo’s new central computing system, HuginCore (named after a bird in Norse mythology), runs the EX60 with more than 250 trillion operations per second. It has been developed in-house, together with its partners Google, Nvidia, and Qualcomm.

    “With the HuginCore system we can collect a lot of data and make decisions in the car instantly and combine that with the belt’s ability to choose different load levels,” says Åsa Haglund, head of the Volvo Cars Safety Center. “A box of possibilities opens up where you can detect what type of crash it is and who is in the car and choose a more optimal belt force.”

    Neat! I’m somewhat familiar with homebrew but I haven’t kept up with it in years. I didn’t know you could put Linux on it too

    I wonder how it would do as a media center for the living room. I’d much rather use a Wii remote to navigate on a TV instead of buttons.

    Being able to play Jellyfin off of it somehow would be amazing, I imagine it will need a custom app. Possibly based off of this thing? https://www.wiimc.org/about/
