It’s the brand’s first stab at a fully spherical shooter and, true to Akaso’s roots, it lands at a price that [...]

Edifier NeoBuds Planar Review

Edifier, it seems fair to say, is prepared to push the boat out – and these NeoBuds Planar are just the latest example.

But Edifier is [...]

Show HN: A GitHub Action that quizzes you on a pull request

I found that the reasoning models, while more expensive, generated better questions from my limited testing.
