As much as the original author bemoans having to do the labeling themselves, 99% of people don't care or don't have such a mix of cables as to make it a challenge to find one to su…

Banks are only a part of the larger issue. Imagine traveling somewhere, and run through the things you'll need to work without tinkering. Camera, eSIM, GPS/maps, more "exotic" mess…

As an alternative to actually talking for them and being near them, maaaaaybe. Though, at that point you're introducing trust to something that attackers might learn to emulate eno…

Honestly, not really. The problem is that often the scams are symptoms of a larger problem. The elderly still want autonomy, and the scams adapt and change faster than education ca…

You can easily selfhost a redlib instance and keep reading. I stopped logging in to reddit a year or two ago, but there's still a couple niche communities that are worth it for me …

My issue is that they're touted to the consumer as secure, and they're not really doing much more than a complex password. How do you generate a new key if you need one? Same proce…

Thanks for making this privacy-forward. I had been using Heliboard and then a kludge to get another language they don't support via Simple keyboard. It worked well as a workaround,…

It does, actually. Do a loop around the doubled letter. It's a common swipe gesture on most keyboards, IIRC, for at least a decade. Not sure why it's hardly ever mentioned. iphones…

Unless you've had fraud committed against you, that's a hard sell. What dollar figure do you use as the basis? Are you suing for years of credit monitoring? Because that's typicall…

Having worked with telco companies, 99% of it is "Yeah, but this stuff still works just fine;) And if a government compels us to change our equipment for reasons other than nationa…

The most amazing part of Blue Zones, IMO, is the staying power of a few mythological health Shangri-La places. Debunked or not, people will repeat this idea for a generation or two…

At some point we all have to remember that the monitor showing these commands is also an actor, and not actually a computer hooked up to a special laser that scans your body, destr…

I imagine people won't like the comparison, but this is exactly how changes in leadership work for developing countries. Anyone tied to the old regime that isn't immediately, obvio…

For a while CBS refused to put Northern Exposure on streaming platforms due to the rights needed for all the songs that appeared both in the soundtrack and just in the background o…

Having done data broker opt-outs manually using the Big Ass Data Broker Opt Out List ( https://github.com/yaelwrites/Big-Ass-Data-Broker-Opt-Out-Li... ), very little of the process…

That's the point of the comment, humans do things all the time that aren't part of some larger cultural-ritual-religious aspect. We spend a lot of time and resources doing things t…

Had a similar problem in 2013. Fitness tracker showed my partner and I woke up at exactly 4:00am every day. Barely audible TV from neighbor through a shared wall the source. Litera…

It goes much deeper than that. The John Deere ecosystem is designed to trap farmers using a combination of the closed ecosystem and financing. They've been at it for years, selling…

So the formula is basically: (Late 90's Pop Group Framework)*(Dead Internet Theory) = Clicks and Streams

Everyone knows how much the bribe is: Collusion! Cartels! Calamity! No one knows how much the bribe is? "Relationships are Important", "Cost of Doing Business", "An Investment in U…

If it has an HDMI port, and even better if it has a USB port for power, is you can buy an $40 Amazon Fire Stick and use and upgrade with your TV until it physically dies. Truly, no…

Looking at the author's work for West Africa, when is it a travel guide and not just a diary in travel guide format? Though it's a bit frustrating to read how close he gets to some…

Imagine no more! An article about this seems to be written about a trend of "too expensive!" every decade. 2023: https://www.luxurydaily.com/american-couples-spending-more-m... 201…

1 million% agree - I've lived in Ghana and a number of other countries in West and Southern Africa. I've sadly attended many funerals in each place. These photos that visually driv…

I thought the same thing - hopefully by the time Artemis III launches they'll remember the gaps and blank screens from this launch. Even the live telemetry model at the core stage …
