    Even a few short years ago the Model S Plaids were still getting derided for their horrible fit and finish. That's like, a decade into production. These cars are very long in the t…

    Serious question because I don’t know about this sort of thing: Apple’s investment in building its own in-house “Apple Silicon” is large. Can anyone definitely prove they haven’t b…

    about 15 years ago I started an aggregator to accumulate/sort/filter the best instruction of various topics, kinda like Reddit for learning. This is such a perfect example of the k…

    an app to communicate with my gardener. His English is okay but we've had miscommunications. We can itemize tasks, request quotes, delineate with photos, and do basic scheduling+bi…

    I was a contractor at a FAANG for a few years, and they handed me a job. In the few weeks of transition between the two (some paperwork, etc.) a job posting and req ID was created …

    I don’t hate the Apple Watch, but I was pretty seriously disappointed at how it looked when it came out. Great! They made a watch look like my phone, cool
