Yea, the timer is a little stressful though I understand the purpose/design behind it. I do like the suggestion of the no timer or a relaxed mode with. PS anyone have any other fun…

If you don't mind me asking, do Waterfox and Librewolf add significant benefits that you wouldn't get by customizing base Firefox?

Does anyone use any Firefox forks (Waterfox, Librewolf, etc.) as their primary browser for privacy and performance reasons? I know Zen is fairly popular for it's UI choices but I a…

That's debatable. Pretty much every generation of the Pixel phones have had some major issues. They've even had to do multiple extended repair/replace programs due to some of them.…

Wasn't aware that there was an Edcation version but that unattended installer site seem like a great way to install, without using a bunch of random Power Shell scripts.

Anyone have a good guide to (re)install Windows without any of the bloat? Preferably using Group Policy vs registry changes. I've seen Tiny11 referenced but haven't seen a good gui…

Would love to see support for Google Voice messages in the future.

Or why GOP legislatures in states like Wisconsin or North Carolina remove powers from Governor, AG and other elected positions only when Democrats win but not when Republicans do?

For the Technical Account Manager and Technical Customer Success roles, do you require a technical background or is a willingness to learn enough to be considered?

Same with the Republicans in the US and the deficit, "small" government, etc.

In addition, it looks like third-party apps (there are a few) that interface with the official Signal client maybe against Signal's TOS. They haven't enforced it yet from what I ca…

For anyone else that's not familiar, this is referring to https://molly.im/ which looks like it's a fork of Signal. And looks like it interops with Signal, so you can talk to your …

While we are on the topic of Signal, does anyone know if it's possible to have a lock/PIN to open the Signal app itself that's different than your device lock/PIN? Threema has this…

This is something I am considering as well, so I am definitely interested in hearing feedback from other users that have gotten LASIK or have looked into it. If it matters, I have …

> 2: When I sort my photos on a Pixel, I sort them in folders. The "camera" folder is where the unsorted photos are. When I sit in a bus or in a cafe, I go through it and sort the …

> That's terrible advice, please stop giving terrible advice like that. ICE need to have probable cause (about you specifically, by name, not just your street or zipcode or "people…

Most of corporate America is still primarily using x86 systems.

> Edit: When the democrats removed the filibuster for judicial confirmations they started us on this path. Predictably the Republicans responded by including the scotus. That was t…

I would love this if it allowed me to backup all photos taken with the iPhone to an external drive. Currently, Apple dumps all pictures (from the Camera, from iMessage, WhatsApp, e…

> So what's left? I have a whole bunch of .HEIC photos and I'd really like if Windows Explorer didn't freeze for literal minutes when I open a folder with them. Yea, how is this st…

Yea, his involvement with the Covid vaccine research seems to have made him a target for a large portion of the GOP/MAGA contingent. They are convinced that he wants to use the vac…

Genuine question but how likely is that to happen? The media doesn't seem to be doing a good job articulating what the (likely) real world impact is going to be. I keep hearing how…

Given the myraid of issues they seem to have, I am not sure I would classify Pixels as having polish. But yes, they definitely have the talent to make some good hardware. It's just…

Yes, I find PowerShell is criminally underrated for these type of tasks. Even though it's open source and cross-platform, the stigma from it's Windows-centric days is hard to overc…
