This is perfect for me, who want to avoid Chinese-branded devices as much as possible.

Right, but do you know what radio chips they are using inside?

I would guess they are chinese...

Why would you guess Chinese? Broadcom, Qualcomm, MediaTek, and Realtek are the typical answers for radio chips, no? None of whom are Chinese? There certainly are Chinese radio chips, such as from Espressif or Huawei, but they aren't especially popular in APs or anything

Most of those chips are made in TSMC or samsung foundries, the majority of which are currently in China or South Asia.

The majority of their foundries are in Taiwan and South Korea which, to avoid politics, is outside what most people mean when they worry about tech made in China (they think about the PRC).

Realtek windows drivers literally have taiwnese written text. They are as American as Lego

I really dont see what your comment means in response to the current thread?

So not China unless you’re being pedantic and pretending when people say they are avoiding China they doin don’t mean the mainland governed by the communist party.

None of them are in china. They are in Taiwan and South Korea.

To be strictly accurate TSMC has exactly 2 fabs in China (Fab 10 & Fab 16). So it's not "none" in China, but very almost none.

Looks like Qualcomm X62

Smells like something that Effect-TS is designed to solve in the TypeScript world.

Reminds me of this line of code where Apple included a symbol just to please an app (which happens to be WeChat, the largest IM app in China): https://github.com/apple-oss-distributions/libmalloc/blob/13...

Teams has been awful in terms of getting the notifications to you. Also small things like not being to able to reorder channels is bonkers.

I was going to suggest moving to Slack for our nonprofit, having been unsatisfied with Mattermost a while back. It might be time to reconsider...

Could you share the specific limitations of Mattermost that were unsatisfactory? Are there any circumstances under which you'd still recommend them?

I hate microsoft, but I really hate slack.

Now I understand all of those old bitter IT people that I didn't understand when I was young and starting out in tech.

I really wonder why Discord didn’t start an enterprise offering called Concord. I’m sure there’s enough kids using it that it would get some traction.

Yeah, Discord not going into competition with Slack or Teams has been an own-goal that I've been baffled by for years. Given that Slack apparently thinks their incredibly subpar offering is worth $200k a year, I can't imagine why Discord wouldn't roll out a "We'll run a standalone instance of Discord with your information siloed and DMs retained for legal purposes, with full Nitro/Boost perks for $ALOTOFMONEY/user" version of their software.

It's quite fortuitous Discord never went down this path you've outlined. "Concord" is now a term synonymous with abject and astounding failure. "Unity" is also taken and fraught with negative associations. "Harmony" might be free.

“Harmony” is a line of programmable remote controls from Logitech.

yep tech is a truly revolutionary industry - it goes in circles. Once you seen the same BS cycle happen a few times it's real hard to not become jaded.

Honestly I have so many issues getting notifications on Slack. Messages go completely missed even when I have the user VIP'd, starred, notifications on, everything. I don't know what else I can do to make sure I get messages, to the point I ask people to reach out on Signal if I don't get back to them on Slack and it's at all urgent.

Hey! Was looking at https://jobs.lever.co/planting.space and it looks like nothing is open?

Apologies for any confusion! The correct link is indeed: https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/PlantingSpace

Thanks for pointing this out!

Looks like the correct URL is https://jobs.ashbyhq.com/PlantingSpace.

Sent in an application - very cool about supporting neurodivergent people!

SEEKING WORK | Berlin, Germany | REMOTE (flexible timezones)

CV: https://cv.thelastcode.io

Email: tyteen4a03@thelastcode.io

I am a software engineer with over 6 years of experience building web applications.

Since my first website at 10 on GeoCities, I've gone on to work on Minecraft custom servers, MMORPGs, web application used by millions, and led volunteer teams to deliver IT services powering a homeless shelter network every Christmas.

I enjoy being "the glue" to IT projects, working across disciplines to ensure they get delivered on time, meet budget and satisfy users. I specialise in modernising legacy applications using modern technologies and frameworks, and have created greenfield applications from scratch.

I speak PHP, Python, JavaScript / TypeScript, and have worked with frameworks like Next.js and FastAPI. My current obsession is headless CMSes (PayloadCMS gets my vote).

Or use PayloadCMS, which is Next but at least you don't need to deal with WordPress.

Does anybody have Vercel's mailing address? I would like to send them a "Have a good day at school!" card for this issue, which will be old enough to attend elementary school next year: https://github.com/vercel/next.js/issues/10084
