    Uhhh.. for a page thats about GUIs, this seems awfully sparse for the actual look and feel of said GUIs. How about some screenshots? Its very difficult to compare X to Y anywhere o…

    What's the reason you asked this question? I mean, yeah, you could have stayed silent, and nowadays everyone assumes that pointing out obvious things in a condescending tone is kin…

    I cannot find anywhere in the documentation that shows exactly where or how this "cloud sandbox" is deployed or maintained. Is this Docker, Kubernetes, KVM/Xen, AWS, Azure, GCP, Fl…

    Incorrect, only some UUIDs are random, specifically v4 and v7 (v7 uses time as well). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universally_unique_identifier > 00000000-1111-2222-3333-44444444…

    I 100% agree with this take: adding Bandcamp to this "media" app is a really shitty thing to do. I personally know a few musicians who use Bandcamp to either exclusively make a liv…

    I've had the same issues as you, and here are some things I've done or tried as a remedy. Try going into Android "Developer options" and enable the option "Disable Absolute Volume"…

    We need another Bell Labs where people can experiment without immediate monetization. Look at the history of lasers and such. Took decades but now we have femto pulse lasers for La…

    Kinda related, anyone know of something similar for Windows? This is definitely going in my toolkit, but I need something similar for Windows client traffic inspection (tls 1.2+) t…

    I may not email as it isn't a serious pursuit, but more curiosity. Thank you for the invitation! My current fascination is in separation and classification. And modular synthesis w…

    Prosecute the scrap metal yards more harshly, have a "police book" like used car lots and pawn shops. Document the person selling, get a photo of the same with the persons face, et…

    Yeah, not verifying server cert or OCSP/CRLs is a problem. DNS attacks can redirect and you'd be none the wiser.

    So, what is the count of D-Link exploits in their routers now? I swear there is at least 1-2 per year for as long as I can remember. Do they just hire some rando code monkeys with …

    The biggest challenge to this is weather. Do you really want to roll down your window and get soaked in a rainstorm to pick a #1 with a diet coke? Most drive-thrus I've ever seen (…

    For sure, I agree with you 100%. This is basically "Legal Analysis for Dummies" if you choose to rely on a machine to give you help here. Medical is also a bad domain. What do you …

    Wow, I'm feeling lucky. I have the exact same turntable. Using a different app (since I use Android) I was able to gyroscopicly measure just 1.3% average difference. I have a sense…
