I moved into a house with an obscene number of GU10 LED downlighters. The bulbs were all mid market (I think) brands like Energizer etc. I’d guess they’re coming up to 7-8 years ol…

I know there are some criticisms of Capital in the 21st Century and Picketty himself, but the book changed how I see the world profoundly, I cannot recommend it highly enough to an…

You can still use old.reddit, you just need to be logged in. That said, if old.reddit ever went away altogether I would stop using it too.

I drink milk because a) I prefer flat whites to espressos and b) to make my cornflakes wet. In both cases I prefer oat milk and in neither cases do I care about nutrition. I’m gues…

We have more issues with FileVault than we do with BitLocker, the latter being a fleet 5 times larger than the former. I find both “fine” for enterprise.

Also found it fascinating, although on the discussion about brakes I thought about how regen braking turns off in my EV when the battery is full, because there is no where to put t…

I recall thinking the same thing when Apple and Microsoft hit $1tn. Here we are less than a decade later and they’re up 3-400%.

I guess they meant 'by nature', but maybe not, which will be fun to hear!

I was looking for this game on GOG only an hour ago having regaled a teenager with how great it was! It’s not on GOG unfortunately.

I’ve often thought about a model like this and would love to see a few news outlets run it as a pilot and see how it stacks up.

I had a similar realisation in IT support - I regularly discover the answers I get from junior-to mid-level engineers need to be verified, are based on false assumption or are wild…

The baffling thing is that iOS+MDM has been fantastic over the years. macOS is a completely different beast though.

It can be done that way, but it is definitely not the norm. Businesses will generally “purchase” (many for €0) apps in ABM that are to be used for business purposes and push those …

€1500 or so for Tesla to replace the screen, cheaper in many other cars.

Energy ≠ electricity

I guess if your goal is just to stream aircraft telemetry and black box like recordings then latency may not be high on the agenda.

That seems like a rather cynical take. I think you’re conflating philosophy as guidance for how to live (stoicism etc) and philosophy as more of a science to explore unanswered que…

I was giving the Leaf as an example of a worse warranty offering from 15 years ago sorry. Toyota now have the longer warranty compared to all the others, and even as a fairly poor …

I get what you’re saying but I think it misses that battery longevity can be a competitive advantage for the companies with better technology. The Nissan Leaf 15 years ago came wit…

I disagree. They could for example make it mandatory to grant more stock options to employees so the wealth they are generating is more broadly spread beyond the founder/CEO. I’m s…

Sam Bankman-Fried. And I think he’s a bit of a special case, others do not need to be worried they’ll succumb to multi billion dollar fraud schemes if they try to earn-to-give.

Don’t think they’re dumb, their goals are just shorter-term, they need to juice the numbers before the next election cycle.

I rented a hybrid recently while my car was in for a service. Picked it up, drove home (25 mins on motorway) then returned it the next day. It spent all of that time burning petrol…

Other than price, in what ways are they streets ahead? I’m a bit of an EV nerd and that would not be my assessment at all. Unfortunately for Western manufacturers price/volume is p…

I’ve just Googled SpiderFoot and gone to the top result (spiderfoot.org). I see four banners on-screen promoting VPNs and crypto and a pop-up that reappears every few seconds telli…
